Chapter 770
Right now, the host on stage was all set and everyone’s eyes were glued to the stage, “Welcome everyone to
tonight’s Fragrance Frenzy International Contest! This year, after the award ceremony. We’ll also be having a
perfume exhibition where we’ll display the outstanding works from this competition We welcome everyone to
experience and give their feedback. Of course, we wouldn’t be able to hold this award ceremony at the Moonstone
Castle tonight without a special thanks to a fantastic sponsor. Let’s invite her on stage to say hi
After a round of applause, all the lights in the venue went out and Princess Matilda’s figure was clearly magnified on
the big screen.
“Holy moly, its Princess Matildal
People exclaimed in surprise Soon after, Princess Matilda took the mic and gently smiled as she started speaking.
“Thank you all for coming tonight Seeing so many people who love perfume just like me makes me extremely
happy It feels like I’ve suddenly made a bunch of like minded frends. I like everything beautiful, whether it’s visible
to the eye or invisible, like the fragrance of perfume. It’s colorless and formless But it’s always with us, bringing us
warmth and happiness. So, I’m willing to protect this that brings us happiness with all of you. Tonight’s award
ceremony is something I specially arranged for a friend of mine because it means a lot to her Despite some hiccups
along the way, I believe they might be a blessing in disguise for her, I will continue to pay attention to happenings in
the perfume industry and hope no one will easily belittle it in the future because it brings us happiness. Thank you
all and I hope you have a great time tonight. I also hope my friend has a smooth night.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as Princess Matilda finished, a round of applause rang out in the palace.
The host took over the mic
After her passionate speech, the host gave a mysterious smile. “Honestly, I am super stoked about tonight. I’m
practically buzzing with excitement. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight will be the night of our dreams! Your deepest
desires are about to come true.”
The host’s face was full of excitement and his voice was slightly trembling.
Among the guesses and confusion from the audience, the host said with a smile, “Next, let’s introduce the leaders
of the organizing committee of this international competition. Also the leaders of the global authoritative evaluation
agencies, and a few authoritative judges. Let’s welcome them on stage with a round of applause.”
What followed was the host’s introduction and speech about each judge.
The reason for inviting the judges on stage was to demonstrate the fairness and transparency of this international
competition, open to scrutiny and questioning in any form. Next was the highlight of the night.
“Next, we will announce the top three winners of this International Perfumery Competition, first of all.” The host
deliberately paused for a moment, creating a sense of suspense.
Keira’s hands were tightly clenched together. As long as she could win an award, receive it, and prove her strength.
No one would think of her as a plagiarist.
Chloe had no evidence six years ago, what evidence did Chloe have today to prove she was a thief?
Her heart was pounding. Tonight was the decisive moment! No, there was no such thing as failure, only success!
“First, let’s invite the three winners on stage. The works of these three winners are Etemity, Pure Snow and Firefly!
Congratulations to these three perfumers for creating such top–notch works, let’s welcome them on stage!” The
host announced.
Keira’s clenched hands suddenly relaxed, covering her pounding heart. Her face under the mask was pale, but full
of relief.
She slowly stood up, wearing a stunning and beautiful high–end dress, like a fairy. She pulled up the man sitting next
to her, hugging him excitedly, “Lance, did you see that? I really won an award.”
Lance gently hugged her back, but his face showed no emotion, “Congratulations.”
“You too, Lance!” Keira said.
With this, the future of the Olson Group was full of endless possibilities!
Then Carolina, even more excited and joyful, hugged Keira, ‘You really didn’t let me down, Keira. You are truly my
most loved granddaughter, the lucky star of the Summers family! Congratulations, my darling granddaughter.”
“Thank you, grandma. Thank you for your company, encouragement and support all this while! Keira said.
At this point, Michelle passed by her silently. When Keira turned around, she recognized Michelle at a glance
because she knew Michelle’s ranking was just behind hers.
“Michelle!‘ Keira gently called out and then walked up, linking arms with her.
Michelle was wearing an elegant and sexy black backless long dress. She had a black swan mask on her face;
leaving only her eyes visible. She was looking at Keira coldly..
Keira felt a secret sense of triumph, her smile under the mask was smug and scornful, ‘It’s only my second
competition, and my first time on stage to receive an award. I’m a bit nervous, hope you can look out for me.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMichelle’s face immediately darkened. She felt a wave of disgust, but the people around were whispering.
“Keira got into the top three in her second competition, indeed amazing. And from what she just said, she might
even be the champion. Her sister accused her of plagiarism just now. I guess such a dazzling achievement is indeed
a bit unbelievable. Mr. Joshua’s apprentice is so powerful!”
“It seems Michelle is also very good. Sounds like she’s won awards more than once!”
“I really want to know between Keira and Michelle, who is more outstanding in perfumery. If Keira ranks higher than
Michelle, that would be a bit awkward.”
Michelle deeply felt that Keira was a downright villain!
She had always been nice to Keira, and yet Keira was always playing mind games with her! Keira was a pro at using
others to draw attention, stepping on others, putting them down to highlight how
awesome she was.
If it was just once or twice, Michelle could put up with it, chalk it up to a slip of the tongue. But if it was a constant
thing, it really got under her skin.
As they walked to the podium together, Michelle couldn’t hold back anymore and whispered to Keira, “Rosanna, I’ve
never seen you as an enemy. You’re always so chummy with me, I wonder how much of that is genuine?”
Keira chuckled softly, “Michelle, why would you say that? I’ve always respected you.”
Michelle scoffed, “Rosanna, you might get away with being a smart aleck once or twice. But if you keep it up, you’ll
slip up eventually. Always putting others down, bigging yourself up – don’t you get sick of these cheap tricks?”
