As for Effie, she was stuck as the face of the disgraced Botanic.
This was a clear divide.
When the promo poster dropped, Tess' fans rejoiced, slamming Effie and Botanic in the comments.
A week before the new product launch, White Dew's promo flooded the Internet and streets.
Krista, who hadn't dared show face, went live, apologizing for her past stupidity.
Non-fans still blamed her but her supporters felt sorry for her.
To them, Krista was just a dream-chaser in showbiz with no support.
Meanwhile, Effie, with everything, ruthlessly continued to vie for the crown.
Krista's apology was heartfelt-she even knelt down.
Even those who despised Krista had a change of heart.
Amidst tears, Krista shouldered the blame.
Finally, the cursing ceased.
She couldn't sing anymore as the price for her mistake. Why the continued harshness?
Then, someone switched gears.
"I gotta say, Krista's got amazing skin. She must have cried buckets but her complexion has stayed cool and pure. How'd she pull that off?"
“I've got dry, sensitive skin. Skip the moisturizer and my face turns red and parched. Krista used to be in the same boat. How'd she fix it?"
"Curious about Krista's skincare routine now. Her skin's looking better for sure."
The girls were genuinely interested. They had witnessed Krista's skin transform.
Who wouldn't want a flawless face?
With the cursing halted, Krista faced her computer and said, "Thanks for forgiving me. Even if singing's off the table, I'll keep composing. I won't give up. Curious about my skincare routine? I'm using a new product from a certain company hitting the market soon."
Someone had already caught on.
“Is it White Dew?"
“White Dew's stuff seems top-notch."
“Is she plugging their products?"
