The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1456

Arabella knew in her heart that this was more complicated than it seemed.

The fact that KT Skincare was being used as a scapegoat meant that the puppet master was no small-time player.

Reporters flocked to Arabella for a statement, eager for a juicy soundbite.

With earnest eyes, Arabella said, “If you’ve used a skincare product that seems miraculously effective but then experience allergies or dermatitis, stop using it immediately. Delaying could worsen your condition. Even if the redness and itching subside, you might face hyperpigmentation, darkening of the skin, or infections. And trust me, that’s a whole other can of worms to deal with.”

The reporters were taken aback. Wasn't she supposed to slam her competitor's underhanded tactics and plug her own brand at the same time?

But there she was, each word dripping with genuine concern for consumers.

“When shopping for products, make sure they’re approved by regulatory authorities and have a full list of ingredients. If not, don’t buy them. And be extra cautious with those viral products sold on the internet or Facebook. Think twice before you click 'buy.'"

After she finished, the media were momentarily stunned.

Online spectators were won over by her approach. Even with her products selling out, they kept placing orders, willing to wait for restock.

Once the media dispersed, Eunice invited Romeo over for dinner.

To avoid drawing attention, they took separate cars to leave.

Back at the office, Arabella's staff gossiped eagerly.
