The Unveiled Rose
Chapter 241

Steven remained silent.

Chloe pressed on, "Whenever I went to your house to give Annalise some advice, she kept quiet and never stirred up trouble. But the moment I exchanged a few words with Jessica, she'd run straight to you to badmouth me. What kind of person does that? "Steven, it's time you opened your eyes and saw her for who she really is!"

After hanging up the phone, Chloe was furious.

Since Jessica loved to complain so much, Chloe decided to pay her a visit and see how she would handle it.

...

Finally, I caught up with my work and finished all my tasks for the day by midday. I stretched lazily, planning to send out the comic.

"Since the merchandise is already in production..." Zane began.

I looked up at Zane.

He continued, "Remember to add the links so people can buy them. Otherwise, no one will."

"Okay." I followed his instructions and added the purchase link. When it was time to set the price, I paused.

I turned to Zane. "How much?"

Zane replied, "I asked Eric. The market price is usually around 138 dollars each, but we'll set ours at 80 dollars. A lower price will attract more buyers."

Zane's logic was simple. If this comic became a hit, the merchandise would be highly sought-after, too. In this case, setting a lower price would lead to a sharp increase in sales.

"Alright." I wasn't familiar with all the details, so I decided to go with Zane's plan.

Zane casually added, "Your royalty is 15%. That means you'll earn 12 dollars for each doll sold."

I nodded in agreement and entered the price Zane suggested before submitting it.

Once everything was done, I took my time to post the content for today's update while also adding a purchase link in the comments.

Finally, I reclined on the couch and casually checked my stats. I had expected to have only ten thousand followers at most. To my surprise, the count had soared to over 20 thousand followers in total. I had assumed only one platform would show such growth. After checking the others, I realized that the largest platform was approaching 30 thousand followers, and even the smallest had over 20 thousand followers.

The views on my individual videos had also skyrocketed, reaching a total of 200 thousand views.

The likes and comments were pouring in as well. I stared at my phone for a while, carefully analyzing the data.

...

Zane sat in the meeting room, listening as Eric stood across from him and reported, "The dolls are selling even better than we expected, Mr. Huxham. We might need to hire some people to handle the shipping."

Zane nodded in agreement. "Have HR arrange it."

"Got it," Eric replied.

This was Eric's first time in the comic industry, and he had no prior knowledge of it. Seeing how a relatively small fan base of Annalise could generate such strong sales was eye-opening.

When the dolls first went on sale, nearly 2,000 people bought them on the first day. Eric couldn't help but wonder what would happen when Annalise's followers grew into the millions. The potential sales for the merchandise would be staggering. Eric cautiously asked, "Should we take this opportunity to develop other merchandise related to the comic?"
