Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 868 The championship has been decided "The award ceremony has officially begun!” The host's fervent words brought the emotions of the audience to the breaking point.

Accompanied by a burst of passionate and high-pitched screams, the big screen in front of the stage was suddenly plunged into a deep and depressing darkness.

Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the darkness without a single ray of light, and they held their breath without moving.

And gradually, in the midst of this darkness, there was a blinding spot of light.

The total blackness was illuminated a little bit, a process that was so stunning and new that it was like being in a 5d movie clip, giving people a sense of vertigo and tension.

Not to mention the nervousness of the perfumers on stage, even the audience on stage and in front of the live broadcast were infected by the sudden darkening of the stage lights, their palms sweating and their hearts racing.

As is customary, the placings were still announced from the fifth last place.

As the crowd watched without blinking, a bottle of golden perfume suddenly appeared on the darkened screen.

The crowd was stunned.

It had to be said that the standard of the international competition was several notches higher than that of the domestic competition.

The fifth place had already ruled out the most basic seven colours.

On the stage, the perfumers could not tell whether they were relieved or whether their hearts were raised even higher.

And of the fifty or so perfumers on the floor, only one had handed in a golden perfume.

So when this bottle of perfume flashed out, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked in one direction.

Accompanied by the host's gleeful introduction, without any surprise, Alice stood up from her seat, but the expression on her face was not as elated as the audience had expected.

Obviously, she was not very happy with the ranking.

After Alice finished her usual speech of thanks, amidst the screams of tears and laughter from the H audience, it was soon time to announce the fourth place.

The atmosphere was such that a pin drop could be heard on the floor.

Everyone's emotions were thrown into tense anticipation.

Except for Selena.

She sat on her seat without any emotion, her pretty face cold, and her eyes seemed to be covered by something, absent- minded.

Lancelot stared at her for a while and placed a bottle of water in front of her desk. With a smile on his handsome face, he whispered, "Lady Selena, there's no need to be nervous. There's a spot for you between the champion and the runner-up.” Obviously, this young genius perfumer paid much attention to Selena as his opponent.

In Lancelot's impression, Selena was definitely not an unstable person.

Perhaps due to the mutual admiration of geniuses, he could feel that this woman had a talent for perfumery that surpassed everyone else.

Just like him, in this field, there was no concept of losing in their dictionary.

Everyone, including him, couldn't help but feel nervous, but Selena, of all people, should be the least nervous.

Her confidence and arrogance seemed to be engraved in her bones.

Selena blinked her eyes, lowered her eyelashes, and twirled her hair with her slender fingers. "Do | look... nervous?" she asked.

Lancelot frowned slightly, "Your complexion... doesn't look good." Selena glanced at Leah and said slowly, "I'm fine." In the VIP room on the second floor.

Osvaldo sat there, staring at Selena's expressionless face. Although there was no expression on her delicate face, her breath had deeply suppressed traces of emotions.

James walked in from outside the door with his usual cold expression, "Just got the news," he glanced at Selena downstairs, his voice and gaze equally cold, "the champion has been decided.” Osvaldo's deep and unfathomable eyes remained fixed on Selena, and a layer of inorganic coldness shimmered in his eyes.

James carried a cup of coffee and casually said, "Two parties have intervened. One party has ordered that the white perfume cannot win the championship, and the other party is from your Anderson family... aren't you going to do anything?" With the pressure from the major families and David's hidden threats, it seemed impossible for Selena to win the championship today.

But that's only the case if Osvaldo isn't here.

How could this man bear to see Selena with a disappointed or unhappy expression? With this man here, no matter how many insider deals and unexpected situations arise, the championship trophy today will ultimately only fall into Selena’s hands.

The fourth place went to a male perfumer from Y Country.

Third place was Daisy.

The fiery rose in the perfume industry was clearly dissatisfied with her third place finish, her expression was extremely unpleasant. And the audience on site whispered as they saw Daisy only get third place.

"Oh my God! Daisy is so amazing, yet she only got third place..." "That's pretty normal, isn't it? After all, Lancelot and Lady Selena were there..." "I admit that Lancelot is better than Miss Daisy, but Selena is a newcomer who hasn't even participated in the International Perfume Competition before. What makes her better than Daisy?" After the third place winner was announced, the atmosphere became even more tense as the competition for first and second place began.

The tension was so high that many people felt like cursing after so many rounds of suspense.

Students from Creephia and Capital University were gripping their palms tightly.

Capital University students didn't know enough about Selena and nervously asked each other, "I don't think Lady Selena looks too good. What if she doesn't win anything today?" With all the commotion around Selena before, if she doesn't win the championship today, she might be called all sorts of names.

Creephia students were also sweating nervously, but when they heard this, they were unusually confident, "Don't worry, Lady Selena won't lose. She'll definitely win the championship!" "That's right! Lady Selena's stinky man said that if the Perfume Alliance dares to manipulate the results and not give her the championship, he'll destroy their brand!" Nova was crouching in her seat, her eyes wide open, holding her fists and muttering over and over again, "Selena will win, Selena will definitely be the champion!" The host held the microphone, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and jokingly said, "Why am | standing here? Every time | announce a ranking, | get a lot of hate. Alright, without further ado, let us warmly welcome the second place winner of this international competition, please watch the big screen - " The lights in the venue dimmed.

All the whispers instantly disappeared.

In the quiet space, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of hearts pounding wildly.

Whether in the audience or watching the live broadcast on television, at this moment everyone held their breath and stared motionlessly at the giant screen.
