CHAPTER 206: ZACHARY TOOK THE CHILD ASIDE

Yvonne sneered, "I ask you to apologize and you have to!"

The kid didn’t reply her.

"Who told you to splash the cold water? Tell me!"

The boy stammered and finally got annoyed.

He cried, "It’s your fault! You defeat auntie! She can’t buy me toys!"

Yvonne wondered, "Auntie?"

When Yvonne was lost in thought, Zachary took the child aside.

"You splashed water and blamed someone innocent."

Zachary didn’t expect a tiny child to be so arrogant and bad-mannered.

He looked around and noticed that there was no adult around the kid.

This young kid had the nerve to break into the building and cause troubles.

Zachary didn’t believe that the boy wasn’t egged on by adults.

Zachary immediately called a guard.

"There’s a lost child. Please take him to the police station."

"Yes."

The security guard was very diligent, and then took the boy away. The kid wailed even sadder when he heard the police station. "Help! Help me!"

Passersby said, "The child was so rude."

"It’s obvious that he splashed water on a woman and kept shouting. He was the one to blame!"

"That’s right."

They discussed.

Yvonne didn’t care about what others said.

She trotted over and said to Zachary, "Get in the car. It’s so cold and your clothes are wet. You may catch a cold!"

Zachary, however, replied, "Don’t come over. It’s cold."

Yvonne was astonished, and then rushed over to hug him!

Zachary was surprised by her hug.

Yvonne stood on tiptoe and said sweetly, "You’re cold, so I hold you to keep you warm!"

Zachary frowned as he nudged her away.

"What are you doing?

"I’ve told you not to come near me!"

Then they got on the black limo.

The weather was cold.

Because of her, he felt warm in his heart.

At the Lord Villa

When they got home, kids heard that their mommy almost got hurt today.

Angela was very angry.

"Bad boy!"

Daniel was serious as well. He seemed to despise the rude behavior.

"Mom, it’s lucky that Dad protected you this time. Dad is fine and won’t catch a cold. Don’t worry, Mom."

Compared to Angela, Daniel was much more calm.

His first reaction was to comfort his mother, and then he said, "Since the boy was taken to the police station by the security guard, soon his parents would be there to pick him up. We’ll know who made him do it."

Young as he was, he was thoughtful.

Yvonne also often marveled at Daniel’s intelligence and ideas.

Just then, Zachary, who had already finished showering, walked over.

"The guy at the police station said the kid’s mom had picked him up.

"Guess who the aunt that he talked about is."

"Who is it?"

Yvonne looked up and asked, "Jodie?"

...

"Exactly."

Zachary said, "Jodie knows you’re suing her and has been under a lot of pressure lately.

"The naughty child is Jodie’s nephew. She used to buy things for him. Recently Fragrance was criticized by the public. Jodie was in a bad mood and impatient when the boy visited her."

"I have no more money. Don’t come to me anymore. Come to Yvonne!"

At that time, Jodie said this to the boy and left.

The bad-mannered child didn’t know what Jodie had done.

No matter how Jodie lacked money, she definitely could afford a toy.

It was just an excuse because she was in a bad mood.

The child knew that he couldn’t get toys anymore, so he came to Yvonne with a big bucket of water. He thought Yvonne destroyed his happiness.

*

Yvonne couldn’t help but sigh when she found out what was going on.

"There is no naughty child but irresponsible adult."

Obviously Jodie did the wrong thing, plagiarizing other’s work to make money.

Jodie could not cope with the tough situations, as she annoyed Zachary. Instead of solving the problems, Jodie blamed Yvonne!

Jodie herself was the one misled the child.

Thinking of this, Yvonne was upset.

"Jodie’s brother is addicted to gambling, and her sister-in-law teaches the kid to gain benefits from her.

"I’m really sorry for not teaching those irresponsible parents a lesson!"

"What are you going to do?" Zachary asked.

Yvonne said, "Jodie likes to stir up things. I am going to help her.

"Let’s start with the topic that she indulges a child.

"I’ll also show the netizens how Jodie leads Fragrance to nowhere!"

Zachary immediately understood what Yvonne meant.

Yvonne didn’t let him get involved in the matter. He respected her choice, but he kept an eye on it.

Now Yvonne finally had a plan, so he was relieved.

"It’s feasible."

"Really?"

"Yes."

After receiving Zachary’s approval, Yvonne felt much better.

