"You are far inferior compared to her."
As soon as these words were spoken, the intense atmosphere that had been prevailing on the scene suddenly came to a halt.
Adeline's proud expression suddenly froze on her face, and she looked at Patrick incredulously.
Amid the group's perplexed gazes, Patrick walked up to Selena and extended his hand towards her. "Patrick, Lady Selena, you're fine, don't mind them," he said.
Selena lowered her long eyelashes and looked at the hand that reached out to her in front of her eyes.
Not only did he help her out of the predicament, but he also showed some goodwill.
Just...
Selena lifted her gaze, and her eyes, veiled in a faint mist, turned extremely cold. At the very moment when she raised her head, a somewhat frightening emotion seemed to pass fleetingly through the mind.
She looked at Patrick with a flat tone, "I don't know you."
There is no existence of this person in Selena's memory.
So why did this man suddenly speak up to help her?
Patrick was not angry about her rudeness and indifference. He calmly withdrew his hand and turned his gaze towards the perfumers who had just been watching the show with glee.
The group of people were pierced by his cold gaze, and their faces turned pale and unpleasant one by one.
No one expected that Patrick, who usually has a cold personality, would suddenly stand up for Selena and speak out. It's as if he took the wrong medicine or something.
In one sentence, I helped Selena and viciously slapped all of them in the face.
Especially Adeline, her entire cheeks are hot and painful, burning and aching.
The several perfumers at Olympus Group looked at each other in surprise and suspicion.
Leah's eyes flashed a hint of ferocity.
Damn Selena, why does someone always come out to defend her no matter where she goes?
Dominic looked at Selena and then Patrick with a confused expression, trying to guess their relationship in his mind.
Selena said she didn't know Patrick. So why did this indifferent man suddenly stand up and openly defend her in front of so many people?
This question not only piqued Dominic's curiosity, but also everyone on the spot.
Including Selena herself.
But obviously, Patrick did not have any intention of explaining to everyone. After glancing briefly at those people, he remained silent.
He remained silent, and the young girls in the audience who were fans of Selena finally awakened from the scandal Adeline had brought up. Upon hearing even Patrick praising Selena, they became even more steadfast in their beliefs.
"There must be inside information behind that matter, it is definitely someone deliberately slandering Lady Selena!"
"Is there anything that happened to Lady Selena in the past few months that is true? In the end, all things are exposed as being the scheming of those with malicious intent, deliberately framing Lady Selena. I believe that this matter is definitely false!"
"Definitely! Lady Selena is so beautiful, elegant, powerful, talented, and most importantly, she has a handsome and rich boyfriend…How could she be so misguided to resort to seducing a judge for a perfume competition when she has such a perfect life? Anyone who believes this must have a hole in their head, right?
"Miss Watts, there is no evidence. Please do not speak without evidence. Unless you can provide evidence that Lady Selena seduced the judge, please apologize to Lady Selena for your words and actions just now."
Adeline never expected the situation to turn out like this.
Leah's face turned pale as she looked at the situation before it even escalated, and saw so many people begin to question it. It made her heart ache with anger.
She clenched her fist secretly.
Adeline looked at Patrick, then glanced at Selena, and then looked at the fans who were standing up for Selena. She struggled to maintain her elegance as a socialite on her face.
She looked at Patrick, with a hint of grievance on her face, gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Turner, what I said is true. Three years ago she seduced the judge to cheat, there is conclusive evidence and recorded proof. Many people heard it at the time..."
Patrick's eyes were cold, "Oh, did she finally admit it?"
Adeline choked up.
Did Selena admit it?
She did not.
Three years ago, those who personally experienced the incident knew that Selena did not recognize it.
She still hasn't admitted to that ugly incident until now!
Adeline stuttered and said with a lack of confidence, "But there is recorded evidence...."
Selena heard these words, her face turned pale, and a touch of mockery glided through her eyes.
Patrick's eyes became sharp, as he moved his gaze away from her face and refused to look at her again.
Adeline's heart suddenly sank.
Selena's fans who are defending her became even more angry when they heard Adeline's words.
"Why do you accuse Lady Selena of something she didn't even acknowledge? Who gave you the right to define her guilt?"
"I was laughing so hard. When the police investigate a case, they must obtain the suspect's confession in order to close the case. Miss Watts is so outrageous! She held a recording pen without knowing if it's authentic, and directly sentenced Lady Selena. She even wants to use this as a reason to expel Lady Selena from the race. How disgusting and arrogant!"
"Pah! What M City's top socialite? Compared to our Creephia's top socialite, she's far inferior!"
"Who is the top socialite of Creephia?"
"Do you even need to ask? It's definitely Lady Selena. I claim her as the number one lady of Creephia. Is anyone going to argue with me?
"No!"
"Agreed!"
Selena listened to the young girls advocating for their rights and smiled, saying "The young girls are so adorable, aren't they?"
She looked at Adeline and deep thought flickered in her eyes.
This woman wouldn't target her for no reason, especially three years ago when she didn't compete with Selena. How could she be so clear about the details of this matter?
Selena thought about being fired by Olnrith University and glanced at Leah with a hint of deep playfulness in her eyes, while also wondering about the whereabouts of Georgia.
Leah suddenly met Selena's sharp gaze, her back feeling cold. She calmly shifted her eyes away without making a sound.
Since witnessing Selena's cruelty towards Angie, Leah inexplicably became a little apprehensive of Selena.
Selena let out a cold laugh, turned around first, and walked into the art gallery stepping on the red carpet.
Patrick glanced at her and walked away as well.
The remaining perfumers looked at each other and did not dare to stay any longer, and gradually began to enter the venue.
Adeline gazed at Selena's back, feeling a surge of displeasure and jealousy in her heart. She also recalled what that person had instructed her, and she clenched her fists tightly.
The assistant next to her advised, "Miss, Mr. Turner seems to be very protective of Selena. Maybe we should just give up anyway..."
Adeline gave him a cold glance and said, "Shut up!"
The assistant suddenly became speechless.
Adeline glanced at Selena one last time before turning and walking towards the building where the organizers were located.
She couldn't believe that as a daughter of the Watts family in M City, she couldn't kill an insignificant Selena.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
