Chapter 539 Selena's Tears "One of these two sisters must have a fake result! We must stand our ground!" Leah stood on the stage with a pale face, enduring the questioning from all sides.
Almost everyone in the audience was against her receiving the runner-up trophy, forcing her to confront Selena.
Leah's eyes glared fiercely at Selena.
Dominic watched as Leah's runner-up trophy slipped further and further away from her grasp, his face becoming increasingly white.
Selena's eyes were cold as she sneered, about to speak when suddenly a female journalist jumped onto the stage from below, standing in front of Selena with a microphone in her face.
Without giving anyone a chance to react, the journalist held up the microphone, her face excited as she asked, "Lady Selena, before you accuse Miss Leah of plagiarism, should you explain another matter?" Everyone in the audience was stunned at the sudden appearance of the journalist.
"What is she doing? Lady Selena was in a hurry to confront Leah, and this woman suddenly interrupted her. What does it mean?" "Could this be someone that Leah has paid off? Can't that woman have less screen time?" "Where are the security guards? This woman is blocking Lady Selena's path. Why don't they hurry up and remove her from the stage?" Leah looked at the journalist who suddenly appeared, and felt a sudden movement in her heart when she saw the abnormal expression on the other person's face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCould this be the person sent to help her out of this situation? Leah squinted slightly, looking at the journalist's expression, and finally felt a slight relaxation in her tense nerves.
If someone could help her deal with Selena, it would obviously be great.
Selena's gaze, which had fallen on Leah's face, suddenly turned and fell on the face of the female journalist.
A playful and cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she asked, "What's the matter?" The female journalist's excited smile appeared, "Miss Leah has accused you of stealing her fragrance formula! Do you have anything to say about this?" What? Another bombshell was dropped! Leah's face, which had just improved slightly, suddenly stiffened again.
With a "whoosh," the scene exploded in shock for a moment, followed by an uproar.
"Damn! What's going on? Selena accused Leah of plagiarism, and Leah reported Selena for plagiarism..." "What... the Riddle family sisters' is too much!" "Reporting each other for plagiarism, this operation is unprecedented. It's certain that one of these sisters is a fraud!" "Originally, | wasn't sure and thought maybe Selena was trying to cause trouble. But after experiencing this, there's no need to say anything, we need to confront it! We must figure out who the owner of the two perfume bottles is!" Selena slowly curled her lips into a cold smile and her gaze returned to Leah. "Oh? Did | steal your perfume recipe?" Leah's face was full of panic as she frantically shook her head. "I didn't do it! | didn't report you, and | never said anything like that!" She knew better than anyone that Selena was the deserving champion, and no matter what means she used, she couldn't be shaken.
The words of this female journalist would only worsen her already suspicious situation and pour more oil on the fire, causing her to fall even deeper into the abyss.
Leah was furious as she stared at the female journalist, her tone full of sadness and anger. "I never did such a thing. Who instructed you to frame me?" Before the female journalist could speak, Patrick's cold voice came first. "Leah, do you need me to help you recall what you said in front of Miss Watts and me last night?" Leah's face suddenly turned white, and she tried to hold back her guilt. She didn't look at Patrick and just shook her head, firmly denying, "I never did such a thing. Someone is deliberately framing me..." Because she knew Adeline was there, if Selena really took Lady Nevaeh's perfume to the competition, all she needed was a look from Adeline, and she wouldn't let Selena off the hook.
Until she could figure out Selena’s true intentions, she would never do something so stupid! Leah was absolutely convinced that someone was trying to frame her.
And that person must be Selena! Leah frantically denied, suddenly remembering something and grabbing Dominic's hand, as if grasping at a lifeline. "Dominic, you've been with me these past few days. Can you help me testify to everyone that | never did such a thing?" Her expression was extremely aggrieved, tears falling like raindrops. "Someone is deliberately framing me in this situation...” Dominic looked at her pale face, reddened eyes, and a dazed expression.
His thoughts were still immersed in the words Selena had just said.
She was more beautiful than Leah, more delicate than Leah. She had suffered so many injuries, lost so much, and she didn't even cry... Why should Leah cry, who had everything? p(ES™ Selena, who lost her mother and suffered so much, why does he always run to console Leah instead of her? Leah has everything while Selena has nothing...
When Leah saw Dominic, she didn't say anything, just stared at her with a complex look in her eyes. Her heart sank, and she felt as if she had fallen into a deep valley.
Mrs. Riddle is now in jail, and Alberto hates her, so Dominic is the only one who really cares about Leah.
Although Leah has a cruel heart, in such a situation where everyone is pointing fingers at her, she still hopes that someone will believe in her and protect her.
However, Dominic, who has always favored her, is now looking at her with such a suspicious gaze at the moment when she needs trust and expectations the most.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeah felt cold and panicked for the first time in her life.
She grabbed Dominic's sleeve and cried with tears in her eyes, "Dominic, why don't you even believe me..." Dominic looked at her pale face, covered with tears, and tried to recall Selena's crying face.
Did Selena cry in front of him? Yes, she did.
The first time he saw five-year-old Selena at her mother's funeral, she was crying.
Standing there, alone and crying, she looked so pitiful.
He felt sorry for her and went to comfort her, and then Selena never seemed to cry again.
No-- She did cry one more time.
On the night of the cancelled wedding, she was wearing a snowy white wedding dress and crying as she explained to him that she didn't push Leah, the photos were fake, and she was crying then too.
She was crying so heartbreakingly.
But what did he do?
