Dear Sweetheart Chapter 486
Chapter 486
E piped up, “Please return to your seats ordingly. Otherwise, I’ll show you the door.”
As the reporters thought about how important the press conference was, coupled with how fierce the
ever-ready security guards looked, they did not dare to raise a ruckus and returned to their seats
obediently.
However, a few of them continued to murmur among themselves.
When Rayna walked up the stage, the person in charge of Egret Scents, Marcelo, and the perfumer,
Felipe Saunders, stood up immediately and shook her hand.
“Ms. Gand.”
Rayna smiled politely at them and said, “Thank you for making time to attend today’s event.”
“Please don’t mention it. It hasn’t been easy on us too,” Marcelo said. “Someone created an issue out
of nothing and ndered us. Egret Scents was clearly the firstpany tounch the products. How
on earth have we be the bad guy? We hope you can rify the matter today, Ms. Gand.”
“Don’t worry.” Rayna smiled. “The reporters are here for one reason only, which is to reveal the truth as
to why our perfume shares an identical scent as yours.”
Marcelo’s heart skipped a beat when he saw how confident Rayna was.
She must have discovered something, or else she wouldn’t have called for a press conference. I bet
we’re going to get it rough today.
After sitting down, Marcelo asked Felipe discreetly, “Are you sure you were the one who formted the
perfume? You didn’t steal Glory’s idea?”
Felipe panicked, but he quickly kept calm and answered, “Yes, I formted it myself.”
“Good.” Marcelo felt more assured upon hearing his reply. “Since we’re the first tounch the perfume,
all we need to do is to insist that Glory giarized us.”
Felipe nodded. I’ve deleted the recipient records, so it’s impossible for Glory to have dirt on me. I’m
sure the press conference is just a show.
Soon, E put the items requested by Rayna in front of her.
There were two bottles of perfume samples, several pieces of fragrance tester strips, and a document.
With one hand ced on the document, Rayna looked across the table and fixed her eyes on Felipe.
“Mr. Saunders, if you choose to tell the truth now, we can still reconcile, and Glory won’t pursue the
matter any further.”
“What truth are you talking about?” Felipe chuckled. With both his arms folded across his chest, he
side-eyed Rayna. “The truth is yourpany’s perfumer replicated my perfume, and you packaged it
into a newlyunched product.”
Rayna’s gaze darkened. She asked once more, “Mr. Saunders, aren’t you going to consider what I’ve
just said?”
“Ms. Gand,” Marcelo interrupted rudely, “it is yourpany that stole our product. What do you think
you’re doing? Are you forcing our perfumer to admit something he didn’tmit?”
All cameras stationed below the stage focused on the trio at once.
Every single word said was heard loud and clear.
A reporter queried, “Well, Ms. Gand, Egret Scentsunched the perfume first. What other truth are
you referring to?”
“Don’t tell us that your perfumer had the same idea as Egret Scents’ perfumer, and they both produced
the same perfume. We won’t be fooled.”
“What are the odds?”
“Not two of the leaves growing from the same tree are identical. What more about perfumes?”
Once someone startedmenting, the others began to chime in.
Instantly, the conference room was in an uproar.
When Rayna realized how stubborn the opposite party was, she was determined not to give in
anymore.
With that, she picked up a bottle of perfume sample and sprayed it on the tester strip. Subsequently,
she handed it over to Felipe.
“Mr. Saunders, if you were the one who created this bottle of perfume, I’m sure you’d know its
ingredients, right?”
Felipe grimaced and scoffed, “What nonsense!”
“If so, please smell the tester strip and tell us what are they,” said Rayna.
Felipe nced at her, wondering what trick she had up her sleeves.
Anyhow, he epted the tester strip and lowered his head to sniff it.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
A momentter, Felipe listed the ingredients he had identified.
Nodding, Rayna picked up another sample bottle and repeated the same actions.
Infuriated, Felipe bellowed, “Are you fooling me around, Ms. Gand? I created this perfume. How
would I not know its ingredients?”
“I know, but I just need you to sniff it one more time.” Rayna smirked. “Please, Mr. Saunders.”
Felipe said nothing and took the strip with a scowl on his face.
He sniffed at it and realized it had a slightly different scentpared to the one he smelled before.
This particr one diffuses fast, and it gives out a veryforting scent. It smells like… the one I
received from the delivery! It smells exactly the same!
As the daunting realization dawned on him, Felipe’s hand shook, causing him to nearly chuck the tester
strip away.
Rayna noticed his actions and knew that he was able to distinguish the two scents, so he asked on
purpose, “Mr. Saunders, do you think that this perfume smells the same as the previous one?”
“Yes. There’s no difference,” he responded.
I doubt Rayna is a perfumer herself. For a non-professional, she won’t be able to tell the difference.
Moreover, I’ve only made changes to the base notes. Felipe was full of confidence.
He decided to lead the conversation. “Ms. Gand, theft is a serious crime. As long as Glory makes a
sincere apology to me and Egret Scents, as well as retrieves yourtest products in the market, we’ll
consider the case closed.”
Rayna shook her head and smiled. “You’re a perfumer with an innate olfactory talent, but you couldn’t
tell that some ingredients in these two perfume samples have been changed.”
“E,” she called upon her assistant. “Take these two perfumes and have the reporters smell them.”
“Sure, Ms. Gand.”
Felipe was startled for a moment before he maintained a calmposure again.
Glory has a professional perfumer. It’s nothing unusual that they could distinguish the differences in two
perfumes.
Felipe said, “I knew you wouldn’t have asked me to smell the fragrances for no apparent reason.
Actually, I did realize a change in the base notes of the sample perfume. Why do you bother doing all
these? Are you trying to tell the reporters that the perfumes were formted differently and that Glory
did not giarize our idea?”
Felipe mistook Rayna’s silence for her feeling guilty. He approached her and went on, “I personally
created this perfume, but yourpany stole my idea and replicated my product. Then, you made
minimal changes to it and repackaged it as a new product. Come on, Ms. Gand, the noses of the
public don’t lie.”
While Felipe was speaking, the reporters were busyparing the two bottles of perfume.
None of them was a professional perfumer, so they could not tell if the ingredients used were the same.
However, they could identify a slight difference between the two.
“The fragrance of the yellow tester strip smells nicer. The scent has a soothing effect.”
“I concur. The one from the blue tester strip isn’t very pleasant. It gives me a tight feeling in the chest.”
“The one from the yellow test strip is a product of ourpany, whereas the blue one was personally
formted by Mr. Saunders.” Rayna turned to Felipe and repeated his words slowly. “Indeed, the
noses of the public don’t lie.”
“Yourpany giarized—”
