"We don't have time for you to investigate. Our skin is festering now, and you must compensate to us today."

White Fox had an angry look on her face as she continued, "Everyone who shops at Julia's are young girls. What if we get scars? How will you take responsibility?"

Ella was surprised by the ferocity of White Fox.

It would truly be a waste if White Fox did not become an actress.

It seems that once Freya was here, she could suggest sending White Fox to the entertainment industry. She might even become an award-winning actress.

Her acting skills were simply impeccable.

"So what do you want to do?"

Ella crossed her arms, playing along with their act.

White Fox walked a few steps closer, full of anger, and said, "I want Julia herself to come out, personally apologize to all of us consumers, compensate all of us for medical expenses, and then get the store out of Solterra!"

Wow, playing hard to get? Fine.

Ella scratched her nose. "Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, the Julia store will not bear any blame. If you want to sue, then go ahead, the Julia brand will not bear false accusations for no reason."

With that, Ella left with his hands in his pockets.

White Fox angrily said, "Don't walk away. You have caused a lot of harm and yet dare to be so arrogant. Who gave you the audacity?"

Ella completely ignored her.

White Fox was furious and shouted, "Friends, let's go and sue them."

...

Selena's studio.

Selena jumped up from the couch in excitement, unable to hide the joy on her face, "What did you say? Those medicines really worked, causing consumers' skin to ulcerate?"

"There's no mistake. I saw it with my own eyes. Just now a group of people caused a scene at the Julia store. The person in charge there denied any quality issues, and the consumers have angrily gone to the court to sue them."

"Haha!" Selena laughed triumphantly. "Very good. As long as the reputation of the Julia brand is damaged, Julia will be disqualified from the international design competition. I want to be the first. What's so difficult about that?"

"Selena, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it," said the voice over the phone.

"Go ahead."

"I think you should publicize this matter widely, spend some money to make it go viral, hire a group of internet users to comment, saying that the Julia brand uses unethical fabrics to deceive customers, with suspicions of financial misconduct. I guarantee that once this goes viral, everyone will boycott the Julia brand, and Julia's reputation will be tarnished. When customers turn away, you can then focus on creating new designs to attract attention and surely make a profit."

Selena clenched her phone, feeling uncontrollable joy inside.

"I was just worried about how to restore my reputation, and you came up with such an idea. Okay, I certainly did not misjudge you, you are truly a rare talent. When this is settled, I will definitely reward you."

"As long as you don’t forget what she promised me, I will be loyal to you."

"Don't worry. I remember. You keep an eye on the Julia store for me, and immediately inform me of any developments."

"Okay."

After ending the call, Lily entered in a panic.

Her complexion was very bad, with purple bags under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept for the past few days.

"Selena, how could you deceive me? You clearly said those medicines would only cause itching, but you did not mention they could make the skin rot."

Since Lily took a day off and went home that day, she had been feeling uneasy.

On one hand, she was worried about the safety of her child and mother-in-law, but she also hoped that Julia's store would not encounter any trouble.

These days, she had been tormented by nightmares day and night, and she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

However, just an hour ago, something unexpected happened.

A group of customers went to Julia's store to cause a disturbance, and all of them experienced skin sores, some of which had even spread to their faces.

Lily was hiding nearby watching at that time, feeling extremely anxious.

After the group left, she quickly went to find Selena.

"What did I deceive you about? The medicine does cause itching in the initial stage, but scratching it will only make it itch more, eventually leading to skin breakdown. What's the big deal?"

Lily looked at her incredulously and angrily said, "But if they fester like that, it will ruin their appearance."

"It's not you who will be ruined. Why are you so anxious?" Selena impatiently scolded her. "There's nothing to worry about. Just go quickly. Don't cry in front of me. It makes me feel unlucky."

"What about my family? I did as you wished, are you going to keep your promise and release them?"

Lily's heart was filled with guilt.

Even though she did not plan or calculate this, she became Selena's tool for murder.

Not only did she harm Julia's store, but she also hurt so many consumers.

Her conscience was being condemned every second.

"Oh, I already released them a couple of days ago. Didn't they come home?" Selena lit a cigarette and casually said.

"What are you saying, two days ago?"

Lily's face was full of disbelief.

"Okay. I have released them. Check if they're home. Maybe they're just sitting there."

Selena was not in the mood for small talk right now.

Two days ago, the oldest and youngest of her family suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and despite sending people out to look for them, they were not found.

Worried that Lily would not listen, she did not mention it to anyone.

She was now asking for the two hostages to be returned. As there was no one to hand over, so she can only come up with a random excuse to deceive her.

Anyway, since they were not with her anymore, it was no longer her concern.

"It's impossible. They know the way back home. If you released them two days ago, they wouldn't have failed to return." Lily's emotions rise, choking her up. "I beg you, Selena, please return the child to me."

"I said, they are not here with me. Do your ears even work?"

Selena impatiently replied.

Lily felt back in a corner and clenched her fists as she said, "Selena, since you are untrustworthy, don't blame me for being heartless!"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to turn myself in to the police. If you don't let me live well, I won't let you have an easy life either."

With that, Lily turned around and was about to leave.

"Haha..."

Selena's laughter came from behind. "Lily, you are too naive. Even if you turn yourself in, so what? Do you have any evidence?"

"And if you end up in jail, what will happen to your 80-year-old grandmother and your 8-year-old son? No one will take care of them in the future. They will probably just wait to die at home."

Upon hearing this, Lily's footsteps paused.

She turned around, tightly clenched her fists, and stared fiercely at Selena!

Then, as if she had gone mad, she pounced on her.

"I'll fight you!"

Selena did not expect the usually obedient and well-behaved Lily to be so fiery.
