Chapter 618: Chapter 617: Your Sister Is Actually Quite Capable

South Grant looked at the crowd coming over in an encircling manner, knowing that many of them were hired to create chaos.

The Ellison Group’s security guards stood on either side of South Grant, while reporters and troublemakers tried to push forward.

"You earn tainted money, ignoring consumer health issues, we boycott you black-hearted businesses!"

"Why waste words with them, just smash their company and let them know the consequences of deceiving consumers!"

"Now such a big company, pushing out such a young woman, without any intention to solve the problem!"

The crowd of troublemakers continued their accusations, while reporters held cameras and filmed South Grant, capturing the chaos of the scene.

Some reporters pushed to the front and questioned South Grant:

"Miss Grant, now some people online are saying that Ellison Skincare only started having problems after you took over. They claim you instructed the change in ingredients, using chemical products to replace pure botanical extracts to cut costs."

"Miss Grant, aren’t you afraid that your actions to earn tainted money will ruin Ellison?"

"Miss Grant, it’s said that Ellison’s warehouse has been sealed, but I saw the brand’s products still being secretly sold at major departments could this be the case?"

The reporters were firing questions, all doubting the quality of Ellison’s products, and these words were incessant.

South Grant looked at these people, especially those causing trouble at the back, knowing that when these reporters returned, they would surely exaggerate the situation.

Originally, she planned to hold a press conference after the quality inspection results were out, but now the situation forced her to act earlier.

South Grant withdrew her gaze, looked at the reporters in front of her, and then began to speak.

"Regarding the quality issues with the Ellison Protective Cream, our company is conducting an internal investigation. Relevant departments have already taken samples from Ellison’s warehouse. If there is a problem with our product, we are willing to take full responsibility and will cooperate with the investigation by the relevant departments.

However, if it turns out the issue is not with the Ellison Protective Cream, then causing a disturbance at Ellison’s premises like this will incur legal responsibilities.

Therefore, any doubts can wait until the results are out for further questioning. I also want to assure everyone here that if the responsibility lies with Ellison, we will unconditionally take back all products from consumers.

All consumers who have used Ellison products can, with medical examination proof, seek reimbursement from Ellison for all examination fees. If using Ellison products has caused allergies or other symptoms, all treatment costs will be covered by Ellison."

Just after South Grant finished speaking, a person in the crowd shouted:

"Can Ellison really afford this? If it’s a problem with the Ellison Skincare cream, won’t the hefty compensations crush Ellison, where will you get the money to compensate us consumers?"

After this person spoke, the crowd began to stir.

Following the voice, South Grant looked over, at the crowd pushing and shouting.

Though South Grant didn’t spot the speaker, she was sure this person was definitely instigating within the crowd.

Ellison facing the hefty compensation issues might be known to top company officials, but simple consumers, why would they care about such matters?

South Grant was about to find the right moment to say something, taking advantage of the instigator’s actions, so she began to speak:

"Ellison Skincare has history; it is perhaps the oldest brand within Celestia. Over the years countless brands have gradually lost their market, while Ellison remains evergreen, what do you think this relies on?

It is conscience, being worthy of every person who has spent with Ellison. My grandmother’s father, Old Master Ellison, does everyone still remember the old man?

Years ago, during the nation-wide flooding, countless people lost their homes, countless warriors perished in the waters.

Citizens that were displaced, at that time the old man nearly donated more than half of Ellison’s assets to help with flood relief, even though there were higher-ups who didn’t understand his actions.

My matron told me that at that time, the old man instructed his descendants, saying the money of Ellison came from the hard-earned money of Celestia’s populace, now that the people were in trouble, returning this money to them was the most natural thing to do; what is there to discuss?

Through the years, Ellison has faced twists and turns, falling into the hands of some with ill intentions who, for money, for profit, would employ any means.

But now, things are different, my grandmother is back, she brings back the beliefs of Old Master Ellison from those days, teaching us grandchildren how to operate and manage.

Apart from some guarantees, we won’t wrong everyone’s money, we won’t make tainted money, we won’t forget our roots for profit; these things I can assure everyone.

Even if faced with compensation, even if these compensations drag Ellison down, even if Ellison as a brand disappears, I assure everyone, the compensation to all consumers won’t be reduced by a penny.

Even if I need to sell the entire company, sell everything under my name, I will make every effort to compensate everyone."

Due to the chaos at Ellison’s company gate, aside from the troublemakers and reporters, many bystanders gathered holding their phones, recording videos to post on major platforms online. Once South Grant finished speaking, those recording remained silent for a moment before erupting into applause.

After saying these words, South Grant looked at those behind holding up phones recording videos, guessing they weren’t in league with these troublemakers, and thought to seize the opportunity to say a little more.

"Everyone knows Ellison’s warehouse is sealed. Even if certain departments involved, we have sealed it for our inspections first. Only after the checks are completed and qualified, will we face the public with sales. Regardless of how many orders we have, no matter how they sue, demand for high compensation, I won’t release a single product until we can ensure it can safely enter the market. Only then will I open the warehouse for distribution; this is my bottom line as a business person."

After South Grant finished speaking, she saw the people behind nodding and applauding once more.

Not far from Ellison’s main gate, a black car stopped where Henry Grant sat, glanced at the woman sitting in the back seat, then spoke softly:

"Didn’t expect, your sister is quite capable, turning the situation around in just a few words."

Fiona Grant watched the scene outside the window, her lips curling into a cold smile: "And what if she is capable? Now that the warehouse is sealed, no matter how compelling her words, those compensations can still crush her."

ps: Recently I’ve been ill and caught up in some lawsuits regarding child custody, very painstaking. High fever, pent-up frustration, mouth full of sores, apologies for not notifying everyone and suspending updates, it won’t happen again.

Litigations are long-term, I will continue updating, without money, without food there’s no base.

Thanks everyone for your understanding.

Continued updates tomorrow.
