Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 448

"Then let's speak with facts."
"Three years ago, she was disqualified for three years because you used that recording to determine that she had seduced the judges... Regardless of the truth of this matter," Mr. Jenkins' gaze became more stern, "I ask, what is your reason for forcing her to withdraw from the competition this time?"
The people in the meeting room suddenly froze.
The National Perfume Competition is a grand event, but for those who have already seen various champions and runners-up, an inexperienced perfumer without the qualification is not likely to attract their special attention.
The only thing that matters about Selena to them is that she's from the bloodline of the Riddle family from the capital.
The Miss who bullies others with her power and money indeed makes them afraid and cautious.
However, deep down inside, there are still some dislikes.
So, before this, nobody had seriously taken time to understand Selena, nor had anyone thought about delving deeper into those things concerning her.
Their most vivid impression of Selena is that she seduced the judges and caused trouble for the perfume association multiple times, which brought a lot of public pressure.
Just with these few things, it is enough to make everyone subconsciously have a dislike towards her.
And the reason that forced Selena to withdraw this time was because someone released a recording from three years ago online, which caused public backlash.
In addition to the support of other fragrance designers, the public opinion is getting louder and louder, and it seems that the situation is going out of control.
Under pressure, they finally decided to cancel Selena's eligibility to participate.
However, Selena herself, in this fragrance competition, does not seem to have done anything wrong.
Beatrix struggled to remain composed and explained, "Mr. Jenkins, you don't understand. That Selena woman publicly gave a bottle of perfume to the chief judge, and adding to that the incident from three years ago... there is suspicion that she is incorrigible. That's why the public opinion has been so severe."
"For the sake of the reputation of the Fragrance Association, we had no choice but to make this decision..."
Mr. Jenkins sneered, "Do you think I'm blind? Have I not watched the game video?"
Without giving Beatrix a chance to argue, Mr. Jenkins pointed at the president and said sternly, "You go and release the video of the live match!"
His sharp eyes scanned all the perfumers present, "All you so-called perfumers who stand at the top of the fragrance industry in H Country, open your eyes wide and see clearly how stupid you all are!"
The president dared not disobey, and immediately said, "Okay."
Soon, Selena's competition video was projected onto the screen, and those who had not been present or had not seen Selena were taken aback by the appearance of the bright and noble girl.
And when Selena revealed her technique, the eyes of those perfumers suddenly lit up.
And when they learned the reasons behind Selena gifting ghost perfume, their faces turned white all at once.
No way, can this also be blackened?
After a dead silence.
The perfumers who just supported the disqualification of Selena on the scene lowered their heads with extreme shame.
The President angrily shouted at the people who had arrived at the scene, "Are your eyes blind? Why is nobody talking about her perfume-making skills, only about public opinion, scandals, and corruption?"
That group of people lowered their heads and dared not say much in the midst of everyone's angry condemnation.
There are also some people who did not agree with the decision to disqualify Selena. However, due to the negative impression that Beatrix, the chief judge, had of Selena, they dared not speak out under his firm suppression.
At the moment, some people are looking at Beatrix with a bit of schadenfreude.
Cold sweat was dripping down Beatrix's face at the moment. "President, Selena does have a bad reputation. It's one thing for her to not avoid suspicion, but she went and gave a gift to this year's chief judge. This behavior is ultimately disgusting..."
The president said coldly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with a perfumer sending perfume to her benefactor. On the contrary, because she did it openly and honestly, it proves that she has a clear conscience."
Beatrix reluctantly focused her attention and said, "However, the public opinion is too strong. If we do not cancel her qualification for the competition, the perfumers participating in this year's competition may all leave. Then our perfume organization will become a laughingstock." She spoke with righteous indignation.
The elderly lady in a long skirt snorted coldly and said, "Then let them all go! As a perfumer, if she doesn't even have the most basic sense of hospitality, it's already destined that they won't go far."
"And because of their jealousy and coercion, our perfume organization has to falsely accuse a girl for no reason..." The old lady laughed in frustration, "Do they really think they are so important?"
"We old men and women are not dead yet, so the fragrance industry doesn't need them to swagger."
Tell them, "If they are not happy, then get lost!"
"As for the sensational public opinion on the internet, that is the problem that you should be the most responsible for addressing."
"Strength first, fairness and justice, this is the initial intention of the perfume association's establishment. If we violate the initial intention, what is the meaning of the existence of the perfume association?"
As soon as these words were spoken, no one dared to make a sound on the spot.
Beatrix also humbly lowered his head.
After the old lady in a long skirt finished speaking, she turned to Mr. Jenkins beside her and asked, "Mr. Jenkins, what do you think is the best way to solve this matter?"
Mr. Jenkins gave Beatrix a meaningful glance and said, "Let's follow what Mollie just said and go with the public opinion on the internet."
The president bowed his head and said, "Mollie is right, we all have no objections."
Mr. Jenkins said coldly, "In addition, due to the sensational and unique nature of this matter, all the judges for this year's competition will be replaced except for Ghost."
Everyone was surprised.
"Mr. Jenkins, there really is no need for this," Beatrix said, looking up.
"I think it's very necessary," Mr. Jenkins coldly interrupted him, "of course, to avoid suspicion, I won't go to serve as a judge. This year's judges will be selected by Mollie and the chairman among our group of old guys and the perfume association, to choose a few people to take over."
The old lady in a long skirt smiled and said, "It's rare to see such good talents. We, a group of old folks, also want to join in the fun. Do you mind?"
After careful consideration, the majority of the people in the Perfume Association nodded in agreement.
Beatrix's elegant face almost couldn't maintain its gentle expression.
But under such circumstances, he could only nod in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Jenkins snorted coldly and stood up, "That's it then. As for other matters, we'll talk about them after the results of the perfume competition are announced."
The president and others sent a group of old experts away, and they collectively breathed a sigh of relief only after the people had gone far away.
Inside the hotel, Selena is not aware of Lady Nevaeh's connection to the perfume industry...
