Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)
Chapter 542 Where Is Your Evidence, Selena?

Chapter 542 Where is Your Evidence, Selena? Leah's heart tightened as she stood up straight and looked Selena in the eye, her face full of anger. "Selena, accusing me of plagiarism without evidence is defamation! I can sue you!" she said.

Her biggest reliance was that Selena couldn't possibly produce evidence of her plagiarizing Lady Nevaeh. Based solely on the fact that her interpretation was wrong, it was impossible to pin the charge of plagiarism on her.

Selena raised an eyebrow and looked down at her slender fingers, saying in a low voice, "I can say that there is evidence, but before I present it, I will give you a chance to defend yourself." Leah laughed in anger.

When Lady Nevaeh died, Selena was only five years old and couldn't even read properly. Later, everything Lady Nevaeh left behind was gradually snatched up by her.

The herbal formulas that Lady Nevaeh left behind, Selena may not have even seen them all. Even if she didn't know how Selena used some underhanded means to alter her interpretation and obtain those herbal formulas, it was already too late.

Because she was afraid that Selena would play dirty tricks in this year's fragrance competition, she spent time memorizing all of those herbal formulas before the competition. And just in case, she even made backups of those formulas on her laptop three years ago.

Once Selena produces any of those formulas, she can immediately turn the tables on her by showing the laptop backup records.

Lady Nevaeh was dead, and Selena had no witnesses or physical evidence, yet she dared to boldly claim that she had evidence of stealing Lady Nevaeh's formulas? If she really had evidence, how could she have been so miserable three years ago? Leah was almost certain that Selena was bluffing without any cards to play.

Thinking of this, she smirked and looked at Selena coldly, saying angrily, "Selena, no matter what, it's a well-known fact that I won the runner-up in the international competition when I was sixteen!" "I have the ability and popularity. In the entire H Country, there is no younger runner-up than me. My talent in fragrance-making is also a rare existence in the entire fragrance industry for nearly a century... Would someone like me stoop to plagiarism?" Patrick saw Leah's smug expression and felt disgusted.

He remembered the scents of Lady Nevaeh that she had taken over, and the bullying he had endured for so many years from Selena. With a cold tone, he said, "What if Lady Selena had participated in the perfume competition three years ago, and what about you, Leah?" Leah's smug expression suddenly froze as Patrick continued, "You got second place three years ago because Lady Selena was framed and withdrew from the competition. Now that Lady Selena is competing, you are completely beneath her." "As a loser under Lady Selena, what qualifications do you have to show off to her?" Leah's face stiffened, and a frosty white shade appeared. Patrick's words were clearly saying that she could never compare to Selena! As long as Selena was present, the loser would always be her! However, Selena had won and had the strength to prove it, so there was no way to refute her.

Selena chuckled, "Leah, haven't you learned your lesson yet?" "I gave you the opportunity to defend yourself and prove to everyone that the perfume is yours, not to talk nonsense like a peacock!" "Everyone knows the saying ‘a hero does not mention his past deeds’, and once you prove that you stole this perfume today, do you think you can keep your second-place trophy from three years ago?" "If you can plagiarize one formula, you can naturally plagiarize the second... so any honor or trophy is useless in this matter." "To prove a person's innocence, there are only two things: evidence and strength. You should present one of them to exonerate yourself..." At this point, Selena suddenly paused, her bright red lips forming a dangerous and playful curve: "Otherwise, when my evidence comes out later, I'm afraid you won't have anything to say and may faint on the spot, which would be embarrassing." Leah was filled with anger, and she almost couldn't resist rushing forward and tearing Selena apart.

But Selena’s expression and gaze made her feel particularly uneasy.

Leah's face turned pale as she tightly pulled on Dominic's sleeve, pleading frantically, "Dominic, please testify for me and tell everyone that the perfumes I brought are all mine, and I didn't plagiarize..." By the end, she had cried herself into a tearful mess.

Dominic looked at Leah with deep and complex eyes.

Perhaps it was because of the impact that Leah's false accusation against Selena, which was exposed just now, had on him.

Or maybe it was because there were too many flaws that Leah had accumulated, and for the first time, Dominic didn't believe her wholeheartedly, without distinguishing right from wrong.

Panic filled Leah's heart.

If it was any other situation without concrete evidence, she could have come up with a thousand excuses to fool Dominic.

But she happened to fall on this issue, where she was clearly calculated by someone.

Dominic had always trusted her before, he was pure, kind-hearted, and genuinely cared about Selena...

Now, hearing those words with his own ears, all the words Leah had said before, for the sake of Selena, were like countless backhands, hitting her face one after another.

Leah bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Dominic, can you help me testify first? I'l explain what happened just now when we go back, okay?" "Think about Angie, she's still in the hospital. We should take her back to Creephia as soon as possible." "Think about Mrs. Walson and the Walson family. Selena was so heartless, she ruined Angie's reputation in public. At this time, the Walson family must be in turmoil. We must hurry back with the runner-up trophy to help Cyril stabilize the situation..." With each word spoken by Leah, Dominic finally snapped out of that indescribable complex mood.

Leah was right! For the Walson family and for Angie, Leah had to win the runner-up trophy today! Once she lost the runner-up trophy, not only the Riddle family but also the Walson family would suffer immeasurable losses.

Cyril would be furious when he saw what Angie had caused, and if he found out that Leah lost the runner-up trophy again, he would not spare them.

And there was also Talon, who was lurking around...

Dominic took a deep breath and suppressed the cotton-like feeling of suffocation in his heart. Facing the audience, he solemnly and confidently said to everyone.

"When Leah was very young, she could independently develop fragrances. She even specially showed them to me and recited them to me. I participated in every one of her fragrances... she absolutely couldn't have plagiarized Selena's fragrance!"
