Chapter 30


    Lily walked over and sat down gracefully. Mnie had arrived at the venue earlier. Once Lily took her


    seat,Mnie nced over at Nathaniel, who noticed that and gave Mnie an "Okay" gesture.


    Seeing that, Mnie felt slightly more at ease.


    The press conference soonmenced, and Nathaniel went straight to the point.


    "I''m sure all of you heard about the incident during the perfumerypetitionst night.


    There were some misunderstandings.


    Hence, we arranged this press conference to rify the misunderstandings to those concerned with the


    media’s help.” Nathaniel paused before he continued, “The product ‘First Love,’ which was one ofMN


    Inc.''s entries to thepetition, was well-received by everyone.


    However, twopanies submitted the same work, which raised concerns about giarism and


    intellectual property theft.


    The people involved in this incident are already here, so I won’t say more.


    Now, I''ll pass the floor to the two perfumers to exin it to all of you, alright?” Then Nathaniel passed


    the microphone to Mnie.


    Mnie wore a ck Bardot dress, making her look imposing.


    The interesting thing was that her ck dress formed a sharp contrast with Lily’s white dress.


    ustomed to such situations, Mnie brightly smiled as she said, “Hello, everyone.


    I''m Mnie Thayer, MN Inc.''s chief perfumer.” The way Mnie introduced herself as MN Inc.’s chief


    perfumer made Lily lower her gazeand smirk.


    “As Mr.


    Hall briefly exined the incident earlier, I won''t be repeating it.


    I just want to say that I''ve known hard work is more important than talent ever since I started my career


    in thisindustry.


    I believe that a great perfume results from a perfumer''s dedication to the lifelong learning of fragrances


    through continuousresearch and experiments.


    We must put our minds to doing the right thing.


    ying tricks may help a person gain short-term benefits, but it will never help them in the long run.


    Am I right, Lily?" Mnie concluded her part by throwing a question to Lily casually.

    Sure enough, everyone’s attention averted to Lily.


    They were all ears, waiting to hear what Lily had to say.


    Although Mnie did not denounce Lily, everyone understood the meaning behind her words.


    Mnie made it clear she was the victim, while Lily was the thief who giarized and stole the work of


    others.


    The microphone was in front of Lily, but she was not in a hurry to speak.


    She looked around the venue, her gaze sweeping almost the entire ce.


    Just when Nathaniel started to get anxious and wanted to remind Lily to speak, he finally heard Lily


    say, “I agree with what Ms.


    Thayer said.


    It''s indeed most important for us to put our minds to doing the right thing.


    Besides, Ms.


    Thayer was right about one''s hard work being more important than one’s talent.” The reporters clicked


    their cameras wildly, but Lilydid not dodge them.


    She remained calm in the face of the blinding lights.


    Nathaniel and Mnie kept a professional smile on their faces while a thought popped up in their


    minds.


    Lily was merely repeating Mnie’s exact words.


    Everything sounded the same, but why did the two get suspicious when those words came from Lily?


    “Ms.Christian, are you admitting that you stole Ms. Thayer’s work?” one of the reporters asked.


    Lily lightly smiled when she heard such a critical question.


    "I did not say that." "Oh?" There was an uproar among the crowd.


    The cameras started shing again instantly, and more reporters were eager to ask Lily questions.
