With the words “Chanel” emblazoned across the packaging, the value of the gifts couldn’t be more evident.

When the contents of the box were revealed, one could see a bottle of perfume, a bottle of facial wash, and a small classic clutch bag inside.

Upon receiving such an expensive gift, the members of the press read between the lines and knew what they were required to write in their respective articles.

Rayna walked the two men from Egret Scents to the elevator. “Thank you for coming by today.”

She shook hands with both of them.

Once he stepped into the elevator, Marcelo remarked, “Ms. Garland turns out to be someone not to be trifled with.”

“And a ruthless woman too!” the distraught Felipe added.

He had assumed that Glory would be doomed by the plagiarism scandal and Rayna’s arrest for murdering a pregnant lady.

Little did he expect her to organize a press conference to lay out all the evidence she had.

Giving Felipe the side-eye, Marcelo sneered, “So what if she’s a woman? At least she has more brains than you. You’re nothing but an idiot to have used a product with unclear origins!”

Felipe defended himself, “Someone wanted to seek revenge on her. I was just unlucky to be dragged into it.”

“You’re lucky that we arrived at a settlement,” Marcelo replied in a snarky tone. “Count your blessings that she and Mr. Faymon have broken up. Otherwise, he would have ended your career given how protective he is.”

After both men exited the elevator, Felipe asked, “Was she really in a relationship with Mr. Faymon?”

“Hmph! You think?”

With a derisive look in his eyes, Felipe glanced over his shoulder. “It’s great being a woman. All she has to do is lie down and spread her legs to get whatever she wants. And just like that, she’s appointed the vice CEO of a listed company.”

“How do you know she isn’t capable at all?”

“With her background, there’s no way she would have been given the opportunity to showcase her talent even if she had any unless she takes the unscrupulous route.”

“You’d better shut your trap!” Marcelo barked. “If you have time to waste on gossip, you might as well spend it researching new products!”
