Inspired by Decker's stream, more and more people began sharing their own stories online. Some had been burned, some scalded, others had scars from surgeries to remove birthmarks. They had all lived in the shadows, but now, Caitlin had become their light.

Soon, Gonzales Holdings and Caitlin's name were trending at number one again. This time, a red "EXPLODING" tag appeared next to her name.

Seeing that Jade Glow Balm could truly eliminate scars, the people of Rosenthal, who had once scorned the product, were now green with envy. They flooded forums, desperately asking how they could get their hands on it.

[Why can't we buy Jade Glow Balm in Rosenthal? Ms. Gonzales, please look our way! We need this product too!]

[Seconded! Please export this amazing product to Rosenthal!]

[Why can't you buy it? Don't you know exactly why?]

[LOL, the boomerang came right back and hit you in the face!]

[LMAO, weren't you the ones saying not even a dog would want Jade Glow Balm?]

[Exactly! Where was this energy when you were trashing us?]

[Serves you right! The schadenfreude is delicious!]

[You want Jade Glow Balm now? In your dreams!]

[The regret is real!]

[A textbook case of public humiliation!]

[...]

In her office, Caitlin was reviewing documents when her assistant, Lemuel, burst

in, practically vibrating with excitement. "Ms. Gonzales!"

"What is it?" Caitlin asked, looking up calmly.

"You and the company are trending again!" Lemuel announced. "And this time, it's on the international charts! Also, Jade Glow Balm is sold out on every platform! The pre-orders have already surpassed a million units!"

And a million was just the start. The numbers were still climbing, with orders pouring in from all over the world. The skincare industry hadn't seen anything like this in a very long time. No it had never seen anything like this. It was a miracle. Not even LM's best-selling product had ever achieved such sales figures.

"And there's more! Rosenthal is begging us to export the balm to them! Everything

is happening exactly as you predicted!"

Lemuel expected Caitlin to share her

elation, but she merely offered a small, knowing smile. "Notify the finance department," she said. soft, even tone. "Give every employee in the company a twenty-thousand-dollar bonus this month."

Twenty thousand dollars! That was a huge amount of money.

Lemuel's eyes widened. "Ms.... Ms. Gonzales, are you sure you mean everyone?" Gonzales Holdings had over a thousand employees. A twenty- thousand-dollar bonus for each of them would total over twenty million dollars.

"Yes," Caitlin nodded. A victory like this was meant to be shared. It wasn't her achievement alone. She despised capitalists who only knew how to exploit their workers.

Lemuel could hardly breathe. "Does... does that include me?"

"It includes you," Caitlin confirmed with a nod.

The assistant couldn't help but jump in the air. "Yay! Long live Ms. Gonzales!" *Oh my god, how did I get the best boss in the world?* Even after leaving the office, Lemuel felt like she was walking on air.

When the news of the bonus spread, the entire company erupted in celebration. It wasn't a small sum; it was twenty thousand dollars! Enough to buy a decent new car. Soon, headlines about Gonzales

Holdings awarding a

twenty milion dollar bongs to its

employees splashed across every major financial news outlet.

Meanwhile, at LM headquarters, Mina sat in her office as her secretary delivered the report. Her face went rigid. "What? Say that again!"

The secretary lowered her head, her face a mask of anxiety, and forced herself to repeat the words. "Mr. Tyrell sent someone to collect the chairperson's seal. The new chairperson... is Freya Gonzales of Gonzales Holdings."

The world had always belonged to the strong. Mina had been chairperson because LM Group was number one. Now that Caitlin had crushed them, the title naturally passed to her.

After hearing the secretary's words, Mina's face turned ashen.

How could this be? She had assumed the Jade Glow Balm was just another overhyped product. It was impossible for a skincare item to actually heal scars.
