Leah was still in doubt, but when she heard Adeline's shout, her vision went black and her face turned pale instantly.
The other perfumers on stage were also stunned.
Not only the perfumers, but also the audience on site, and all the people watching the live broadcast across the country were stunned.
They stared at Adeline, who was full of cold laughter, pride and anger, with their mouths wide open, and all the cheers and condemnations were stuck in their throats.
The president of the Perfume Association's eyelids twitched heavily. He had been staring at Selena with a serious expression, but now he turned to Adeline and said sharply, "Wait... Miss Watts, what did you say your perfume is called?"
At this moment, Adeline's mind was clouded by anger and she didn't notice the abnormality on the scene. When she heard the president's question, she suppressed the humiliation all over her body, raised her head and stubbornly and aggrievedly sat on Ghost seat in front of the chief judge.
Her expression was melancholy, gentle and proud as she said, "My work, called 'Heartbeat', was specially researched for Mr. Ghost. I hope to present my perfume publicly to him..."
The dead silence spread throughout the venue of the national perfume competition and even in countless live broadcasts.
Adeline's fans looked at their idol with a dazed expression, completely stiffened like wooden stakes.
Selena's fans, on the other hand, looked at Adeline with a look of a complete idiot.
Leah once again experienced the feeling of being thrown from heaven to hell. Her face was full of horror, her body swayed, and she finally fell heavily onto the chair.
Even the perfumers on stage, even those who were silent and did not like to speak, lifted their heads at this moment and stared at Adeline, who was still beautiful and alone, with an incredible look in their eyes.
The air seemed to be stuck in place like frozen tape.
After a long time, a voice as light as a thread sounded.
"F*ck..."
"What the hell is going on..."
"I feel a kind of embarrassment I've never felt before..."
"Is this the champion of the last competition? F*ck... Selena... Selena is really not easy..."
Adeline expressed her love to Ghost with sincerity, but the man never gave her a single glance.
He sat there aloof, like a perfect work of art taken to its extreme, only using his eerie and sinister eyes to stare directly at Selena.
Adeline was both angry and jealous, she lowered her head and directed all her resentment and jealousy at Selena, her eyes full of contempt and her voice hoarse as she shouted, "Selena, you have humiliated me, coveted my champion title, and ruined my reputation. I swear by the reputation of M City's top socialite that I will completely kick you out of the Fragrance Competition and ruin your name!"
Selena looked at Adeline with a powerless look of acceptance, her gaze cold and playful.
It's really not her fault.
Adeline's embarrassing situation was entirely of her own making.
An unprecedented sense of awkwardness swept through every corner of the competition venue.
Some of Adeline's fans couldn't bear to watch their idol make such a fool of herself and quietly reminded her, "Goddess Adeline, turn around and look at the big screen behind you..."
Adeline sneered, full of disdain, and angrily said, "I don't need to look at all, the champion belongs to me. Selena wants to steal my work with despicable means, she doesn't even have a chance!"
Adeline's fans heard her words and their faces turned white one by one.
