Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Such A Shameless Bitch “These two bottles are the samples provided by Aroma Delight and Prosperian Company respectively.

Mr. Brown, you can try to differentiate between them,” said Seraphina.

Seraphina raised both hands so that everyone present could see the bottles in her hand.

“So what if there is a difference or no difference?” Julian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

Then he continued disapprovingly, “Even the judges have said that the samples’ ingredients and taste are very similar. What does this prove?”

“It can prove why the winner is Aroma Delight,” Seraphina continued. “Didn’t you insist that I stole the work of Prosperian Company, Mr. Brown? Since I stole it, there must be a difference between my work and the original creation. Of course, the original is of better quality. Since you feel unfair, this is the best chance to prove it in front of your peers and the media,” Seraphina said.

She had always been smiling gently and speaking softly. Many people were prejudiced against Seraphina because of her history, but at this moment, they couldn’t say harsh words in front of her smile.

Julian frowned and looked at Seraphina, wondering what she was up to.

He mused, ‘What on earth has happened to Seraphina today? Why does she want to make such a scene here? Why does she suddenly disobey me?’

“Oh, Mr. Brown is not a professional perfumer after all, so it’s reasonable to be unsure. However, since Ms. Garcia said that First Love was made by her, it’s impossible that she can’t tell the difference, right?”

Seraphina suddenly said meaningfully, turning her head and looking at Vivian, who was standing behind Julian.

Holding the glass tightly, Vivian suppressed her panic.

Vivian knew exactly how First Love was created.

Seraphina suddenly came here and asked Vivian to tell the difference between the two samples, which really confused Vivian.

Vivian pursed her lips and said, “Today’s competition has been ruined to some extent. It’s not decent for either Aroma Delight or Prosperian Company. The formula of First Love has been stolen. What’s the point in telling whether the sample is true or fake?

“Seraphina, anyway, we were friends and worked together. Let’s forget about the matter of First Love.”

After saying that, Vivian turned around proudly, holding her dress in one hand, and was about to walk down.

“But what if I don’t want to let it go?” Seraphina suddenly asked.

Her beautiful voice was slightly sarcastic. Seraphina didn’t give Vivian any chance to escape.

Vivian stopped and turned around abruptly, looking at Seraphina with wide eyes.

“Seraphina, don’t go too far!” Julian warned.

In a low voice, Julian turned his head away from the camera and scolded Seraphina impatiently.

“Is that too much?” With a cold smile, Seraphina put the two bottles on the table, unplugged them, and looked around. Then she said aloud, “Everyone, the idea of First Love is based on the subtle feelings between men and women, which is the inspiration. At the same time, I want to remind people of such feelings with this smell.

“Besides the sweet fragrance, it should still be a little bit astringent, but the base note is sweet. The difference between these two is the base note. ”

Some curious onlookers had come forward to smell the samples, and someone tried with test strips but was still puzzled.

“The smells are indeed very similar. It’s not too much to say that they are exactly the same. What’s the difference between the base notes?”

Perfume needed time to volatile, so people had to wait for the base tone. Now everyone’s curiosity was aroused, so they didn’t have patience.

Seraphina smiled and said, “In fact, you have tried the difference between base notes.”

“When did we try?”

Someone suddenly realized it and exclaimed, “It was on her! That smell just now!”

A panic flashed on Vivian’s face, and she realized what that strange smell was!

Then Vivian looked at Seraphina angrily and thought, ‘Did she tamper with the sample of First Love?’

Seraphina looked back at Vivian with a smile, but her eyes were extremely cold.

That was right. Seraphina asked Emily to add another ingredient to the sample so that it would smell like fish in the base note.

Seraphina was sure that Vivian would definitely spray the sample of First Love on herself to catch attention. Seraphina checked the time—the perfume’s base note kicked in at the perfect moment.

“That’s true. No wonder there was a noisome smell just now.”

“I didn’t expect that there would be such a huge difference between the base notes.”

Everyone was discussing, and soon some people raised doubts, “But whether it’s plagiarism or theft, shouldn’t the samples be exactly the same? Why is there such a big difference?”

“It’s obvious that someone was deliberately trying to frame us,” Julian replied.

Julian glanced at Seraphina and then walked to Vivian, saying, “Even if Ms. Garcia made a mistake in spicing, the perfume wouldn’t have such a big problem. Moreover, Ms. Garcia has put a lot of effort into this work and modified it again and again.

“At worst, if it is plagiarism or theft, who would be so stupid to change the formula of the work and make it flawed? So the truth is close. Someone stole First Love’s formula and tampered with our sample to set us up.”

After a pause, Julian looked at Seraphina sharply and continued, “Ms. Jones, I didn’t want to hold you accountable since you’ve worked with us for so many years. But since you wanted to frame us and were so ungrateful, I have to use the law to protect Ms. Garcia’s reputation and mine.

“That’s all for today. I’ll sue you later. As for Aroma Delight, if you insist on covering up for such a thief, I’ll have to sue you too.”

Julian stood there upright. His firm words and confidence made everyone believe that Prosperian Company was really the victim.

“Shameless!”

“The competition should make it clear! How did the judges make their decision?”

“This is ridiculous!”

“Such a person shouldn’t be here! Get out!”

The people were indignant. Even if Aroma Delight’s backer was Apex Corporation, the people couldn’t suppress their anger.

Some reporters couldn’t wait and started a live broadcast to post the shocking news on the platform.

In the VIP room, Dashiell narrowed his eyes and was about to lose his temper.

He had been in the business world for many years, and he had seen a lot of jerks. But it was really rare to see such a shameless person like Vivian.

Looking at Seraphina standing on the stage alone and looking so helpless, Dashiell buttoned up his cuffs and reached out to pull the doorknob.

As soon as Dashiell’s finger touched the door, he heard Seraphina’s sweet and clear voice.

“That’s right. I changed the formula and sample,” said Seraphina.

Dashiell turned his head and saw Seraphina’s slightly raised face on the screen, which was so dazzling in the spotlight.

Seraphina was not flustered and angry at all. Looking at her confident eyes, Dashiell withdrew his hand. Perhaps he should trust her more.
