Chapter 1049: Chapter 1076

“Let’s wait and see. I wonder how Seet Group will fix this mess.”

After watching the reporters leave the press conference, John hurried to the president’s office. As he made his way there, he sighed, wondering what Evan would do to Nina.

Meanwhile, in the president’s office, Nina stood still with her head hung. Once in a while, she sneaked a glance at her father. Evan’s icy demeanor frightened her.

The girl then turned to look at Nicole, whose expression was also grim. In her eyes were upset, conflict, and disappointment.

At that moment, Nina realized what was going on. Her scripted act had backfired.

“Do you know what you’ve done wrong?” A voice with a glacial tone echoed in the room. It was Evan who spoke.

Nina lifted her head to look at him and replied, “Daddy, it’s common for the professionals in the live broadcasting industry to follow a script. I’m just following the rules.”

A script?

“This is a scam! Were you really planning to carry out those promises? Or were those only words to persuade them to buy your product?”

After a moment of rumination, Nina realized that she had no answer to that question. Hence, she fell silent.

“Speak!” her father roared.

HIs loud and stern tone stunned Nina, and Nicole’s heart skipped a beat. His volume even shocked John, who had just entered the room.

Mr. Seet has really lost his temper at Nina.

John held his breath and quietly walked beside Nicole.

Nina’s heart was racing. With the words of the social media influencer in her heart, she responded, “Daddy, this is just a promise. I won’t actually give them a refund! The company won’t suffer any loss that way.”

“You won’t be giving them refunds? So you were planning to break your promises? How will you answer the customers when they ask you about it? Furthermore, what will you do when the ill-intentioned people break the product to get the exorbitant refund you’ve promised?”

Hearing Evan’s angry reprimand, Nina answered, “Daddy, I’ve thought about this before. Those sold after today won’t be refunded. There are many reasons we can use. When that happens, the customer service will have a way.”

Nicole sighed. “What were you planning to say if it doesn’t change the consumer’s face like what you claim it’ll do?”

“If it doesn’t change their faces, it’s because their faces weren’t compatible. It has nothing to do with the product.”

“Rubbish!”

Evan was like an enraged lion as he grabbed the limited-edition mug and threw it by Nina’s feet.

Crash! Glass fragments scattered everywhere as water spilled across the floor. The poor girl’s heart nearly escaped her chest. Close call! Any closer, and it would’ve hit my leg. However, Nina’s clothes were now wet with water stains.

John let out a shaky breath. Ms. Nina really has to think about her words before she speaks. No wonder Mr. Seet is always mad at her.

Noticing the situation turning bad, Nicole walked to Evan and whispered, “Don’t shout. You’ll scare her. Reason with her instead. She’ll understand and know she’s in the wrong soon.”

Evan lowered his eyes. Looking at Nicole’s anxious and upset expression, he tried his best to tamp down the emotions that nearly overwhelmed him.

Realizing his efforts, the woman grabbed his hand. “Let me. I’ll talk to her.”

She then walked to Nina and tried her best to sound calm. “Nina, do you know you’re doing the wrong things? If you do this, it’ll make those who believe in you disappointed. You’re destroying your own business foundation. Do you really want to ruin your future like this?”

Nina raised her head to cast a fearful glance at Nicole. “Mommy, I know it’s wrong to do this, but that’s what everyone all does. If I don’t do this, I’m afraid my fans won’t believe in me. I’m scared I won’t sell well at the launch of my products. If that happens, I’ll embarrass the company, Mommy, and Daddy.”

Nicole let out a sigh. “Even if you can’t sell a single item out today, Daddy and I won’t find it embarrassing. If you’re honest and the product is good, people will buy it. If they like it, they’ll tell others to buy it too. Rather than making false advertisements, why don’t you focus on improving the quality of the product instead? The talented ones will shine eventually.”
