Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 332

The host immediately chose to report the matter to Celestine.

Celestine called Yolande away and asked her for details.

“Celly, it’s not a big deal. Even if the material is a little worse, Velvet Noir’s quality is still way better than all those inferior products you see online. The buyers won’t even notice,” Yolande said dismissively.

She couldn’t believe they were making such a big fuss over nothing.

She had seen it with her own eyes—today’s sales figures had increased significantly.

They didn’t think she was just after the commission, did they?

The more Yolande thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. She put on a wronged expression. “I just want what’s best for Velvet Noir. I don’t have any ill intentions. Don’t worry, Celly. I won’t take a single penny from today’s earnings.”

Celestine’s expression was complicated.

If she had been a moment later, the amount they’d have to pay out could have financially ruined an ordinary family.

“Go back to the livestream first and tell the audience the truth—that we can’t restock.”

“What? Celly, I already promised the fans. If I suddenly say there’s nothing, what will they think of me… Can’t you at least put up a pre-sale link?” Yolande’s eyes welled up, and she instinctively grabbed Celestine’s arm.

Celestine subtly pulled her hand away. “Regarding the restock, I’ll have someone issue an official apology online. The fans will understand. But we can only offer pre-sales if we are already in the process of rushing production. Otherwise, it would be defrauding the customer.”

She had done her homework on retail operations recently due to issues with the physical store.

Some promises were a line the brand couldn’t cross.

Once you made an exception, every future instance would become a huge liability.

Yolande’s tears were already streaming down her face. “I didn’t… I just wanted to make everyone happy. I made a mistake, okay? I’ll take the blame for this. I’ll go apologize.”

She enunciated every word, her tone sharp.
