Capítulo 265: The Truth

The judges turned to Briena. "What do you have to say about this, Ms. Briena?"

Briena, still stunned, hesitated before saying, "I think it was a coincidence…"

"Coincidence?" Ms. Taylor exclaimed, frowning. "Such a coincidence that you created only half of the perfume and didn't even realize it was incomplete? Which perfumer doesn't know their own creation is unfinished? Have you truly created it?"

Briena froze under Ms. Taylor's sharp words but quickly tried to defend herself. "I knew you wouldn't accept it. You're siding with Natalie. I saw you at her perfume event, standing with her. I'm sure you're colluding with her!"

Ms. Taylor's expression hardened. "Are you blaming me for your failure to complete a formula? How does it even show that I'm siding with her? The other judges here can also see through what's happening."