She walked over and hugged him, "Honey, thank you for always supporting me!"

Zachary kissed her and asked, "How will you thank me?"

"Any suggestions?"

"Let’s have a third child."

Yvonne, "!!!!"

No way!

Zachary laughed and carried her upstairs to the bedroom.

*

In a few days, Constellation Lipstick would be unveiled officially.

Shining and Fragrance would launch new products at the same time.

The one that sold more products was the winner.

Some of Shining’s biggest fans were worried if Shining could beat Fragrance this time. There was a heated debate online.

Fragrance’s fans also mocked Shining’s Constellation Lipstick, criticizing it for being outdated and unfashionable.

Shining’s fans instantly were irritated.

...

"Piracy? Everyone in the world knows that Fragrance is known for piracy. Shining always offers quality products. Why would Shining plagiarize Fragrance’s designs?"

"Shining is nothing. Belle Lipstick of Fragrance is the best seller! Shining hasn’t unveiled its latest products yet. Probably it has nothing to offer!"

The official account of Shining on Twitter released a message.

It was a lawyer’s letter.

The letter stated that Fragrance employees colluded with Shining executives to plagiarize designs.

Besides, a video titled "Uncouth Nephew of the Chairman of Fragrance" went viral on the Internet.

At the same time, countless scandals about Fragrance were spread online! Fragrance’s Twitter account was in troubles. People had heard some rumors about Fragrance.

But this time, things were different. There was a lot of evidence that Fragrance plagiarized Shining’s products!

Shining even published a lawyer’s letter.

There must be some strong evidence!

What concerned the public was the boy’s rudeness!

Yvonne had the boy’s face blurred in the video.

However, from the video, they still found that the boy was uncouth as he shouted at and cursed Yvonne.

The child was indeed insolent.

After all, he was just a kid and didn’t commit a crime.

But with such a bad temper, he was inclined to do something terrible in the future.

Thus, the topic of parents indulging a child was discussed online.

Some netizens claimed that Jodie’s nephew often misbehaved at school.

Though the boy’s parents were ordinary people, his aunt was rich.

In the end, Jodie became the target of public criticism.

In Fragrance’s office.

When Jodie found the increasing number of vile comments and scandals on the Internet, she almost wanted to smash her computer!

"Fuck off!

"Damn Yvonne! You must pay for this!"

When Jodie frantically smashed things in her office, Jordan pushed the door and went in.

He looked at the cosmetics thrown all over the floor by Jodie, and said softly, "You are so angry, aren’t you?"

"Because of Yvonne!"

Speaking of Yvonne, Jordan was gloomy.

In the past, Yvonne liked him so much.

Jordan could have become Yvonne’s husband and gotten rid of the shameful identity of an illegitimate child.

But now, Yvonne did not like him anymore. She was with the man that Jordan was jealous of!

Jordan hated Yvonne, especially when he saw how happy she was with Zachary. He had thought of destroying their happiness for countless times!

If Jordan could get the happiness, he would destroy it!

"Honey, don’t be angry.

"I’ve come up with a great idea. We can make their Constellation Lipstick unsellable and ruin Shining!"

...

When Jodie heard that he had a plan, she gradually calmed down.

"What’s it?"

Jordan looked at her for a moment, and then whispered to her.

*

Three days later.

Shining’s Constellation Lipstick was officially unveiled.

Before that, Shining had spent a lot of money to promote the lipstick on the Internet.

It offered customized services. Consumers could provide information about their preferences when they placed an order online. Then the Shining would cater for their requirements.

Yvonne even spent a huge amount of money inviting the popular actress Elena to promote the products.

Elena really made a name for herself in the country over the years.

She got a lot of fans.

As a result, most of the audience of Shining’s live stream tonight was Elena’s fans.

These followers would buy a lot of products to support their idol.

Thus, everyone was looking forward to today’s live streaming.

At the backstage.

Today was an important day. It would be the first battle since Yvonne took over Shining.

She watched the live streaming video at the backstage.

After making sure all the staffs were in their places, she relaxed a little bit and sat in her chair, waiting for the show.

A glass of water was handed over to her.

Zachary gave her water. "It’s been a hard day. Take a rest."

Yvonne, holding the glass of water, gulped it down.

"Hello everyone, I’m Elena."

Finally, the live stream began.

There were several video screens in front of Yvonne.

