Dear Sweetheart Chapter 487
Chapter 487
Before Felipe could say more, Rayna interrupted him, “Mr. Saunders, as a perfumer, you should know
that a perfume has to be popr before it can be called a sess. However, everyone prefers the
perfume from mypany and dislikes yours. The reason is that you have stolen it from us but failed
to discover the exact ingredients to recreate the scent. Therefore, you resorted to recing it with a
different ingredient.”
“Bullsh*t!” Felipe defended himself. “It’s clear that you were the ones who stole our product and
modified it. And now, you’re attacking us, the original creators?”
Marcelo added, “Ms. Gand, you said you would provide us with an exnation. Is twisting the truth in
front of the reporters supposed to be it? You used our perfumer of stealing the perfume, but how did
he do it?”
“Mr. Saunders knows very well where he got it.” Rayna shed a slight smile before flipping the
document on the table open.
It showed the record of Felipe epting a deliveryst month, which was sent from an old residential
area in Norwal City. The delivery man had also noted down that the package contained perfume.
The sight of the document contents caused Felipe to panic as he exined nervously, “It was just a
delivery of perfume I bought on the inte. How could you use me of giarism based on
something like that?”
“What about this?” Rayna retrieved a recording pen from her pocket.
Once Rayna yed it, Felipe’s drunken voice rang out. He was telling someone that he had struck gold
in a delivery that he had received.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
The sound of his own words drained the color from Felipe’s face. “Ms. Gand, you’re really despicable
to—”
“Take a listen. That’s your own voice. I didn’t force you to do anything.” Wearing a faint smile, Rayna
said to the media, “Glory has never stolen any of Egret Scents’ products.”
One of the reporters asked curiously, “If you didn’t giarize them, why were they the first ones to bring
the product to the market? Mind exining it to us, Ms. Gand?”
“I’ll do so in a while.”
E brought forward another document, and Rayna opened it to show everyone. It contained the
form for the perfume Felipe was holding, Glory’s purchase contract for it, and a non-disclosure
agreement.
With the evidenceid bare to all, Rayna took a deep breath before borating calmly, “The fault is
mine to have allowed all this confusion to happen in the first ce. When I went to Summerbank for
workst month, I gave a newly-made friend of mine a sample of the perfume. Unfortunately, that friend
sent the sample to Mr. Saunders of Egret Scents in an attempt to sabotage me.” Rayna proceeded to
bow sincerely in front of the cameras. “I’m sorry that my mistake has damaged thepany’s
reputation. I would also like to thank everyone foring and giving me this opportunity to rify.”
Shocked by the turn of events, Marcelo berated Felipe, “Didn’t you im that you formted it
yourself? Why does Glory have evidence to show that you stole it?”
“I-I have no idea.” Cold sweat began to break out on Felipe’s forehead. “Hurry up and think of a way to
fix this. Otherwise, thepany will suffer and my reputation will take a hit.”
“You fool! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Felipe put on a bitter look. “Management was piling pressure on me toe up with a new product. I
was left with no choice, so I—”
“Shut up!”
Despite Marcelo’s anger, thepany’s reputation took priority at that moment. In less than a minute,
he came up with a countermeasure.
After Rayna spoke to the reporters, he walked up to her.
“Ms. Gand, our staff has unknowingly used a perfume sample sent to him by someone. Furthermore,
he had no idea that the product belonged to yourpany.”
Marcelo lowered his voice, hoping to resolve the matter amicably with Rayna.
Rayna had already given Felipe two chances. Unfortunately, instead of being grateful, he spurned her
olive branches by hurling malicious usations at her.
At that moment, Rayna was in no mood to show any mercy as a ruthless glint shed across her eyes.
“You know thew better than I do. You should have known the consequences of using something that
doesn’t belong to you. If he had only reverse-engineered the product, we would be willing to let the
matter slide if you would give up the profits. Unfortunately, he added his name to the product and sold it
through the Egret Scents brand.”
Marcelo offered, “I’ll have the products pulled from the shelf at once and release a statement.”
Rayna smiled. “Is that all you’re going to do? Do you know how much damage you have caused to our
company’s market value when you insisted we giarized your product?”
“Ms. Gand, you’d better not go too far!” Marcelo’s face turned grim. “It was your mistake to give your
new product away. Even my staff is a victim of the circumstances!”
“I admit that the error is mine, but that doesn’t give yourpany the right to profit from someone
else’s product!”
Marcelo was dumbfounded by Rayna’s retort.
Tapping her finger on the document, Rayna demanded, “Pull your products from the shelf, recall those
that have been sold to consumers, and get Felipe to apologize to mypany publicly. Otherwise, if
this matter ends up in court, I’m sure you know better than I do who’s going to suffer a greater loss.”
Marcelo balled his fists in response.
Given theprehensive evidence in Rayna’s hands, settling with her right now was a small price to
pay in contrast to going to court, where the reputational damage would be huge. With the speed of
present-day media, news of it would spread across the country like wildfire.
After weighing the pros and cons of the matter, Marcelo had no choice but to ept Rayna’s
conditions.
“I’ll order the products to be removed from sale and issue a letter of apology. I hope you’ll help us
minimize our losses.”
Rayna responded with a cordial smile. “Don’t worry. I, too, thank you for agreeing with my proposal.”
Marcelo was speechless. It’s not like you left me a choice at all!
Meanwhile, the reporters grew restless when they saw Rayna and Marcelo whispering softly to each
other, out of earshot.
“Ms. Gand, what are you discussing? Please speak up!”
“Exactly. If we can’t hear anything, how are we going to write anything on Glory’s behalf?”
Hearing that, Rayna shed a small smile. “Marcelo has just informed me that Mr. Saunders had used
the sample his friend gave him without going through due process. Now that they have learned of the
truth, Egret Scents will pull the perfume from the shelves, buy back those which have been sold, and
publish a letter of apology. For that, I thank him for the kind consideration he has offered me and my
company.”
Shocked by the news, Felipe went up to Marcelo and asked, “What’s the meaning of this? Have you
resolved the matter?”
“What other choice do we have? Go to court and have ourpany’s name sshed across the
headlines?” Marcelo shot him a re. “If you still intend on keeping your job, you better apologize to
Glory in front of the press. Do you understand?”
Seeing that Felipe had nothing to say, Marcelo reiterated, “Say that you didn’t know and apologize
sincerely to Glory. Do you hear me?”
“I do.” Felipe clenched his fists discreetly.
Subsequently, he offered his apology and admitted his mistake in front of all the cameras.
Only then did Rayna break into a smile over the settlement both sides had agreed upon.
When the press conference was finally over, Rayna personally escorted Marcelo and Felipe out.
E, on the other hand, distributed the gift packs that had been prepared ahead of time to the members
of the press.
