Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 334

“This woman is just an intern from Kismet Collective. She isn’t aware of the specifics and cannot speak for Velvet Noir.”

Celestine shot Yolande a cold glance.

Yolande’s face flushed with humiliation.

The blunt statement was a public slap in the face, completely undermining the grand promises she’d just made on the stream to save face.

[Just an intern! No wonder she made promises so casually. Velvet Noir’s employee training is a joke.]

[But didn’t Velvet Noir get famous because of their customer service? I think this intern’s solution is a bit much, though.]

[Wait, are you guys still defending a shady business? Their toxic dress almost killed someone, and now they’re shifting the blame onto an intern who’s only been here a few days!]

[Is this how corporations work? So scary.]

[This is so ridiculous I’m placing ten orders and then immediately canceling them! How’s that for a statement?]

The online commentary had polarized and reached a fever pitch.

The woman’s face was grim. “So you’re still not admitting there’s a problem with your products?!”

Celestine explained calmly, “This Sable dress—the cut is indeed very similar to the original product in our store. But the original uses an eighty-percent mulberry silk fabric, which is much gentler. This dress is made from an acetate fabric. The materials look similar, but their prices are worlds apart.”

“What does that prove?! It doesn’t prove your store isn’t passing off inferior goods! My sister’s injuries are your fault!” the woman seethed. “Can you prove that there isn’t a dress identical to this one in your store?! Maybe you’re mixing fakes with the real ones!”

“Velvet Noir would never mix fake products with authentic ones! Every dress in this store has undergone strict inspection!”

Even the usually good-tempered Celestine was furious now.

The woman sneered, “Talk is cheap! Who knows if what you’re selling in the store right now is the real deal!”

She spoke with such conviction that she even swayed some of the onlookers and customers.

“Yeah, that only proves the materials are different. She said from the beginning that the fabric quality was the problem.”

“If you really have nothing to hide, then let everyone test them.”

The crowd suggested they test the newly arrived batch of Sable dresses in the store.
