Chapter 543 Public Confrontation! Selena listened to Dominic's confident words and sneered coldly, "When did | ever say that Leah plagiarized my fragrance recipe?" Dominic was taken aback and then remembered that Selena had never said such a thing.
Selena was the same age as Leah, but Leah had shown a natural talent for perfumery since she was a child, while Selena had never mentioned that she could create fragrances.
People have preconceived notions, which is why he was so certain that Leah had not plagiarized.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, he realized that Selena had been talking about Leah stealing her mother's fragrance recipe all along...
The audience was also confused.
"Lady Selena, what do you mean? Are you saying that someone else stole the recipe, not Leah?" "Who is that person? Why doesn't she show up herself and needs Lady Selena to reveal the truth for her?" "If Leah's fragrance recipe was really stolen from the person Selena mentioned, according to the judges’ evaluation just now, the person's perfumery skills could even be comparable to Mr. Ghost's. Why haven't we heard of such a person in the perfumery world?" "We haven't heard of her because it's normal,” Selena lowered her long eyelashes and spoke with a gentle and respectful tone, "because she is my mother, Lady Nevaeh, who passed away more than a decade ago and couldn't appear in person.” "My real purpose for coming to this perfumery competition is to retrieve all the fragrance recipes that Leah stole from my mother!" Selena announced.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze because of her words.
A group of older judges on the judging panel raised their heads in shock.
"What?" "Selena said that Leah stole her mother's fragrance recipe?" "That explains everything. Selena's talent is obvious to all, and she probably inherited it from her mother. As for Leah, forgive me for being blunt, but with parents as selfish and malicious as Mrs. Riddle and Alberto, it's unlikely that they would have given birth to a genius perfumer!” "Ah! | understand now! Three years ago, Leah definitely bribed Beatrix and that Georgia to frame Lady Selena! She was afraid that Lady Selena would reveal the truth during the fragrance competition, so she resorted to dirty tricks to frame her and force her to withdraw from the competition!" "Yes! This explains everything, even why Lady Selena went to knock on Beatrix's door in the middle of the night. The two waitresses just explained it clearly - someone deliberately made them say in the hallway that Beatrix knew Lady Nevaeh, so that Georgia could urge Lady Selena to knock on the judges’ door!" "The recording online also reveals the truth. When Selena said she had something important to discuss with Beatrix, she must have been referring to Leah stealing her mother's fragrance formula!" "If this is really the case, then Leah is disgusting! She's simply inhuman!" As everyone heard the cause and effect being speculated, most of the people present were horrified and looked at Leah with eyes full of disgust and suspicion.
"If this is really the case, then this woman is just an animal!" Leah watched Selena say the sentence that made her heart skip a beat. Her nerves were stretched to the extreme, and she heard the whispers of suspicion from all around. Her face turned pale.
At this moment, even Dominic's gaze at her was full of suspicion, let alone everyone else.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFacing the scene where everyone was pointing fingers at her, Leah finally decided to speak out. She looked at Selena angrily and shouted hysterically, "Selena, even if I've done wrong to you before, you've already retaliated. Why won't you let me go?" "You accused me of stealing your mother's fragrance formula just to force me to withdraw from the competition and take away my second place. You wanted to ruin my reputation and get revenge on me for stealing Dominic, didn't you?" "Fine! Since you want to confront me, | won't be humble anymore. Yes, | don't have concrete evidence to prove that my fragrance formula is my own creation, but do you have evidence to prove that | stole your mother's formula?" "If you can't provide convincing evidence, then every word you said today is a smear against me. | will definitely take legal action to defend my reputation!" Selena looked at Leah's self-righteous expression with a hint of mockery and cold disdain in her eyes. "Leah, besides having a vicious heart, you don't have any merits. You're just an idiot!" Leah's face twitched violently as she stared at Selena with a cold hatred in her eyes. "Selena, cut the crap. If you have the guts, show me the evidence that | stole from your mother. If you can't, | will sue you!" She was certain that Selena could not produce any evidence, which was why she was so confident! Selena chuckled lightly and looked at Leah as if she were a clown. "Leah, do you know what the name ‘Lady Nevaeh’ means in the fragrance world?" She glanced at the judges behind Leah, her eyes full of ridicule as she continued, "You know nothing. Yet, you dare to take my mother's fragrance formula and flaunt it in the fragrance competition. | don't know whether to admire your courage or despise your ignorance and stupidity!" Leah's face twisted with anger upon hearing Selena’s words.
But she still believed that Selena was just trying to scare her and that she had no actual evidence. So she just sneered at Selena.
"This is my perfume, not your mother's. You are the one who's talking nonsense and being shameless!" "Selena, stop beating around the bush. If you can't prove that | stole Lady Nevaeh's formula, apologize to me in front of everyone right now! Then get out of the fragrance competition and wait for my lawyer's letter!" Selena smiled, full of mockery. "Evidence? | don't have any, actually..." Leah's face twisted into a malicious grin, but before she could gloat, Selena continued.
"Because | don't need to find any evidence. All fragrance makers around the world, past and present, will help me find it!" Leah's face froze for a moment, then she sneered.
She thought Selena must be insane to make such a ridiculous claim. What right did she have, with just one championship, to make the entire fragrance industry, both domestic and foreign, search for evidence that she stole Lady Nevaeh's formula? Who did she think she was? At this point, Leah became even more reckless.
She raised her chin and looked at Selena with a cold smile...
