Chapter 764 What Do You Mean?

Michelle sneered, “Rosanna, it’s okay to be scheming once or twice, but if you use it too often, there will always be flaws. Aren’t you tired of belittling others and praising yourself?”

“Senior Sister said that I’m belittling you? How can that be? Isn’t that the truth? Your ranking this time is behind mine!”

“You…”

Michelle stopped in her tracks, but Shen Qianrou continued to lead her up the stairs.

“Rosanna, do you finally stop pretending because you think you’ve won the championship and your reputation is above mine?”

The two of them had already stepped onto the stage. Shen Qianrou retracted her hand and distanced herself from Michelle. At the same time, she said disdainfully,

“Since Senior Sister misses me so much, I have nothing to say. If Senior Sister feels uncomfortable being under me, I don’t mind keeping a distance from you.”

Michelle was almost driven mad by Shen Qianrou’s shamelessness. When she was nothing, how many gentlemen and socialites had she befriended because of her popularity? Now that she had achieved success, she was in a hurry to cut ties with her!

Such an ungrateful act was simply detestable.

“Rosanna, you’re too arrogant. You don’t know how to give yourself leeway. Sooner or later, you’ll regret it!”

Shen Qianrou sneered and said, “Let’s wait and

see.”

From now on, she was the world champion. There were many people who fawned on her. Naturally, she didn’t lack Michelle!

Shen Qianrou stood in the middle of the stage while Michelle stood angrily on her right.

Shen Fanxing went on stage from the other side. When she saw Shen Qianrou and Michelle standing there, her lips curled into a mocking smile.

Then, she walked slowly to Shen Qianrou’s left. There was a huge distance between them.

The obvious distance made everyone feel awkward.

Shen Qianrou turned to look at her and frowned.

What did she mean by that?

The host also stepped forward to help adjust her position. “Miss, can you stand in the middle of the stage?”

Shen Fanxing shook her head and said in fluent French,

“The air there is too dirty. I’m afraid of being infected.”

This sentence didn’t sound nice, but she didn’t know what it meant.

But immediately after, Michelle, who was standing on Shen Qianrou’s right, suddenly moved to the side. Only then did everyone understand.

This dirty air originated from the person standing in the middle.

Shen Qianrou’s face turned livid with anger.

She turned around and glared at Michelle. Hearing the low laughter below the stage, Shen Qianrou’s face turned pale and she gritted her teeth! The host looked embarrassed. It seemed like he couldn’t convince them anymore. He could only continue.

“Next, let’s welcome the world-renowned perfumer, Senior Sunnyford, to announce and award the third-place winner of the XX International Fragrance Competition!”

Amidst the applause, Sunnyford went on stage. After a respectful speech, he officially announced,

“The third-place winner of the XX International Fragrance Competition, ‘Eternity’ (Eternal), congratulations to Miss Michelle!”

There was thunderous applause from the audience, but Michelle’s face darkened.

Third place? Third place?

Why?!

She was clearly in second place previously!

Could it be…

She turned to look at the woman in a white gown standing on the left and bit her lower lip.

When she retracted her gaze, she saw Shen Qianrou’s gloating and disdainful gaze.

Michelle felt indignant, but she could only accept the trophy that was handed to her. Then, she slowly took off her mask and forced a smile before giving her acceptance speech.

After that was the award ceremony.

“Alright, next, let’s welcome the winner of the International Fragrance Competition.”

“I hereby announce that the second-place winner of the XX International Fragrance Competition is Zhaoxue. Congratulations, Miss Rosanna!”

The applause was sparse and pitiful. Because of what had just happened, everyone knew that Rosanna was the champion of the scent-making competition. But now, she had suddenly become the runner-up? Shen Qianrou’s face paled and she clenched her fists tightly. “Ha…”

Michelle’s sarcastic laughter was like a knife that stabbed Shen Qianrou’s heart.

She removed the mask on her face and turned her head in disbelief to look at Vice President At Hua, who was walking towards her with the trophy. She bit her lips and looked resistant.

Jiang Rongrong and Su Heng’s faces darkened. How did the champion become the second

place?

“Congratulations, Rosanna!”

Shen Qianrou bit her lips and looked at the trophy with a complicated expression.

However, the world champion…

That should make sense…

She took a deep breath, smiled and reached for the trophy.

Even though he was only the runner-up, even though he was only the runner-up…

However, just as her hand was about to touch the trophy, a fair hand touched it and pushed the trophy aside!

Shen Qianrou’s fingers reached out instinctively, but she missed and curled them in mid-air.

Vice President Atwa frowned in confusion.

It was the champion candidate who should have been standing beside her.

He asked unhappily in French, “Why did you do that?”

Shen Fanxing replied in French, “Vice-President, it’s better not to award this trophy.” “Why?”

“Because it doesn’t belong to her, and this woman doesn’t have the right to have it!” The entire venue fell silent. If she couldn’t win the championship, she wouldn’t even be qualified to be the runner-up?

Shen Qianrou trembled in anger.

“Why exactly?”

“Because her work is suspected of plagiarism.”

Vice President Athua frowned instantly, his face full of anger!

“What did you say?!”

Shen Fanxing took a deep breath and scanned the audience before nodding.

Immediately after, a staff member ran towards the stage with a document in his hand. He whispered something to the Vice President and saw the anger on his face deepen!

“Have you verified it?”

The staff nodded. “Indeed. But Vice President…”

He paused and looked solemnly at Shen Fanxing, who was calm and composed.

“I’ve just received orders from Princess Matilda…”

Hearing the staff’s words, At Hua’s expression changed!

He took a deep look at Shen Fanxing before looking up at Shen Qianrou.

“What do you mean?” Shen Qianrou asked immediately.

Vice President At Hua’s face turned cold. “Sorry, this award can’t be given to you!”
