The man that was being escorted by Morgan Group’s bodyguard was one of John’s assistants.However, he wasn’t the type with any bravery. He was probably already warned by the bodyguard. He was scared of Cyrus, but he was even more scared of Jeffrey.After he was escorted on stage, he explained everything to everyone.In front of countless cameras, he explained in detail how John had asked him to contact the media, and then had them wait for the elder at the airport, and finally pinned the blame on Jones Enterprise.“You’re making things up!”John was so scared that his lips became pale. “I never expected you to be a spy from Jones Enterprise! Tell me! Who arranged you by my side so you can accuse me when the time’s right?!”“How can you say that?”There was fear and disappointment on his assistant’s face. “I’ve done many things for you, and you still want to refute it? You know how many things need to remain a secret? I’m no fool... I saved evidence for them all!”John suddenly
“Aren’t our base fragrances protected inside the association’s safe? How can someone do anything to it?” One of the contestants who couldn’t take it anymore asked the judges.“That’s right.”Melanie calmly answered on the judges’ behalf. “The committee was worried that something else might happen and decided at the last minute to prepare another portion of the base fragrance as insurance.“For the sake of fairness, I would like to ask the associate to use machinery to analyze the base fragrance that was manipulated to prove what I said is true,” Melanie said.Elder Gibson nodded, and the staff next to him quickly made a move.He first took the base fragrance that was contaminated to the machine so that it could be analyzed.“The reason that I’ve asked to ban the White Group’s perfume department is because the White Group’s contestant has absolutely run foul of the competition’s rules and used some despicable tricks to sabotage another contestant. Just this alone is enough to supp
“Of course, of course.”The other judges nodded in agreement.After a short discussion, Eaton personally announced their decision. “We now announce that the contestant representing White Group is now disqualified. We are withdrawing the score that we have given to John earlier. Due to how White Group has been framing Jones Enterprise again and again as well as their despicableness, we have taken the contestant representing Jones Enterprise’s request into consideration and are disqualifying White Group from participating in the competition for the next three years.”Everyone in the venue let out a cheer.Meanwhile, John was escorted out of the building by the bodyguards. The association would be questioning him about his criminal acts later.Melanie originally wanted to speak with Cyrus for a bit more, but the others from the profession couldn’t wait and surrounded him. In the end, he smiled and walked backstage.When the reporters couldn’t interview Cyrus, they swarmed backstage
Melanie got into the car and put on the seat belt. “Why are you here and on the way?”“I’m doing something nearby. I’m also paying attention to something as important as you participating in the Perfume Blending Competition. I wasn’t expecting to see you come out,” Quincy explained with a smile. “Heading home or for the company?”“No.”Melanie then said, “I need to go to the Certification Center first to get some documents.”“What documents?” Quincy asked.“The first batch of our company’s men’s perfume is ready, so all we need is to get the certification documents. We can then release it in batches into the market for trial,” Melanie explained to him.When she was at the lounge, several of her colleagues from the perfume department in the chat group were talking about this. Melanie then told them that since the Certification Center was close to the venue where the Perfume Blending Competition was taking place, she could go and take it so that her other colleagues didn’t have to
The driver didn’t dare to waste any more time and quickly turned around, driving back to Melanie’s side, and slowly stopped.Before the car could even completely stop, Jeffrey opened the door and walked over to her side.“How are you doing?”Melanie was still feeling faint. Maybe it was the low sugar caused by her starvation. She had no strength to say anything, and simply waved her hand toward him.Jeffrey raised his eyebrow, bent down, and instantly carried her into the car.“I thought you’re not letting me ride in your car?”She asked the man sitting next to her with an eyebrow raised.“No point talking back when you’re in this state!” Jeffrey said, upset.Melanie pouted. She wondered who was the one that started it first?“To the hospital!” he ordered.“No.”Melanie wasn’t loud, but her tone was determined.When her eyes saw that the man next to her was becoming furious, she explained, “Our home is just in front. I don’t want to do anything else now. I’m starving becaus
Cyrus’s fake, severe voice came from the mobile.“That’s right. You have my number, but I don’t have yours. I thought you’d forgotten about it and didn’t want me to return what I owe you,” Melanie said with a smile.“I am someone that is especially petty! How can I forget those who owe me something?”Cyrus spoke as if he really was someone like that. Then, he said, “Get yourself clean up. I’ll send you an address. Come to my workshop right now.”“Now?”Melanie was shocked.“Yes, now. What?” Cyrus said unhappily. “The people from Harbor City are too passionate and only let me leave when it’s late at night. I’m leaving tomorrow already. So, are you going to fulfill your promise or not?”“Alright. Give me the address and I’ll head over right now,” Melanie guaranteed sincerely.After hanging up, Melanie waved the mobile in her hand and said to Jeffrey somewhat apologetically, “I need to head out and it’s quite far away. I’ll only be back very late at night. Don’t wait for me.”And
"How could this happen?" Melanie furrowed her brows."We don't know what's going on either. More than one trial user has raised concerns. It's becoming quite a big issue. Our PR department and colleagues from a third-party PR agency are currently working together to figure out a solution," the assistant explained.As they were talking, Annie's call came in. After some thought, Melanie instructed her assistant, "Go to the QC department. Ask them to prioritize testing the batch of perfumes we distributed for trials to see if there's any problem." "But Miss Melanie, we've already checked multiple times, and the certification center found no issues.” The assistant was puzzled by Melanie's instruction. "Regardless, now that someone is claiming there's a problem, we have an obligation to retest. If it turns out to be our fault, we'll compensate and apologize," Melanie said, hanging up and answering Annie's call. "Mel, could someone be deliberately targeting Jones Enterprise? Norm
"Back then, I remember my father mentioning that Melanie's father single-handedly expanded Jones Enterprises' perfume in a short time. even in the bleak environment of the fragrance industry at that time. "It was rumored that the reason he could achieve this was due to his extraordinary talent and expertise in blending fragrances." "So, could Melanie have inherited this talent?" John thought out loud. "But, sir, as you said, it's just a rumor," the assistant cautiously remarked, as she didn’t know what John was thinking about. John raised his hand to stroke his trimmed beard. "Rumors don't arise out of thin air. Send more people to investigate this thoroughly for me." "Yes, sir!” the assistant agreed. - Before Melanie could arrive at Jones Enterprise, professionals online had already started pointing out that the appraisal documents released by Jones Enterprise were internal and lacked certification from the Certification Center, making them completely unconvincing.
