Chapter 1455

The media reporters at the scene captured the commotion, planning to stream it live on the official website.

But a single call from Bard, and the editors in the back room had no choice but to cut out every single shot of Arabella's face.

What the online audience ended up seeing was a version where several disfigured protesters caused a scene at the Ar-BI-Clear

Group headquarters, drawing a crowd of reporters and police.

Later, a representative from the Ar-Bl-Clear Group made an appearance, but with no clear shot of their face, just a silhouette, and

even their voice had been digitally altered.

They faced off for a while before moving to the employee cafeteria, where the representative still only showed their back, yet

seemed to be quite young.

Under their persuasion, the disfigured protesters one by one approached the police to give their statements, revealing the truth

behind the incident.

The woman with curly hair confessed, "The receipts for products purchased at your store werent mine. Someone advisedto buy

them at a high price from someone else, just to make this lie seem more believable, more robust to scrutiny".

She continued honestly, "My face was ruined by a conscienceless beautician at an unlicensed beauty salon. She recommended all

sorts of skincare products which caused my face to becallergic and swollen. She toldit was the skin's natural renewal

process, and | believed her. | spent over twenty thousand dollars there, and if that salon hadn't been shut down, | would have

never realized I'd been scammed."

The police officers compiled the statements and reported the latest developments to the online viewers.

These women, desperate due to their rapidly deteriorating faces, had accepted bribes to smear the Ar-BI-Clear Group.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, further investigation was needed.

Meanwhile, other officers verified that the disfigured protesters’ accounts matched their true experiences. The curly-haired woman

did indeed spend a fortune on counterfeit products at the beauty salon, ruining her face and, out of desperation to save it,

accepted a bribe to defthe Ar-BI-Clear Group.

Another woman with short hair had provided CCTV footage, claiming that using the Ar-BI-Clear Group's facial masks three times a

week at hhad damaged her skin. However, the footage merely showed her applying a mask, with no indication of the brand.

Yet another woman had taken the Ar-Bl-Clear Group's products to the authoritative testing facility Dawnstar CCT for analysis. The

results purportedly revealed multiple banned substances in the Ar-Bl-Clear Group's skincare line.

Following the trail, the police discovered that the CCT employee who conducted the test had been bribed with a hundred thousand

dollars to fake the results.

But the facility's official seal on the report was genuine.

The online onlookers never expected these women to go to such lengths to slander the Ar-Bl-Clear Group.

Then, the police uncovered that the person buying off the disfiqured protesters was from KT Skincare, a company that had once

been in competition with the Ar-BI-Clear Group.

Both had started as obscure, bottom-tier brands.

But as the Ar-Bl-Clear Group soared like a runaway stallion, garnering attention, KT remained stagnant.

The more the Ar-Bll-Clear Group was adored in Dawnstar, the more KT despised them, wishing nothing more than to drag them

down and take their place.

The public outcry was deafening when the police revealed this information, with the online community lashing out at KT, while

support for the Ar-BI-Clear Group soared.

This news becthe best advertisement for the Ar-Bl-Clear Group, and within an hour, all their product lines were completely

sold out.
