Adeline looked disgruntled and said, "Even if her perfume-making technique is better than mine, it doesn't mean that the perfume she makes is better than mine!"
Mollie lightly retorted, "Why not? At least from the aspect of skills, Selena is more talented than you, works harder than you, and has a better temperament than you."
"You have never seen the perfume she creates, so how dare you be so confident that a perfumer with such outstanding skills cannot compare to you, the previous champion?"
The so-called arrogance based on talent is targeted at those who are weaker than oneself. If in fact Selena is more excellent than you, then your behavior is not arrogance based on talent, but rather a lack of appreciation for what is good.
Adeline was suspected of something and her face turned pale, but she couldn't come up with a refutation.
And the other perfumers were also stunned.
Mandy and Hazel, who have already been expelled from the Olympus Group, have even paler faces.
If Selena is truly more talented and stronger than all of them, then their confidence, discontent, and doubts from before would all become a joke, wouldn't it?
Mollie lowered her gaze, glanced around the room, and slowly said, "I really don't understand where all of you get the confidence to think you're better than Selena?"
She snorted and said, "We, a group of old folks, felt a huge sense of crisis and pride when we saw her fragrance blending skills."
"Mr. Ghost, who made 'God', has shown special attention to her several times. Have you ever thought about the reason behind it?"
"A formidable opponent stands before you, yet you not only fail to sense the imminent danger but also dare to feel embarrassed and reluctant to associate with her, intending to expel her from the fragrance competition... This is simply the biggest joke in the history of the fragrance industry!"
The perfumers who criticized Selena seemed as if they had just been slapped hard in the face, their faces turned pale.
Before today, everyone was drawn to Selena's scandal, even if they witnessed Selena's skilled perfumery techniques, jealousy and disgust still dominated their first senses.
None of them has ever paid attention to her ability.
Mollie's words were almost equivalent to telling everyone outright that the Perfume Association values Selena's potential.
All of them combined, including Adeline, cannot compare to one Selena!
Doesn't that announcement already explain everything?
Adeline's face was particularly unpleasant, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Does Ghost treat Selena differently because he feels that Selena is quite strong in her abilities?
While Leah felt jealous, she also had a strong sense of crisis rising within her heart.
Absolutely dare to destroy Selena before the awards ceremony!
Otherwise, if Selena was given the chance to climb up, she would be the unlucky one!
Selena looked down at the unattractive faces of the perfumers with a calm gaze, and sighed as if regretful, and smiled, "Mollie, you gave me my real name too early. You should have let Miss Watts and others think that I'm just a worthless person who relies on my connections to make a fool of myself..."
She smiled playfully and said, "When the winner of tomorrow's championship comes out, their faces will definitely be much more brilliant than they are now."
Mollie was amused, "Oh, this little affected behavior is really cute. Good girl, come closer to me.."
Adeline's hair stood up in anger as she coldly chuckled, "Selena, don't be too proud too soon. The championship will definitely be mine!"
She raised her chin and coldly said, "Even if I don't know what despicable means you used to get these judges to support you, you can never beat me!"
After Adeline finished speaking, Selena hadn't reacted yet, but Mollie's face turned cold. "Miss Watts, what do you mean by that? Are you insinuating that I am also being accused of favoring a cheating athlete?"
After Adeline finished speaking, she realized that her wording was not appropriate. She met Mollie's cold, questioning eyes but still kept her chin up, unwilling to apologize.
As is well known, although judges play an important role in fragrance competitions, they are not the ultimate determining factor.
The champion perfume created in the end will also be subject to a vote by all perfumers present on the scene.
The bottle that remains on the champion's podium last must be an existence that impresses everyone.
Moreover, the perfume association, as a group of old veterans, is notorious for being stubborn. They may have a preference for Selena's techniques, but they would never compromise the fairness of the competition.
Mollie looked at Adeline and said in a cold voice, "I might as well tell you straight up that we are not happy with your method of threatening the Perfume Group by forming an alliance. However, we old folks are not petty enough to deliberately target any one of you."
"The existence of the Fragrance Association is to provide a platform and a stepping stone for more perfumers to prove their strength and enable them to step into the world."
"Strength is the only pass in our place, and in the eyes of us old folks, we cannot tolerate those shady and noxious things."
"Put away all your tricks, if anyone secretly does something again, the perfume organization will never accept her again!"
On-site perfumers remembered the recent waves of events, some showing dissatisfaction while others shamefully lowered their heads.
Mandy stared in a daze as Selena stood aloft with a calm expression. Suddenly, she regretted not standing with Selena before.
This woman seems to have never been defeated...
Mollie finished speaking and took Selena's hand, smiling and said, "Come on, let Mollie take you to meet some people. Those old fellows will be delighted to see her skills."
"It has been many years, and the fragrance industry has not seen such a good talent."
With a variety of expressions from the people around, Mollie led Selena up to the second floor.
Adeline saw Selena being carried away by a group of judges and stars, which almost made her want to scream with anger.
She glanced over at Patrick, who stood in the corner silent and reserved, and after biting her lip, she suddenly spoke up and asked, "Mr. Turner, are you really willing to just stand there and let Selena step all over you while she flaunts her power over me and you?"
She was the champion of the previous term, and Patrick is one year ahead of her.
Patrick would be the strongest contender for the championship among all the perfumers present.
Patrick stared at Selena's retreating figure until he couldn't see her anymore. Only then did he withdraw his gaze, gave her a faint glance, and said, "If she is stronger than me, why not?"
Adeline choked up slightly.
If Selena is really better than them, why should they not be resentful of her winning the championship and walking all over them?
On regular days, isn't she also like this, stepping on those who have lost to her?
"Mr. Turner, my sister is not as simple as she appears on the surface," a gentle voice suddenly came from behind.
