I shook off her hand in frustration. But she held on tighter like she was stalling for time. I lowered my voice. "Jane, don't make me slap you in public," I said.
Jane put on a pitiful face, but her words were still vicious. "Go ahead and hit me. Let's see if you have the guts," she said.
I gritted my teeth and raised my hand. I was ready to slap her, but then I saw a sly smile on her lips.
I stopped suddenly, suspicion rising in my mind. It seemed like she was trying to provoke me on purpose.
I looked around but didn't notice anything unusual.
Jane seemed to sense my hesitation and pulled my hand, sitting down on the ground.
I realized too late that I had fallen into her trap.
My phone rang again. The assistant urged me to come to the office quickly. I didn't have time to think. I grabbed Jane and drove to the office.
"It's better to keep her from causing more trouble while I'm busy."
As soon as I got to the office and understood the situation, I locked Jane in an office and immediately started a live stream.
As expected, the comments were full of insults.
"The streamer is heartless. Her whole family should die for selling poor quality cosmetics."
"My friend bought her cosmetics before and got a bad reaction. Then her company covered it up."
"She should go to jail. Call the cops and have her in prison."
Since I started live streaming, I've always made sure my fans get the best value cosmetics. Every product I promoted was personally tested by me. I'm sure someone is trying to sabotage me on purpose.
I looked at the comments full of complaints and cleared my throat.
"I hope you guys will trust me one more time. I promise to accept legal punishment if the products I promote have quality issues.
"Before that, I will livestream the product inspection for everyone. And anyone who bought the product can get a refund with proof of purchase."
I looked seriously into the camera. "I will take responsibility for everyone," I said.
At this point, the comments started to change. Some fans came out to defend me.
"I've been a fan for years and used her products with no issues."
"Yeah, she's always been a thoughtful streamer. I don't believe she'd do something so horrible."
"The streaming industry is so competitive now. Someone must be sabotaging her."
Public opinion started to shift. I immediately had my assistant begin product sampling and inspection.
At that moment, another video was leaked.
