After busy days, Isabella finally had a break on the weekend. She agreed when invited out for a meal.
They opted for a private room.
Isabella mentioned that since she maintained a cordial relationship with Jada, she needed to keep her friendship with Susan discreet.
Susan arrived with Dane. When Isabella showed up, she noticed Dane holding Susan’s hand. Susan quickly let go of Dane’s hand in a shy manner as soon as she saw Isabella.
Smiling, Isabella waved and said, “Don’t mind me.” Isabella was also pleased for the happiness between her friend and her brother.
Susan remained a bit shy. Dane inquired, “Is Andrew not coming?”
“It seems he’s been very busy lately,” Isabella replied.
“How are things between you and Andrew?” Susan asked with concern. “I heard that Jada visited the Klein Group for Andrew and even gave him a set of Migge Skincare products.”
“I know, but he chose not to use them.” Isabella smiled as she looked at Susan and Dane. “How have you been lately?”
“Good,” Dane replied, giving Susan a warm smile. “We’re planning to get engaged.”
“When?” Isabella asked, surprised.
“Next month.”
Susan seemed a bit hesitant but added, “We haven’t set a specific date yet. I’ll let you know once we decide.”
“Okay, Mom will be thrilled to hear about it,” Isabella said, genuinely happy for them.
They then shared a meal. These occasional gatherings made Isabella feel relaxed and joyful. Later, they strolled through a nearby shopping mall, allowing Isabella to check out the marketing scene. Dane ran into a business partner and needed to discuss work, so he handed Susan a credit card and said, “Feel free to buy whatever you like with this.”
Susan hesitated to take it, so Isabella quickly placed it in her hand, saying, “You’re about to be married. There’s no need to be shy!” Susan blushed.
“Where should we go?” Isabella asked.
“Let’s head to the Natural Beauty store,” Susan suggested. They both had the same idea.
The Natural Beauty store was quiet, with only a few customers. While browsing, they spotted someone they knew. It was Josie—dressed in a new Chanel outfit. Josie looked down at the skincare products with disdain. A saleswoman approached to help, but Josie said, “These products are too cheap for my taste.” The saleswoman looked awkward. “Thanks. Your opinion is noted.”
This made the other customers in the store start to hesitate.
“Have you ever considered how it reflects on you when you call other products cheap?” a cool voice said.
Josie scowled, and upon spotting Isabella and Susan approaching, she sneered dismissively. “Oh, it’s you. Since you developed these products, you wouldn’t find them cheap. But from a customer’s perspective, I think they are. Why shouldn’t I say so?”
Josie’s arrogance was palpable! Susan was visibly upset but responded calmly. “You’re free to express your opinion. However, it only shows your willingness to hurt others without a second thought and your lack of empathy. That kind of behavior is what’s truly cheap and harmful to society.”
“You—” Josie clenched her teeth and said, “Don’t act so high and mighty. Your products are worthless!” Thinking about her product sales, Josie crossed her arms and said, “Your sales are just one-tenth of ours, Isabella. Haven’t you noticed what’s wrong?”
“Everyone is perfect. It’s not a big deal. I just need to stay true to myself.”
“Just a few days ago, you were outselling us. But now, our new products are dominating yours. Haven’t you figured out why? If you had chosen Jada instead of Susan, things might have been different.” Josie raised an eyebrow. “It’s no wonder nobody likes Susan. She really lacks capability.”
Susan’s expression turned stern. “Josie, what’s wrong with you?”
“It’s not just my opinion; it’s the truth. Susan, don’t you feel guilty for dragging Isabella down? What can you do besides attract men?” Josie was bitter, recalling how Susan had won over the man she liked.
“It’s only the beginning. How can you judge the outcome already? Your view is too shallow,” Isabella said firmly. “If you’re not here to shop, please leave. Don’t disturb our customers!”
At that moment, everyone understood that Josie was representing Migge Skincare. Migge Skincare was distasteful. Even though their products sold well, they shouldn’t send someone to denigrate competitors.
“Leave now. You are not welcome!”
“That’s right. Such rudeness from Migge Skincare!”
“You should go back to Migge Skincare. Don’t come to Natural Beauty just to upset us!”
The other customers all agreed that Josie was extremely bothersome.
Josie was unprepared for the ridicule. She clenched her teeth and shot Susan a fierce glare.
