For the sake of beauty, Ivy was willing to do anything. What was another five days?

She paused, then added, "Besides, Miss Gonzales doesn't seem like the type to lie. The last person who didn't listen to her advice is already on death row. I'm going to take her word for it!"

The person on death row was, of course, Smith.

Leo was stunned. He couldn't believe that someone as foolish as Ivy actually existed.

He forced a smile. "Alright, alright, that's fine. Five days isn't a long time, anyway." Turning to the driver in the front seat, he said, "Hanley, let's go back home."

"Yes, Mr. Barrett."

The driver immediately made a U-turn.

Meanwhile, online:

[After watching Ms. Gonzales's response, I feel so much more relieved!]

[I'm taking her advice. If she says to wait five more days, I'll wait five more days!]

[I still have faith in her abilities. After all, she's the one who took down Smith.] [Go, Ms. Gonzales!]

[I'll be back in five days to see what happens.]

[Five days will fly by. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. But if there's no improvement after five days, or if it gets worse, I'm reporting this to the regulatory authorities.]

[Isn't that also the day her bet expires? I'm so excited! Who's going to get their face slapped?]

[Can't wait!]

[If this Jade Glow Balm really works, Ms. Gonzales will be a living goddess to us.]

[...]

Caitlin's response didn't just trend domestically; it also made its way to international forums, along with the latest photos from Jade Glow Balm users.

[My God, this toxic cream has ruined their skin, and they still believe their 'Miss Gonzales'? Are they insane? Are they actually okay?]

[That skin looks like it's about to necrotize.]

[It's not just necrosis. In serious cases, it could lead to infection and become life- threatening.]

[And this is the poison they want to use to challenge our LM for the top spot?]

[How can the people of Eldermere be so stupid?]

[I wouldn't use that stuff if you paid me a hundred million!]

[Looks like Eldermere is about to have another Smith incident on their hands.]

[I never thought Freya would become the next Smith.]

[She deserves it!]

[Can't wait to watch the show in five days!]

[I bet Freya gets the death penalty too. This is just as bad as the Smith scandal, if not worse.]

After all, not everyone has epilepsy, but almost everyone uses skincare. What's more, Caitlin had falsely advertised the balm's whitening and scar-removing properties, meaning the number of victims in Eldermere was immense.

[Almost there, almost there! Five days will pass in a flash! We'll get to see Freya

get what she deserve

Gontent

[I hope they livestream her downfall.]

[I heard the Jade Glow Balm is currently applying for export to Rosenthal. Seriously? They have the nerve to export this face melting garbage?]

[Please, don't bring that poison to Rosenthal!]

[The import department better do its job!]

[We're not going to fall for Freya's scam.]

[...]

A wave of opposition to Jade Glow Balm swept through Rosenthal.

At Gonzales Holdings, Caitlin sat calmly in her office.
