Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 491 - 490: It’s Not You 2

What!!???

At this, the entire audience was truly in an uproar, looking incredulously at the two equally beautiful women on stage.

Did they hear wrong?

Margarett Vance’s expression stiffened for a moment, then she smiled: "Miss Thorne, do you know what you’re saying?"

"It seems Miss Vance has some hearing issues, so let me say it again, ’not you’... Oh no, to be precise, this one-of-a-kind perfume in the world was not concocted by you. Therefore, you can’t recreate a perfume with an identical scent. So, the main point was not something you overlooked, but rather, you simply didn’t know."

Heavens!???

What did they just hear?

Everyone froze in place, the atmosphere suddenly becoming quiet, no one whispered anymore because, to them, this situation was unimaginable.

This perfume, how could it possibly not have been crafted by Margarett Vance?

How could that be?

Sherman Linden trembled, so furious his heart felt like it would explode, but at this moment, words failed him, unable to speak, he could only stare at the stage.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t see anything, leaving only anger.

Margarett Vance’s face was frozen with emotion, her eyes shifting, her breathing grew deep, and for a moment she seemed dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

"Since you can’t concoct this perfume again, and don’t even know the main point, then clearly, this perfume wasn’t created by you..."

Tiana Thorne spoke, her voice growing more subdued, then lazily curled her lips, the light in her fox-like eyes was brilliant yet extremely cold. She slowly moved her lips: "Am I right, Miss Vance?"

If she had said this straight away, everyone would have regarded it as a joke.

But there was indeed a pause at those two questions earlier. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When she spoke the words again, suddenly there was a touch of credibility, forcing everyone to calm down and analyze whether she was telling the truth.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze fell on Margarett Vance’s face.

Their eyes acted like magnifying glasses, amplifying her facial expressions, summarizing it in the end.

Margarett Vance dared not act recklessly, not even showing any hint of panic, she smiled slightly, the light in her eyes filled with confidence, and for the first time, she laughed out loud, adding a touch of flamboyance.

"Miss Thorne, your joke isn’t funny at all, ’not you’ of course was made by me."

Her voice didn’t quiver the least, and her smile was calm, as if she had truly heard a ridiculous joke.

Everyone closely analyzed her facial expressions at this moment, appearing not at all guilty.

Gradually, they began to trust her again.

Tiana Thorne didn’t rush, her playful smile as if treating this grand feast as a game, lazily raised an eyebrow: "Since Miss Vance is so sure, why don’t you prove yourself by creating another perfume with the same scent?"

"Why should I create the same perfume just to appease your doubt? Since I once sent this bottle of perfume for auction and made a promise of its uniqueness, why would I go back on it? To be someone untrustworthy, Miss Thorne, are you trying to make me overturn my principles?"

Hearing her say this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Indeed...

How could someone untrustworthy be a perfumer?

"Tiana Thorne, you’ve turned this well-organized banquet into a mess. What are you up to? What good does it do for you to slander a distinguished perfumer?"

"Right, your identity now is not just a public figure, but also Elsa’s spokesperson. Aren’t you afraid of tarnishing Elsa’s name and being unable to hold your position in the industry?"

"Miss Thorne, it’s best not to trouble Miss Vance anymore. There are geniuses in this world, let it go and focus on more pressing matters like Silas Cobb."

"I also believe in Miss Vance, her recent words completely convinced me, a genius perfumer, she deserves that title."

"Miss Thorne, if you want to ride the wave of popularity, you should ensure it’s grounded in concrete evidence. Making baseless accusations against Miss Vance, don’t you find it too much?"

"Apologize, and let this matter pass. I’m sure Miss Vance won’t hold a grudge against you."

Once again, some people whispered among themselves, in their eyes, Tiana Thorne now seemed like a disruptive force.

At this time, Silas Cobb’s son spoke out: "Daddy..."

Silas Cobb looked down at the child: "Bill, are you hungry?"

Bill pointed at Tiana Thorne, earnestly and obediently saying: "Daddy, I just feel that the older sister didn’t slander her, nor spoke harshly, so why should she apologize?"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback again.

Silas Cobb was puzzled, ruffling his little head: "What do you understand?"

Tiana Thorne also focused on the child.

"The teacher said that everything we do should be based on rationale and reason. That sister wasn’t deliberate, it sounded like she just wanted to explore the mystery of the perfume, but the other sister..."

Speaking, Bill pointed to Margarett Vance, looking slightly puzzled, before tilting his head up to look at his father: "I just wanted to know the mystery, and that sister interrupted. Her words seemed very reasonable, but I always felt she was intentional, which made me dislike Tiana sister."

"Daddy, the teacher also taught me not to dislike someone because of another’s words, and not to overlook the truth. That’s what the teacher taught me, so I don’t think Tiana sister slandered her. Why don’t you all listen to her finish speaking before saying those unpleasant things to her?"

Margarett Vance’s face stiffened, she hadn’t expected that the noble rhetoric she utilized, designed to cut like a knife toward Tiana Thorne, would be discerned by a child.

Bill’s voice was somewhat naive, without deeply expressing his thoughts, just a good child, asking his father out of incomprehension.

Moreover, a child’s mind is pure, at his age, being taught in school, he would look at everything with a beautiful heart.

With his questions, the others in the banquet hall suddenly realized something.

Indeed...

It seemed Tiana Thorne never spoke any insinuating words from start to finish; she simply held doubts about Margarett Vance. But it was Margarett Vance’s words that truly swayed everyone, making Tiana Thorne seem like a gold digger...

Suddenly, everyone began to reevaluate Margarett Vance.

Tiana Thorne smiled radiantly, warming hearts like sunshine: "Bill is such a good boy, sure to be a great student. Don’t worry, you’re so lovely, your mom will surely wake up."

She had already calculated for this child, he doesn’t have the fate of losing a relative in his youth, so Jovana Cobb will wake up.

Thus, she could also deduce Margarett Vance’s malice.
