Chapter 238: Chance To Prove The Innocence

Everyone in the hall understood it, but at the same time, they were reminded of a child perfume prodigy who was famous in the past. No one truly remembered who that was except for few people who watched the competition that year. Their memories were filled with Natalie being proven as a plagiarist, who plagiarised from her sister Briena who was claimed to be Aroma.

The reporters present, now aware of the past and present of Natalie’s life—having had to dig it up due to her sudden popularity and the numerous scandals surrounding her—were all shocked and filled with questions.

Sensing the rush, Mia spoke into the mic. "My reporter friends, I know you all have so many questions to ask. But please remain seated. Whatever you want to ask, you can do so from your place instead of rushing toward the stage and causing inconvenience to my esteemed guests."

The guests didn’t mind the reporters asking questions, as they were curious to know as well.

"Ms. Natalie, what Ms. Taylor just said, is it true? Are you Aroma?" a reporter asked, and everyone’s gazes fixated on Natalie.

Mia handed her friend the mic.

"Yes, I am Aroma, that child perfume prodigy you all once heard about," Natalie replied.

With this revelation, those who were aware of what happened during the perfume competition years ago began whispering among themselves.

"But during the perfume competition in the past, where you were a part of it as well, wasn’t it proven that your half-sister, Ms. Briena Ford, is Aroma?" a reporter asked. "While you were disqualified from the competition due to plagiarism?"

Natalie remained unfazed and righteous. "Didn’t just a while ago, one person blatantly claim to own my perfume formula in front of you all?" Natalie countered the question.

"You mean, your sister Briena claimed your title as Aroma?" another reporter asked.

"Do I really need to say more now?" Natalie replied.

The reporters were now well aware of Natalie’s habit of leading them toward the truth with her remarks, without directly saying anything herself.

"Do you have proof that you are Aroma and not your sister?" a reporter asked.

"Not yet," Natalie replied without hesitation.

"Then how can you claim it without any proof? Do you think you can use today’s incidents to direct everyone’s opinion in your favor and make them believe you are Aroma?" another reporter pressed. "Back then, the perfume competition committee itself identified Briena Ford as Aroma. Are you accusing them of making a mistake when they had all the proof?"

"Back then, I was powerless and too young to fight against the injustice that happened to me, but not now," Natalie said to the reporters. "You all will find out the truth soon."

"How are you going to prove it?" a reporter asked.

"If I reveal my plan, wouldn’t it be like informing my enemies in advance?" Natalie smirked. "Are you truly confident in the questions you ask, or do you take me for an idiot?"

Other reporters chimed in. "Yes, we challenge you and will accept the truth you say. We will even bow to you."

"Who are you? Some kind of judges from the Supreme Court that I need your approval?" Natalie asked.

Mia stepped forward and said, "No questions related to Natalie being Aroma will be answered. As Natalie said, she will reveal the truth when she feels it’s the right time. Now, we must focus on carrying this event forward as planned and give our guests what they are here for. The rest of the questions related to this perfume launch and today’s unfortunate events will be answered after the event is over. Till then, my journalist friends, please be patient and enjoy the event."

"Last question?" a reporter said. "For you, Ms. Mia."

"Go ahead," Mia agreed and waited for him to ask.

"How are you going to deal with what Ms. Faye said—that Mrs. Amelia Brown had tried to frame you and Natalie?" the reporter asked.

Mia looked at Daniel, who came to her and took the mic. He looked at the reporters and said, "We will have this entire matter investigated thoroughly and won’t go easy on our opponent. We will let everyone out there know what can happen if you try to conspire against us. There will be no mercy, and maximum charges will be filed against them."

’Against us?’ These words stuck in everyone’s mind. Was Daniel implying NextEra and Mia’s company as ’Us’?

This simple words ultimately provided the strong support and power to Mia’s company, as well to Natalie.

The reporters got their answers and stopped asking questions. The emcee resumed his role, and the event continued from where it had been stopped.
