The Fake Heiress and Her Purrfect Partner novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259

“Now it all makes sense!” The seasoned dog owner clapped his hands excitedly. “If even a world-class champion like Shadow eats this dog food, then winning the champion of the Golden Paw Cup is basically a given, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the dogs around him went wild, tugging at their owners’ pant legs, begging and whining.

“It’s Shadow! Just like my idol! Mom, buy it for me!”

“If I eat this, I’ll be as cool as Shadow! If you don’t buy it, I’m not moving from here!”

“I wanna be a cool wolf king too! Starting with this dog food!”

Nina smoothly presented the international certification she’d prepared ahead of time, putting it up on the big screen. “Everyone, check this out. Our KrillJoy has passed the toughest pet food standards. Safety and quality are guaranteed!”

Any lingering doubts vanished from the crowd.

“Even a world-class champion dog eats this every day. There’s no way they’d use appetite stimulants!”

“Ms. Summer, you’re not gonna start limiting how much we can buy or raising the price just because it’s popular, right?” one of the crowds shouted.

“Don’t worry, everyone!” Nina said with a bright smile. “Our supply chain is rock solid, no tricks, no artificial shortages.

“Everything you see at the expo today is available at Fletcher Foods Chain stores in every major city. The price is the same everywhere, no markups, no hidden fees. We’d love to see you come back again and again!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a long line formed in front of her small booth.

Meanwhile, over at Claire’s extravagantly decorated booth for Celestial Dog Food, the place was deserted. In just ten minutes, the tables had completely turned.

Claire’s face was livid with rage, her chest heaving as she struggled to control her anger.

Seeing this, Amelia sprang forward and caught hold of the event organizer. “You need to shut down Nina’s booth right now! She’s shamelessly piggybacking off Celestial Dog Food’s buzz, using us as a stepping stone to climb to the top!”

For the past few days, Summer Group had been riding high on their sales, bossing the organizers around and making all kinds of outrageous demands.

The organizer finally lost his patience and shook off Amelia’s hand.

“Prime booth, cleared the whole floor for you. I gave you all the VIP treatment you asked for! Now you can’t even hold onto your own crowd, and you want to blame someone else?”

He pointed at the packed Krilljoy booth across the hall and let out a cold laugh. “All she did was crack open a bag of dog food, and even the top dogs came trotting over with their gold bowls.

“You poured millions into marketing, but you still lost to a single sample bag, so whose fault is that, really?”

With that, he waved over some staff. “Go, send more people to Ms. Summer’s booth. Keep things under control and make sure nobody leaves empty-handed!”

The organizer wasn’t clueless. After watching Krilljoy steal the spotlight, he knew exactly whose side he should be on from now on.

Claire stared in shock as the organizer, instead of coming to her rescue, eagerly sent extra staff over to Nina’s booth to keep order and help with the crowd.

After she had basked in VIP treatment these past few days, Claire’s vision went black for a moment. She almost stumbled, barely keeping herself upright.

Her heart clenched with a sudden, irrational panic.

Amelia quickly steadied Claire, trying to sound calm. “Ms. Summer, even if she’s ahead for now, so what?

Celestial Dog Food’s already got a solid reputation internationally. Nina’s just having a moment in the local market. She’s got no chance of going global!”

The market turned on a dime, way faster than Summer Group ever saw coming.

The livestream of the champion dog snubbing Celestial Dog Food and running straight to KrillJoy blew up online in seconds.

What really blindsided Claire was how all those individual buyers and small dealers, who’d been begging for Celestial Dog Food, suddenly switched gears.

Once they found out even champion dogs and legends like Shadow were eating KrillJoy, everyone jumped ship and rushed to the new brand.

Krilljoy wasn’t just unlimited by supply. It was crafted by the same top nutritionist.

Even though its price was higher than average premium dog food, next to Celestial Dog Food’s sky-high price and crazy purchase limits, KrillJoy actually seemed like a steal.

Honestly, Celestial Dog Food basically set KrillJoy up for success.

In no time, Celestial Dog Food’s booth was a ghost town, while KrillJoy orders flooded in like a blizzard.

“Ms. Summer! The International Canine Behavior Institute just sent an email. They’re officially canceling their order for 50,000 bags of Celestial Dog Food!”

“Ms. Summer! The Royal Kennel Alliance just called. They said our previous partnership deal needs to be

reevaluated!”

Bad news hit Summer Group like a tidal wave.

Chapter 259

With Krilljoy taking the market by storm, the cancellation emails for Celestial Dog Food started pouring in nonstop.

In the conference room, the shareholders looked utterly defeated, faces drained of all hope.

Back in the product development meeting, they’d unanimously shot down the Krill Algae Plan.

Now, that very idea had turned into the weapon that was stealing their market share.

Nina didn’t just turn their rejected plan into a smash hit. She crushed Celestial Dog Food beneath her feet and climbed straight to the top.

“If we’d just picked the substitute plan back then, we wouldn’t have had to shell out a fortune for that sky-high Celestial Algae!” one shareholder slammed his fist on the table, his voice cracking with regret.

Another shareholder squeezed his eyes shut, and his face twisted in pain. “We could’ve saved a ton, and our product would be the one blowing up right now. Nina wouldn’t even stand a chance!”

But now, it hit them, but it was too late.

They’d hoarded 25 tons of that overpriced Celestial Algae, and half of it was still gathering dust in the warehouse. They thought they were really about to choke on all this useless stock.

Nobody knew what to do next.

“Now that’s sorted!” Nina leaned back with a relaxed stretch in her office at Forest Isle Zoo. “With the steady cash flow from our dog food, the zoo expansion plan can finally move forward.”

The expansion was way pricier than she’d expected. Just going from 8 acres to 30 acres would cost over 20 million, so she had no choice but to take out a bank loan.
