Chapter 432 Master and Disciple
“It''s a long story.”
Jeffrey had a mixed expression on his face as he paused and said, “When you''re freeter, I''ll tell you the story between my
parents.”
“lm free now,” Mnie sald. She wanted to listen to it.
All she knew was that the Morgan Group had been under the control of Jeffrey’s grandfather. Only after his passing did Jeffrey
Inherit his authority. Jeffrey''s grandfather’s only son had two sons, and the oldest son was Stephen''s father. It was said that he
was sickly and had been staying overseas for a long time for the sake of his health. As a result, his presence in thepany
was verycking.
However, the only son of Jeffrey’s grandfather, who was also Jeffrey’s father, was almost
invisible. It was said that Jeffrey’s grandfather disliked him a lot, which was why he passed the power over the family straight to
his grandson, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey had never mentioned his parents to her, so Mnie was naturally very curious about it. She couldn’t wait to hear more
about them.
However, Jeffrey simply smiled and said, “It’s already gettingte.”
“No, it’s not.” Mnie tried her best to fight for it.
He couldn''t help but scratch her nose and said, “Go to bed early. You have a long flight tonight.”
Mnie knew she couldn''t get more from him tonight, and so she stopped asking and went back to bed.
She quickly fell into a deep sleep with Jeffrey’s warmth next to her.
The next day, Mnie and Annie said their goodbyes to Linda.
When Linda heard they were going back to take part in a perfume blendingpetition, she said. that she would visit if she had
the time.
Mnie quickly waved her hands and said, “I’m grateful, Linda. But thispetition is just a continuation of thest International
Perfume Blending Competition started by Aiden. It’s probably going to be a waste of your precious time.”
“Oh?”
Linda raised an eyebrow and nodded. “I see. Then, | wish you luck!”
“Thanks.”

Once Mnie got back to Harbor City, she then quickly started preparations for thepetition.
The next day, the perfume—blending exhibition match officially started.
The core t of the match was minimalistic, and so thepetition was also set to be very minimalistic; they would be graded
on the spot, their score would be announced on the spot, and the prizes would be handed out in the evening.
The entirepetition would be streamed by several TV stations from both countries. The reason
they were doing this was to disallow the losers from trying to weasel their way out.
Elder Gibson knew that Mnie had thought of that as well. He was worried that she would be.
feeling too much pressure, and so he went backstage to cheer her up. “I trust in you. We''ll win the
competition today!”
Mnie forced a smile.
Elder Gibson put his hands behind his back and said unhappily, “What, you think I’m trying to lie
to you?”
“You''re trying to cheer me up.” Mnie said.
“Even if | were to cheer you up, there’s no need for me to lie!” Elder Gibson said as he rolled his
eyes. “Let’s make a bet. If the winner is not from our country, you can be my master instead!”
Mnie didn’t know where his faith came from. Judging from his words, he seemed to have
asked others toe help her.
But from what she understood about the industry, there weren''t really any rookies that were good. at blending fragrances in a
minimalistic fashion...
No matter what, she needed to confront her fears and put in all her effort.
However, what had urred was different from what she had hoped.
She felt that something was wrong even from the first step.
Her style had been bound by the rules of thepetition, making her unable to reach her full potential.
Every time a thought came into her mind, she needed to think if it would fit thepetition’s

the end wasn’t something that even she herself was happy with.
Naturally, if she herself wasn’t happy with her own creation, she wouldn''t be impressing the judges. On top of that, their scoring
criteria had to refer to the rules of thepetition, which was why Mnie’s score was only somewhere in the upper range. She
wasn’t even in the top three.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
The host asked Mnie. “Contestant number ten, do you have any questions about your score?”
Mnie shook her head.
The host was just going to continue with the process and announce the nextpetitor''s scores, but Aiden couldn’t help but
barge in as he stood at the side. “I’m quite surprised with the score! Recently, your performance at the International Perfume
Blending Competition was quite eye- catching! But why didn’t you perform as well this time? Don’t tell me youre getting nervous
when you have the home advantage?”
“They''re announcing your scores next, yet you''re still worried about my mistake? Thanks,” Mnie said with a cold expression.
Aiden then said with a confident smile, “You’re wee, because | have absolute confidence in
myself!”
With that, Aiden then extended his hand, signaling the host to announce his scores.
The host announced the scores from all the judges. Aiden’s smile became more and more wicked!
His score was unusually high!
