Chapter 357
Alexander had suppressed the news about Lily’s kidnapping as much as possible. The domestic media had
not reported it, but there was news in Westwood. The people in the industry, ’ especially those who
participated in the perfume sampling conference, knew about it.
Lisa was distraught. She would have run over to see Lily, but it was already late at night, and her father
stopped her from going.
Giselle was the most confused person in the whole event. She was one of the kidnapped people but slept
throughout the whole incident. She did not know what had happened and only learned about the situation after
the doctor examined her.
She was still very uncertain about it after watching the news. She asked Lily repeatedly, “Is what the news
says true? Is it true? I— no, I mean, we got kidnapped?” She gasped when she saw Lily nodding affirmatively.

“You got drugged and were unconscious the whole time, so it’s normal if you did not know about it.” Lily
paused for a moment. She feared her words were too harsh for Giselle and added, “The drugs were
very high dosage.”
“You said we got exposed to the drugs since we got into the car. Was it in the air freshener?” Giselle
asked again after some thought.
Lily nodded and replied, “They only intended to kidnap me, but because you insisted on following, they
kidnapped you too. I’m sorry for implicating you,” Lily felt sorry from the bottom of her heart, as Giselle
had become a victim of kidnapping because of her.
“That’s not the problem. How come you’re okay?” Giselle did not
mind the reason she had gotten kidnapped. What puzzled her was that she did not feel like she had
participated in the whole incident. She only felt like she had a very long sleep.
“I-I...” Alexander had asked her this question yesterday. She coughed and said, “You know I’m a
perfumer myself, so I’m sensitive to scents. I held my breath when I noticed something was wrong. I
still got drugged, but I probably had a little immunity against it as I’d gotten used to certain smells.
That’s why I regained consciousness quicker than you did. You don’t need to be overly concerned
about this. What is important is that we are fine now.”
Giselle did not say anything but thought for a moment more. Then she asked, “Why did they kidnap
you?”
“Maybe they don’t want me to participate in the final round. Of course, it may also be for other
reasons. I’m not too sure. We’ll have to wait for the investigation results,” Lily said.
She did not want Giselle to continue asking about this matter, so she deliberately changed the subject,
“Anyway, the police have caught the bad guys, and we’re safe. That’s something we should be grateful for.
We arc about to enter the final round but still don’t know the theme. Are you not nervous?” Lily deliberately
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshowed a nervous look to divert Giselle’s attention.
Sure enough, Giselle stopped thinking about the kidnapping when she saw that Lily was agitated. She
comforted Lily, “You don’t have to be too nervous since this is the last round. I have full confidence in you
now.
“Also, didn’t the kidnapping further prove your capabilities since they did it to prevent you from participating?
Besides, the company didn’t have a strict requirement for the final result.
We’re already doing well enough since we entered the final round and got a good ranking. Relax.”
Giselle seemed to think of something else, saying, “By the way, if that person didn’t want you to participate
in the finals, then that person is likely a contestant who got into the final round. Even if that isn’t so, that
person must have some relationship with the contestant. That’s a critical point. Did you tell the police to
check on this?”
