“If everyone thinks this isn’t enough proof, then let me show you something really good.” Audrey puffed up a video.
The video showed Ruby talking to a doctor about how to fix her skin problems. “Did you contact that doctor in Kavantia for me? I need surgery
I post this video, or my face is going to fall apart completely.”
“I warned you that your skin can’t handle any skincare products right now. What exactly did you use that made your face deteriorate to far? the doctor asked.
Ruby snorted, “I didn’t use anything. I just put on some Eclat patches when I was filming the video. Those things stung like hell the moment i put them on, and when I took them off, my skin was all red and swollen.
“They’re nothing compared to Lunessé masks. If it wasn’t for the tens of thousands in advertising money, I never would have trashed Lunescé. I’m an actress. My face is how I make a living.”
The doctor applied ointment to her face while asking, “You said Lunessé masks work well, so why is your face having an allergic reaction?”
Ruby didn’t want to discuss this, but hiding medical information from her doctor would be irresponsible. Her face looked much better now because she was on strong medication, but once she stopped, it would be worse than before.
After thinking for a moment, Ruby said, “Lunessé masks have been sold out for ages. only used one box and sold the other two boxes to friends at a high price.
“My previous allergic reaction was because Abby took me to get laser skin resurfacing done. Then, when my face got messed up, she asked me to trash the Lunessé masks.”
‘If I had known they were setting me up, I definitely wouldn’t have done it,‘ Ruby thought. Audrey’s commission wasn’t that high, but when she didn’t have any acting jobs, letting her film short dramas to stay relevant was actually pretty good.
The doctor’s hands paused. “Abby? From Eclat?”
The video stopped there. Anyone in the livestream with half a brain could see that Ruby had been bought off by another company. They had kindly taken her for beauty treatments, and after her face got damaged, they paid her to trash Lunessé’s reputation.
[I knew something was off, but nobody listened to me. Lunessé face masks have been sold out for ages, so where did she get her purchase records from?]
[I’ve been using Lunessé masks forever and they work amazing. My skin got two shades lighter.]
[Did she just say Eclat? I bought from them today. They’re doing buy one get three free, but it’s still more expensive than Lunessé. What a scam.]
[This is disgusting. They’re jealous that Lunessé masks sell so well, so they pulled this stunt. I threw away all my masks without even using them. I’m going to make her pay me back.]
The angry netizens split into two groups. Some stormed Eclat’s livestream while others flooded Ruby’s account with curses.
“Jocelyn, our livestream comments are getting spammed by haters!” Abby was monitoring the data backstage when she saw mas

of users flooding.
At first, she was excited, thinking the traffic they’d bought had finally kicked in. But then the users started cursing them out, calling them scammers and accusing them of unfair competition.
Abby had her team set up keyword filters, but the users just switched to different curse words, For every angry user they kicked out, ten more poured in, completely disrupting the host’s product presentation.
Jocelyn came out of the break room and stared at the livestream filled with hate comments, completely confused about what had gone wrong. She quickly figured out the problem from the viewers‘ messages.

Audrey had started her own livestream and presented tons of evidence. She didn’t just prove that Luiwesad face masks were legitimate. She also expraed how Eclat had paid Ruby to give false testimony.
Jocelyn immediately clicked into Lunesse Skincare’s livestream.
Audrey’s delicate face appeared right in front of her. Whether it was from using Lunessé masks or having her beauty filter cranked up, her skin loved absolutely perfect. It was tight, dewy, and glowing.
Jocelyn gripped her phone screen hard and accidentally hit the like button.
When Audrey saw that Eclat had liked her stream, she immediately had her staff screenshot it and display it on the livestream.
The viewers went crazy laughing, and some kind souls ran over to Eclat’s stream just to mock them.
“I take full legal responsibility for everything I’ve said today, and I will pursue anyone who slanders or defames Lunessé masks to the very end.” Audray declared with unwavering determination. “Lunesse face cream is launching soon. Pre–orders today get 15 percent off. Today only.”
Audrey stood up and left the frame while a professional host took over to explain the different types of creams and their effects.
Lunesse’s official livestream had accomplished something incredible on their very first broadcast. They’d not only proven their products were safe but had also completely humiliated their competitors.
Fans who had been eagerly waiting for Lunessé face masks started placing orders like crazy. Sales hit record highs, including their face creams.
Meanwhile, Eclat’s livestream got hit so hard by angry users that they had to shut down early.
Jocelyn smashed her cup against the monitor. Coffee splashed all over the circuit board and the screen went completely black. “Damn it. It’s so annoying!‘ she thought.
Audrey had evidence the whole time, but she didn’t release it early or late. She waited until the exact day Jocelyn’s products launched and after she’d blown a fortune on advertising. +
Getting hit with this disaster on day one meant all the money Jocelyn had worked so hard to raise had gone straight down the drain.
“Jocelyn, the platform is calling.” Abby held up her phone, her face pale as a sheet.
Selling on the official livestream platform required putting down a deposit upfront. Now that they were getting hit with quality complaints, not only would they lose the deposit but they’d face penalties too.
Jocelyn was still burning with rage but had to keep it together to handle the call. Before she could even pick up that phone, her own cell started ringing.
“Jocelyn, Audrey’s suing me! When are you getting me to Kavantia? If I don’t leave soon, it’ll be too late.” Ruby was panicking hard. She never expected Audrey to have solid evidence that could nail her for twisting the truth.
“You’ve got some nerve calling me. If you hadn’t fed that doctor a bunch of lies, how could she have gotten that evidence? You idiot, do you have any idea how much money you’ve cost me?” Jocelyn snapped.
‘Take her to Kavantia for beauty treatments?‘ Jocelyn thought. She was so furious she could’ve torn Ruby apart and it still wouldn’t cool her rage.
Jocelyn hung up and took a deep breath before answering the livestream platform’s call. They chewed her out like she was nobody, and all she could do was nod and grovel. After finally appeasing those corporate overlords, Abby told her that Audrey was suing her.
With nowhere to vent her fury, Jocelyn turned around and kicked over the livestream equipment. The studio she’d spent a fortune building was now a complete wreck.
After all the controversy, Lunessé face masks saw their sales skyrocket. Their brightening cream also experienced explosive demand.
Lucia only found out that Lunesse was Audrey’s brand after watching her livestream. She rushed over to Hillcrest Gardens, where Audrey was trying on wedding dresses.

The designer was personally adjusting the waist for her. Audrey caught Lucia’s envious and resentful expression in the mirror, sed a motor spread across her face.
“Youth really is wonderful.” Lucia walked over with a fake smile, her eyes glued to the diamonds on the dress hem. She couldn’t look away, 7 jan dilingk have good timing. Never got the chance to wear such a beautiful wedding dress.”
‘Yann is way too generous with her,‘ Lucia thought. ‘Does a woman getting married for the second time really need such an expensive wedding dreven
“You want to wear one?” Audrey pointed to another wedding dress nearby. “Why don’t you get married again? I’ll pay for your dress
