‘What the heck?! Speak of the devil!’ Well, Lily did not even speak of Melanie.She just thought of her.
Seeing Melanie walking toward her step by step, Lily rubbed her eyes and turned to look into the
distance.
‘It can’t be! I’m in Woodland, and this is the review competition’s reception banquet.Melanie couldn’t
come as she pleased even if she wanted to! It must be a doppelganger"
With that thought in mind, Lily turned to look at the person again.
The person standing before her looked just like Melanie.Her face, eyes, and especially the tone of her
voice were annoyingly familiar.
"What's the matter? Are you surprised to see me?"
Melanie just wanted to see the surprise and displeasure in Lily's eyes.
‘Did Lily think she’s the only one who’s good enough to be here? Well, if there’s a will, there’s a way.I
can use my brain to get what I want"
Lily sneered when she confirmed it was indeed Melanie, "You have no self-awareness at all, do you?"
Melanie was pleased with her response.
The more unhappy Lily was, the more pleased she would be.
"Ha, did you think you're the only one here? Don't forget, Lily.I've won several awards over the past
three years.I'm better than you and more famous than you.So, I can be here too if you can."
Melanie deliberately showed off as if she was already a winner by being here.
Lily could not be bothered to argue with her.She just regretted that Melanie had polluted the fresh air
she had come here to get.She turned around and was about to leave, "Shameless!"
"Don't leave!"
Melanie said while grabbing her wrist, "Who are you calling shameless? Do you think you can make a
comeback in Rebirth, Lily? Don't forget that Rebirth is just an unknown company back in
Hyderland.Hyderland is not even recognized internationally.So, even if you’re top-notch in Hyderland,
you're just a nobody here!"
Although Melanie was not too happy when Frank told her the same thing the other day, she had to
admit it was the truth.
The top perfumers in the world were from other countries.
Although there were a few outstanding talents in Hyderland, they had emigrated and joined other
nationalities.
Lily noticed something about the review competition.
Although she heard there were certain requirements to attend and the event would be by invitation
only, the number of participants was still high.
Even the organizer had not shown up at the reception yet.
In other words, in the eyes of the organizers, everyone at the venue might only be cannon fodder.
Either this competition was just a gimmick, or the essential participants were not even there.
Lily was upset that she could not disagree with Melanie.
However, she refused to believe there were no talented perfumers in Hyderland.
She would rather believe that the top perfumers were reclusive and liked to remain anonymous like the
Lodge family.
"Is that so?"
Lily sneered at Melanie, "If those of us who earned our rights to be here are nobodies, what about a
parasite like you? You only survive by relying on others and eating away at others' efforts?"
