Sweet Revenge

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 :This was just the beginning

Not expecting her to admit it voluntarily, everyone froze, including Ladarius.

“Since Mr. Ladarius insists that ‘First Love’ was developed by Miss Vivienne from beginning to end, since you know so much about it, why doesn’t Miss Vivienne come and tell what I did in the recipe and which flavor I changed?”

“I…” Vivienne blushed furiously.

She hadn’t set foot in the lab for two years, and even if she hadn’t forgotten all her previous

knowledge, there were differences in the formulas and raw materials used for each different

perfume, and even in the portions, etc.

When this perfume was being developed, she was fooling around with Ladarius every day, and as

long as she hooked him up, what honors and trophies would be at hand?

She subconsciously squeezed the corner of Ladarius’ clothes and pursed her lips.

Ladarius sensed her nervousness and took a step forward, naturally protecting Vivienne behind

him,

“Since it was you who changed it, how could Vivienne have known about it?

Since you have admitted it, I think this matter, there is nothing controversial, why not…”

“I only admitted that I changed the recipe, but I did not admit that I stole it. The recipe is my own. If Vivienne is so familiar with ‘First Love’, and claims that it is her work… what, so unfamiliar with her own

work?”

“Or is it that the thief is calling out for his injustice? Vivienne is the one who stole the formula and

the results?”

Silvia called her out without any subtlety, and without leaving a trace of mercy.

Angered and annoyed by the accusation and her inability to refute it, Vivienne raised her finger to Silvia, “You’re spitting blood! You…”

Before the words were out of her mouth, she had already fainted straight backwards.

“Ah…”

“Vivienne!” Ladarius, who was closest, exclaimed, holding her falling body. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I’m sorry, because of Miss Vivienne’s body, we V.L have to leave the stage now.” Ladarius turned his head to the host, his tone polite but raw.

Then, his eyes turned to Silvia, ice cold, “But this matter, we will not just let people slander us!”

Silvia raised her evebrows and watched as he picked Vivienne up in his arms and walked ouickly out

of the venue.

Well, Vivienne was really good.

She couldn’t defend herself and couldn’t produce any evidence, so she used the fainting tactic.

Although old-fashioned, Silvia had to admit, it still works. At least, the current predicament was temporarily escaped.

Because of V.L’s temporary departure, this farce was considered to be over, the awards should be awarded, but the award to the “First Love” award, because of the controversy, I would be withheld.

Although she was prepared, Silvia was still surrounded by reporters when she left the venue.

“Miss Silvia, may I ask you, did you deliberately arrange today’s event?”

“Two years you disappeared from the perfumer’s circle. Is it because of that competition two years ago?”

“May I ask how Miss Silvia came to sign up with Carmelo? Just now Mr.Ladarius said you were an

employee of V.L. So did you jump ship, or did you breach your contract?”

“Miss Silvia, rumor has it that you and Mr.Ladarius of V.L are in a love relationship, so are you

retaliating this time?”

The questions were each sharper than one another. Silvia held a light smile, and did not hide a single bit of the malice that came to her face.

“Time, will give you the answer you want.”

She faintly threw down these words, and then escorted by Carmelo’s people, got into the car.

The car door closed, and the light and noise outside were suddenly shut out of the car.

The cold air inside the car was enough to make her shiver subconsciously, and the next second, a jacket, still warm from its owner’s body, was already draped on her shoulders.

“You haven’t left yet?” Silvia was surprised. She thought he had already left long ago.

“How could I not finish watching such a wonderful show.” Withdrawing his hand, Simon let out a soft sigh, “It’s just a pity that the result was a bit unsatisfactory.”

Silvia shook her head, “It’s not even close to the result. It’s only just started.”

“Oh?”

“What belongs to me, I won’t give it away again.”

In the past, she was the one who was foolish to give up everything for love, even going so far as to

rebel against her family.

Giving everything she had, and not getting a corresponding return, but only to be treated as a fool.

If before today, she still had hopes, then just now in the meeting room, Ladarius’ performance completely extinguished the little warmth in her heart.

He knew that ‘First Love’ was her heart and soul, and she had given up many awards and honors for so long, but now, he had accused her of being a “thief”.

For Vivienne’s sake. He really did it!

The phone was vibrating desperately in her pocket. She took it out and looked at Winnie, then picked it up. “Winnie.”

The first time she called out her name, the caller gave a loud, joyful laugh.

“That was great! Silvia, how could you do it so beautifully? What a night out, haha!”

Silvia took a little distance to look at Simon and coughed lightly in embarrassment, “Winnie, you don’t have to laugh like that, do you?”

“Of course I do!” Winnie said while laughing, “I thought you were eaten to death by Ladarius for the rest of your life. I didn’t think you’d have me add ingredients that turned out to serve this

purpose.

You don’t know how rude and arrogant Vivienne was when she took the sample from me, and I saw her slapping her face on the air, it was really cool!”

Winnie was talking in rapid succession, and she couldn’t interject.

“But Silvia, you’re battling with them like this – are you not going to stay at V.L.? I see you went to Carmelo? When did you go there and is it reliable? Have you negotiated all the terms?”

Silvia’s cheeks heated up.

While she was talking on the phone, Simon wasn’t looking at her, his eyes were looking out the car window, but he could hear every word.

“It’s also chance, right?”

Chance she remembered that encounter with Simon, chance he was willing to help her, chance… they blinked and became a couple.

“Winnie, let’s not talk about that. What happened today… Ladarius will certainly find you at fault. When he asks you, you say you do not know. Put it all on my head, understand?”

Winnie did not think, “Don’t worry, I’m not afraid of him, If it gets too bad, I’ll quit.”

She had long been tired of Ladarius’s wrongful claiming of Silvia’s work, but she was silent because Silvia herself hadn’t said anything.

“But what about you?” asked Winnie. “He will definitely come looking for you, so don’t go back tonight and stay at my place, so you can take care of yourself.”

Silvia was just about to speak when she saw Simon’s face turn suddenly, his eyes sharp.

She said, “No, I have other arrangements. Let’s leave it at that, we’ll talk tomorrow.”

After saying that, she hurriedly hung up the phone.

If it wasn’t for Winnie’s reminder, she almost forgot that tonight was her, their, wedding night.
