Not A Small-Town Girl
The reporters present reminded their photographers to capture the moment. Grace Groupâs products had always received positive reviews, but now, with such a scandal breaking out, it was undoubtedly major news that would cause a significant social stir.
The use of Grace Groupâs skincare products leading to facial disfigurement and their clothes causing skin diseases instantly made headlines and sparked rapid online buzz.
Some media outlets even went as far as starting live broadcasts on the spot. In no time, hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded the livestream. Seeing the overwhelming viewership, the broadcasters couldnât help but smile with satisfaction.
Seeing this media outlet reap the benefits from the live broadcast, other media outlets followed suit. Each live broadcast had hundreds of thousands of online viewers, with some sending tips and asking for close-ups of Grace Groupâs founder.
All the live broadcast cameras were focused on Danielle. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be devastating for Grace Group.
Danielle saw these media broadcasting live, but she merely glanced at them before looking at the victims with a calm expression as she said, "Tell me one by one. Which products? Evidence? Did you bring all the products?"
The disfigured girl took off her mask, revealing her entire festering face, and said, "I used the new skincare product you just launched. You advertised that it was for problematic skin. I saved up for several months to buy this set of skincare products, but my face ended up like this after using it for a week. I was so scared that I went to several hospitals, but all the doctors said my face was irreparable.
"This is my purchase receipt." The woman handed the receipt to Danielle.
She took the womanâs receipt, glanced at it, and said coldly to a senior executive beside her, "Verify the receipt information. I remember that our purchase records are permanently saved, right?â
Jason, who was standing beside them, said promptly, "Yes, Ms. Darling. Customer information is permanently recorded."
"Check out the order details, along with the payment record."
"Got it."
The disfigured womanâs face turned pale when she heard this. She couldnât help but say, "What are you getting at? Do you think Iâm lying to you, or do you suspect that Iâve never bought your products? Iâve asked for an explanation, but you keep stalling. Everyone online, youâve got to stand up for me...â
For a moment, netizens accused Grace Group of shirking responsibility and not facing the problem directly. The livestream was filled with curses.
[I canât believe I trust Grace Group so much. It turns out to be a heartless company.]
[The girlâs face has become like this, but they wonât give her an explanation. Theyâre still trying to find loopholes. I will never buy Grace Groupâs trashy products again.]
[Look at Grace Groupâs founder, dressed so glamorously with all those designer brands. Thatâs all the common peopleâs money! I curse Grace Group to go bankrupt soon...]
Danielle didnât miss the panic on the disfigured womanâs face. She realized that the woman was trying to use public opinion to pressure her. "Itâs precisely because we need to give you an explanation that we want to get to the bottom of this," she said.
It didnât take long for the senior executive to return with the receipt and documents. "Ms. Darling, weâve completed the verification," he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "This lady did purchase our product the day after the launch of our new product."
"Grace Group hasnât offered an apology yet and is still trying to slander me, suspecting that Iâm faking it," the woman said. "I was really lacking in judgment to choose Grace Group back then. Youâve got nothing to say now, right? The evidence is all there, and you still want to quibble. I really donât know why such a heartless company can still exist."
The netizens in the livestream also started cursing. There were all kinds of nasty remarks.
[I curse Grace Group to go bankrupt and get out of our country.]
[Heartless company, scamming the peopleâs money.]
