She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 66

The news that the Hale Group’s new serum was a blatant knockoff of Veloria Beauty’s anti-aging serum continued to spread like wildfire online.

Evelyn treated Emilia to lunch today, and the two were giddy with anticipation, waiting to see Melanie’s downfall.

“Forget being Vice President. I think she’ll be lucky if she doesn’t get fired.”

Hearing Emilia's comment, Evelyn simply smiled without saying a word.

Just getting fired wasn't nearly enough.

As Dominic's legally wedded wife, Melanie was, for all intents and purposes, a part of the Hale Group.

Removing Melanie from her position wouldn't be the biggest blow to her.

Although the scandal with the Hale Group's new serum would also have a significant impact on Dominic, Evelyn couldn't be bothered with that.

She needed Melanie to fail.

Utterly and completely.

Only then would Dominic and the Hale family finally wake up and realize that Melanie could never be an asset to their business.

Once Melanie lost that value, Dominic would divorce her.

And then, he would marry Evelyn.

The more Evelyn thought about it, the more delighted she became, taking a few more bites of her food.

For three consecutive days, Dominic didn't see Melanie.

He didn’t want to look at her face.

He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself from hitting her.

It was Melanie who had boasted that she could reformulate the serum in a week.

In the end, while the Luminaria Aesthetic Institute had approved it, the new serum was torn apart on social media the moment it launched.

Now, forget making a profit; the Hale Group would be lucky if they weren’t sued by both the Luminaria Aesthetic Institute and Veloria Beauty.

“Melanie really is a lost cause...”

Sitting in the general manager's office, Dominic hung his head and muttered to himself, “It was a mistake to let someone as incompetent as Melanie become the VP in the first place!”

But it was too late for regrets now.

For the past few days, Dominic hadn't been able to sleep well, constantly on edge, terrified that the Luminaria Aesthetic Institute and Veloria Beauty would demand compensation.

He had already launched an emergency PR campaign and prepared for the worst.

“Mr. Hale!”

Suddenly, his new secretary burst into his office.

Dominic shot up from his chair, his face grim.

What happened to anti-aging? How did it get rid of my twenty-year-old acne scars?

Can you believe this turnaround? Don’t believe me, try it for yourselves. I’ve already stocked up on ten bottles. You do you.

Evelyn scoffed as she saw beauty bloggers all over the internet promoting the Hale Group's new serum.

“I thought Melanie had some incredible trick up her sleeve! It’s nothing more than paying these bloggers for a sponsored post.”

Just as she finished speaking, Emilia handed her phone over.

“I don’t think… it’s sponsored…”

On the screen was one of the most popular and widely followed content creators on the internet.

He was a male streamer who usually focused on gaming, not beauty products.

“I just really wanted to make a quick buck…”

“The VP of the Hale Group put the word out. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beauty blogger or not. Any content creator can go to a store, register, and get a free sample. If you don’t see results in 24 hours, they’ll pay you ten times the original price of the serum!”

“Friends, it’s a surefire win! I had to get in on that first big score, so I went and got one yesterday…”

“And you know what happened? It works like a charm.”

“Look at my face—I’m not using a filter! The acne is gone, but the moles are still there, see!”
