Time goes back to a few minutes ago.
In the banquet hall.
The Perfume Association has been eagerly looking forward to Selena's appearance ever since they witnessed her perfumery skills firsthand and learned that she is Lady Nevaeh's daughter.
But after waiting for a long time, all the other perfumers came except Selena, who hadn't shown up yet.
The chairman paced anxiously for two rounds, remembering that Mr. Jenkins and his group, who were eagerly anticipating their arrival, were still seated on the second floor. He asked his assistant, "What did Lady Selena say when you called her earlier?"
After all, Selena has a history of being banned, and the perfume organization had openly offended her before, coupled with the recent public opinion these few days...
Leia will hold a grudge against them, which doesn't seem strange at all.
The assistant was embarrassed, "The call was answered by Lady Selena's assistant, and the other party was very impolite in their speech..."
Seeing the president's face grow increasingly dark, he quickly added, "But she said that Lady Selena will definitely come to the banquet."
The president glanced at the second floor and thought to himself that if Selena didn't come soon, they would have to go invite her personally.
Just as he was thinking this, an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Help!!"
The crisp and loud voice of the young girl immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
Everyone looked up and saw a 17-18 year old Leia running in from outside the door.
She was holding a beckoning cat doll in her hands, her large tea-black eyes filled with anxiety. Pointing outside, she had a frightened expression, almost on the verge of tears, and said, "There's a jerk... bullying Lady Selena..."
After a few seconds of silence, Patrick, who was originally standing in the corner and looking down without knowing what he was thinking, suddenly looked up and briskly walked towards the direction pointed out by Leia.
The group from the Perfume Association, upon realizing the situation, quickly hurried out to follow.
The perfumers present looked at each other hesitantly for a moment before following suit.
They don't like Selena, so they take pleasure in watching her make a fool of herself.
Leah's face darkened and she bit her lip tightly.
Others may not know, but she is aware.
Selena's assistant is terrifyingly skilled, and an ordinary person would be no match for her.
How could such a person leave Selena behind and run for help alone when facing danger?
Leah had an extremely bad premonition in her heart.
She watched Dominic anxiously chasing after her with a look of concern on his face, and she suppressed her resentment and malice, only able to lift her feet and follow after him.
Selena heard footsteps and froze in her tracks, pausing in her actions of pushing.
Ghost whispered in Selena's ear, "If your boyfriend has any issues, tell him to come find me," and chuckled lowly.
Selena's face turned white.
The group of people who had just arrived on the scene were also stunned by the situation in front of them.
Beatrix was seen lying on the ground, looking disheveled with blood all over her mouth and a terrifying expression on her face.
Not far away, stood a man in black clothes, his slim hands gently holding the beautiful young girl in his arms, soothing her tenderly.
Selena leaned against the man's chest, her slender white fingers clutching his shirt tightly, as if she was terrified.
The scene, combined with the assistant's words just now, quickly gave rise to some conjecture when viewed by others.
Beatrix intended to harm Selena, so Selena asked her assistant for help. However, while calling for help, she was coincidentally bumped into by Ghost, who then attacked and beat her.
The group of perfumers who came over specifically to see Selena being ridiculed were caught off guard when they saw Selena being embraced by ghost. The expressions of schadenfreude on their faces were instantly frozen.
They had thought that they would be able to see Selena in a miserable scene if they followed her, but they did not expect that Ghost would be here.
Moreover, judging from the situation, it is clearly a scene of "hero saving beauty."
Damn it!
Why is Selena always so lucky to have Ghost save her again and again?
A group of women who were truly jealous to the point of feeling the pain deep in their hearts.
Adeline glared fiercely at Selena, her hair standing on end with anger.
Upon seeing this scene, Leah's face instantly turned extremely unpleasant.
She looked at Beatrix, whose mouth was full of blood, and felt dizzy.
What should she do to execute her plan if this man is invalidated?
He then heard the sound of relief in Dominic's voice upon hearing that Selena was unharmed, which made his jealousy reach an unprecedented level.
The most unpleasant facial expressions were those of the members of the Perfume Association.
The president angrily shouted at Beatrix, "Why are you here?"
The members of the Perfume Association are all in the hall. They didn't see Beatrix just now and thought that she didn't come to avoid suspicion.
However, to their surprise, he actually appeared late at night and went out alone to intercept Selena.
Then, in light of the recent scandal of Selena allegedly seducing the judges to cheat...
In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Beatrix carried a hint of peculiarity.
Beatrix opened her mouth to speak, but with each movement, blood oozed out continuously.
He trembled as he raised his hand and pointed at Selena and ghost with a face full of resentment. He was about to say something when Leia suddenly rushed over and kicked him.
"You bastard, how dare you bully Lady Selena!"
"How dare you disgust her!"
"How dare you threaten her!"
"How dare you scare her!"
"How dare you have improper thoughts about her!"
Leia kicked wildly and randomly, aiming for the most painful spots on Beatrix's body. Beatrix's face twisted in pain.
Leah was afraid that Beatrix would really be disabled, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said softly, "Selena, your assistant is a professional bodyguard who even Dominic cannot beat... if she continues to fight, she may end up killing Mr. Mitchell. You should stop her quickly."
Upon hearing Leah's words, the crowd on site was once again stunned.
All eyes turned to Leia.
Is this a professional bodyguard?
As a professional bodyguard, why would he be afraid enough to abandon Selena and run out to seek help?
Adeline sneered, "Lady Selena has professional bodyguards to protect her. How could she be afraid enough to seek help from Mr. Ghost? Could it be a premeditated act of calling out for help to divert attention?"
Leia narrowed her big eyes slightly, pointed at Leah and Adeline, and said loudly, "You two bad women, always slandering and bullying Lady Selena whenever you have the chance. Your hearts are so malicious, be careful to face retribution in the future!"
Leah had long known that Leia despised her, but upon hearing those words, she was able to maintain a poker face.
Adeline's face turned black with a retort, "I am only stating my doubts based on facts, where have I slandered her?"
She looked at Selena with a proud expression and said indignantly, "Mr. Mitchell is well-respected and has a high reputation. He even made a video to clear Selena's name. How could he possibly have any intention of bullying her?"
She looked at Ghost and poured out her jealousy in a sneer, "Maybe she's using a new method of seducing the judges, specifically waiting for Mr. Ghost to pass by and trap Mr. Mitchell intentionally, putting on an act to gain favor from Mr. Ghost."