Yvonne could see Elena in one of them.

"The star was more attractive than ordinary girls. I’ve seen a lot of pretty girls, but they are overshadowed by Elena."

Yvonne thought.

After all, celebrities had more than just a pretty face.

Their expression management and their bearings made them stand out. "She looks even better with beauty filters."

Yvonne said to herself. Then she reached out to nudge Zachary who was beside her. "Do you think she looks good?"

"Is she good-looking?" The man was calm.

Yvonne was surprised, "Isn’t she?"

"Is she pretty?" Zachary patted her head and said, "Don’t look at her. Look at me only."

Yvonne was dumbfounded.

"You’re crazy, aren’t you? Zachary, you are jealous of a woman."

"You could compliment me on my good looks. Only me."

"..."

She thought, "Okay! You’re the most beautiful one in the world. Such a cheeky guy!"

*

Elena made the live stream popular.

Everyone was excited about Constellation Lipstick.

It could be said that a lot of people stayed up late in hope to buy the lipstick.

Finally it was time to promote the lipstick.

All the fans were waiting for Elena to introduce the lipstick.

Yvonne was also very much looking forward to this moment as well.

The staff of entire design department worked overtime every day just for the moment.

Yvonne knew that Elena had more experience in live streaming than other celebrities.

Yvonne believed that Elena could promote the sale of lipsticks, so she spent much money hiring Elena.

At this moment, everyone was nervous.

"Next, let’s introduce our much-anticipated products of Shining..." Elena brought out an extremely delicate and beautiful box.

...

Inside the box, there were a lot of lipsticks!

Everyone was thrilled when the lipsticks appeared!

As it was previously advertised, consumers were excited about Constellation Lipstick.

Women loved to be beautiful and they loved beautiful things as well.

Constellation Lipstick looked beautiful and could make woman more attractive.

Besides, each lipstick was exclusively customized according to buyer’s preference.

Every lipstick was unique in the world. Who wouldn’t want a product like that?

When the box was opened, those brilliant lipsticks were very eye-catching indeed!

People placed their orders before Elena started to introduce them.

"Here, Constellation Lipstick..."

Elena introduced it.

But just then, things went wrong!

Elena looked embarrassed before she stammered.

"It features...are...

"I would recommend it... I... It..."

People of the design department who were watching the live stream with Yvonne were confused!

What’s going on?

How does such an important product introduction go wrong?

Elena didn’t stammer at all in the rehearsal before!

Elena suddenly said something annoying.

"Oops... Actually I do not know how to recommend it. In short, you should buy what you need. You must be tired of it...

"What the fuck?"

When Yvonne heard this comment from Elena, she stood up in anger!

I have paid good money to have her here!

What is she talking about now?

Designers were even more upset.

They worked day and night to for the legendary lipsticks. However, Elena ruined their efforts at a crucial moment!

It was the intolerable disaster for designers.

Everyone of the design department was disappointed.

They bemoaned that Shining would be defeated.

Just then, Yvonne said firmly, "Since the problem appeared, the only way is to solve it.

"Don’t worry guys. I won’t let your efforts go down the drain!"

Finishing these words, Yvonne walked out!

"Miss Taylor, you’re going to..."

The crowd was moved but worried.

Yvonne rushed straight to the studio without saying a word! When people in the studio saw Yvonne, they were stunned. Yvonne then sat next to Elena.

She didn’t drive Elena away, nor did she blame her directly.

After all, there were a lot of Elena’s fans watching the show.

Irritating fans was useless.

Yvonne smilingly took that box and began to introduce the lipsticks sincerely. "The inspiration of Constellation Lipstick was from the traditional culture..."

As Yvonne was involved in the design of this product, she was very knowledgeable about it.

She detailed the products.

Besides, Yvonne was no less attractive than Elena. People were also interested in Yvonne’s introduction.

Yvonne detailed almost everything from the features to the effects.

Orders gradually started to increase.

More people watched the video. As a result, Elena became awkward. "Miss, you’re so pretty. Have you ever considered being a star?"

"Miss Taylor, have you ever considered being a star? If you become a star, I’ll definitely support you!"

"Yes! I hope we can see Miss Taylor more often! We’ll definitely buy everything that you recommend!"

Some audiences were all attracted by Yvonne’s personality.

Due to quality products and detailed introduction, the orders were increasing exponentially!

