As the scandal surrounding the "menstrual pain patch" continued to ferment, both online and offline criticism of Imperial Glory was rampant. Leveraging the public opinion against Imperial Glory, Xylia seized a wave of popularity, and the new product launch event was packed because of it, even attracting many media outlets that weren’t on the invitation list. It could be said that millions worth of momentum was created without spending a dime. The launch was in full swing, trending twice on social media, while back-end orders continued to increase. The general manager of Xylia was so pleased that his eyebrows disappeared into his smile, and he welcomed all questions from the media. He could only hope that the tarnish on Imperial Glory would get darker, allowing Xylia to benefit as a bystander. Just then, the general manager’s assistant rushed on stage and whispered something in his ear, causing his expression to change instantly. First shock, then sympathy, and finally anger. The media were intrigued by his changing expression and cast their doubts. The general manager of Xylia was afraid they wouldn’t ask, so he feigned a sorrowful expression: "The hospital just reported that the victim couldn’t accept the fact that her uterus had been removed after waking up and committed suicide." The revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd. The entire launch event boiled over! The event was live-streamed, and even those watching the stream were blown away! Imperial Glory shockingly caused someone to lose their life!! How could this be tolerated?! "How did you find out about this so quickly? Do you have anything to say about it?" the reporters asked, holding up their microphones. The general manager of Xylia said solemnly, "When the incident first happened, the victim’s mother mistakenly believed it was Xylia’s fault and came to us. Although it was later clarified that it wasn’t our responsibility, we still took on the cost of their medical and surgical expenses." "Since Imperial Glory doesn’t care about the victim’s welfare, Xylia will. Whether it’s medical or surgical expenses, Xylia has the money to cover it, we just want to have peace of conscience!" "What I want to say is, if a company loses its conscience and morals, it won’t last long. Hurting others will ultimately hurt itself, and such an unscrupulous company, even if it continues, will be criticized behind its back!" His words were resounding, and everyone present felt a resonance. At that moment, a reporter wearing a baseball cap stood up and asked: "Xylia’s products have many similarities to Imperial Glory’s. Are you consciously borrowing from Imperial Glory?" "Absolutely not. Xylia’s core concept is innovation and experience; every product is the result of countless employees’ hard work. We would not and do not disdain to borrow from an unscrupulous company." "From this incident, it can be seen that Imperial Glory’s menstrual pain patch, in quality and effectiveness, is inferior to Xylia’s. It really makes one curious about the secret behind it." Upon hearing this, the general manager of Xylia could hardly conceal his pride, "Naturally, because whether it’s ingredients or formula, Xylia’s have been meticulously tested and selected for the best quality, which naturally differs from Imperial Glory’s." He almost didn’t outright say Imperial Glory’s products were trash. The reporter with the baseball cap continued to ask: "If Xylia were Imperial Glory, how would you handle such an accident?" "If it were Xylia, we would never let such an accident happen!" the general manager of Xylia arrogantly stated. Just as he finished speaking, two uniformed officers suddenly walked onto the stage. Before the general manager of Xylia could react, his hands were cuffed! The sudden turn of events caused the crowd to gasp, and once they realized it, they immediately began frantically snapping photos of the stage! "You—" the general manager of Xylia widened his eyes, "What are you doing? We’re holding a launch event; how dare you arrest someone without cause!?" "You’re the general manager of Xylia, Hogan Halloway, right?" one of the officers asked coldly. "Then that’s correct. You colluded with a doctor from the Third Hospital, and without it being an emergency and without the patient or their family’s consent, you had an organ removed from the patient’s body. The nature of this action is vile, and we have the authority to arrest you." The officer’s statement was like a string of bombs, the explosions resonating in everyone’s minds. Even the netizens watching the live stream and criticizing Imperial Glory’s official account were stunned. Removing an organ from the patient’s body without permission... Does it mean what they think it means?! "No, I didn’t do that, you can’t just arrest someone without a proper investigation; I can sue you!" The legs of the general manager of Xylia turned weak as he stubbornly argued. But if there weren’t sufficient evidence, how could the officers have come to arrest him? The officers didn’t waste words with him and simply took him away. The general manager of Xylia kept shouting, "It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me! How can you arrest me—" The reporters on site finally reacted and rushed forward with microphones, eager to get the first-hand details. Only the reporter wearing the baseball cap didn’t follow along. She raised her hand to remove the cap, revealing a cascade of jet-black hair that fell over her shoulders, highlighting her delicate and pretty face with a soft and innocent look. Ann Vaughn observed the now-empty launch event venue, her red lips slowly curling into a smile. "The first gift has been delivered, and the second one... should be sent out too." ... ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍 Along with the arrest of Xylia’s general manager, the quality inspection report and ingredient list for Imperial Glory’s product also drew widespread attention. Both the quality inspection report and ingredient list showed that Imperial Glory’s product had no hidden dangers or issues. How could a patch made from pure herbal medicine be so harmful to a woman’s uterus? Unless the menstrual pain patches contained toxic substances, overuse could severely burden the body’s organs. Imperial Glory’s products didn’t, but Xylia’s products did. They developed a formula similar to Imperial Glory’s but couldn’t identify a few key herbs. They had to use similar drugs instead. But they forgot that Ann Vaughn’s use of medicinal ingredients wouldn’t follow conventional logic. Every herb in Imperial Glory’s menstrual pain patch complemented one another; remove any component, and it would disrupt the balance. Xylia thought they were clever, but didn’t realize this, which led to a significant error, resulting in the young woman’s massive uterine hemorrhage. The doctor who performed surgery on the young woman also couldn’t withstand the psychological pressure and revealed everything shortly after Hogan Halloway was arrested. "The patient’s uterus wasn’t in a state that required removal. President Halloway said that the incident wasn’t serious enough and didn’t threaten Imperial Glory’s status in the industry, so he took this drastic step, thinking no one would know the truth."
