However, the pressure on White Dew had doubled, with Botanic hitting the one-hundred-thousand mark.

Karol had already dispatched someone to purchase Botanic's products.

She couldn't fathom that Botanic was genuinely that impressive, firmly believing it to be nothing more than Lilah's propaganda. Once she exposed Lilah, the hype over the products would settle down.

Seasoned formulators crafted the products from White Dew, and Karol herself had been hands-on in the development. They were top-notch skincare items, and she refused to believe they could be inferior to Botanic.

When the Botanic's products arrived, Karol delicately applied a small amount to her face.

Her eyes briefly flashed with an expression of impressed surprise.

Karol could feel the unique qualities the moment she dabbed the small amount of product onto her skin.

With her curiosity piqued, she took the products to the lab for analysis.

Although she couldn't decipher the exact proportions, she unveiled the ingredients, leaving everyone astonished. The formula specialist exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of this before? This ingredient is genuinely remarkable."

Under Karol's watchful eyes, the formulator cleared her throat and swiftly added, "While it's undoubtedly excellent, it's not as miraculous as the internet hysteria suggests. They're stretching the truth."

"You share that sentiment?" Karol lifted the products, remarking, "Seems like Lilah truly excels in marketing."

"No matter how adept she is at marketing, the reputation of the skincare products depends on factors such as quality and effectiveness. They are good, but not that great," the formulator said.

However, if Botanic also focused on researching proportions, that would be incredible. It would show that the company was committed to continuous improvement and innovation. Botanic's previous products were good but fell short of being extraordinary.

Karol nodded thoughtfully. "It's time to unveil the truth to everyone."

Karol had a distaste for brands that actively sought attention in this manner.

Companies dependent on gimmicks to lure customers risked disrupting the market and undermining those dedicated to product development.

Karol believed she advocated not just for herself but for companies valuing quality.

She reached out to several streamers, revealing Lilah's true nature.

In the evening, Gerard arrived to pick up Lilah and Jerrold.

During his holiday, Jerrold frequently visited Lilah's company, forging friendships with numerous employees. When he returned home each evening, he carried a sizable bag filled with snacks.

Lilah playfully pinched Jerrold's cheeks, teasing, “Looks like our baby's stealing my spotlight!"

She couldn't help but ponder how many admirers Jerrold might have as he grew up.

Jerrold grinned warmly. “I've inherited Mommy's charms."

“You are such a sweetheart!" With a smile, Lilah held Jerrold close in her arms, finding herself growing fonder of him with each passing moment.
