Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 869 Runner-up? In the pitch-black space, as if someone was holding a light source and approaching, a moon-white radiance, gentle and pure to the extreme, descended like a savior's white light, becoming brighter and brighter until it finally shone to the utmost.

At the moment when everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, the white light scattered into countless star points and illuminated the entire banquet scene.

The whole scene was so shocking that it reached its apex.

Finally, the only thing left on the big screen was a bottle of white perfume sparkling with holy light, shimmering cool and luxurious on the red throne, warm and beautiful to the extreme.

When Selena’s gaze fell on the bottle of white perfume, a trace of darkness flashed across her eyes.

Leah, who had been keeping an eye on the big screen all the time, was stunned.

Selena was only the runner-up? She clenched her fists, a hint of discontent flashing in her eyes.

Lancelot was also taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and smiled slightly at Selena, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, "Lady Selena, you lost." Selena smiled back, and a surge of darkness flashed in her eyes, "I won't give up until the champion trophy is decided!" Lancelot looked at the sharpness in her eyes, not only did he not feel unhappy, but he also appreciated it more and laughed along, "I'm looking forward to Lady Selena’s counterattack.” Generally speaking, the rankings announced by the judges would not change.

But given the special nature of the perfume contest, there were a few perfumes that could make a comeback in the later stages! However, the chances were too slim.

For so many years, such unexpected situations had never occurred.

Unless Selena could make all the audience present, especially all the perfumers, overturn the decision of so many international judges and confirm that she was stronger than Lancelot, the already established rankings would not be changed.

But could this happen, with all the audience and especially the perfumers on her side, and with a heavenly prodigy like Lancelot as her opponent? Lancelot thought, it was impossible.

But as he looked into Selena's dark and stern eyes, he suddenly felt a wavering in his resolve. Selena was definitely not one to easily give up.

He was eagerly anticipating what her next move would be.

Lancelot stared at the perfume on the big screen and smiled slightly. And at the moment when the white perfume appeared, everyone in front and behind the stage was stunned and forgot to breathe. After a few seconds of vacuum-like silence, thunderous applause broke out on the scene. Even the screams that usually occurred at this moment disappeared under the holy and gentle atmosphere created by this perfume. Everyone was excited, their faces red and necks thick.

"Whose is this? It's so pretty!" "Wow! For the first time, | feel like perfume really has a soul. It's just a bottle of perfume, but | can actually tell that it's like a princess, really more beautiful than other perfumes!" "This perfume has a soul, just like a living being! It's too beautiful and too pretty!" "Even someone like me, who knows nothing about perfumes, can tell that it's more beautiful than other perfumes. It's too incredible!" In the world, there can hardly be found anything more gentle and beautiful than this pure white...

How could anyone turn a cold, lifeless object into something so holy? The host's excited voice, full of emotion, spread through the microphone and reached every corner of the scene. "This perfume has a beautiful name, it's called ‘Devotion’. Now, let us welcome the perfumer of ‘Devotion’ to the stage with warm applause!" Almost as soon as the host finished speaking, Leah immediately stood up. Selena’s gaze suddenly darkened. Leah smiled proudly at her and lifted her skirt, walking towards the stage. Under the gaze of countless people, Leah confidently walked up to the host.

At the moment when she walked up, the excited screams of the audience suddenly came to an abrupt halt. Lancelot was stunned. All the perfumers on stage were stunned. The audience below the stage was also stunned. Most of the judges on the judging panel were also stunned. The scene fell into a breathless silence.

This perfume... was actually Leah's? What the hell was going on here? "Fuck!" "This can't be possible!" "This damn woman, how could she get second place?" The students from Creephia were collectively on the verge of exploding.

The audience from H country all showed a disgusted expression.

Everyone knew about Leah's plagiarism of Lady Nevaeh's work, and they all agreed that this shameful woman couldn't possibly win a prize.

Yet here she was, holding a bottle of pure and beautiful white perfume, winning second place... How could such an absurd thing happen? The stark contrast swallowed everyone's hearts in H country, and they all glared at Leah on the stage as if looking at a shameful piece of garbage.

Lancelot observed Selena's expression for a moment and suddenly seemed to understand why she had returned with an unpleasant face after leaving earlier.

He frowned for the first time and said, "The champion of an international competition cannot allow any insider information to be leaked!" At the entrance of the VIP room on the second floor, James held a coffee and glanced at Osvaldo. As expected, Osvaldo's gaze was firmly fixed on the screen showing "Heartfelt," and his dark, eerie eyes were entwined with a hint of excitement and joy. He seemed very convinced that Selena would eventually be able to snatch back the championship.

Selena had fallen from champion to second place, but he didn't seem to have any special emotions. Leah had taken Selena's perfume, but he didn't seem to have any special emotions either. It seemed that he was very confident that Selena would eventually be able to win back the championship.

James looked at Selena sitting in her seat with a cold smile on her lips. Any normal person would not be able to sit still at this time, but she remained as steady as a mountain. It had to be said that these two people were quite compatible...

Leah seemed to be oblivious to the atmosphere of the scene, standing next to the host with a gentle smile on her lips. "Heartfelt" was my perfume, thank you to the judges, thank you to the audience, and thank you to my fiancé Dominic, who gave me inspiration..." After the audience came to their senses, they were crazy with comments. "Leah's perfume won second place? What kind of international joke is this?" "Isn't Leah a copy cat? How could she win second place? Did we all wrongly accuse her before?" "Ah, I'm so angry! Why would such a shameless woman win second place?" Even the judges’ table was filled with noise.

After Nova learned about Selena and Leah's relationship, she was so angry that she wanted to jump up and curse, but Candy stopped her.
