Chapter 54

Jenny remained silent as the others in the room were shocked. They turned their heads to each other as if questioning who had leaked the information to Lily. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Lily looked at Jenny‘s composed face. “These three fragrance lines, or should I say they‘re all from the same line, each contains one distinct ingredient from the other two lines. As a result, they differ just slightly from each another. Of course, you could argue they‘re from different fragrance lines since they‘re not identical.”

“Really?” Jenny smirked wryly, attempting to convince Lily that she was merely embarrassing herself by being wrong.

Lily did not falter or question herself. Instead, she continued with determination, “Yes! These three fragrances contain only one different ingredient each, and the average consumer would not be able to tell them apart. However, those that regularly use perfumes would be able to detect it. In time, the distinct differences between these fragrances would be more noticeable.”

Lily lifted her finger and pointed toward the bottle on the right. “I believe this would be the best fragrance amongst female consumers aged 18 to 23.”

The room was dead silent. Not a single soul confirmed her statement, nor did anyone correct her. They were simply quiet.

Jenny glanced at her with an unreadable expression, then asked in a condescending tone, “Are you sure?”

“I‘m sure!” Lily nodded unfalteringly. Jenny smacked her lips, saying nothing. Her eyes were no longer looking at Lily with disdain. Instead, she looked deep in thought.

“I know this is part of my test, and if you‘re unsatisfied with my performance, I can also list the ingredients in these fragrances...” Just as she finished her sentence, she started verbally listing the ingredients used to produce them.

By the time Lily began, she had won over most in the room who had previously questioned her abilities. It was not just a matter of capabilities, as most people in the room could not pinpoint the exact differences between those three fragrances. Still, someone as plain as her, embroiled in controversy and a lawsuit, could tell them apart immediately.

Jenny also purposefully placed Lily in the spotlight. Despite that, Lily was unaffected in her ability to examine and investigate the fragrances in question rationally. Some were already giving her thumbs up discreetly as their impression of Lily took a turn for the better.

Though this was the case, there was not a hint of joy found on Lily‘s face. She remained calm and collected when she accepted the challenge to an easy victory, but she knew it was too easy. From her understanding of Jenny‘s character, Jenny would not just let her off the hook quickly. “Well done,” Jenny finally spoke, “You are right. The list of ingredients you‘ve listed was accurate as well. From the looks of it, you‘re not like the rumors said you were. You‘re quite capable.” “Still, you didn‘t even try to open those bottles and smell them. I wonder, how would you be

able to know about the ingredients used to such detail… unless... someone might have told you?” Jenny reached out to touch the edge of a bottle and looked sharply at Lily.

Jenny was trying to accuse her of cheating!

Lily finally smiled, “Ms. Thorn, you‘re so funny. You‘re the one who set up the challenge. Besides, our wager wasn‘t even planned. Who would‘ve been able to predict the future and disclose such specific information to me?”

Lily looked around the room and saw heads nodding, agreeing to what she had just said. Jenny gave her a meaningful glance, “Okay, then.”
