"I declare that I am officially withdrawing from this year's international fragrance competition, and--"
"I will never participate again in the future!"
For a moment, in the silent arena, everyone thought they were hallucinating.
Otherwise... how could they hear such unbelievable words?
Selena voluntarily withdrew from the competition and announced that she was permanently leaving the fragrance world...
On the stage, all the perfumers looked up at the woman standing there in her grandeur and dignity, staring at her incredulously.
Even those who didn't like Selena couldn't deny her talent!
Anyone who paid even attention to the domestic fragrance competition in H country knew how excellent "Mother" was.
Nevaeh represented an entire era of the fragrance world, but Selena was even more spiritual than her mother.
Losing Selena would be a huge loss for the entire fragrance world...
At this moment, those who truly loved fragrance from the bottom of their hearts could not express their indescribable horror.
"Lady Selena!" Alice was the first to stand up, her voice changing due to her anxiety.
Lancelot, who had been standing on the stage behind the backdrop, also turned pale with shock. He looked at Selena and said and seriously, "Lady Selena, please don't hurt yourself for those despicable people."
And almost everyone in the audience widened their eyes in an instant, followed by a terrifying scream.
"Don't do it! Selena, don't withdraw from the competition! I absolutely won't watch the fragrance world without you!!"
"Ah! Lady Nevaeh has made such a great contribution to the fragrance world. Isn't it your obligation to help her get justice? Lady Selena just wants to get justice for her mother's formula, why do you keep helping that garbage Leah, stopping her and making things difficult for her? Garbage fragrance world! Garbage judges! Garbage smearers!!"
"Don't do it!!! Lady Selena, if there is no you in the H country fragrance world, who else will help us win the championship?"
Everyone in the H country fragrance organization was shocked and jumped up. Mr. Jenkins took several steps forward in shock.
"Selena!"
Selena looked at the old man and comforted him calmly, "Mr. Jenkins, I have never said that I like perfumery."
"My only purpose in participating in the fragrance competition has always been to expose Leah, who is deceiving the world, and snatch back my mother's formula from her!"
"The era of Nevaeh has passed... It shouldn't be my responsibility!"
"You are old, it's time to rest. There will always be someone who will surpass Nevaeh and become the new hope of the H country." Selena spoke softly and lowered her eyelashes.
Her mission was on the battlefield. Instead of letting these old seniors place their hopes on her and eventually be disappointed, it was better to speak out early.
Disappointment that hasn't started yet is better than disappointment that comes after investing time and hope.
Mr. Jenkins met Selena's cold and penetrating gaze, and the sharpness in his eyes seemed to dissipate in an instant.
He knew well that Selena was not the kind of person who would say such things out of spite.
Although she was a woman, her magnanimity and nobility were evident. Perhaps she had already thought of these words long ago.
Even if Leah's incident didn't happen today, she would still say it after the competition ended.
Mr. Jenkins just didn't understand.
Even if Selena didn't like perfumery, there was no need to completely sever ties with the perfumery industry.
This kind of approach that leaves no room for retreat seemed to have other reasons.
Thinking about the things that happened to the Turner family in the past and the premature death of Nevaeh, he suddenly seemed to have glimpsed something...
Mr. Jenkins was suddenly shocked, but in the end, he just waved his hand indifferently and said, "Forget it."
