Triumph Above All novel

As expected, Miles Silverton and Anderson Sawyer’s faces lit up with impish glee as they caught the look of fury on Skylar’s
face. This was revenge for the time Skylar got in the way of their business. They had robbed Kareem Fashion of all their efforts
in developing the anti-blemish cream, and now Skylar Stone and Yulia Sue could only stand by and watch as Kareem Fashion
went bankrupt. It was a great cause for celebration for Miles and Anderson!
“Lying, you say?” Miles quipped. “Mr. Stone, does the Silverton Corporation need to resort to lies against a small company like
yours? If you continue to defame Mr. Sawyer and myself, I’m afraid we’ll have to pursue legal action.”
Skylar Stone ignored Miles’ threats. “That’s impossible!” he raised his suspicions loudly. “You must have added some harmful
ingredients into your anti-blemish cream to achieve that kind of result! What sort of unethical business only cares about the
results without any due concern for side effects?”
“Mr. Stone, did you hear what I just said? If you continue to slander us, get ready to be sent to jail!” Miles threatened angrily once
more.
“It’s not slander if it’s real,” Skylar inserted another jab on purpose. “I called the Department of Quality Inspection. They’ll be
arriving soon with their testing equipment, and then we’ll find out whose product is inferior.”
Miles quickly looked at Anderson shiftily before replying disdainfully, “I was just about to give them a call, but you beat me to it. I
suppose I should thank you for helping to call them then!” He was initially afraid that Skylar Stone would have another trick up his
sleeve, but as it turned out, it was something Anderson Sawyer had already prepared for yesterday. Skylar Stone was out of
ideas, it seemed.
“Hmph, Silverton Corporation will take on any inspection that Kareem Fashion is subjected to! Didn’t you livestream your
inspection yesterday? Silverton will prepare a livestream event for the media and all our customers too. We’ll show everyone our
anti-blemish cream is the best!” Miles declared confidently.
Anderson had assured him their formula was exactly the same as Kareem Fashion’s. If Kareem Fashion could pass the
inspection yesterday, so could they. Even if a customer suffered from any side effects, they could easily produce the certificate of
inspection.
The media reporters seated below the stage began to look expectantly at Skylar Stone. Both companies had launched their anti-
blemish cream just a day apart, with strikingly similar features. Anyone could tell that there was something fishy going on. It was

likely that both companies were using the same formula and ingredients, even if both parties had vehemently denied it. Such
tactics were not uncommon in business after all.
If it was indeed the same formula, Silverton Corporation would easily pass the inspection. If that were the case, calling the
inspection team would have been an unnecessary move on Skylar’s part. Perhaps Skylar Stone had truly run out of maneuvers,
the crowd thought.
All of a sudden, the sound of brisk, urgent footsteps from the doorway brought the chatter to a halt. As the doors to the hall
opened, a line of smartly dressed men and women marched in, almost army-like. The contingent was led by the same man who
had inspected Kareem Fashion yesterday – Mr. Russell of the Department of Quality Inspection.
