Michael said, "Currently, contestant no. 3, Zoe, has the highest score. She got an average score of 9.4 from the judges, which is really high. Now, the pressure is on our final two contestants, no. 9 and no. 5."Lucille hadn't participated in giving feedback for the previous six contestants. So, she was in charge of the evaluation for the final two contestants.She glanced at Samantha and Sabrina.Sabrina looked at Lucille with confidence and arrogance, so the latter ignored her and chose to comment on Samantha first.Lucille rasped, "Contestant no. 9, you're the only one among the eight contestants present who used the distillation and concentration method to extract the essential oil, removing impurities from the raw ingredients completely. So, the fragrance and ingredients of your product are much purer."You managed to show great attention to detail in a situation where it's not easy to concentrate on perfumery. It's impressive." Everyone knew Deer rarely praised anyone. Whe

While Sabrina was still puzzled about how Deer knew Ivy's last name was Beech, Michael interrupted her thoughts. "Contestant no. 5, did you bring the perfume manual or do you want us to send someone to get it?"She returned to her senses. "No need. I brought it with me. It's in my bag at the lounge." She usually left the perfume manual at home. However, since it was a special day today, she'd brought it with her. She hadn't expected it would be useful.In order to prevent trouble, one of the judges randomly selected an audience member to accompany Sabrina to retrieve it.The contestants on the stage whispered among themselves."How did a simple competition become so complicated?""It's not. Contestant no. 5 is the one who's complicated.""Actually, the perfume she creates lacks her unique signature. I have looked into it before and always felt that something was off. However, given her background, it's not like we could say anything." "That's right. I thought so too. Furthe

Like mother, like daughter. Since Ivy's innate characteristics were just so-so, Sabrina's wasn't any better.Deer was more famous than anyone present on the stage. Even her fans were present."Hey, old lady on the stage. Could you show some respect to Ms. Deer? Didn't your mother teach you not to point at others while talking?""Exactly, old lady. You shouldn't be here. It's fine if you are rude, but you should be somewhere where you belong.""Old lady. Your daughter is infamous. The internet has records of everything, and we aren't fools. Besides that, Ms. Deer has a spotless reputation. Of course she can't accept an apprentice with a tainted reputation. Frankly speaking, your daughter isn't worthy at all."The situation changed so quickly that it left Ivy speechless.Matilda, who was below the stage, interrupted, "Ms. Johnson, this is your only chance to prove your innocence. Are you sure you don't want to seize it? "As a qualified perfumer, it's impossible that you don't rem

Lucille glanced to the side and noticed Horace and William had already left. She smirked. In times of crisis, everyone went their own way, huh? What a ridiculous family they were. Horace and William had pampered Sabrina for so long. But now that disaster struck, they had just selfishly ignored her. "Let's do a graphology," Lucille slowly said. The crowd believed this was the most reliable method. Although handwriting could be easily copied, not everyone had the same writing habits or strokes. "Heh, who knows if you tried to mimic Bree's handwriting," Ivy rebutted. "Excuse me, old lady, even if Deer, the mystery master perfumer, were to mimic your daughter's handwriting, can't your daughter just write it out again? Why do you have so many excuses?" One of the crowd voiced their suspicions, saying, "Or perhaps you're chickening out because you're nervous?" Ivy went silent. After hesitating for a while, Sabrina agreed. She and Lucille were required to handwrite a formula

Sabrina's face paled and flushed scarlet the next second. If what happened today got out, the persona and reputation she had been building for years would be destroyed. Even her status as a perfumer, which was her only way to make a comeback, would be ruined.She knew she had no choice but to deny being the copycat to the very end. If she stood by who she was, there was still hope. Regardless of what happened, she must not let herself slip. "I've already said it—I wrote all the formulas in this notebook myself." Everyone was speechless. Wasn't the truth obvious? Why was Sabrina still denying it? Lucille stared coldly at her and smirked. "Is that so?" she asked in an indifferent tone. Her words carried an invisible yet overwhelming pressure, like a black hole radiating intimidation."I've already given you many chances to admit it on your own." Lucille staged a big act of benevolence. After all, by giving Sabrina a chance, she was showing that she wasn't a narrow-minded,