The sales exceeded the original expectation.

Elena felt bad when she saw it.

Compared with other celebrities, she was always better at promoting products.

However, Yvonne surpassed her.

Elena even suspected that many her fans were going to follow Yvonne! Elena was a little bit jealous of Yvonne.

Fragrance had given Elena a huge amount of money and required her to ruin Shining’s live streaming. Thus, Elena risked her reputation to do this.

If Yvonne didn’t come to the studio, Elena could claim that the failure was caused by poor quality of the products.

But Yvonne was here now.

Yvonne’s success was a stark contrast to Elena’s failure! Who else would pay her to promote products in the future?

"Uh... Miss Taylor, I don’t think my fans like this kind of sales model. Can you..."

"Don’t they like it?"

Yvonne looked at her with a faint smile.

"I don’t think audience dislike like it. If you guys don’t like it, please feel free to comment to let us know."

"Like it."

"Like!"

"Like it very much!"

...

Instantly, there were a lot comments to support Yvonne.

Elena was awkward.

Yvonne then continued to introduce the lipsticks.

The sales kept growing.

In the end, because it worked so well, Yvonne even broke sales record!

More and more people watched this broadcast. It’s was extraordinary!

No one cared about Elena. They were worried whether they could grab the lipsticks!

An hour passed and Yvonne didn’t stop the broadcast.

Gradually, she felt tired.

But she knew that thousands of Shining’s workers behind her were even more tired! Even though Elena purposely messed up the promotion, products were sold well. Yvonne was the only one capable of attracting buyers and she had to make it! "Next, I’ll show you how to use the lipstick..."

Just then, a large, warm hand was on her shoulder.

The strength and warmth instantly shored her up.

Yvonne looked up at Zachary with disbelief.

"Teach me, and I’ll help you."

...

Zachary’s sudden appearance instantly cheered up people in the studio! "Oh my gosh! Ah, it’s Mr. Leinster!"

"This man is so handsome! Who is he? Gosh, he is more charming than many celebrities! What’s his name?"

"He is Zachary Leinster, the boss of the Leinster Group and Yvonne’s husband!!!" The fact that Zachary loved Yvonne was evident to everyone.

He saw that Zachary was exhausted. Though he hated to show up in the public, he still came to the studio!

He gazed at Elena next to him.

"Excuse me."

Elena froze.

Elena was totally attracted by Zachary since he showed up.

She had never expected to be ignored by him.

However, she still stood up to and left.

Everyone’s attention was on Zachary and Yvonne. No one noticed that Elena silently left!

Zachary sat down next to Yvonne, and then picked up a lipstick.

Yvonne was a bit worried.

She didn’t think that Zachary knew much about lipsticks.

Zachary bought her many beautiful things, such as dresses, cosmetics, jewelries,

and so on.

He had good taste, but it didn’t mean that he knew how women put on makeup.

"You?" Yvonne asked worriedly, "Do you know what my favorite color is?"

"Well... I know you have different colors of lipstick and often match them to your outfits. I really don’t know your favorite color."

He added in a gentle voice, "But I know what color suits you."

Yvonne wondered.

"What color would suit me?"

She was also quite curious about his answer.

"Are you sure you want to help me?"

Zachary smiled, and then picked up a lip brush.

"Give me a chance."

After saying that, he asked Yvonne to purse her lips.

Zachary dabbed some lipstick with the brush and evenly put it on her lips.

Then, his high nose slowly approached Yvonne’s face.

Zachary focused on Yvonne’s lips, which made him look more sexy.

The audiences were abuzz!

"Oh! He is so charming!"

"What a handsome man. I wish he could do that for me! I won’t mind even if he knows nothing about cosmetics."

Yvonne felt that he used the brush to trace the shape of her lips carefully before applying the lipstick smoothly.

She was really surprised.

She was surprised that he would come to the studio to help her and that he has such a good makeup skill!

She thought, "How could he be so professional? He can’t even tell red from pink."

"This lipstick, made from pure essential oils, is soft and smooth. When you use it, a

small amount is recommended...

"The lipstick is very moisturizing with vivid color. It always makes you attractive whenever you use it."

Zachary carefully introduced it with some professional terms like "moisturizing" and so on, which impressed Yvonne!

"How do you learn this?"

Yvonne was suspicious, and said, "I didn’t teach you these things. Who teaches you? Tell me honestly!"
