Chapter 768
Next, everyone saw him outstretch his arms and take a few steps forward They saw him and Chloe, faces laced
with faint smiles, hugging each other tightly. “Thank you for coming. Mr. Holmez” Chloe said.
“The pleasure is mine” Holmez said.
Everyone was utterly flabbergasted
“What’s going on here?”
“This woman knows Mr. Holmez?”
“And their relationship seems good Mr. Holmez’s warmth towards her even exceeds that towards Mr. Joshua!”
“What’s the deal between Chloe and Mr. Holmez?”
“Didn’t Mr. Holmez just say he came here to see a friend? Could it be that friend is Chloe?”
“If she can be friends with someone of Mr. Holmez’s stature, could she really be the plagiarist?”
“Who is the real thief?!”
After the two hugged, Jim Holmez glanced around and his smile gradually faded.
“What happened? Was there some sort of hiccup?” Jim asked.
Chloe shrugged, her eyes filled with resignation. Jim stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his head
to look behind him.
Keira’s face had turned as pale as a sheet. Her legs were trembling, almost unable to stand.
How did Chloe know Mr. Holmez?!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe lifted her head to look at Chloe only to see her looking back at her calmly, her face bearing a smile of respect
towards Mr. Holmez But in her eyes, that smile was full of mockery and triumph.
“So she’s your sister? The person she just mentioned who’s unwelcome in the perfume world, is that you?” Jim
asked.
Sophie had been watching the entire scene unfold and felt a profound admiration for Chloe. No wonder Chloe was
so confident earlier, she had this ace up her sleeve.
Hearing this, Sophie came forward, saying with a smile, “Yes, Mr. Holmez. Chloe’s so–called sister anonymously
reported to Chic Style that her sister plagiarized her work during the national selection. Also that Ms. Chloe’s work
in the perfume competition final is a copy of hers. She’s been relentlessly trying to get Ms. Chloe ousted from the
perfume world.”
Sophie’s smile was polite as she summed up the recent events, clearly annoyed with Keira’s actions.
Even Joshua couldn’t help but frown. How did Keira make anonymous reports? If the reports were anonymous, how
could they be so sure it was Keira?:
He glanced at Keira, who was as pale as a ghost, and had a bad feeling about this.
Jim’s face wrinkled into a frown. But after a while, he suddenly let out a low chuckle. His laughter was clearly laced
with deep anger, as though he’d heard some preposterous joke.
After a while, he said to Chloe with a smile, “So when you told me earlier that there might be some trouble at the
awards ceremony, it was because of this?”
Chloe simply nodded.
Upon hearing Jim’s words, Carolina, Keira, and Lance’s faces immediately changed..
Chloe had mentioned earlier that there might be trouble at the awards ceremony? So, what Keira wanted to do this
time, was it also within Chloe’s predictions?
Every conflict they could think of from before was almost always within Chloe’s predictions. What about this time?
In such a grand setting, how could she possibly be fully prepared to deal with the problems Keira might cause?
Carolina’s heart suddenly started to race.
Although she believed that Keira could not be the plagiarist. If Chloe deliberately attacked her, Keira might easily be
wrongfully accused of being a “plagiarist“..
Thinking of this, she immediately stepped forward and said, “Mr. Holmez, this is just a dispute between my
granddaughters. There’s no plagiarism involved. They’re just messing around. There’s a lot of misunderstanding
involved in this matter that can’t be explained in a moment. I’m sorry for causing you this embarrassment Chloe, I
ask you, can’t we discuss this matter later? You two are biological sisters, can’t you really accept her? Anyway, it’s
not appropriate to discuss these things on this occasion!”
Chloe looked at Carolina, seemingly calm, and Carolina’s heart skipped a beat
After a while, Chloe said calmly, “I never started any of this. I don’t know how she managed to make you all believe
her so much: I really want to see, if you all found out the true face of your beloved, trusted Keira, what would your
reactions be?”
Keira’s head was buzzing. It seemed like everything that happened tonight was within Chloe’s predictions. She had
done so much. But in the end, it seemed like she was just paving the way for Chloe!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCarolina’s panic was even greater than Keira’s.
“Chloe.” She was about to say something when the awards host suddenly announced, The awards ceremony will
begin in ten minutes, please take this time to change your attire! We hope you’ll all look your most beautiful and
handsome tonight!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the hall erupted in excited chatter. The lights dimmed, and masked waiters
began to appear among the crowd. People’s attention was diverted, no longer focusing on
this drama.
Chloe glanced at Keira and Carolina, then lowered her head and walked away.
Carolina and Keira both let out sighs of relief. What a lucky break. Otherwise, tonight couldn’t have ended perfectly.
Next was the awards ceremony, and Chloe shouldn’t have a chance to say anything more. As long as they could get
through tonight’s awards ceremony and get the trophy, everything would settle, and any resistance from Chloe
afterwards would be useless!
This was an international award, which didn’t allow any doubt. Even if there really were problems, as a highly
regarded host on the international stage, they would certainly not admit their mistakes for the sake of their dignity,
right?
Keira’s face once again revealed a hint of triumph and relaxation. However, she thought, it was a pity that she
didn’t completely defeat Chloe tonight. She never imagined that Chloe would know her mentor’s
mentor!
But, she had still got plenty of shots. Once she bagged the championship, she would have all the time and ways to
deal with Chloe!
Chloe used to be her punching bag, and guess what, she still was!
