Chapter 1594: Chapter 1594: You Have Chosen a Thief
Mr. Twilight turned to look at Judge Snare, his voice tinged with a hint of contemptuous laughter, "Judge Snare, have you heard the publicâs opinions? Are you convinced now?"
Judge Snare was momentarily rendered speechless.
Aside from their six, everyone else supported Cynthia; even the investors of the Powell Group wanted to collaborate with Cynthia. If it were just Mr. Twilight, they could argue that he had a personal connection with Cynthia, but could they say that everyone had been bought off by her?
If they really said that, they would likely offend everyone present. Soon, someone would probably post their photos of being bribed by Jacob Powell on the Internet, and their tenure as judges would come to an end.
Judge Snare looked at Jacob Powell and then at Quinn Powell with difficulty, as they really had no choice.
"We...we agree with Mr. Twilightâs decision. The champion of this fragrance competition is..."
Quinn clenched her lips, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
Why? Why had Xaviera Evans become the champion? She should have died five years ago, but not only was she alive and well now, she had also become Caleb Mametâs wife and taken away the championship that rightfully belonged to Quinn!
Quinnâs eyes were filled with tears, with every cell in her body screaming to kill Xaviera Evans, but no matter how angry she was, she couldnât change this outcome.
"The champion is Cynthia!"
"I object!" At that moment, an old and sharp voice came from below the stage. Madam Powell stood up abruptly, her face distorted with hate as she stared at Xaviera Evans like a wild beast.
"This bitch is not worthy of being a champion! Are you all blind? Quinn is obviously better than her. Have all of you been bewitched by this temptress? You bunch of idiots and imbeciles! By what right has her championship been taken away from Quinn?"
All her life, Madam Powell had been blessed with a prestigious status and endless wealth. Now, all she wanted was the championship of the fragrance competition, which should have been achievable with the Powell familyâs influence.
Everyone present was stunned.
Wasnât Madam Powell supposed to be a classy noblewoman? How could her language be so vulgar?
Xaviera Evans looked at Robert Powell calmly, who also looked back at her with a blaming look in his eyes. It seemed as if he thought she had stolen Quinnâs championship and that she was causing trouble. It was as if he thought Xaviera deserved to be scolded by Madam Powell.
Xaviera Evans withdrew her gaze and sneered inwardly.
The deputy judges turned to Mr. Twilight, "Sir, what about this..."
Before the sentence was finished, someone exclaimed, "Look at whatâs on the internet! Cynthia stole Quinnâs fragrance formula five years ago. After being exposed, she still refused to return it."
Everyone hurriedly took out their phones, and the top trending news was about Cynthia--
[Everyone is condemning Quinn, but you donât know the truth. Quinn just doesnât want a thief to win the championship. Initially, I didnât want to get involved in this matter, but I couldnât bear to see Quinn being wronged.]
This message was posted by a well-known perfumer named Carl, who hadnât produced any works in many years but still held a certain status in the perfume world.
[Five years ago, Cynthia purposely got close to Quinn and stole her fragrance formula. Quinn did not suspect Cynthia until over twenty of her missing formulas were found in Cynthiaâs room. She finally believed this fact, but for fear that it would have a negative impact on Cynthia, she did not make it public. As a longtime friend of Quinn, I have always known about this.]
[Quinn has always treated Cynthia as a friend, not only not making things difficult for her but also supporting her in continuing to learn about fragrances. Despite Cynthiaâs refusal to return a few of the fragrance formulas, Quinn didnât make a fuss. Now, Cynthia has the audacity to use Quinnâs formula to compete, and has even taken away the championship that originally belonged to Quinn! Of course Mr. Powell and Madam Powell would be infuriated! Cynthia is clearly a thief, yet she can become the final champion. All of you are cursing Quinn; is there any justice left in this world!]
