Chapter 495 On The Same Stage
Chapter 495 On the same stage
On the highly anticipated stage, two bottles of perfumes with distinct styles but equally exquisite were
placed side by side.
The contrasting colors of fiery red and warm yellow slowly flowed in delicate transparent porcelain
bottles, unexpectedly catching everyone's eyes with an unstoppable force.
As everyone gazed at them, an inexplicable restlessness surged through their veins, and some even
struggled to restrain themselves from screaming.
"Ah--"
"It's so beautiful!"
"What does this mean? How can there be two second places? Who is the champion?"
"I don't know why, but seeing these two perfumes together makes me happy yet also somewhat
melancholic..."
"Me too, they're really gorgeous. Compared to the feeling and momentum that these two perfumes give
off, those other ones earlier were nothing!"
"Why am I so upset? My nose is tingling, and I feel so warm, but I also want to cry..."
Adeline and Leah's expressions froze as they saw this scene.
Their already tense nerves became even more strained.
Adeline's face suddenly darkened as she clenched her fingers. She was only second place?
Impossible!
Ghost only pointed out these five perfumes, so the champion must be among these five.
Ghost will personally award the champion this year, so she can't settle for second place.
The champion must be hers!
And only hers!
Adeline bit her lip, her eyes revealing an unwavering determination, ready to protest against being tied
for second place.
Leah was also stunned when she saw the two perfumes together.
Then, an unexpected panic swept over her, making her feel restrained, trembling, and extremely
uneasy.
But no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out where this inexplicable fear came
from. She could only put it aside and focus on the current situation.
If she and Adeline tied for second place, then who is the first place?
Amidst a deafening scream, Leah suddenly turned to Selena with a poisonous gaze.
Could it be that the champion... really Selena?
When this thought entered her mind, Leah shuddered, feeling a dense chill spreading across her spine.
How could Selena become more powerful than her mother in such a short time?
It's impossible...
This absolutely cannot be!
Leah comforted herself in her heart, picked up the glass of water on the table and drank two gulps
forcefully, barely calming her emotions.
Lady Nevaeh's reputation in the world of perfumery was something that Lady Nevaeh had heard of.
Selena was only nineteen years old and she could never surpass her mother's achievements!
After thinking this way, Leah's uneasiness faded, but she stared at Selena with a malicious and smug
look. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
She didn't believe that Selena wouldn't feel upset if she won the trophy with Lady Nevaeh's fragrance
formula.
Three years ago, when she showed off the championship trophy in front of her, she was so sad and
devastated that she almost died.
This time, she would make sure that Selena would witness her receiving the honor.
Unless Selena was a dead person, she could not possibly sit still.
The current calmness was probably an effort to pretend.
Leah hooked up her crimson lips, leaned towards Selena, and said in a voice that only the two of them
could hear, "Selena, thanks to your mother's fragrance formula, I will just take the championship trophy
this year without any courtesy."
Selena glanced at her with a look of contempt.
Leah's face turned pale with anger, but she restrained herself since they were in public.
Selena admired the scene of the two bottles of perfume standing side by side and remembered Lady
Nevaeh's appearance, one of the few childhood memories she had of her mother.
She was a truly stunning beauty, forever brilliant, brave, and strong.
Her lazy eyes curved into a smile.
Patrick's icy voice also rarely revealed a hint of lightness, "Lady Nevaeh would be very happy to see
this scene."
After many years, her daughter followed in her footsteps and ascended to the stage of perfumery.
And the works of the mother and daughter unexpectedly appeared on the same stage in a way that no
one had expected.
This scene was certainly a surprise for Selena.
She looked at the two bottles of perfume, her lips curved into a smile that exuded a captivating color on
her immaculate face.
...
On the judges' stand.
Ghost gazed at the genuine smile on Selena's face, which emanated from her heart, and in his dead
silent eyes, there arose ripples upon ripples like those in a deep abyss.
He looked at her intensely, capturing every expression, every movement, every glance with great
clarity... His eyes were filled with deep infatuation and love.
...
Selena on stage sensed a passionate gaze and suddenly turned to look over.
Then she met the man's dark eyes, which locked onto her like he was trying to seize her.
Selena blinked, suddenly realizing that these two bottles of perfume on stage were likely the man's
doing.
Given his status, who would dare to dispute his choice of champion?
Clearly, this man may have figured out the truth of the case and helped her.
A faint mist rose in Selena's dark eyes, dissipating her anger from earlier caused by the milk incident.
Never mind.
Since he has helped her several times, she will not hold it against him.
Patrick perceptively noticed Selena's change of mood and turned to see her tilting her head with an
unconscious smile that seemed to make the air sweeter.
A faint trace of worry passed through the man's eyes.
...
Ghost's gaze slowly and forcefully wrapped around her, naturally sensing Leia's thoughts at the first
moment.
He held her like a treasured baby, carefully guarding her, unaware of how her expression at this
moment has captivated him.
...
In the audience, Mr. Jenkins looked at the two bottles of perfume with a regretful sigh.
Selena had said herself that she had only been in the perfume industry for half a month, and even
knowing the basic steps of perfumery was already rare at that point, making it impossible for her to win.
Leah and Adeline, the two champion candidates, still had no rank, and the two bottles of perfume on
the stage happened to be the colors they had submitted.
In the hearts of 99. 9% of people, the champion and runner-up would definitely be awarded to them.
"Mr. Jenkins, don't be sad. Lady Selena is still young and has many opportunities. This time, consider it
a learning experience..."
Mr. Jenkins shook his head, looking at Selena with a hint of disappointment. "That girl has talent, but
she's not interested in this field. It's a pity for the things Nevaeh left behind..."
