CHAPTER 571 REVEALING THE TRUTH
Aubree was the shop manager.
She came straight into the shop and gazed around the room, "Who's causing a scene?"
Lydia stepped forward and swept her gaze harshly at Aubree, "Are you the shop manager?"
As soon as her eyes met Lydia's, Aubree was startled in her heart.
What a sharp eye!
Only then did she realise that this was the president of L Group.
Neither the aura nor the means were comparable to hers.
Still, she was emboldened by the fact that copycat products often appeared in commercial competition.
Could the relevant authorities take charge?
No!
"I am, what's wrong?"
Aubree responded calmly, "What do you want?"
Leo pulled Lydia behind him and said with a smile, "We are from L Group, the 'Phantom Magic' series
of products sold by your shop have plagiarised our group's 'Angel' products, I think you'd better stop
supplying them, lest make a big deal out of it."
Lydia's aura was too strong for this manager, who was nobody, and there was no need to use such
methods.
"What?"
Aubree, however, pretended to be surprised, and then pointed at Leo and scolded, "Our shop's
products are plagiarized from yours? Do you have any proof?"
Lydia said angrily, "Your recipes are all exactly the same as ours, does this still need proof?"
At that, Aubree sneered, "Can this be taken as evidence? There are so many similar products in the
world, can you say that they are all plagiarized from your family?"
At these words, Lydia's face changed.
So she would not admit it.
The Angel series had not been patented, which had allowed the other side to exploit the situation.
Seeing that Lydia and the others were silent, Aubree shouted even more fiercely.
"I think, you guys are just looking for trouble, you are so jealous that you see that our products are
selling better than yours, so you come to smash our signboard."
At once, Lydia's face changed and her expression became vaguely angry.
It was difficult to define whether there was plagiarism or not.
It was this that Aubree seized upon and deadpanned.
"Fine, you say we plagiarized you, show us the proof! Without proof, we can still sue you for
defamation!"
Lydia's silence fuelled Aubree's anger.
She was not going to put things to rest either, instead she was going to make a big deal out of it
because she knew that it was L Group that would lose out if this went on.
"It's up to the consumers to decide whether we've plagiarised your products or not!"
Aubree looked around at the consumers who were watching: "Everyone, let's judge whether the
Phantom Magic has plagiarised from them."
The onlookers looked on in disbelief, how could they know anything about this?
"I Don’t know if it's plagiarised or not, but I do know that Phantom's skincare kit is cheaper than the
Angel range and I haven't used Angel skincare for ages."
"Me too, it is cheap and affordable."
"I'm with the Phantom Magic!"
"Me too!"
"......"
Consumers began to follow suit.
Lydia's face instantly became incomparably white.
Consumers didn't care if it plagiarised, they only cared about price and quality.
They would take whichever side was the best value for money.
There was no doubt that the Phantom Magic gained the hearts of the people.
Listening to the voices, Aubree's face was filled with a smug smile.
She turned to Lydia and said, "You are the president of L Group, but you have ill intention to slander
me. I will sue you for that!"
This statement immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Passers-by were staring dumbfounded at Lydia and Aubree.
The Phantom Magic Collection was a product of F Group, while the Angel Collection was a product of L
Group.
Are the two families going to have a lawsuit?
Lydia's gaze was gloomy to the extreme, staring deadly at Aubree.
The smile on Leo's face faded.
Originally, they just wanted Aubree to break off the goods of the Phantom Magic series and call it quits.
"But it's not good for either of us to make a big deal out of it, so how about we each take compromise?"
Aubree turned to Lydia.
"I know that in cosmetic market, you must be very upset to be overtaken by the Phantom Magic series,
but you can't frame us, can you?"
"How about this? You sponsor our shop with 50 million, and this will be settled. In return, we will also
put your Angel series products online in our shop, but it's not up to me to decide how well or how badly
they sell."
Aubree waited for Lydia to answer.
Lydia's pretty face was gloomy.
What a bully!
It was clear that they had plagiarised her product, but she was blackmailed and threatened.
At this time, Leo smiled and walked up to Aubree: "We just want you to break the Phantom Magic
series, but if you are so insensitive, Don’t blame me."
Aubree's eyes instantly turned wary, "What do you want?"
For some reason, looking at Leo's smile, she had a very uneasy feeling in her heart.
Lydia also looked at Leo with curiosity.
If it were up to her to handle this matter, it would definitely be a lawsuit to the end. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
But the Leo clearly had other, more effective ways.
Leo made a call directly to Ernie and asked him to find out the truth about those who had used skin
care products under L Group that had led to disfigurement.
It was a breeze for the Palmer family to check this out.
Looking at the message sent by Ernie, Leo smiled and said to Aubree, "I already have enough
information to shut down your shop, are you sure you want to go against us to the end?"
Cold sweat surfaced on Aubree's forehead, but she still felt that Leo was bluffing and sneered, "Don’t
you lie to me, no matter what, I won't break off the Phantom Magic series."
What would she do to make her fortune if she cut off the Phantom Magic series?
"Then there's nothing to be Done about it."
Leo smiled: "The success of the Phantom Magic series of products is the result of the team behind the
operation and suppression, but what if, I can prove that the quality of the Phantom Magic series of
products is not good and consumers will cause facial breakage when using it?"
At these words, not only did Aubree's face change drastically, but the consumers next to her, too, were
full of surprise.
"Don’t you talk nonsense! Our skincare products are of good quality, the ones that ruin the face are
obviously products from your Angel series!"
The consumers also looked at Leo and Lydia.
Indeed, it was L Group's Angel range that was in the news for causing facial breakage.
"Are you guys that convinced that the news is true?"
Leo's gaze swept across the room and his tone was flat: "There is so much fake news nowadays, and
the best people to fool are you, the consumers."
Having said that, he posted a video that he had just received.
"It wasn't Angel skincare that caused my face to ruin, it was the Phantom range of skincare products
that I used, and it was someone from F Group who threatened me to say so."
A woman with a coded face cried out.
