Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 160

"What do you mean by that?" the female reporter's face turned sour from being retorted by Danielle.

Danielle let out a sneer and said, "It's the literal meaning. I was saying you are brainless.”

The female reporter retorted indignantly, "The founder of Grace Group is so rude. It's hard to imagine what the corporate culture of Grace Group is like."

“If a dog bites us, we can't bite it because we are humans, but we can choose to beat the dog. This is the corporate culture of Grace Group." Danielle spoke coldly, figuring that this reporter was likely sent by that person. "I'm curious. How much money did the person behind this pay you to come after us?”

The other media people at the side didn't expect Danielle to compare this reporter to a dog. They wanted to laugh but couldn't, so they enjoyed their snacks and watched the drama.

“Don't hurl mud at me," the reporter said righteously. "I'm upholding social justice and seeking justice for the victims."

Danielle said unhurriedly, "Really? According to what you said, where was your sense of justice then when others slandered Grace Group earlier?”

“They presented strong evidence, so there's nothing I could do. It happened because Grace Group didn't do a good job. If your company had done a good job, it wouldn't have been slandered.” The reporter looked at Danielle with disdain, thinking, 'Our company is the largest media company in the industry. There will be plenty of opportunities to find fault with Grace Group in the future. This is the consequence of this young girl crossing me.'

"You can just say whatever you want because you have a mouth, huh? Do you need me to find the transfer records of someone paying you to slander Grace Group?" Danielle was now basically certain that this person was instructed by someone.

“How can you look through other people's privacy as you please? You are infringing on privacy. Those young girls didn't dare to sue you, but I dare to sue you. Just wait! But if you apologize to me sincerely now, I will reluctantly forgive you.”

The reporter spoke arrogantly. After all, she was the top employee of their company. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the company's cash cow. She had uncovered a lot of juicy stories, and even if something went wrong, the company would protect her.

“Selena Jones, you're the star reporter of Lemez Media, and your husband owes a huge gambling debt," Danielle said. "You usually dig up juicy stories in the entertainment industry and threaten the parties involved to give you hush money. Not long ago, your husband lost money again, and it was a huge sum. This time, you couldn't pay off the debt. Three days ago, someone gave you a sum of money, asking you to help those people slander Grace Group and make the blame stick. Now that these people have been exposed, and Grace Group hasn't been slandered, your task isn't completed. Naturally, you won't get the money.

“So, you started causing trouble again, making things up like a mad dog. I'm not falsely accusing you, right?"

Danielle spoke in a cold voice. Her phone contained all the reporter's information, which was very detailed.

"Just because you say so, that means it is the truth, huh?" the reporter said, glaring at Danielle viciously. "You exposed my privacy, so I will sue you. Our company won't let you off the hook either. I am a star reporter. You've offended me, so you won't have an easy time from now on."

Just then, the reporter's phone rang. After answering, she hung up with a pale face.

"It's you," she said. "You asked my company to fire me, right? You're really lowdown. Why did you do this?" The reporter went crazy and tried to lunge at Danielle, but Jason stopped her quickly.

"If you have a problem with your brain, go get it treated." Danielle didn't expect the reporter to be fired. She thought, 'Serves her right. She doesn't deserve sympathy.'

The female reporter seemed to have been drained of all her strength and sat on the ground. The cameraman who came with her looked at her in a daze.

As if remembering something, the reporter stood up and walked toward Danielle and said, "Didn't you forgive the person who slandered you? I was wrong. Please forgive me. I have no choice, and I can't lose my job. Please talk to my company and ask them not to fire me."

“Grace Group has a new beauty treatment?" the reporter asked. "When will they be available?"

“In three days, the beauty treatment will be available at all our stores. Everyone is welcome to come and experience them.

“Additionally, Grace Group will cover all the treatment costs for these ladies. I'd also like to remind everyone that if you experience any allergic reactions when using a skincare product, stop using it immediately. Do not casually apply anything else to your face. If you have any problems, consult a professional doctor.

“Lastly, I'd like to thank all the media for your attention to this incident. Grace Group will select one hundred lucky people on our official website to experience Grace Group's beauty treatment for free on the opening day."

Danielle took the opportunity to do some advertising for Grace Group.

The media reporters present were amazed. They thought, 'Grace Group's products are already very expensive, let alone their beauty treatments. This is too generous.

'No wonder the founder of Grace Group has such a big heart. Not only did she not hold those people accountable after being slandered, but she also covered the cost of their facial treatments and generously hosted a large group of us.'

The people who had slandered her were now very regretful. They bowed to Danielle and said, "We are truly sorry. We acted impulsively. Unexpectedly, not only did Grace Group not hold us accountable but it even covered the cost of our facial treatments."

Danielle's attitude won over the viewers in the livestream, who praised Grace Group as a conscientious company and said they would buy its products. It was as if they had forgotten how they had scolded Grace Group when they first entered the livestream.

The media reporters had all dispersed, and many senior executives once again affirmed Danielle's abilities. They held great respect for her in the first place, and now their respect had deepened even further.
