Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Confession

Natalie sighed in boredom, stood up, and went to the table. Her sleeves were already folded, and she was ready. Once more, everyone present—even the media people—prepared to capture her properly as she skillfully made the perfume. It was like watching living art.

Though Faye was annoying, because of her, they could witness this blissful moment of perfume making again.

Natalie finished making the perfume, offered it to the judges, and then handed another bottle to Faye this time. "You saw, I used the same chemicals as you."

The judges, as well as Faye, tested it, and it was the same perfume. The three judges assured everyone it was the same, and even Faye could not deny it.

"I will try making it again then. You must have tampered with the bottles I was going to fill the perfume in," Faye said with confidence and went to the table to create the perfume.

All the people, somewhat irritated with Faye’s behavior, had already started doubting her. But since it was about finding the truth, everyone waited patiently to see the end of this free drama.

Faye finished making the perfume. This time, she didn’t pour it into the perfume bottles, as she doubted they had been tampered with. She made sure to smell it herself. With full confidence that she had done everything right, she brought it to her nose and smelled it, only to—

Cough! Cough!

Once again, the result was the same. From her reaction, everyone understood it already. The judges stepped back, unwilling to smell that scent even by chance.

Faye’s expression distorted as she glared at Natalie. "What did you do this time?"

"What could I have done?" Natalie asked, raising a brow.

Agitated, Faye went to Shawn and grabbed the file from him—the same file that contained the formula. With a panicked gaze, she scrutinized the formula as she mumbled, "I followed the same formula. Why is the result different?"

Forgetting what her next words might cause her, Faye looked at Natalie. "This is the wrong formula, isn’t it? The perfume you launched today is not made with this formula and you also used that other formula, right?"

"Are you sure you want to ask me this after you clearly confirmed that this is the formula you made that creates exactly the same scent as the perfume launched today?" Natalie replied. "Didn’t you claim it was your precious creation and that you could never forget it or be wrong about it? I’m sure if this is your formula, you must have created it after so many trials and errors and then finalized it, isn’t it?"

Faye felt a loss for words. "I... I indeed created it..."

"But you happened to forget it," Natalie said. "You are free to make the perfume while looking at the formula. Go ahead."

"I won’t," Natalie said. "Only for the sake of the truth coming out in front of everyone, I won’t sue you. You yourself know it’s my creation, so you better take mercy when I’m showing it to you."

Faye knew she was already doomed, so Natalie’s offer was indeed better. If Natalie sued her, she would definitely lose everything in life.

"I... I admit that this perfume formula is not my creation," Faye said as she cried.

Everyone heard it. Though some were shocked, most had already expected this outcome and saw Faye as nothing more than an idiotic creature.

"Why did you do it?" Natalie asked.

Faye continued to cry. "I just followed someone’s instructions. They assured me that I could take revenge on you for your strict treatment towards me as my boss, and that I could use this perfume in my name and earn money."

"Name the person," Natalie ordered. "Tell everything clearly, or I won’t hesitate to go back on my words about not suing you. We don’t have an entire day to hear your answers in pieces." _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Everyone in the event hall agreed with Natalie, as their patience was wearing thin as well, and they waited to hear the full truth. No one dared to make a sound.
