She Left, She Thrived, She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 67

“I have to be honest. Since it works so well, I have to help set the record straight…”

Evelyn slapped Emilia’s phone out of her hand, sending it clattering to the floor.

“Evelyn!”

Emilia was heartbroken, but seeing the look on Evelyn’s face, she didn’t dare say another word.

Taking advantage of the negative press, beauty bloggers of all sizes had tried to cash in on the drama. They figured they could get compensation and views at the same time, and if the Hale Group refused to pay, they could milk that for even more content.

But they never expected that the Hale Group's new serum, which had been trashed all over the internet right after its launch, was actually incredibly effective.

Although many people initially questioned whether these bloggers had been paid, the power of organic word-of-mouth was always the greatest force.

On top of that, Melanie seized the opportunity to invite a renowned dermatologist to conduct a live demonstration and testing, which provided even clearer proof of the serum's cellular-level efficacy.

In just two days, the new serum was selling out everywhere.

Evelyn was furious.

Dominic, however, had been ecstatic for the past few days. After work today, he proactively took Evelyn to buy new toys for Lila.

But Evelyn couldn't bring herself to be happy.

Although the toys were for her daughter, the reason for Dominic’s good mood was Melanie.

“Dominic, I mean… how did Melanie manage to reformulate the serum to have cellular-grade effects in just a week? It’s almost too good to be true. Don’t you think there’s something strange about it?” Evelyn asked casually as they ate dinner face-to-face.

“I already asked Melanie about that. You know how she studied pharmacology, right? She said she got help from a former classmate.”

“What kind of classmate is that brilliant? Where do they work now?”

“I don’t know about that.”

Dominic looked at Evelyn, surprised.

“Why does it matter? Her family has always been well-connected in the pharmaceutical world. This time, her classmate was willing to help, and the result was good, so what’s the problem?”

“...Right…”

Evelyn tightened her grip on her fork.

“Melanie did mention offhandedly that her classmate’s current value is more than I could afford to hire. No idea what kind of expert they are.”

Hearing Dominic’s explanation, Evelyn frowned.

She had a feeling that there was something fishy about how easily Melanie had managed to reformulate the serum.

Tonight, Melanie had prepared a lavish dinner and invited Preston to eat with her.
