The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 432

Later that day, as planned, Neera visited the house next door to administer treatment.

Jean went through the same procedure with the same level of pain. He lay in bed, eyes closed, silently bearing the pain.

After she removed the needles, he realized he no longer felt weak.

He wondered, "Does this mean my health is improving?"

Neera was cleaning the silver needles. She replied, "Yeah, a weaker reaction after the treatment indicates that your body is improving."

After putting away the needles, she warned him, "Don't celebrate just yet. Full recovery is still a long journey ahead. The current progress indicates that the treatment I prescribed is working. You should take better care of yourself, avoid overworking, and rest more."

Jean got dressed and nodded.

Neera sent him to take a medicinal bath.

There was a knock at the door. Ian and Katy stood outside the door.

Neera was surprised. She walked over and asked, "Why bring you here? Is there an emergency?"

It was too late for Katy to seek her out at Jean's house; it had to be something important.

Katy's face bore a serious look, and her tone was somber: "We have an issue."

She then explained the situation.

"Right now, our product's reputation is in danger. Things aren't looking good for us. Plus, with Sasha endorsing it, both our company and Sasha have trending searches!

Neera's expression turned solemn. She quickly pulled out her phone and browsed Twitter.

Sure enough, the top trending hashtag was #StartalesProductAllergy, closely followed by #SashaPromotesBadProducts.

She tapped on the trending hashtag and was met with a flood of negative comments about Startales.

"I never even knew about this brand before. How good could something that popped up overnight be?"

"This girl is clueless. You can't just pick up any random product to apply to your skin. Sigh, why should she go for an unknown brand?"

"Finally, someone has exposed this. I've been keeping an eye on this company, and the brand has always seemed sketchy to me. Just another trashy brand that is good at marketing. This company is disgusting!"

"They need to be thoroughly investigated. Startales have to reveal their ingredients. This shady business needs to be exposed and receive punishment!"

Neera frowned as she briefly skimmed through the comments. The situation was dire.

After Katy filled them in. Jean also checked on his phone. His expression was noticeably colder as he scrolled.

Ian pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, I have gone through these comments. It seems odd to me. All the comments are a deliberate attempt to tarnish the brand. It seemed orchestrated."

He paused, then added, "But there's no evidence. We don't know for sure."

Jean kept reading the comments, growing more suspicious. He concurred, "There's definitely something fishy here."

He paused for a moment, then added, "It looks like someone is jealous of Startales' success."

Neera shared the same thought. She revealed, "Recently, my company has taken up a significant share of the domestic skincare market."

Understanding the implication, Jean nodded and asked, "What's the plan now?"

Determined, Neera responded, "Staying quiet isn't an option. We need to address this head-on. I need to handle this."

She reminded Jean before leaving, "Get some rest. Don't forget to take your medicinal bath and go to bed early. I'm leaving now."

Jean stopped her. His gaze was gloomy.

He stated, "Our company has a collaboration. Star Entertainment Media has been promoting this product, and my company is connected to it. I'll have Larry assist you. He's an expert when it comes to the media."

Neera expressed her gratitude and hurried off.

Once she was gone, Jean turned to Ian and said, "Call Larry. Ask him to control public opinion and dig into whether there's a deliberate ploy at play."

There was a clear thought in his mind. Sonny was likely behind this.
