Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)

Chapter 499 As you say, she is the most special As the host walked up to the stage with the final results, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

The atmosphere was tense and intense.

Adeline and Leah's gazes were particularly intense.

The two women's eyes seemed to want to shoot holes through the small card.

However, Adeline looked nervous and uneasy, while Leah was full of pride and confidence, chin held high.

Selena looked on with amusement, enjoying the expressions of everyone around her.

In the stillness, the host's excited voice rang out clear and resonant, "After much heated discussion among the teachers of the fragrance industry, the battle for second place and the championship this year has finally come to an end." "Now, | announce the winner of this year's second place is -" The host deliberately paused, and the tense breathing of everyone in the audience almost stopped.

Adeline's nerves were at their breaking point, and she glared at Leah, her face looking particularly ugly.

In complete contrast, Leah couldn't contain her proud smile on her face.

She sat there with dignity and arrogance, sneering at Selena, waiting for the championship trophy to land on her head.

In the next second, with the host's powerful voice, a red perfume bottle suddenly appeared on the big screen.

"fleeting time!" Leah's smile suddenly froze.

Adeline was also stunned.

The tense atmosphere in the audience also stagnated.

After a few seconds of vacuum-like silence, countless whispers broke out in the audience.

"What's going on? The champion isn't Leah after all..." "Yeah, what's going on? Mr. Jenkins obviously valued that red perfume bottle, why only give it to the second place?" Because their expectations were too high, when the result wasn't what they had expected, everyone was at a loss and there was not much excitement and joy for the second place winner.

For a moment, both the audience and the live broadcast were filled with surprised discussions.

On the stage, Adeline was the first to come back to her senses. She looked at Leah's pale and twisted face, her eyes full of pleasure and satisfaction, and sneered, "This is what you get for competing with me!" Leah's face turned pale If it weren't for Mr. Jenkins' sudden interest in her earlier, she wouldn't have had such high hopes. When the final result came out, she felt embarrassed and disappointed.

Because the gap was too wide, Leah didn't feel any joy in winning second place, and her mind was filled with only one thought: How could Adeline possibly have beaten her? Lady Nevaeh was on the same level as Ghost, and Ghost was an existence that Adeline could only look up to. How could Adeline have won...

Lady Nevaeh is on the same level as Ghost, but Ghost is an existence that Adeline can only look up to. How could Adeline win against her while holding Lady Nevaeh's fragrance? Especially when Mr. Jenkins has already shown great value for her perfume...

There must be something wrong in between! Leah faintly felt like she had caught something, but the thought was too vague and she hadn't had time to think about it yet. On the high platform, the host's voice rang out again.

"Congratulations to ‘fleeting time’ for winning the runner-up in this year's fragrance competition. Now, let us welcome its owner to the Hall of Honor!" Leah could only temporarily suppress her extra thoughts and slowly stood up under the scrutiny of everyone's gaze.

After a moment of silence, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly exploded.

"It's Leah!" "It really is Leah!" "Leah, the goddess, is really amazing. She won both domestic and international awards at the age of sixteen, and then advanced to runner-up at nineteen. Such strength and honor, she is the only one in the whole H Country!" "Ah! Go Leah, it doesn't matter that you didn't win first place this time, you will definitely win the championship in the international competition!" Dominic, who had just arrived, was stunned to hear that Leah had won the runner-up, but then he relaxed and felt triumphant, applauding along with the others.

Although it was only the runner-up and somewhat disappointing, at least there was a ranking.

Furthermore, there was still the international competition, where Leah would definitely get a better ranking.

Leah is truly the most outstanding! In any case, both the Riddle family and the Walson family are saved.

Amidst the applause and cheers, Leah walked towards the host.

She stood in the spotlight, with her award-winning work, fleeting time, behind her.

Despite trying hard to restrain her dissatisfaction and doubts, Leah couldn't help but look up at Ghost.

The only man in the room who had the ability to give the championship to Adeline despite Mr. Jenkins valuing her perfume.

Ghost seemed to sense her resentment and his deep black eyes, which had been fixed on Selena, suddenly dropped down and landed on her.

"You don't accept it?" The man's low and dark voice froze the lively atmosphere in the venue, and Leah was instantly chilled by the temperatureless gaze.

Her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to say what she really wanted to say.

She clenched her fists and forced herself not to lose her composure in public. "Mr. Ghost misunderstood. | was just thinking that this year's champion must be very outstanding to receive such favor from Mr. Ghost..." After hearing her words, the cruel expression in Ghost's eyes faded away, replaced by a hint of gentle warmth.

He curved his lips and suddenly reached out to take the only bottle of yellow perfume he had pointed out and left on the stage.

Then, he lowered his head and kissed it gently.

At that moment, both on and off stage, countless gasps of shock were heard.

"Help! This is too much!" "Ah! I'm going to die! This man... he's a disaster!" "My heart is about to jump out..." Adeline covered her chest with both hands, excited to the point of almost fainting.

Selena's heart skipped a beat, and her just-recovered face turned black again.

Ghost's voice was wrapped in a smile, tender and pious, "As you said, she is the most special.” Leah's face turned ashen, unable to meet his eyes, and did not have the courage to raise any questions. She was the first to avert her gaze.

It took her a long time to finally recover from the bone-deep sense of loss and fear and begin to make a statement.

Leah looked down at the countless envious and worshipful voices below, took a deep breath, and despite wanting to leave a reputation for indifference to fame and fortune, she couldn't control her trembling.

"Thank you all for your support, thank you to my fiancé, thank you to the judges for giving me such a great honor! | will continue to work hard at the international competition and will not disappoint your expectations!" After a moment of silence, thunderous applause and screams rang out.

"Go for it, Leah goddess, bring your ‘fleeting time" into the international arena!" Leah let out a sigh of relief and finally felt a hint of joy in winning the runner-up.
