Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 248

Charlene never expected Jennifer would actually do this!

No one knew the origins of youth cream better than Charlene. Plus, she had already filed for a patent at the first opportunity, making it clear there were no ownership disputes. Yet, Jennifer deliberately framed it this way, dragging Geller Cosmetics into the mud.

Daniel had long known this day would come. While it was true that Jennifer had always feared him, fear, when bottled up for too long, would eventually explode. Just as it had now.

In fact, it was no exaggeration to say Jennifer had gone completely mad. She was completely unaware that she was merely a pawn being pushed forward.

"Daniel, what do we do now?" Charlene asked, her expression flustered. Clearly, she was caught off guard by the news.

Daniel, however, remained calm. He knew that those people would eventually make their move, and sure enough, the path they chose was exactly what he had expected.

"You need to post an announcement with all the patent information attached to it. Make it as detailed as possible. But just post it, with no further explanation," Daniel said calmly.

"Scarlet!" Charlene snapped to attention, quickly instructing Scarlet to handle it.

"I never thought Jennifer would go this far," Charlene said with a soft sigh.

Daniel and Jennifer were still technically married, but the rift between them had grown so deep that their relationship was beyond repair. In fact, their hatred for each other had reached its peak. The mutual torment they inflicted on one another was what ultimately led them to this point.

"She's too foolish to realize she's being used. Since she wants to play, we'll play along till the end," Daniel said with a cold chuckle.

As Geller Cosmetics' announcement was posted, the online war of words reached its peak.

Zidane was delighted as he watched the data pouring in.

"What's wrong?" Charlene had been watching Daniel closely and couldn't help but ask when she saw his reaction.

Daniel narrowed his eyes and let out a cold laugh. "They really are willing to do anything for money! They actually added Brightbane Weed into it. No wonder it has such a noticeable anti-aging effect!"

"Brightbane Weed? What's that?" Charlene asked, puzzled.

"It's a toxic plant. It has mild corrosive properties and can produce an anti-aging effect in a very short amount of time. But the more times you use it, the more it'll turn your skin yellow and wrinkled," Daniel explained with a cold laugh.

"Is she insane? If word of this gets out…" Charlene trailed off, unable to finish. She never imagined that her former best friend would be this ruthless.

Daniel, however, simply said coolly, "Even if word does get out, she'll just be a scapegoat. That's why I said she's a fool."
