Chapter 508 Mine "I'm so angry! Leah, Adeline, what do you think this place is? This is the most prestigious hall in the country, watched by hundreds of millions of people nationwide, and you two, with such low taste, are still the first and second ladies? Disgusting! " "Adeline is a complete idiot!" "Leah is even more disgusting. She keeps saying she cares about Selena, but when she heard that Selena might be the champion, she was the first to eagerly stand up and lead the questioning. With such a hypocritical and vicious sister, Selena is really unlucky!" "You two have twisted minds, and now you dare to openly incite their brainless fans to question all the old predecessors in the fragrance industry in such a solemn occasion... Unbelievable, are these two women mentally ill?" "How can someone like Leah get second place? | think the problem is not that Selena might get the first place, but that this second place is really problematic!" "Adeline, you haven't embarrassed yourself enough? You are not the champion, please go away and give the title to the rightful winner!" "Adeline, go away!" "Go away!!" For a moment, the overwhelming curse fell heavily on Adeline and Leah.
The domestic fragrance competition is the most famous event in the country in the past six months, especially this year, because of too many special circumstances, it has already been out of the circle and the popularity is unimaginable.
There are not only domestic media reporters on site, but also many foreign media.
The misjudgment of the champion has already made people unhappy, and if foreign media pens and tongues are more vicious, the entire H Country will be humiliated and become an international joke.
Adeline and Leah are not good. The fact is right in front of them, but they refuse to admit their failure and publicly use the kind of disgraceful means to question and defame the reputation of the fragrance industry.
This is definitely provoking public anger! Leah's face turned pale, and she suddenly realized that she had said something wrong. She immediately covered her face with her hand and sat down.
Adeline was left standing stiffly on the stage, facing the shame and insults that swept over her. Her eyes turned red and she panicked, shaking her head repeatedly, "I don't accept it, | can't possibly not win the championship. The championship must be mine..." Mr. Jenkins' face was full of anger. "Why must the championship be yours? Who decided that the last year's champion couldn't be the last place in the next year's competition?" Adeline's face turned pale, and she couldn't find a reason to argue. She just stared sharply at Selena and repeated like a mad person, "l don't accept it! Even if I'm not the champion, | can't possibly not even be in the top ten..." Mr. Jenkins' sharp eyes stared at her face, and he coldly snorted, "365 days a year is enough to change so many things. While you are making a fuss and collecting money in the entertainment industry with just one championship trophy, other perfumers are working hard!" "While you are being arrogant and looking down on others, others are practicing their techniques day and night. While you are resentful and jealous of others, others are wholeheartedly understanding the fragrance... They are working hard while you are falling behind. What is impossible about you being left behind?" "This is the domestic fragrance competition, where the best perfumers among the billions of people in H Country are gathered.
Each person who can stand on the altar is a genius with a tough backbone. It's not surprising for them to beat someone who is not enterprising like you..." "Haven't you noticed yet? The group of narrow-minded perfumers led by you, who like to create trouble for no reason, none of them have won a prize. When you focus your attention on jealousy and suppressing others, you are destined to lose!" These few words pierced Adeline's heart like a knife. She bit her lip, feeling a hot and shameful blush rise to her face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe perfumers who had previously sided with her against Selena also lowered their heads in shame.
This is a fact that no one can deny.
This year's top ten, except for Mandy and Patrick Leah who have a history of achievements, the rest are those who do not like to join in, and love to talk.
Most of them were very surprised and happy to achieve such a good ranking.
The most backward and embarrassing person was Adeline.
Adeline widened her eyes and glared at Selena with resentment.
In Adeline's opinion, if it weren't for Selena, she wouldn't have fallen into such a situation where everyone was against her.
Even the incident where she went on stage without reading the name of the winning perfume and embarrassed herself was counted on Selena’s head.
She felt that Selena deliberately calculated against her, causing her to lose reputation in front of the entire nation.
Adeline was full of resentment and said slowly and distinctly, "I demand to know the details of the evaluation!" Mr. Jenkins, who had lost his patience with her, looked at the president of the Perfume Association on the stage and said, "Let her smell the champion's work. If she is still not satisfied, let her smell the top ten of this year, and let her understand clearly how big the gap is between her and others!" The people of the Perfume Association now had no good feelings towards Adeline. When they heard Mr. Jenkins’ words, someone immediately stepped forward to pick up the bottle of "Mother" and give it to Adeline.
Adeline widened her eyes and glared at Selena with resentment.
In Adeline's opinion, if it weren't for Selena, she wouldn't have ended up in such a situation where everyone was against her.
Even the embarrassing incident where she went on stage without properly reading the name of the award-winning perfume and made a fool of herself was attributed to Selena.
She believed that Selena had intentionally plotted against her, causing her to embarrass herself in front of the entire nation.
Adeline's face was full of resentment as she said each word slowly, "I demand that the details of the judges be made public!" Mr. Jenkins, seeing that she was still stubborn at this point, also lost his patience.
He looked at the president of the Perfume Association on stage and said, "Let her smell the winning fragrance. If she is still dissatisfied, let her smell the top ten fragrances of the year and let her see clearly how big the gap between her and others is!" The people from the Perfume Association now had no favorable impression of Adeline, and upon hearing Mr. Jenkins’ words, someone immediately stepped forward to pick up the bottle of "Mother" and hand it to Adeline.
But a slender and beautiful hand reached out first and held the bottle of perfume in its palm.
Adeline raised her head and saw the man who had taken away the perfume.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was sitting high and mighty like a possessive ruler, not allowing anyone to defile the thing he was fond of even a bit.
The man was now coldly looking down at her with his black pupils, as if looking at something boring, his voice so cold that it was chilling to the bone, "Mine." This was the thing she wanted to give him.
Only he could touch it, own it, and have it all to himself! Adeline trembled slightly when she heard this.
She remembered the man's gentle and sincere expression when he had kissed the bottle of perfume earlier, and clenched her fist, her eyes filled with gloom and despair.
The president of the Perfume Association was hesitant, "Mr. Ghost..." He knew that there were many people in the perfume industry who were obsessive about cleanliness.
When they were fond of a particular fragrance, they would not allow others to touch it.
And Ghost was one of the most prominent among them.
Even during their judging just now, Ghost did not allow them to touch the bottle of perfume, and everyone could only smell its warm scent from a distance.
Ghost noticed Selena's gaze, remained silent for a moment, and then even showed a smile.
He looked especially charming when he smiled, as if he had a kind of magic that made people unable to look away from him, but it was also particularly sinister.
He gently pulled out the stopper with his slender and noble white hand.
Adeline smelled a faint fragrance, like a certain warm yellow flower from her memory, soft and gentle...
