On the highly anticipated stage, two bottles of perfumes with distinct styles but equally exquisite were placed side by side.
The contrasting colors of fiery red and warm yellow slowly flowed in delicate transparent porcelain bottles, unexpectedly catching everyone's eyes with an unstoppable force.
As everyone gazed at them, an inexplicable restlessness surged through their veins, and some even struggled to restrain themselves from screaming.
"Ah--"
"It's so beautiful!"
"What does this mean? How can there be two second places? Who is the champion?"
"I don't know why, but seeing these two perfumes together makes me happy yet also somewhat melancholic..."
"Me too, they're really gorgeous. Compared to the feeling and momentum that these two perfumes give off, those other ones earlier were nothing!"
"Why am I so upset? My nose is tingling, and I feel so warm, but I also want to cry..."
Adeline and Leah's expressions froze as they saw this scene.
Their already tense nerves became even more strained.
Adeline's face suddenly darkened as she clenched her fingers. She was only second place?
Impossible!
Ghost only pointed out these five perfumes, so the champion must be among these five.
Ghost will personally award the champion this year, so she can't settle for second place.
The champion must be hers!
And only hers!
Adeline bit her lip, her eyes revealing an unwavering determination, ready to protest against being tied for second place.
Leah was also stunned when she saw the two perfumes together.
Then, an unexpected panic swept over her, making her feel restrained, trembling, and extremely uneasy.
But no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out where this inexplicable fear came from. She could only put it aside and focus on the current situation.
If she and Adeline tied for second place, then who is the first place?
Amidst a deafening scream, Leah suddenly turned to Selena with a poisonous gaze.
Could it be that the champion... really Selena?
When this thought entered her mind, Leah shuddered, feeling a dense chill spreading across her spine.
How could Selena become more powerful than her mother in such a short time?
It's impossible...
This absolutely cannot be!
Leah comforted herself in her heart, picked up the glass of water on the table and drank two gulps forcefully, barely calming her emotions.
Lady Nevaeh's reputation in the world of perfumery was something that Lady Nevaeh had heard of.
Selena was only nineteen years old and she could never surpass her mother's achievements!
After thinking this way, Leah's uneasiness faded, but she stared at Selena with a malicious and smug look.
She didn't believe that Selena wouldn't feel upset if she won the trophy with Lady Nevaeh's fragrance formula.
Three years ago, when she showed off the championship trophy in front of her, she was so sad and devastated that she almost died.
This time, she would make sure that Selena would witness her receiving the honor.
Unless Selena was a dead person, she could not possibly sit still.