As she left, she encountered Dane, whom she hadn’t seen in a long while. Her eyes immediately brightened.
She felt sad, thinking how long it had been since she last saw Dane.
Dane ignored her completely and walked straight into the store to join Susan and Isabella in conversation. Watching the three, Josie felt utterly excluded. She clenched her fists and felt a surge of injustice. She wondered why she couldn’t measure up to Susan. When the three came out, Josie approached Dane and blurted out, “Dane, Susan doesn’t deserve you at all!”
“Josie, I’m not in the mood for nonsense. If you want to instigate trouble, you should leave!” Dane snapped.
Josie was stunned. It was the first time she had been shouted at like this. Seconds later, tears streamed down her face.
“Dane… I’m just looking out for you. Susan is a failure. You can see their new products aren’t selling well, while ours are flying off the shelves,” she said, expressing her feelings. “Susan can’t help you in any way.”
“I don’t need her help. I just need her by my side.” Holding Susan’s hand, Dane said tenderly, “We’re getting married soon. I care about your reputation, so stop bothering Susan.”
Josie didn’t know how to stop Dane anymore. She was utterly shocked. She had assumed Dane was merely toying with Susan and that once he saw Susan’s lack of utility, he would leave her. But to Josie’s surprise, Dane was genuinely committed to Susan. They were planning to get married. Now, what was she to do?
Josie had turned down numerous suitors over the years, holding out for Dane because she believed he was the only one worthy of her. And now, he was no longer available.
Slowly regaining her composure, Josie glared at Susan’s departing figure, her eyes burning with intense loathing. Susan… Josie swore she wouldn’t let her get away with this!
After dropping Susan off, Dane and Isabella headed home as well.
Before heading to bed, Isabella spoke with Andrew on the phone while checking on Natural Beauty’s sales. Sales of Natural Beauty products were thriving, consistently climbing. It was the fourth day, and Migge Skincare’s sales had plummeted from one hundred thousand on the first day to just seventy thousand daily. With most customers having received their products by now, numerous reviews had begun to surface online. Jada had likely invested heavily in influencers, as many were singing praises for Migge Skincare.
Yet, a few influencers were also endorsing Natural Beauty. But Isabella noticed something intriguing. Someone had captured the incident where Josie had made a spectacle at the Natural Beauty store and uploaded it online. It appeared the videographer was an up-and-coming influencer, and the incident had garnered significant attention.
“So that is Josie. I went to the Natural Beauty store this afternoon to buy skincare products and intended to review them. But then I saw this person in the store, slamming Natural Beauty’s products as garbage. I was puzzled at first, but then I realized she was the owner of Migge Skincare. Oh my gosh, the owner of Migge Skincare has no class. After I used Natural Beauty products, I found the fragrance enticing. It is so soothing and pleasant. It definitely feels more luxurious than Migge Skincare. You all should try it!”
The comment section was buzzing.
“Is Josie really that tacky? I’ve completely lost interest in Migge Skincare now.”
“Like I’ve mentioned before, Migge Skincare seems quite arrogant.”
“Their products are really just mediocre. I’ve been using them for a few days now and haven’t noticed any improvements. I’m not sure why there’s such a fuss about Migge Skincare. You see, something getting a lot of praise online is often just because it’s been heavily promoted.”
Isabella smirked, seeing things play out exactly as she expected.
“Babe, are you heading to bed?” Andrew inquired softly.
“Yeah, you should get some sleep too. Don’t stay up too late,” Isabella said, realizing it was already midnight.
“Alright, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
After they exchanged goodnights, Isabella fell asleep. The day she met Elaine for breakfast, she discovered that Elaine had also started using Natural Beauty products.
“The fragrance Susan created is really wonderful. I absolutely love it!” Elaine said excitedly.
“Yeah, she’s got a real knack for this,” Isabella responded, smiling.
“I’m going to tell all my friends about it today! I’ve been using these products for a few days, and the results are impressive. They hold up well against the luxury skincare brands I usually use.”
Isabella smiled. Naturally, they were excellent—after all, she had developed the formulas herself, and her work was second to none.
They savored their breakfast, enjoying the lovely morning atmosphere.
Josie invited Isabella out for a meal to show her gratitude for agreeing to collaborate. “You have a real talent for business, which is why I chose you. It’s rare to find a socialite who thinks independently,” Jada said warmly.
