Sweet Revenge

Chapter 5

Chapter 5:A Plagiarist was a Thief !

“For the sake of fairness, we have decided to hold off on awarding the top three at this time and will announce it after we find out which is the original.”

When this was said, the rest of the people not to mention Ladarius, were in an uproar.

“Why should we postpone it? This is precisely unfair to everyone!”

“Yes, since there is a controversy, let’s disqualify both of them!”

“Publish out both!”

There were all kinds of comments on the scene, and the reporters were even more energetic.

The reporters thought it would be just an ordinary competition, but they never thought there would be such gossip. They won’t worry about the headlines tomorrow.

Ladarius was sure that his family would not have problems, so he confidently took a step forward and raised his voice,

“Everyone is right, since there is such a situation, the organizing committee should be here to

disclose the results.

I believe that the heads of these two companies are present, so many peers can be witnesses, is it not more convincing?”

Compared to the lively scene on the screen, Simon’s attention was on the woman in front of him.

He held a glass of wine in his hand, but did not take a sip, and his lips held a cold smile all the time.

After so many years, she finally belongs to him.

He had waited for three years. How could a clown like Ladarius be worthy of Silvia?

If Silvia had really wanted to marry Ladarius, he would have been the first person to disagree, but now that those two have split up on their own, it’s a lot less of a hassle.

But, what should be punished was still to be punished, just punish her as a wife for life, because she did not even recognize him at first.

Over the last few years, she had become timid and cautious, speaking much more softly, however, at this moment she was standing here, the confident light once more in her eyes, proving that she hadn’t changed at all. She was still the girl who was not known but all proud.

“I’m going out on stage.”

Putting down her glass, Silvia looked back at him.

Simon pode Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She didn’t intend for Simon to take the plunge himself, but his words gave her immense peace of

mind.

With a somewhat grateful nod, she opened the door to the VIP room and walked out.

The room was still chaotic, with Ladarius at the head of the pack, and he was the one shouting the loudest.

Vivienne couldn’t hide her smugness, she never had a moment like this, standing next to Ladarius,

as if she had become the center of attention.

The host’s frown grew tighter and tighter until someone ran up to the stage and whispered

something in his ear.

He stretched his frown and turned his head to Ladarius and said, “Originally, the delay was for

humane reasons as we wanted to saveface for the plagiarists, but since everyone strongly requested it, the organizing committee has decided to make public the two companies and the entries.”

“Plagiarists are thieves, and thieves don’t want to lose face! Everyone should be beaten up!”

Ladarius was exuberant, and he was certainly not the one who plagiarized.

Since he wasn’t, of course, he had to fight against the other party to the end.

After this exposure, after tomorrow’s front page headlines, V.L’s popularity would be raised by many notches and his reputation would be greatly enhanced as if he had already seen a bright future and untold wealth.

The host looked askance at him and adjusted the microphone and said, “In this competition, two companies have reported the same perfume for entry, the name of this perfume, both named ‘First Love’.”

Hearing this, Vivienne froze, while Ladarius made a surprised face,

“First Love? First Love is the work that we participated in at V.L. ah. Then I wonder which other

company is the same as ours, what a coincidence?”

Looking around, he seemed to be trying to find that person from the crowd present.

Having started, the presenter didn’t sell himself short and continued,

“Yes, one of the companies that submitted the same work is V.L., and the other one is Carmelo.”

“Carmelo?” Ladarius looked puzzled, “Carmelo is … which company, forgive my ignorance, I have not heard of it?”

He behaved modestly, but his heart was ecstatic. Although he did not know which small company.

he didn’t think it threatened his own achievement.

“Carmelo, isn’t Carmelo a subsidiary of Warin, founded only last year?”

Someone who was familiar with the industry immediately thought of it.

“Yes, I’ve also heard of it. Although it’s newly established, it’s backed by Warin after all, and its momentum is still quite strong.’

“So that’s it, then I wonder if the person in charge of Carmelo is around? I want to know how Carmelo got the ‘First Love’ that my family worked hard for more than three months to concoct?”

When Ladarius said this, it was like convicting people directly and assuming that they were plagiarizing

The Carmelo spokesperson addressed the group. The company’s product was not expected to be a

product of the company.

We didn’t expect our company’s product to collide with another company’s product, and the

similarity is extremely high.”

“Originally, we were willing to respect the organizing committee’s opinion and verify and solve the problem privately, but since the other company did not agree, we agreed with the on-site identification.”

He was polite and svelte, and his words came out loud and clear, and coupled with his awe of Warin,

most people nodded their heads.

Ladarius scowled and said nonchalantly,

“I absolutely agree to the on-site identification of authenticity. Our V.L is small, but we can stand

the test by doing what is right.”

“Right! The First Love was created bymy own hands, so I also want to know why there will be an imitation version,” Vivienne added with an eager and sincere tone.

It was a little hard to tell the truth for a while, so one could only look at the host.

The person in charge of Carmelo was calm and aloof.

“The data records of the modulation development of the entries, as well as the characteristics and features, have been handed over to the judges, and I believe there will be a fair judgement.”

“Oh, we have also all handed them in, and I am absolutely sure that the professional judges will be able to tell who is the real one.”

With two cold laughs, Ladarius said righteously.

“It looks like the judges’ side already has the results.”

Receiving an envelope, the host first looked at Ladarius,

“Mr. Ladarius, can I ask? I heard that the perfume, First Love, was personally developed by your product director Miss Vivienne, is that right?”

“Of course,” Ladarius nodded affirmatively. “Vivienne is our company’s most outstanding perfumer, and is also well-known in the industry. Several of our company’s best-selling releases before, are also from her hand.”

The host nodded and looked at the head of Carmelo, “Wyatt, I wonder who is the one who developed this fragrance in your company?”

Wyatt smiled, “Coincidentally, the author of First Love is here today, and we are honored to introduce her to you.”

With the movement of his sideways arm extension, from the back of the venue, a person slowly stepped out.
