Chapter 541 Apologies! The female journalist seemed to be angered by Leah's contradictory attitude and took out a recording pen from her bag and pressed it.

Immediately, everyone in the room heard Leah's voice coming from the recording pen.

"I didn't expect my sister to know nothing about fragrances..." "There are some things I shouldn't say too clearly, but for..." "Recently, I lost a few fragrance recipes in my study, maybe..." "It's also my fault. I shouldn't have driven Selena out. She came to me because she had no other choice. She made a mistake because she had no other way out..." "Selena is young and was forced into this. Please forgive her and don't hold it against her. I apologize for her deceitful behavior." Upon hearing this recording, Leah's delicate face suddenly twisted.

Dominic's face darkened, and he stared at Leah.

The audience was also stunned upon hearing this.

"If I ever believe anything that comes out of Leah's mouth again, then I'm a dog!" "Is that woman a born liar? Why have we never heard a truthful word from her?" "I understand now! Leah was planning to frame Selena for stealing her fragrance recipe, but she didn't anticipate the special circumstances of this year's fragrance competition. Selena's championship was unshakable, and she couldn't falsely accuse Selena of stealing. So, she wanted to smear Selena's reputation, but she didn't expect the journalist to record what she said. It's just karma!" "What's even more disgusting is that she clearly did it, but she still denies it and insists that Lady Selena bribed the journalist to frame her... She looks decent, but how can her heart be so malicious?" When Leah heard the waves of curses against her, her face turned white without a trace of color, and her voice was sharp in denial: "That's not true--" "If that's not true, then what is it?" The female journalist interrupted Leah first, looking at her with disgust and disdain. "Could it be that Leah wants to tell everyone that this recording is fake and that you didn't say these things at all? Is it something we specially fabricated to frame you?" Leah's body trembled uncontrollably, and she was almost driven insane with anger.

She opened her mouth to deny it, but she didn't know what to say.

Because she did say these things! She said them in front of Luke.

But she never expected that these words would be recorded and cause her such embarrassment in public today.

Leah stared at Selena with intense anger and hatred growing in her heart.

But what made her more panicked and uneasy was the suspicious gaze beside her.

Leah suppressed the fierceness in her eyes, raised her pale and weak face, and looked at Dominic in a fluster. "Dominic, it's not like that. These words are... are..." Veins popped out on Dominic's forehead, and he coldly questioned, "What are they?" Even if Dominic was stupid or blind, in the face of solid evidence, how could he believe Leah? In his mind, Leah had always been a gentle, kind, and tolerant young lady.

In fact, not only did she lie, but she also falsely accused Selena of stealing her fragrance formula, and refused to admit her wrongdoing by trying to shift the blame onto Selena...

Leah felt the suspicion and disappointment in his eyes, and she was overwhelmed with emotions, bursting into tears.

"No, Dominic, I did lose a few fragrance formulas, and during that time, Selena told me she was going to participate in the fragrance competition. I thought she couldn't possibly make her own fragrance... It was just a guess, but someone took advantage of it..." Before Dominic could say anything, the audience below erupted in outrage.

"Can you just say anything you want? How shameless can you and your family be? You have no evidence, yet you dare to slander Lady Selena?" "If it weren't for all the judges participating in the fragrance competition this year, Selena's championship could not be denied.

Your guesses, Leah, might become a reality today, won't they?" "Full of lies and a wicked heart, you truly are shameless and despicable!" "Someone taking advantage? At this point, you still want to implicate Lady Selena and tarnish her name? Leah, have some shame, would you?" Leah stood on the stage with a pale face, listening to those mocking and contemptuous words, and she hated Selena to the core.

Selena's black eyes flickered with a touch of mockery, coldly curling her lips. "I stole your fragrance formula? Leah, you really dare to say that!" Leah's face suddenly turned pale again, gritting her teeth and glaring at Selena.

If Selena hadn't won the championship, or if her championship wasn't so sensational, based on her past accomplishments and honors, this accusation would be the best and most ruthless excuse for Leah to sow discord and bring down Selena.

But now, Selena had won the championship, and Leah had become a questioned runner-up.

She was a runner-up accused of plagiarism, but Selena was a true and deserving champion.

Who would believe that she stole Leah's fragrance formula? "Lady Selena stole her fragrance formula? How dare Leah say such a thing? She must have a lot of guts.” "This is definitely the funniest joke I've heard this year! Leah, fuck, what an idiot!" "Selena openly admitted to plagiarism, while Leah sneaks around and reports behind the scenes. From this incident, we can see the stark difference in character between the two sisters of the Riddle family!" Leah's face burned, standing stiffly on the stage, motionless, with a pale face like paper.

Selena looked at her embarrassed expression, smiled happily, raised her beautiful chin, and suddenly her face sank.

"Apologize!" Leah's face suddenly stiffened, her gaze swept harshly over Selena's face, and her fists clenched.

Although she resented Selena to the point of wanting to eat her, Leah has always been a person who can bend and stretch.

In any situation, she can clearly grasp the best course of action for herself.

With that recording, she had no way to defend herself, and could only reluctantly admit to the incident.

So Leah lowered her head very decisively, and bowed to Selena, saying softly, "I'm sorry, Selena, I shouldn't have been impulsive and said the wrong thing. Please forgive me!" Selena smiled lightly, but there was no warmth in her eyes. "Although you have apologized, I won't say it's okay." Leah's whole face twitched violently.

After Selena finished speaking in a daze, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she looked at Leah with a smile, "Alright, enough about other things. Now, it's time for you to confront me about the origin of that bottle of perfume!"
