Ivy had been so scared because there were about a hundred people waiting by the elevator door for her.A hundred people weren't scary; what had terrified her was the fact that all of their faces had been severely disfigured.Some of their faces had what appeared to be burn scars, while some of their injuries were leaking pus. There were even people whose faces were still bleeding. Seeing their faces, Ivy was once again filled with immense guilt. Although Mitchell was the one behind the whole fiasco, all of these people would not have gotten hurt if she had seen through Mitchell's act and stopped him in time.Standing in front of them was the group's representative, Lena Lennington. Lena had been the one to contact all of the victims and arranged for them to be hospitalized.She was also the one who was always able to think of ways to deal with the people from Timbergale Corporation. In order to maximize their gains, everyone acknowledged her as their representative.Lena was an
Ivy never thought that the negotiations would become so emotional, despite not even taking out their compensation contract yet."You've all misunderstood me and the company. Our company really wants to discuss the terms of the compensation with you."Lena stood out and said sarcastically, "Alright then. Why don't you pay me my money right now."At the mention of money, Ivy immediately remembered the more important task at stake, healing all of the victims' faces.She quickly turned to Frederick and asked for a bottle of ointment. She said, "Everyone, I would like you all to take a look at the ointment in my hands. "This is a special treatment that our company has produced for all of you. Once you use the ointment, your face will heal and return back to normal soon."Although Ivy had not witnessed the effects of the ointment herself, she trusted Frederick.Frederick had told her that the ointment would allow their faces to heal and return to their original state. So, that is def
Ivy covered her mouth in shock when she saw her reflection in the mirror.On the other hand, Frederick smiled faintly. Other than healing the allergies and rotting caused by the cosmetic products, his ointment also had a brightening effect.Frederick quickly turned to the crowd and said, "Not only is our ointment able to heal all of your faces, but your skin will also turn soft and dewy after continuous use of our ointment. Even your wrinkles and spots will also disappear."Hearing Frederick's words, the crowd felt eager to try the ointment. Not only would they be able to heal their faces, but they would also have much better skin than they'd had before.Where could they ever find such a great product?Someone gathered their courage and said with uncertainty, "I'll try it."Ivy was ecstatic. She was about to hand the ointment over when someone snatched away the ointment in her hands.Lena turned to that person and reprimanded them. "Do you remember what you promised me? "As yo
Ivy hesitated momentarily after hearing Lena's words before getting down on her knees and kneeling before the crowd.The crowd was immediately shocked by the scene before them. After all, Timbergale Corporation was a well-known company. They never thought the director of such a well-known company would actually kneel before them.Ivy knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "I know I won't be able to pay you back for the harm you've all endured just by kneeling here. But I have never thought of running away from my responsibilities. "The company has taken out all of our funds to compensate each and every one of you, and the company is currently facing bankruptcy."But we are also victims in this situation. Someone had swapped our ingredients with bad-quality herbs, causing this entire mess. So, I would like to sincerely beg each and every one of you to give our ointment a chance!"Hearing Ivy's sincere tone, even the angriest and most stone-hearted ones had begun to waver.People
While Frederick was busy thinking, Ivy had already picked up the ointment with trembling hands.She was willing to sacrifice herself as she thought of her best friend, Anya, and the hundred million dollars.Ivy closed her eyes and began to rub the cosmetic product over her face.Perhaps from today onward, she would have to say goodbye to her appearance and become disfigured, just like the group of people before her.Any ordinary person would not be able to accept it, but Ivy had no regretsAs long as she had the chance to fix the mess and lessen the company's financial burden, she was more than willing to risk it, even if it meant that her face would be permanently disfigured.Ivy's actions shocked Lena. Lena never expected Ivy to actually use the cosmetic products on her face.A number of people looked away, unable to bear the sight of tears streaming down Ivy's face.Ivy understood more than anyone present that her face would begin to rot soon after using it.As seconds pass
Lena just turned to the crowd and said coldly, "Can't you all understand what I'm saying? Have you forgotten how you felt when you hid at home, refusing to go outside due to your face? "Tell me, who was the one who found each and every one of you and gathered you all? Who was the one who had helped you maximize your benefits as compensation from Timbergale Corporation?"The crowd slowly fell silent as Lena's words rang out in the air. They had to admit that they didn't even have the courage to leave their houses when their faces had started to rot, let alone sue Timbergale Corporation.Lena had come to them with her red-splotched face. She had persuaded and encouraged them, allowing them to have the courage to stand up for themselves.Unknowingly, Lena had slowly turned into a leader figure in all of their hearts, gaining their trust.Seeing that the crowd had turned quiet, Lena nodded in satisfaction. Then, she turned to Ivy for confirmation."Did you produce this special herba
Lena said with a smile, "If your ointment doesn't work, then you'll have to compensate everyone with two million dollars each!"Hearing what she had said, Ivy looked like she was put in a spot. Even if everyone were to get a million each, that would be a hundred million in total for all hundred people. That was everything the company had.If they had to pay each person two million instead, that would mean they had to pay a total of 200 million. There was no way the company could afford that!At that moment, Lena hurriedly added, "Didn't you say that the ointment would definitely work? If that's the case, what are you afraid of?"When Ivy heard that, she thought it made sense as well. She had tried the ointment herself before, and she was certain that there wouldn't be any issue at all!So, she agreed through gritted teeth, "Alright, it's a deal. If the ointment doesn't work, we'll compensate everyone with two million dollars each. However, if it does cure your faces, then we'll ju
When Ivy heard what Frederick said, it felt like she had found her last glimmer of hope. She grabbed his arm and excitedly asked, "What do you have in mind?"He calmly said, "Let's pay her the two million dollars!"When she heard his so-called idea, she angrily looked at him, wondering what kind of stupid idea that was. If they were really going to pay each person two million dollars, the total would be 200 million dollars instead of 100 million. She wouldn't even dare to see Anya anymore!"You…"Ivy was furious. All they had to do was compensate the victims with a hundred million dollars in the beginning. However, the total doubled because she listened to him.However, Frederick wasn't anxious at all. Instead, he just smiled. "Don't you think it's weird how the ointment works on your face but has no effect at all when it's on her face?"When Ivy heard that, she was stunned, thinking how that was true. She couldn't help wondering why that was the case. She only dared to promise t
