Chapter 354 Revealing the Secrets of Fragrant Clothes (Part 2)

Cecelia’s appearance and her intention to expose the secrets of Fragrant Clothes immediately captured the attention of the media in the audience.

Camera flashes went off continuously, and lenses focused on the stage to capture and record every moment.

Everyone was curious about what evidence she had.

Warda also looked at Cecelia with suspicion and said, “Miss, have we wronged you in any way? Why have you come here to spread rumors? Do you know that spreading false information is illegal?”

“Exactly, you can’t talk nonsense like that with no evidence! Also, you were not our guest. Kindly leave this place, or we will call the police right now!”

Mizey’s expression grew stern, and she was ready to call the police.

“You want evidence, right?”

Cecelia looked at Mizey, her gaze cold and sharp. “I can show you!”

All eyes were on Cecelia as she ran her eyes over the Fragrant Clothes, smelled, and continued, “What you smell on this garment is not the natural scent of the fabric but rather the scent of perfume.”

“According to my information, you collaborated with a renowned perfumer, Olivia, to develop a new fragrance, which was used as the base for your Fragrant Clothes.”

“Nonsense! Your claims are baseless!”

Mizey’s complexion darkened, and she accused Cecelia loudly. She then turned to her brother, calling out, “Warda, get this woman out of here! She’s causing trouble!”

Mizey wanted Warda to stop Cecelia, but Warda didn’t listen to her.

After all, there had been doubts raised about Fragrant Clothes. If they didn’t address the issue on the spot and merely ejected the woman, it could lead to significant trouble later on.

At the moment, he wanted to see what this woman was up to.

“I may remain silent, but do you think all the noses here are incapable of detecting scents? I happen to have a bottle of the new perfume, a gift from Olivia. I’d like to invite a few guests with a good sense of smell to come on stage and compare.”

Cecelia raised a small perfume bottle, showing it to the audience.

A man in the crowd raised his hand, requesting to come on stage and assess the scents.

“Very well, welcome the gentleman up here!”

The man who came up was a figure from the fashion industry. He carefully sniffed in Cecelia’s hand.

After his analysis, he announced, “I can’t detect any difference!”

In other words, the scents of both were identical.

Several other men and women spontaneously came up, each performing the comparison, and they all reached the same conclusion: the scent of the Fragrant Clothes and the perfume were indeed the same.

The guests and media present were waiting for an explanation from the Songos. Mizey’s dark expression showed her unease, and she said, “Even if the scents are similar, what does that prove?

The fragrance ingredients used in our Fragrant Clothes may be the same as the raw materials Olivia used in her perfume. This doesn’t disprove that our Songo Fragrant Clothes are genuine.”

In the face of Mizey’s forceful denial, Cecelia continued her analysis, saying, “Alright, if you don’t believe that the scents are identical, let’s discuss Fragrant Clothes further.

“Everyone knows that Songo Fragrant Clothes are extraordinarily valuable. The reason behind their high worth lies in the fact that they are entirely handmade at the Songo Dyehouse, using meticulously selected top-quality materials.

“Fragrant Clothes naturally emit a scent resembling that of flowers in nature, which is why they attract butterflies.

“Now, to test whether this particular garment can attract butterflies, we’ll experiment here on the spot.”

Cecelia gestured towards the audience, and Adam quickly took out a large glass jar. Inside, many live butterflies fluttered their wings.

Adam removed the lid, releasing the butterflies, which scattered in various directions.

However, it was visible that the butterflies did not fly towards the Fragrant Clothes. Instead, they flew elsewhere.

One butterfly even landed directly on Cecelia’s hair.

“Have you all seen it? Did any of the butterflies get attracted to the Fragrant Clothes? The answer is clear-none of them did!”

Cecelia presented her evidence once more, but Mizeyscoffed, “You brought those butterflies yourself.

Who’s to say you didn’t tamper with them deliberately?”

“Since Miss Songo has doubts, let’s proceed with a more in-depth examination!”

“Fragrant Clothes come in three different fabrics: cotton, silkworm silk, and lotus silk. Lotus silk is the most valuable due to the extensive manual labor required, followed by silkworm silk and cotton.”

The audience listened attentively to Cecelia’s explanation, all of them surprised.

Mizey and Warda were also taken aback, wondering who this woman was and how she knew so much about their dyehouse.

Cecelia went on, “The distinction between these natural materials and the blended synthetic fabrics on the market is substantial.

“When natural fabrics burn, they produce white smoke, leave behind black spots, and the ashes disintegrate upon touch. In contrast, when synthetic fabrics burn, they emit black smoke, and certain types, like nylon, produce the same white smoke but with a foul odor.”

“The garment on the model stand should belong to a high-grade blend of synthetic fabric. If you don’t believe me, let’s put it to the test!”

As Cecelia spoke, she had already produced a lighter. With a “click,” a pale blue flame leaped from it.

Mizey saw that she was about to light the garment and shouted in panic, “Hey! What are you doing?

This is our hard-worked Songo Fragrant Clothes!”

Warda, witnessing the situation deteriorate, called for help, “Guards! Get this woman out of here!”

Several bodyguards rushed in from outside, but they were intercepted by Remington and Adam.

Warda and Mizey tried to grab Cecelia’s lighter, but they were too slow. Cecelia had already ignited the Fragrant Clothes.

The Fragrant Clothes rapidly caught fire, emitting black smoke and a pungent odor. The front-row guests could smell it.

Cecelia quickly removed the burning garment from the model, throwing it onto the floor and sneering, “Is this what your Songo Fragrant Clothes have come to? Soaking synthetic fabric in perfume to pass it off as genuine Fragrant Clothes? Have the Songo family fallen this far?”

Cecelia’s accusation was an outright slap in the face of the Songo family. Discarding the Fragrant Clothes was akin to trampling the Songo family’s reputation into the ground.

The audience erupted in a commotion.

Who could have anticipated such a scene at the well-organized product launch of the Songo family, where their Fragrant Clothes were proven fake?

This woman had come to challenge them, and her actions were audacious.

She had ruined their product launch and tarnished the Songo Fragrant Clothes!

“You’re deliberately defaming the Songo family!” Mizey was so enraged that she wanted to rush at Cecelia, but Remington appeared in time, shielding Cecelia and pushing Mizey away.

With him around, he wouldn’t let anyone harm Cecelia.

Mizey staggered back, and Warda caught her. He then looked at Cecelia and said, “Miss, the Songo family has no beef with you. Why are you scheming to sabotage our product launch? Who are you, exactly?”
