Not A Small-Town Girl

Danielle and the rest arrived nearby, spotting the crowd gathered at the entrance of Grace Group.

“Bruce, take control of the situation," David instructed coldly.

“Understood," Bruce responded.

"At Grace Group’s entrance, the heated argument abruptly stopped as dozens of burly bodyguards in black suits arrived. Their presence immediately caught the attention of onlookers, leaving everyone silent.

The bodyguards swiftly took control of the scene and cleared a path.

From a Rolls-Royce, a tall and elegant woman in a white dress stepped out. Her beauty was striking, with an air of icy composure.

"When Danielle arrived, Lyla and the senior executives rushed forward and greeted her respectfully, "Ms. Darling,"

"The onlookers were stunned. The girl looked under twenty, but Lyla, the well-known CEO of Grace Group, addressed her so respectfully. They figured her position in the company had to be extraordinary.

“Mr. Darling, you are finally here." Lyla whispered in Danielle’s ear, "All the major media outlets in Soufield are here, even some smaller ones also came."

"Where are the people claiming disfigurement and skin conditions?" Danielle asked as she strode forward, exuding a powerful and sharp presence. The executives followed behind her as Lyla continued reporting the situation.

"Dozens of reporters holding microphones surged forward, firing questions at Danielle.

“Miss, what’s your role at Grace Group?"

“What’s your response to this major incident involving Grace Group?"

“People are saying Grace’s products ruined their skin and your clothes caused skin diseases. Is your company prioritizing profit over customer safety?"

“Grace Group’s products are known for being expensive. How do you justify the high prices if there are such safety issues?"

“How do you plan to compensate the victims?"

“Is Grace trying to downplay this issue and ignore public concerns?"

"If Grace Group can’t guarantee product safety, why should anyone trust your brand again? Please answer our questions."

"Over a dozen microphones and cameras pointed at Danielle as reporters scrambled to push their microphones closer, bombarding her with one tough question after another.

"Bruce and the bodyguards moved in, separating the reporters and cameras.

“Where are the people claiming disfigurement and skin conditions?" Danielle’s cold and commanding voice cut through the chaos.

Right then, the woman with the disfigured face stepped forward aggressively. "That’s me. We’re all victims. Can you represent Grace and talk to us? Does your voice carry weight in the company? We want to speak with the highest-ranking person at Grace, or we refuse to negotiate."

“I’m the founder of Grace Group. You can speak now," Danielle replied calmly.

"Everyone revealed incredibly surprised looks. They couldn’t believe the girl, who looked no older than twenty years old, was the founder of Grace Group.

Grace’s clothing was designed by Isla, the founder. This meant the young woman before them wasn’t just the founder but also the internationally famous designer who was revered as a legend in the fashion industry.noveldrama

"Isla’s designs were highly sought after, with only royalty and

nobility now able to commission her work. That was why

Grace Group’s clothing was so popular.

In addition, Grace Group’s skincare products were also

developed by the founder. The media had always wanted to

interview her, but she had maintained her privacy and refused

all interviews.

They had always assumed that the founder of Grace Group

was someone in their fifties or sixties, but it turned out to be a

young woman in her twenties.

Looking at Danielle, the reporters couldn’t help but wonder

how someone could be so talented and good-looking.

“Danielle’s flawless skin was glowing with youthful vitality as if

it could burst with moisture at a touch, and her face was as

smooth as a peeled egg. Most importantly, she wasn’t wearing

any makeup at all.

Her natural beauty and composure left them in awe.

“The reporters were overwhelmed with envy and felt

momentarily demoralized, but the breaking story couldn’t be

ignored. One of them hurriedly asked, "Do you use Grace

Group’s skincare products and wear its clothing?"

“Of course. I always use my brand’s products," Danielle

replied seriously.
