    Chapter 303 The Appearance of the Investors


    Knowing the rules is already a big loophole. Freya thought to herself.


    She took a step back and created some distance between herself and Helga.


    Helga didn’t notice this detail and whispered to Freya, “The staff wille soon. There will be the first


    round ofpetition, which is a surprise. The goal is to eliminate more than a hundred people directly


    down to fifty-two.”


    She looked at Freya smugly and said, “You probably didn’t expect it to be this intense. Because of you,


    the anticipation and viewership for this show are high, so the production. team has invested a


    considerable amount of money in the organizingmittee, and the pressure multiplied. So, the media


    needs these gimmicks to attract more viewers.”


    Freya was a bit surprised. “You seem to know a lot.”


    “Not really. Just enough to get by. It’s good to know a little of everything,” Helga said with a smile before


    looking at Freya with a hint of false worry. “Miss Kaufmann, you just need to pass this round, and you’ll


    be in the ranking. Even famous perfumers will struggle to enter the first 50 ces in such a big


    competition.”


    Freya nodded with a smile.


    Helga noticed her indifferent attitude towards her and cursed inwardly, “Why is she so arrogant? She’s


    lucky toe from a good family. Well, she won’t even pass this round!”


    Helga saw that Freya was no longer paying attention to her, so she stood there with pride and wasn’t


    bothered to speak to Freya anymore.


    On the other hand, the other girls continued to gossip about Helga, who was already annoyed by


    Freya’s attitude. She immediately turned and argued with one of the girls.


    However, the girl couldn’t win the argument and was scolded by Helga, “If you don’t have the ability,


    don’t talk nonsense. The organizingmittee has no rule that says I can’t participate in the


    competition. When you enter society, will you notpete with your seniors? Do you think everyone in


    society will amodate you just because you’re here?!” Helga’s words were harsh, but they had


    some truth to them. The surrounding people fell silent, and the girl couldn’t help but sob.


    Freya’s eyes held a hint of mockery. Helga’s words sounded reasonable, but she already knew the


    rules of thepetition. That in itself wasn’t fairness.


    Someone wanted to speak up for the girl but was red at by Helga. Fortunately, the staff from the


    organizingmittee arrived quickly and looked at everyone.

    “Please quiet down, everyone. I’d like to introduce a few people to you. The staff member smiled at


    everyone and pointed to several cars nearby.


    Someone stepped forward and invited a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties from the first car. The


    man wore a checkered duckbill cap and had a kind and gentle.


    appearance.


    The staff member smiled and said, “This is the director for the live broadcast.”


    Next, the director gave a speech about which tforms the live broadcast would be on and reminded


    everyone to pay attention to their image. After introducing the director, the staff member introduced


    several judges from the organizingmittee.


    These judges were all big shots in the industry and were in apletely different league from Helga.


    Freya had a rough idea of who the judges were, and it seemed unlikely that Helga could influence all of


    them, even if she tried to use connections.


    After the judges were introduced, thest to be introduced were the investors.


    So, the staff member smiled and said, “We have four investors for this perfumery contest. We will now


    invite them out and sincerely thank them for their investment in thispetition.”


    Freya’s heart skipped a beat as her gaze fell on one of the cars. The car looked ordinary, but the


    emblem on the car revealed the Monaghan family.


    “First, we have the Cahan Group from Hartterre. The representative is Mr. Inken Cahan, the


    general manager of the Cahan Group.”


    Freya’s thoughts were interrupted, and she heard a few girls around her eximing, “Mr. Inken is the


    heir of the Cahan family.”


    “I heard that Mr. Inken is the only son of the Cahan family. If you can date him, it would be


    amazing…”


    “He’s rich and handsome, but unfortunately, he’s not in good health.”


    A local girl from Hartterre whispered, “I heard that Mr. Inken is sickly. He has had poor health since he


    was young. Would you be willing to marry him? With his condition, he might not even be able to satisfy


    you in bed.”


    Freya couldn’t help but burst intoughter at this remark. It would be interesting if Brisa and Inken


    heard this. Brisa would probably take pleasure in this andugh uncontrobly, while Mr. Inken himself


    would be furious.


    She smiled and looked up to meet Inken’s eyes. She didn’t know when, but he was already standing in


    front of her with a warm smile.


    “What are youughing about?” Inken asked with a straight face. He was pretending not to

    know her since others couldn’t know their rtionship.


    Freya put on a polite expression and said, “Mr. Inken, I just remembered a joke.”


    “Oh? A joke? Do tell me when you have the time,” Inken said with a smile.


    Then, Freya heard a faint voice behind her. “Mr. Inken is so gentle.”


    Gentle my foot. Freya silently muttered in her heart as she looked at Inken.


    This b*stard lookspletely different todaypared to his healthy and shrewd appearance at the


    restaurant yesterday.


    Inken was wearing an elegant white suit with his hairbed back without any hair wax. His soft hair,


    combined with his innocent face, made him look like a handsome nobleman from ancient paintings.


    He looked harmless and weak, and anyone would pity that he had such a frail body. He made. people


    feel that the heavens were jealous of his good looks.


    Brisa’s scolding from yesterday was indeed correct. Freya thought to herself.


    Fortunately, Inken didn’t bother her for too long. After speaking with Freya, he turned and walked


    toward the staff before giving a speech saying that the Cahan family had high. hopes for the future of


    the perfume industry and wished everyone a bright future.


    Freya was tired of listening to his pretense and stoodzily in ce while the people around. her


    couldn’t help but look at her.


    “Why did Mr. Inken only talk to her? Do they know each other?”


    “They probably don’t know each other, but even if they didn’t, they must have seen each other’s photos


    or something. After all, Freya is very famous online, and Mr. Inken is the only son of the top family in


    Hartterre.”


    “Sigh. Fairy tales are all lies. Princes usually end up with princesses.”


    “Nowadays, wealthy families are more realistic. Not many princes would marry a Cindere. They


    would definitely join forces with other powerful families. I think Mr. Inken might be interested in Freya.”
