Chapter 544 God and City of Charm "Selena, it seems like you have a serious problem with your brain. First, you falsely accused me of stealing your mother's fragrance recipe out of thin air, instigating the audience to use verbal violence against me. And now you're saying that everyone in the perfume industry must bow down to you. What nonsense..." "Have you even considered that you're just a domestic champion who hasn't even won the trophy yet? What gives you the right to step on me like this?" "I'm not just a domestic champion, I'm also an international runner-up. Among the young generation in the perfume industry, no one is stronger than me except for Mr. Ghost!" "You, who haven't even qualified for international competitions, are dreaming about international perfumers siding with you to accuse me of plagiarism? Selena, do you even deserve to be taken seriously?" "Although the name Leah may not have great achievements internationally, it's definitely more convincing than your name, Selena!” "Alright, now you're forcing me to escalate this and make everyone doubt my involvement in that incident three years ago. You've caused me so much questioning and humiliation, yet you can't even produce evidence that | stole your mother's fragrance recipe. Don't blame me for being ruthless!" "Selena, | will definitely sue you!" Selena looked at Leah's smug and cold expression and chuckled softly. "Leah, why don't you look behind you before saying all this?" Leah suddenly froze.
After Adeline’s warning, she no longer dared to believe that Selena was deceiving her.
But what could possibly be behind her to prove that Selena really stole Lady Nevaeh's fragrance recipe? Impossible! Selena had just said that she had no evidence at all! Apart from changing the symbolism of her perfume without permission, which was a seemingly ambiguous breakthrough point, she was confident that Selena could not produce any evidence.
With this in mind, Leah suppressed her panic and unease and slowly turned to look behind her.
Then, she was startled by the questioning and angry gazes from the judges’ table.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeah stumbled, realizing that all of them were staring at her with a hatred that made her heart sink.
Not only them, even the perfumers on the stage and various big names in the fragrance industry are now staring at her with an indescribable look, their expressions full of anger.
Leah was horrified, and only now did she realize that the previously noisy surroundings had become terrifyingly quiet at some point.
Even the people in the audience seemed to have quieted down for some unknown reason.
What's going on? With a "thud" in her heart, Leah sank instantly to the bottom of the valley.
Leah barely suppressed the feeling of her heart pounding and instinctively grabbed Dominic's arm for support and comfort.
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to speak, "The fact proves that it is indeed Selena's fault. Senior colleagues, why do you look at me with such eyes? Even if you value Selena, you cannot treat me unfairly in this way..." Mr. Jenkins snorted coldly, "Selena, tell this foolish and ignorant woman what the name Lady Nevaeh means in the fragrance industry!" Leah's expression stiffened. Suddenly, she realized that Selena's words just now might not have been a scare tactic. She felt a chill all over her body.
In the silence, Selena chuckled lightly. "Leah, you are arrogant and always think that as long as you are ruthless enough, you can justify getting everything you want. But you don't know that there are some things that only their owners can touch, and no one else can." "Even if you have my mother's fragrance formula, you need to have the fortune to enjoy it!" Selena looked at Leah's face filled with panic and unease and smiled, her icy tone full of pride, "Given your knowledge and temperament, even if | were to tell you my mother's position in the fragrance industry, you may not understand. I'll reluctantly explain something you can comprehend..." Selena turned her gaze and suddenly looked up at Ghost sitting on the judges’ bench.
The man sat there quietly, his deep black eyes staring at her motionlessly, perfect like a god.
Selena's face unconsciously revealed a smile, and she thought of Lady Nevaeh's sad emotions, which suddenly faded quite a bit. She asked coldly, "Leah, Ghost's 'God' is pretty impressive, isn't it?" Leah's breathing became rapid and her voice inexplicably trembled, coupled with her pale cheeks, making people feel sorry for her.
She suppressed her trembling and hoarsely said, "Selena, what | want to see is evidence, don't bring up irrelevant things!" Selena glanced at her, suddenly approached her, and coldly asked, "Leah, besides 'God,' is there another perfume in the fragrance industry that appeared earlier and has a higher reputation? Do you know what it's called and who made it?" Leah's lips trembled.
She swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and her sense of unease grew heavier. She said in a trembling voice, "It's impossible..." Ghost's "God" is unique.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBecause of this perfume, that man rose to fame overnight and became a myth that the entire fragrance industry could only look up to.
There is only one ghost in the fragrance industry! It is absolutely impossible to have a second one! Selena's words also caused a huge stir among the audience on the scene.
"What? There was another perfume in the fragrance industry that could be compared to Ghost's 'God'?" "I have been paying attention to the fragrance competition for the past ten years, and | have never heard of this news. If it is true, it would have caused a sensation..." "I don't know why, but when | heard Selena's words, even my scalp began to tingle. My intuition tells me that what Selena said must be true... There really was a perfume in the fragrance industry that could be compared to ‘God,’ and it is likely that Selena’s mother made it..." On the stage, Leah also thought of this possibility. Her face suddenly turned pale, and her mind went blank.
If what Selena said was true, Lady Nevaeh would have the same status as Ghost in the fragrance industry...
Leah's mind was in chaos, and her thoughts were all jumbled up. She trembled and shook her head, "It's impossible. It's just your word. | don't believe it..." She hated Selena and didn't want to see Selena being better than her in any way.
She was also afraid of Lady Nevaeh.
Because that woman was someone Leah could only look up to in her entire life.
Since the moment she saw Lady Nevaeh when she was young, she knew that she could never compare to that woman in her life.
Leah experienced the huge, unfair sense of disparity in life earlier than anyone else.
