The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 448

Citrine scrolled through more online posts, her eyes darting over the screen. Suddenly, she let out a soft laugh, then spoke with calm certainty. “Our product is fine. Launch a crisis management campaign, and have legal draft a cease-and-desist letter.”

Carlotta hesitated, her voice unsure. “But… there are tons of people posting photos of their ruined skin online. They’ve got pictures, they’ve got ‘evidence.’ If we go public now, aren’t we just asking to get torn apart?”

Even Raymond was momentarily taken aback by Citrine’s composure. But remembering his daughter’s sharp instincts, he managed to hold his tongue.

Then Citrine dropped another bombshell, her tone almost cheerful. “Getting torn apart is exactly what we want. All this attention? We need to seize it.”

Her eyes sparkled with a hint of delight.

Raymond and Carlotta both stared at her, bewildered.

Citrine turned to Carlotta. “Go grab a set of our latest skincare line.”

Still unsure but not daring to question her, Carlotta hurried off to the product department and returned with a boxed set.

Without hesitation, Citrine opened a bottle of foundation and placed it on the table. She pulled up one of the online photos showing their product—supposedly the culprit behind all the outrage.

“Spot the difference,” she said, gesturing for Carlotta to take a closer look.

Carlotta and Raymond leaned in, scrutinizing the two bottles.

After a long moment, Carlotta sheepishly scratched her head. “I can’t see any difference.”

“Our product’s well known, but it’s not a household name—yet. This is our chance to push it into the spotlight. Picture what that’ll do for the sales numbers.”

She paused, a sly grin on her lips. “When life buries me in snow, I shovel it into gold.”

Carlotta gave a low whistle. “That’s brilliant, boss.”

Raymond pressed his lips into a smile. “Citrine, I’m impressed.”

It wasn’t just Carlotta—Raymond, a veteran of the corporate battlefield, found himself admiring Citrine’s bold strategy. Turning a crisis on its head and using it for profit—few business leaders dared to think this way.

“Alright, I’ll get started on the PR campaign right away!” Carlotta said, her voice trembling with excitement at the thought of the windfall to come.
