Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 484

"You…"

Julia's eyes widened in fury, a flicker of anger flashing through them. She bit her lower lip, seething.

She hadn't expected this.

Hayden had caught her off guard.

The products he had just exposed were all purchased and sold under the Sterling family's business. As long as they met the regulations, there was no food safety risk.

She had eaten these flower cakes before, and they tasted good. But she had never realized just how many additives were in them.

"Say something. Why aren't you talking now?" Hayden sneered, his voice laced with mockery.

Julia remained silent. She knew she had no ground to stand on. If she kept arguing, she might accidentally reveal her Sterling family ties.

Hayden let out a chuckle, his eyes filled with disdain. Then, he turned away from her, addressing the crowd instead.

"Everyone, I ask you to trust in our traditional methods. Flower cakes have short shelf lives, and that's something everyone in Stonybrook knows.

"Our Twilight Cakes are no different. A small amount of preservatives helps extend their shelf life, allowing people in neighboring provinces to enjoy them. Isn't that a good thing?

"But…" His voice sharpened, cutting through the murmurs. "If you want completely natural, additive-free Twilight Cakes, that's possible too!

"The catch is that they'll be exclusive to our province, with a shelf life of just seven days. What do you all think? Would you be okay with that?"

The moment his words landed, the crowd erupted into cheers.

The excitement was deafening. Voices overlapped as people praised the idea.

"This is amazing! He really is Stonybrook's golden boy. Who else could come up with something like this?"

"Yeah! If it's exclusive to our province, we get the freshest Twilight Cakes!"

"He's really spoiling the locals with this kind of VIP treatment! I feel so proud to be from Stonybrook!"

"Heh! I wonder how jealous people from other places will be when they hear about this!"
