Gia thought Lina was brave. "You did right, Lina. Someone exposed that their drinks are shady. They use harmful chemicals. If they continue selling it, it'll be terrible for the consumers!"
"But the Grists are powerful. They didn't do anything even after they were exposed. Instead, they're oppressing us." Lina played with her hair stressfully. "I don't care about anything else. I'm just worried that I'll drag my parents and brother down."
Gia held her hand softly.
The Grists were powerful in the business industry in Jangasas. They were rich and powerful. The beverage company under the Grist Group had been achieving No. 1 in sales for many years. They were slowly taking over the market, and some imported brands were eliminated.
As such, the Grist Group was dominant, and they were getting careless with their quality.
The recently exposed product, Rose Dew. was found to be falsely advertised. Despite claims of being healthy and beneficial for the skin, it was discovered that the product contained no natural ingredients. Instead, it consisted of a mixture of artificial flavors, coloring, and chemicals. Not only was it ineffective in providing any benefits, but it was also harmful to the body. As a result, numerous individuals took to the Internet to voice their criticism of the product.
Upon noticing that her family's supermarket was selling the beverage, which was displayed in a prominent location, Lina swiftly removed the product from the shelves.
Driven by impulse, she reported the company and even wrote a letter urging other businesses to boycott the Grists. It was this action that made Lina a target of Violet's hostility at school.
Lina sighed, regretting it a little bit now. How could she be so impulsive? She should have had a bulletproof plan.
Gia grabbed her shoulders, advising her not to think so much. She should think about her own safety for now.
"Violet certainly won't let you go," she said. "You guys are like enemies in school now. She might drag you into the bathroom next time!"
"She failed to do anything to me today. I don't think she'd go for the bathroom again." Lina smiled. "I should be fine if I'm more careful."
Gia nodded. There was nothing that she could do about her.
In reality, nobody was willing to take the lead to confront the injustice. However, this rebellious girl had always been a heroine who insisted on claiming justice.
