"I was serious about the competition from beginning to end, I..." Leah choked up, looking at Dominic with a hint of sorrow in her eyes.
Dominic suddenly paused, immediately remembering Mr. Walson's warning.
Selena would never let Leah easily take the runner-up spot. She would do something to hinder her, and he must protect Leah no matter what.
Dominic felt sorry for Selena and guilty for what he had done, but those things were in the past, and Selena had already avenged herself.
Beatrix and Georgia's actions were exposed in front of everyone, and the two of them would not be able to escape imprisonment.
Even if he wanted to compensate Selena now, it was too late, and Selena would not care about his compensation.
For the sake of his future, he had to side with Leah.
Dominic took a deep breath and said calmly, "Without evidence, it's better for everyone to be cautious with their words."
Selena looked at Leah with a hint of satisfaction and smiled faintly.
To everyone's surprise, she did not insist on the matter but said, "Since there are no more questions about what happened three years ago, let's continue with the award ceremony."
Not just Leah, but everyone present was stunned.
Obviously, no one had expected Selena, who had a fiery temper, to be so lenient.
Although she did not say anything significant, everyone could tell that Selena still had something on her mind.
"Lady Selena..."
"She's not going to pursue this matter any further? Even if Georgia takes the blame, we're not fools. We know someone was specifically targeting Selena. She is too malicious!"
"Without evidence, it's really a pity for Selena. If it weren't for that incident three years ago, she would have shone on the international stage, not that shameless Leah!"
"That's right! After this competition, the perfume organization must compensate Lady Selena. She can't be blamed for so long for nothing!"
Before the award ceremony began, an important procedure had to be carried out.
To ensure fairness and motivate and console those who did not win, the winning perfumes would be publicly displayed for the more than thirty perfumers to appreciate.
Soon, Beatrix was carried off the stage by hospital staff, Georgia was taken away by the police, and Selena's witnesses were also back in the audience.
The award-winning perfumes were arranged on the stage in order of ranking.
From second place to tenth place, the winners took their positions, but Selena's perfume was still held by Ghost, and no one dared to ask for it from him.
As a last resort, the staff had to turn to Selena for help.
Selena paused, looked at the empty champion's spot, and walked towards the judges' table.
She walked up to Ghost, extended her hand towards him, and said, "Mr. Ghost, please give me back my perfume."
This was the perfume she had promised to give to Osvaldo. Why should it be held by another man?
Ghost's gaze covered her, clearly seeing her unfriendly expression, and asked in a low voice, "Do you intend to let them all smell your perfume?"
Selena thought for a moment. It didn't matter to her, but this was supposed to be a gift for her boyfriend.
According to Osvaldo's cleanliness, it would feel imperfect if more than thirty people had sniffed it and then given it to him...
Selena smiled slightly and said, "Of course not."
Ghost couldn't help but laugh out loud and returned the perfume to her.
Selena took her work and lowered her long eyelashes, smiling with joy.
Then she lifted the bottle cap, and her slender fingers made a beautiful flower-like gesture in the air, seemingly twisting out a warm yellow fragrance from the bottle's mouth.
