If it were usual, Adeline would surely leave with pride and resentment.
After all, she has already won the championship in domestic competitions, so winning another one would not be significant.
But this year, Ghost will personally present the championship award, and Patrick will also be there...
Both of these men are from prestigious families. How could she be willing to give up the opportunity to get close to them?
Adeline sneered, "Even if we don't add fuel to the fire, Selena is still a cheater who seduces judges, isn't she? With this recording, she is destined to be inferior to me for the rest of her life, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, unable to turn over!"
If Adeline can still suppress the jealousy in her heart, Leah is almost going crazy with anger.
Damn it! She originally thought that with that recorded sound, the collaboration of insiders and outsiders, and the support of that group of fragrance makers, they would definitely be able to drive Selena out of the fragrance competition.
However, it was unexpected that the Perfume Association would rather give up all of them than to lose Selena.
Leah was shaking with anger, her eyes showing a mix of urgent rage and jealousy, driving her to madness.
Every time when she thought she had carefully planned to finally bring Selena down, someone would always step up to defend her.
Selena is specifically here to take her down!
Leah couldn't hold it in any longer, she screamed and smashed the vase in the room.
A tremendous sound startled Dominic in the next room.
Dominic knocked on the door and asked, "Leah, what's wrong?"
Leah supported herself on the table with both hands, her face contorted. Upon hearing the voice of Dominic, the man who had become her fiancé, she couldn't help but think of Selena in her heart.
She gave a sneering laugh, but her eyes gradually became calm, with a chilling glint of malevolence.
After a moment, she composed herself and walked over to open the door, saying in a calm tone, "It's okay, I just accidentally broke the vase in the room."
Dominic looked at her with a gentle yet remorseful expression as she lowered her head, his heart filled with apologies. "Leah..."
He opened his mouth, wanting to comfort, but he didn't know what to say.
Leah chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I still have to attend the dinner later. If there is nothing else, I'll go back and rest now."
Dominic frowned slightly as he looked at her distant and cold expression.
Since he stood by and did nothing regarding Mrs. Riddle, Leah's attitude towards him has become ambiguous.
Dominic understands it, but he does not regret it.
So in the end, he just lifted his hand and patted Leah's shoulder, "Go rest well."
Leah's lips curved into a bitter smile.
How could she not hear the disappointment and worry in his tone when Dominic was so close to her?
Only Dominic knows whether these frustrations and worries belong to her or to Selena.
Leah remembered the fragrance association's blatant defense of Selena, and suddenly a huge resentment rose in her heart.
She lifted her head and looked at Dominic with a pale face, smiling, "Dominic, have you heard that recording on Weibo?"
Dominic suddenly met her icy gaze and furrowed his brow, "Leah..."
Leah gave a wry smile and said sadly, "Dominic, tell me, what do you think? Don't you believe that Selena would seduce the judges?"
Dominic's face darkened and his tone was firm, "She won't!"
Three years ago, Selena, who was only sixteen and was not yet an adult, was at the peak of her love for him.
Dominic doesn't believe that Selena would seduce the judges to enter the competition.
He had indeed treated Selena badly before, but no one else could understand Selena's feelings for him better than him.
How could Selena possibly seduce the judges when she likes him so much that she's willing to risk her life to protect her innocence for him?
So, Dominic spoke out for the first time so decisively to defend Selena.
But it made Leah hate her even more. Her gentle voice became sharper, "Why is it impossible? It's obvious that the recording of her seducing the judges has been released and everyone knows that she was banned from competing for three years..."
"The recording only mentioned that she went to the judges for something, but did not directly say that she went to seduce the judges!" Dominic looked at Leah with a hint of condemnation in his eyes.
"Leah, you forgot how Selena escaped from the group of thugs that your mother sent to destroy her, but I can't forget it."
Leah suddenly stiffened but laughed more resentfully, "Then you forgot how she treated Angie so cruelly, didn't you?"
Dominic's face darkened slightly. He certainly hadn't forgotten, and he resented Selena's cruelty.
He couldn't deny the fact that Angie was indeed in the wrong in that matter.
Dominic looked at her with a calm face and said, "Leah, I know you hold a grudge against Selena because of what happened to your mother. But we can't deny that your mother and Angie were in the wrong for provoking Selena to be so ruthless towards them..."
When Leah heard Dominic's words, she almost couldn't maintain her gentle image.
In the past, whenever she was slightly unhappy, there were men who would help her to criticize Selena. However, even after Selena sent her mother to jail and almost killed his sister, she unexpectedly went back to help Selena speak up.
Leah was furious and said in a rage, "But the recording is real, it must be Selena -"
"Enough!"
Dominic interrupted her and surprisingly spoke harshly to her, "The dinner is about to start, go back and rest."
After speaking, he turned around and walked away.
Leah watched as Dominic turned and walked away, tears welled up in her eyes and the hatred in her heart almost overflowed.
Do you just believe that Selena is innocent like that?
Unfortunately, soon everyone will know that Selena's so-called innocence is a joke!
Leah wiped away her tears, turned around and went back to her room to do her makeup and change into different clothes.
Tonight, she will definitely not let Selena step on her head again!
Selena has rested enough and finally ready to take action.
She stood up and said to Leia, "Let's go out and buy something early."
Leia curiously asked, "Madam, are we going to buy gifts for young master?"
Selena gave a mysterious smile and said, "You'll know later."
She returned to her room, changed her clothes, put on some makeup, and walked out looking bright and beautiful. She took Leia with her and left.
Leia drove the car to the nearest shopping mall, and Selena found a belt store. Despite the stunned stares of onlookers, she calmly walked in.
Madam buys a belt for the young master...
Master will be happy, right?
Leia followed along and saw Selena walk around inside before raising her hand and pointing in a direction.
"I want that one."
