Chapter 175 Suicide

“What did you say, Jess?”

Jess hadn’t spoken loudly, but everyone in the room heard her. All eyes immediately turned toward her.

The lively atmosphere vanished in an instant.

One of the R&D employees picked up the bottle of foundation.

“Isn’t this ours? I can’t really tell the difference.”

The samples on the table were the ones scheduled to be displayed at tomorrow’s product launch. They would later be distributed to guests for demonstrations and trial use.

There absolutely could not be any problems.

Lilian picked up the elegantly packaged bottle and squeezed a small amount onto the back of her hand.

Her expression quickly turned serious.

“Jess is right, this isn’t our foundation. The texture feels terrible on the skin…”

She frowned. “And the back of my hand is starting to itch.”

Using a makeup–removing wipe, Lilian wiped the foundation away and found the patch of skin underneath had already turned red.

The launch event featured Julie Young as a special guest, along with reporters from major media outlets and experts from several product testing agencies.

If something like this were reported…

Venus would be finished.

One of the employees, Yolanda, couldn’t help asking, “Then… where did our real foundation go?”

“That’s not the important question right now.” Iris immediately redirected

everyone’s attention. “Check every single product immediately. If you find anything suspicious, destroy it on the spot.”

“And don’t spread this around. Handle it quietly.”

There could still be people inside the company working for Nick.

Or perhaps…

For the person standing behind him.

Whoever that person was, they clearly knew how to stay hidden and keep a low profile.

The R&D team wasted no time carrying every new product back to the laboratory for inspection.

After watching them leave, Bella spoke up. “President Zero… do you think it could be Jess?”

The thought had suddenly crossed her mind.

Iris shook her head.

“No.”

“Jess was bullied far too severely by Supervisor Zedd before. She attracted too much attention. Whoever planted this person would’ve wanted someone inconspicuous–a hidden trump card left inside Venus.”

Besides, Iris had investigated Jess long ago.

There had never been any issues with her.

That left everyone else…

Time passed quickly.

Before anyone knew it, the day of Venus’s product launch had arrived.

With Julie Young and Belinda Studio both enjoying tremendous popularity, anticipation for the event was exceptionally high.

Besides the lucky audience members selected through a drawing, many well- known journalists and experts from several independent testing organizations had also been invited.

That morning, Iris intended to visit Nick again to ask whether he had made his decision.

“What?”

The police officer receiving her wore an apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry. Mr. Nick committed suicide last night.”

“We searched him thoroughly when he was taken into custody, so we still don’t know where he hid the poison. He took it himself.”

“He also left behind a suicide note.”

Iris accepted the note.

It was unmistakably Nick’s handwriting.

There were only a few words.

[Nothing to disclose.

The writing was rushed.

It looked eerily like the final spikes on a heart monitor before death.

Rising…

Falling…

“The case has already been ruled a suicide,” the officer explained. “The surveillance footage shows him writing the note himself and taking the poison.”

Iris nodded. “May I take this to his family?”

“Of course.”

Today, the one driving Iris to the product launch was Ares Barclay.

By the time he finished it, his little sister had already been picked up. Who had arranged that conveniently timed phone call hardly needed to be said.

“The method was crude.” Ares smiled as he opened the passenger door for her. “But it worked.”

Jess was supposed to go onstage with Lilian to introduce the products.

“Oh, Jess…”
