Chapter 6 Disgusting Smell
Tiara was wearing a very simple white dress. and the lights were focused on her, which gave people the illusion that she was walking out with a halo.
What was more, she was without any jewelry or makeup. Yet somehow it made her stand
out even more.
“Tiara?” Darren couldn’t believe his eyes. He failed to recognize what was going on.
He subconsciously hurried forward, faced her, and lowered his voice, saying. “What are you doing here?”
“To take part in the contest, of course.”
Tiara glanced at him with a mocking smile and continued to walk forward
“Tiara!”
Darren clutched her wrist and said, his low voice mixed with fury. “Stop messing around!

This isn’t the place for you to act willful!”
Lucas, in the VIP room, squinted and looked at Darren’s restless hand on the screen. Lucas‘ eyes turned cold at once..
In the next second, Tiara forcefully pulled her arm out. “Mr. Fred, since you know where we are, behave yourself!”
As she finished speaking, she was already standing on the stage.
Her changes greatly shocked Darren. He turned around in surprise and looked at her, who was standing on the stage.
He thought, “She has always been obedient. How come today…”
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I’m Tiara Fowler, Newborn Perfume’s perfumer, and I made ‘First Love‘, today’s entry.”
She talked unhurriedly and said each word loud and clear. Everyone present could hear
her.
Leticia looked at Tiara on the stage, clenched

the wine glass in her hand, and gritted her teeth while maintaining smiling. She then looked at Darren out of the corner of her eye, indicating for him to hurry up and do something.
Yet right now, Darren’s gaze was glued to Tiara. He thought, “What is she up to?”
“The organizing committee informed me that another company used ‘First Love‘ as their entry, too. I was surprised by that. Well, I’m sure the judges will make a fair decision. I’m open to scrutiny.”
After she finished speaking, she took a few steps back and moved away from the microphone.
She looked so graceful and elegant that made others somehow willing to believe her.
Someone started talking.
“Tiara Fowler? The name rings a bell.”
“I remember! She won the prize in the rookie contest before. But no one has heard from her
since”
“That’s ancient history. She made herself a big joke in a competition two years ago in Farrahland. Everyone said she was a perfumer without a sense of smell!”
“Oh, I see. It’s her!”
Instantly, the way everyone looked at Tiara changed
There was mockery and disdain in their eyes, and most of them were waiting for a great
show
In fact, today’s contest wasn’t exactly an upscale one, and many well–known
companies in the industry did not participate Only those small and medium–sized companies were keen.
They didn’t care about the size of the awards. Only by winning more awards could the perfumers and the companies be more famous. In such a way, those companies could grow gradually

Although Newborn Perfume was Cosmos Group’s subsidiary, Newborn Perfume was newly founded after all, and none of those. senior perfumers from Cosmos Group’s headquarters worked at Newborn Perfume. Therefore, the competition could be considered fair.
Hearing people’s discussions, Leticia steadied herself and smiled as she walked onto the
stage.
“I am so sorry for delaying you. I am Leticia Trevelyan. Wave Perfume’s perfumer. It is a great honor to meet so many elite professionals here.”
She smiled, “I’ve actually been a perfumer for more than three years, and I’ve been learning about perfuming for a longer time. In all these years, I never thought that one day, the perfume I had worked so hard on would be copied. This is so…”
She grinned and shook her head. Then she continued, “How should I put it? In fact, I ought to thank the plagiarizer, as it’s more or less an exceptional way of recognizing my

work”
Then she turned around and winked at Tiara playfully, not feeling embarrassed or guilty at all
Tsara stood in situ and calmly watched
Leticia wink at her while thinking. “I admire her so much. She is cheeky enough to lie through her teeth.”
Though both Tiara and Leticia were smiling and speaking gently and politely, it was obvious that the atmosphere was intense.
The host said in time. “Both sound convincing. Is it really just a coincidence?”
“Come on! I have been in this industry for so many years, and I’ve never heard such things.
“I agree. It may be possible that the two companies have given their entries the same name, yet no matter how similar the two perfumes are, they will never smell the same. How can they be identical?”

“One of them is the plagiarizer!”
“Plagiarizers ought not to be tolerated Plagiarism is the industry’s shame!”
Leticia held the microphone again. “I personally loathe plagiarism. I believe the judges will do me right!”
She was so confident and had the air of a winner. On the contrary. Tiara was way too calm and composed.
“Ms. Fowler, what about you?” the host asked.
“I have faith in the organizing committee ast well as my work.”
Tiara smiled and said concisely. Her eyes were full of determination.
The host put on a smile to case things up. Then he said, “Given that…”
Before he continued, he frowned and sniffed a few times.
It didn’t take long for others to figure out why

the host was acting like this, as most of them sniffed and smelled something weird.
In fact, it was a very unpleasant smell.
It was smelly, a bit fishy, and was scented at the same time. The mixture was stomach- churning
“What is that smell?”
Everyone present was in the perfume industry, and they were used to all kinds of pleasant scents. They could hardly adapt to such a smell
“Have you cleaned up the venue at all? Where does that smell come from?” someone questioned
The host quickly explained. “We had the venue thoroughly cleaned yesterday. There’s
no way…
Before he finished speaking, he moved a few steps to the side and looked at Leticia, his eyes complicated.
Leticia wanted to say something, yet before

she could reach for the microphone, the host dodged as if she were a plague.
She was stunned for a second and looked puzzled.
Seeing the host’s reaction, the others immediately realized something. They poked
their heads in Leticia’s direction and immediately retracted their heads.
“It’s her!”
“What is that smell? Open the windows.”
She heard their words. Standing on the stage, she was extremely embarrassed.
She smelled something disgusting, too, yet it never occurred to her that it came from her.
She wanted to lower her head and smell herself, yet it would be so awkward. She didn’t know what to do.
“Tiara!”
Suddenly, Darren shouted, looking hurt, “Why did you betray me?”
