Ruby Sullivan was fuming, staring blankly without knowing how to retort.
She had always been upright and unafraid of slander, so since she had truly done that thing, she couldn’t defend herself confidently against those defaming her, saying such things like the videos were fake and justice lies in people’s hearts.
Thus, every ti she encountered sothing like this, she felt bitter but didn’t know how to fight back.
Ethan Sterling held her hand tightly, smiling faintly and said, "Young lady, Mr. T wouldn’t want to hear you apologize to my wife in this manner." After saying that, he pulled Ruby Sullivan away, leaving Da Gina frozen on the spot, wanting to cry but having no tears.
She looked hatefully at the backs of the departing couple, feeling both angry and afraid.
How could this man be so devoid of dignity? Ruby Sullivan’s indiscretion was known worldwide, yet he could still display such a self-satisfied expression?
Soon, Gina’s mood cald down, "Who knows why such a pair is together, but it certainly isn’t love! Hmph, maybe this man is the type to flirt with others too,
pretending for others to see, doesn’t he feel tired?" She snorted coldly, firmly believing these imagined scenarios, and stopped thinking about it.
Of course, she wanted to share her reasoned speculation with more people, but she had to heed Mr. T’s warning.

Mr. and Mrs. Sterling checked their schedules and decided to stay longer in Veridia for two days, partly because Ruby Sullivan hadn’t had a chance to visit the spice factory, and partly because they hadn’t had a date in a long ti.
Upon hearing their plan, the little ones were of course sowhat displeased, mainly Honey, but upon learning that mom and dad would bring back gifts, Honey’s mood was soothed imdiately,
even urging them to have fun outside.
After the festival ended, this southern Gallian town quieted down, even the floral scents in the air seed to soften, no longer assaulting the nose with intense fragrances, but leaving gentle traces after deep breaths, like fading notes, the lingering sweetness after the revelry.
Though they called it a date, Ruby Sullivan carried her planner with her, hoping the design ideas for the new perfu would beco clearer. Ethan Sterling liked seeing her focused on work, anyway sitting with her in a café watching the sunset wouldn’t feel dull, which was just nice.
After returning ho, Ruby Sullivan imdiately started on the new perfu’s proposal. After an internal eting, Claire and Wendy were both eagerly anticipating Ruby Sullivan’s completely different milky scent experint this ti.
Perfurs also didn’t want to fuss over the sa scents all the ti, transforming all disregarded fragrances into sought-after masterpieces was when a perfur achieved success.
However, a week later, Alex brought so particularly bad news: Nirvana was banned from launching in Gallia, the reasons listed in the regulation were vague, which Alex found troubling, because it was clear soone was intentionally targeting Nirvana.
In this situation, first one must figure out who’s targeting them, then take corresponding asures based on the opponent’s level, of course, the asures referred to here would undoubtedly be costly.
"Did you offend anyone during your last business trip?" Alex reminded.
"Offend?" Ruby Sullivan frowned in confusion, suddenly a woman’s face popped into her mind, "Could it be Da Gina?"
"Gina?" Alex pondered, exchanged so information with Ruby Sullivan, and after confirming they were thinking of the sa person, sighed helplessly, "Soone of her status, to give a small company like Nirvana trouble is effortless, I think you can basically give up on the Gallian market."
Ruby Sullivan instantly deflated.
Gallia is the global perfu sanctuary, every perfur dreams of one day conquering the nitpicking and pretentious Gallians’ senses. Yet she hadn’t even begun, but was stopped at the "prohibited entry" fence, the dissatisfaction and disappointnt in her heart couldn’t be expressed in just a few words.
Alex hadn’t heard her speak for a while, sowhat imagining her feelings, cautiously reminding, "There are only two people who could help you, Dr. L or Mr. T."
"Other than that?"
"Maybe you can hope Da Gina’s father and brother are ousted."
Ruby Sullivan gave a bitter smile, "Got it."
After hanging up, all her enthusiasm for the new product vanished completely, feeling like a bucket of ice shards had been poured on her, icy cold.
If the opponent could find flaws, she might not feel so aggrieved, but now, she really wanted to rush to Gina’s side and give her a good scolding.
Yet she knew there was nothing she could do, she could only have a nice al with Mr. Sterling and then think about the next plan.
If her perfu sells like crazy in any other part of the world, she refuses to believe she couldn’t break into the Gallian market!
She tried to motivate herself, still inadvertently revealing her emotions to Mr. Sterling, under Ethan Sterling’s coaxing, she gradually confessed everything she did and didn’t want to say.
Ethan Sterling took a bite of black pepper steak, raised an eyebrow, "Hmm... So this ti I can’t help you."
Ruby Sullivan poked at the salad in front of her, sighed, "Seems like it." After saying that, she looked at Ethan Sterling, "You wouldn’t... be mad, right?"
"Why be mad?" Ethan Sterling thought for a mont, then laughed out, "Furious yet powerless?"
Ruby Sullivan grinned too, thinking, who knows if that useless pride of yours would grandly appear at this mont?
"Alright then, since it’s an impossible matter, don’t think about it anymore, beyond the sky there’s more sky, beyond people there are more people, everyone has problems that cannot be solved, currently Nirvana’s montum is excellent, you can seriously consider other markets."
"Yes, indeed, although this new product was ant to be a heavy blow to the Gallians, launching in other markets would have the sa effect. So speaking of which, it wouldn’t really influence the developnt of the new product much."
Ruby Sullivan chatted with him a bit, feeling much better.
After dinner, they parted ways, she planned to leave work early that night, visit the market, and cook a al for the kids and Mr. Sterling, but around three o’clock she received a call from Mr. Sterling, saying there was a problem in the Euronia market, he had to rush to the airport.
Ruby Sullivan knew it was his work, apart from wishing him a safe journey, she didn’t know what else to say.
Only thinking of her bad mood today, she still felt like cuddling to sleep with him.
At night, Ethan Sterling landed punctually at Celeston Airport.
This ti he ca over without bringing any assistants, didn’t even inform the company staff here, got off the plane, and soon spotted a person dressed in black suit and sunglasses among the crowd of greeters.
Wearing sunglasses at night isn’t hard to stand out, most importantly, the person was holding his na sign, and the sign was upside down.
