The Woman From Hell

The next day, I deliberately went and bought a newspaper. The headlines were indeed a clarification statement from Grant Corporation.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The content was pretty well drafted.

I arrived at Green Orange in a good mood and immediately started up my computer to go through the news. Sure enough, every account was sharing the news.

The counterfeit issue should pass with this, right?

The office door opened. Shannon had also arrived.

She eyed the newspaper on the table, her big eyes widening as she pointed to it and said, "Wanda, did you buy that?"

"Yes. It's fresh out of the oven. You can take a look at it."

"It's been so old since I bought newspapers." She picked them up, looked at them, and then pointed at the headline on the front page. "Listen here, many consumers have pointed out recently that there are counterfeits of Golden-O Face Cream which have caused skin problems. Our company will clarify this issue. There's a mark of authenticity printed on the bottom of Golden-O Face Creams. You can see the Grant Corporation logo under blue light. Consumers can verify the authenticity based on this. Our company will also file legal proceedings against the platforms and factories that sell these counterfeits. We hope that consumers will spread the word and avoid purchasing counterfeit goods."

After Shannon read it till the end, she looked at me. "So you guys already had a method of prevention. You already had the mark of authenticity but did not announce it. Was it just for today?"

"We wanted to announce it at first, but Theo thought it'd be better to keep it under wraps first. After what you said, it seems that he had predicted that this would happen and asked me not to spread the word for the time being. I'm not very clear about the specific reasons, though."

I trusted Theo's control of the market. He also had a lot of ideas that I did not understand.

"I'm starting to feel like I'm not suited to start a company."

I was not like Theo. If Green Orange were to truly grow bigger in the future and start attracting trouble from the jealous crowd, I was not sure I would be able to handle it well.

I was succumbing to my self-doubt when Shannon interrupted my thoughts. "If you're not suited for this, then who is? You have the big man Theo Grant to help you. Don't worry." "But I don't want to rely on him for everything. I'll learn more and make myself stronger as soon as possible." I did not want to just feel sorry for myself. Progress was key. "That's the Wanda I know."

"I'm going to pay Grant Corporation a visit." Saying that, I got up and walked out

"You just came to the office." Shannon's voice sounded behind me.

I wanted

same time. Nibel

him at the visit Theo and learn from tonitely visit Grant Corpora ule??

today.

Grant Corporation.

I arrived at Theo's office. He was standing in front of the windows, looking out with a coffee in hand. "What are you thinking, President Grant?"

Theo turned around when he heard my voice, a smile taking over his cold lips. "What's with the visit?"

I put down my bag and went to his

side. "I saw the news you arranged. Discussions on the internet are pretty good too. As long as this continyes, Grant Corporation's and Pristine Group's share prices will rise soon. So, congratulations to you."

"Are you really just here to congratulate me?"

He was sure was my husband and had immediately seen through my plans.

"There's a document in my drawer. You'll understand once you read it." Theo looked back at his seat. Document?

I went to his table, not quite

convinced. I pulled open the drawer he was referring to. There was a yellow folder in it. I picked it up and shook it at him. "Are you sure I can read it?"

"Of course." Theo nodded to me.

I unbuttoned the folder. Taking out the documents inside, I was shocked when I saw the contents...
