Some viewers found the effect of the miracle essence hard to believe. But before they could voice their doubts, the video ended with clips of real people using the product. The results weren't instant, but they were enough to convince those who had been affected by the youthify cream.
Thus, the backlash against Geller Cosmetics quickly subsided under Daniel's decisive actions.
Jennifer looked at him with a conflicted expression.
"I guess that's the end of this matter. It even gave our company a boost in sales," Daniel said with a smile.
Charlene finally relaxed her furrowed brows. "I've already received quite a few manufacturing partnership inquiries, but I turned down a few of them outright."
She then glanced at Jennifer, who immediately hung her head in shame.
"Go and refill my coffee," Daniel said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Ashcroft," Jennifer replied instantly, not daring to disobey.
Charlene hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back. In the end, she sighed and asked, "What do you plan to do with Jennifer's company?"
"I'm going to let it rot!" Daniel replied with a scoff. "Those people never planned to back her—they just needed a scapegoat. Now, the company's nothing more than an empty shell. The only real problem is dealing with the loan sharks breathing down her neck."
Jennifer, in the middle of making coffee, trembled slightly at his words. Those loan sharks wouldn't let her off easily.
What confused her the most was how she had been so blind back then. There were so many red flags in the contract, yet she had signed it without a second thought.
Looking back now, it was obvious that Zidane had set her up.
"Hurry up with my coffee!" Daniel snapped when he noticed her spacing out.
"Yes, Mr. Ashcroft!" Jennifer quickly responded and went back to what she was doing. She didn't dare to show any resentment. After all, she brought all of this on herself.
