Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 459

Upon hearing Selena's words, Leia's eyes instantly became stern and she immediately cast aside all other thoughts.
Whether to disable Ghost or not is a dilemma that Osvaldo should wrestle with.
Her most important task is to protect Selena!
Leia straightened her expression and followed Selena into the ballroom.
Because all the people in the banquet hall were called to see the excitement by Leia, Selena originally thought that there should be no one inside.
So when she saw that in the center of the venue, a group of people were gathering there and seemed to be angrily reprimanding something, she was slightly taken aback.
The people who suddenly saw her seemed to be stunned.
After a few seconds of silence, the elderly lady in the center of the crowd, wearing a long dress and exuding elegance, suddenly suppressed the anger on her face and revealed a kindly smile, quickly walking over.
"You finally arrived…"
Selena saw the enthusiasm in the old woman's eyes and her gaze swept over the excited faces of the others, suddenly understanding their identities.
On her fair face, a slight smile appeared as she greeted, "Hello, senior."
"The address as senior is being too courteous. Just call me Mollie," Mollie said straightforwardly. She held Selena's hand and looked carefully at her, her eyes slightly red. "Look how pretty you are"
Just like Lady Nevaeh back then.
Selena blinked her eyes, feeling a hint of doubt rising in her heart.
Are these old people's attitudes overly enthusiastic?
Even if her fragrance blending technique is outstanding, she is still a junior who has just started and should not be valued so highly by them.
The other perfumers who followed behind Selena were shocked and furious to see this scene.
"What luck did Selena have?"
The perfumers, a group of elderly predecessors, are known for their arrogance and stubbornness. It is difficult to even meet one of them on a regular day, yet they have all appeared at this year's banquet.
This was originally something that would make all perfumers boast with joy.
After all, this group of people has both status and prestige, and even internationally, they are a well-known presence.
Did you not see that Mandy was almost praised to the skies just for becoming a student of Mr. Nach?
But these old guys are obviously here specifically for Selena.
Their gaze was all focused on Selena, their facial expressions showing both gratification and pride. This was the kind of look that elders give to their most satisfactory younger generation.
Those perfumers stood awkwardly in place, feeling sour and bitter.
Selena has indeed not offended them.
But Selena had no idea how much she was hated.
As Mollie talked to Selena, she obviously noticed the jealous glances others were giving Selena. Suddenly, she stopped displaying her kindness and coldly snorted, "Is everyone here?"
The president stood out among the crowd and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "Mollie, all the perfumers are here."
With a gentle smile, Mollie led Selena to the stage and said, "Now that everyone is here, I'll take the liberty of speaking on behalf of the old folks in the fragrance industry."
The atmosphere quieted down for a moment on site.
All perfumers looked up with resentment and stared at Selena standing next to Mollie, with jealousy filling the room.
Selena became the target of public criticism for no reason and raised an eyebrow in response.
She stood there with a calm complexion, without any extra reaction to the hostility of others present.
She was pondering why the older perfumers treated her differently.
Perhaps three years ago, the news Selena received may not have been false.
In the fragrance industry, there are indeed friends of Lady Nevaeh.
She was just unlucky and met a bastard.
Selena gave a slight gulp and a hint of pity flickered in her eyes.
Mollie held a microphone and looked down at the young faces on the platform, taking in everyone's expressions, and her tone became slightly more stern.
"In the past fragrance competitions, our group of old folks were hardly needed, but this year is very special... I am pleased to see that the fragrance industry has produced so many outstanding talents."
The perfumers, upon hearing Mollie's words, had a slightly better complexion.
But her next sentence made their faces turn ugly again.
"But the things you've caused have made us very unhappy!"
The scene fell into an instant dead silence.
Almost everyone present knew what Mollie was talking about.
Adeline and a dozen other perfumers suddenly blushed, revealing embarrassment and awkwardness on their faces.
Mollie's gaze swept heavily over the faces of every perfumer present, "It is well known that in order to become an excellent perfumer, one must possess a good character. Those with unstable characters are simply not suitable for the job."
"Those perfumers who lack even the most basic capacity for tolerance are unlikely to go too far."
Adeline and those who had once stepped on Selena's toes all had reddened faces, feeling both aggrieved and envious but dared not speak out.
Mollie looked at their faces and said earnestly, "Being outstanding is not a person's fault. If you lose to others because you are not good enough, the right thing to do is to strive harder. Jealousy will only destroy you."
"Do you think the Fragrance Association only values the scents you create?"
In fact, the Perfume Competition has started since the moment each of you entered M City.
"Your mindset, moral character, techniques, actions... all are taken into consideration by the judges when scoring."
"Only when we are sure about a person's moral character, will we consider trying the perfume she has concocted."
"Those who have a dishonest heart, even if you create the best perfume, we will not pay attention."
The whole scene fell into a dead silence.
Those who have stepped on Selena are even more lifeless.
Adeline was extremely dissatisfied and sneered, "Mu senior, while it's true that I threatened the Perfume Association, I was also the champion of the previous session. Just because I have a bit of pride, you want to deny my strength?"
"We never deny anyone's efforts and abilities," Mollie looked at her and said lightly, "on the contrary, the more outstanding people are, the more they have the capital to be proud of their talents. What we admire most are young people who show their sharpness."
Adeline's eyebrows arched with a hint of arrogance, as she heard Mollie continue, "But only if you're not arrogant and don't target the wrong people based on your self-confidence."
Adeline's face showed embarrassment, "What does that mean?"
Mollie asked indifferently, "Let me ask you about the child next to me. His fragrance blending skills are better than yours, but what's the truth?"
Adeline's face stiffened slightly.
This is a fact that all people have witnessed and there is no way to deny it.
