Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593: A Well-Deserved Champion

Mr. Kamani opened the bottle, and a crisp yet slightly sweet scent spread out, reminiscent of the gentle fragrance of a young girl, making people unconsciously addicted to it.

“Great! No wonder this perfume was recognized by Mr. Twilight, it’s incredibly pleasant! I can’t believe I came across a genius in this perfume contest. I should talk to Miss Cynthia about cooperation later.” Mr. Kamani excitedly said.

Jacob’s lips twitched: “Mr. Kamani, didn’t you say you wanted to cooperate with the Powell Group?”

“I did agree before, but Miss Powell’s evaluation results have been questioned. If I continue to invest in the Powell Group, there will inevitably be risks, and there is no problem with choosing a more outstanding person.” Mr. Kamani had been in the business circle for so many years and naturally understood the pros and cons.

Initially, he was only planning to invest in the Powell Group because of Mandy’s title. However, the Powell family bribed the judges, indicating that Miss Powell’s strength was insufficient and she lacked the confidence to win the championship. Moreover, the final of the competition was being broadcast live, and when this scandal spread, the Powell family’s reputation would undoubtedly be affected, and investing in the Powell Group would be too risky. He didn’t have to take this risk.

Everyone looked at Jacob with mockery.

“Bribing the judges and still wanting the Powell Group to be invested in, what a beautiful dream!”

Jacob felt as if a huge rock was blocking his chest, making it difficult to breathe. He wanted to scold these people, but he couldn’t find any counterarguments.

He weakly fell back into his chair and stared at the stage with cold eyes.

Now, the six main judges chose Quinn Powell, whereas Twilight and the twelve assistant judges chose Cynthia. So who was the real champion?

Judge Snare immediately stood up: “The opinions of the judging panel are just a reference and cannot interfere with the final result of the competition!”

“But, Mr. Twilight also chose Cynthia.”

Judge Snare gritted his teeth and retorted: “Mr. Twilight said they were friends, so it’s normal to have some personal bias.”

The representative of the judging panel laughed: “You all had a meal with Quinn Powell and received valuable gifts, would you count as friends too?”

Judge Snare was speechless: “…”

At this moment, Xaviera Evans looked at Quinn Powell, only to see her face pale, her eyes red, and her gaze filled with resentment and panic.

Quinn cared a lot about this competition because it involved the Powell family’s perfume business. With so much money invested by the Powell family, she would not be able to hold her head up in the family if they lost because of her.

She looked at Jacob for help, pitiful and vulnerable, making Jacob feel distressed, but it also gave him an idea.

At this point, he could no longer be merciful. He just had to expose that Xaviera had stolen Quinn’s perfume recipe and post the events from five years ago online. Would people still regard her as a champion? A person of such low moral character shouldn’t even have the qualifications to participate in the competition!

In a way, this was somewhat cruel to Xaviera, but if she hadn’t vied for the championship with Quinn, he wouldn’t have had to be so hard on her.

Xaviera clearly knew how important this Perfume Contest was to the Powell family, directly affecting their business and easily causing a loss of several billion dollars if mishandled. However, she didn’t just refuse to help the Powell family, she was causing trouble all along. She didn’t deserve any pity.

With these thoughts in mind, Jacob made up his mind and sent a message to his assistant.

At this time, the judges on the stage were still arguing. Mr. Twilight stood quietly to one side, appearing unconcerned while glancing at Xaviera, who seemed indifferent and not at all interested in the championship.

A glimmer appeared in Mr. Twilight’s eyes. Did she not want to be a champion from the start?

He chuckled lightly, instantly understanding Mrs. Mamet’s intentions. How could someone who had become a genius young lady in the world of perfumery care about a mere championship title?

However, she undoubtedly deserved the championship in this competition. Even if she didn’t want it, it couldn’t fall into Quinn Powell’s hands.

“Everyone.” Mr. Twilight suddenly spoke, raising a jade necklace.

Everyone immediately stopped arguing, and the judges looked at him with various expressions.

This jade necklace belonged to Mrs. Algoma, the former president of the Fragrance Association. Whoever held the necklace had the right to choose the final champion in controversial situations. Mr. Twilight pulled out the jade necklace at this moment.

Judge Snare indignantly said: “Mr. Twilight, you can’t do this. You have a relationship with Miss Cynthia. Choosing her would be unfair to Miss Powell.”

“Oh?” Mr. Twilight sneered, turning to face the audience: “Do you all think it’s fair?”

Mr. Kamani had gotten the perfume to be passed among the audience, and a refreshing fragrance had already spread. The audience unanimously shouted: “Fair!”

“Miss Cynthia is the champion!”

Hearing this deafening sound, Quinn Powell’s body unsteadily swayed. She had never imagined she would lose so thoroughly, with even the audience standing on Xaviera’s side.
