Triumph Above All novel

“Yes, Ms. Sue. I’ll do as you said.” Naomi hung up the phone.
“Don’t worry. The anti-blemish cream I reformulated will be fine,” Skylar said, sensing Yulia’s worries.
Yulia smiled. “I’m not worried about the inspection. I have faith in our product. It’s about the press conference. Our strategy is to
draw the crowd in to boast the sale, but this could be a double-edged sword. When it is executed well, not only will it clear our
name, but it will also bring in more customers than conventional advertising. However, it could also get out of our hands easily...”
A warm hand held Yulia’s hand before she could finish her words.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be with you,” said Skylar softly.
Yulia immediately felt calmer.
Yulia went to the office the following day. Skylar also drove to Kareem Fashion after dropping off Lola at school.
Skylar wanted to check on the anti-blemish cream products. However, he did not expect to see a large crowd of reporters and
bystanders before he reached the entrance of the building.
It seemed like someone leaked the news about the anti-blemish cream and had caused some rumors.
Yulia also did not expect the speed of the internet to spread the news. The reporter came unannounced before the press
conference.
Yulia had no time to find the culprit who spread the rumor on the internet. She quickly explained the effect of the anti-blemish
cream to the reporters and bystanders,
However, the reporters began to whisper after hearing Yulia’s speech.
“An anti-blemish cream that can remove deep scars? She was bluffing.”
“I wouldn’t put that into my article. A small company like Kareem fashion came out with a product that none of those international
companies could achieve after many years of research?”
“Exactly! It could be a scam. They probably want to get some money before they fold.”
“I think you’re right. I had to put this in my article to warn the readers!”

Everyone, including the bystanders, could not believe Kareem Fashion could produce such a miracle product.
“Ms. Sue, there’s a rumor on the internet saying that the skincare products by Kareem Fashion contain cancer-causing
ingredients. We believe that the new anti-blemish cream also contains cancer-causing ingredients.” A male reporter interrupted
Yulia.
“We also heard that victims were threatened with violence when asking for compensation. Can you explain this?” The male
reporter asked again before Yulia could respond.
“Also, you were suspected of having some immoral transaction with an officer. How much can we trust your quality inspection
certificate?”
All the questions made Yulia speechless. It was not because she did not know how to answer but because these questions were
unfounded and slanderous.
The reporters would twist her words no matter how she answered them, and the crowd would believe them.
Yulia felt so helpless, just like when she was confronted by the cancer patients last time.
“Yulia!”
Then, she heard a familiar voice. Skylar was walking through the crowd to her side.
