Chapter 1001: This is Your Fate

Joel Hipps listened carefully to Clare, finding his words reasonable. "Regardless of the truth, we need to handle the crisis management well. Otherwise, Hipps Group will suffer too much."

"Joel, with your understanding of the Dark Secret perfume, do you think it really has issues?" Clare found it strange since the perfume had been selling very well.

How could it bring bad luck?

Was it some kind of superstition?

He suspected that a competitor might be sabotaging Hipps Group's perfume.

"The posts say so, and the feedback from netizens is intense. It doesn't look like rumors or paid trolls," Joel Hipps also found it very odd. "Could it really bring bad luck? Anyway, it's better for us to try it ourselves."

"We'll only know after trying." Clare chatted with Joel Hipps for a while longer before hanging up.

Not long after he hung up, he received a dozen bottles of sample perfume from Hipps Group employees.

He distributed them to several servants at home and gave one bottle each to the three young ladies of the Hipps family.

Only Maritza did not receive one.

The three young ladies stood in the main house's living room, looking troubled.

Jaelynn held the perfume in her hand, feeling waves of fear. She didn't dare to use it!

It was said to bring bad luck.

Although it was their family's product, she didn't want to use it!

So, she observed Clare's expression and whispered, "Clare, is this perfume causing such a fuss that our Hipps family can't sell it anymore? You actually gave each of us a bottle." Martha quickly voiced her opinion as well, "Yes, I've heard this perfume is very sinister. We better not use it!"

Annika remained silent.

The Dark Secret perfume incident had caused an uproar; almost everyone knew about it.

The Hipps family must be in a mess now.

Clare giving them perfume now... it was a bit strange.

Hearing his two nieces' opinions, Clare looked displeased.

"People are saying this perfume is toxic and brings bad luck. I'm going to use a bottle myself, and you all should try it too. In three days, let's see if we have bad luck. I don't believe it; we live in a scientific society now."

Annika immediately said, "Uncle is right. It's our family's perfume; we should try it ourselves. If it really brings bad luck, then the rumors outside are true. If not, then someone is trying to harm us." Jaelynn twitched her mouth; that was some flattery.
