Chapter 13

Finley watched on with a cold expression. It wasn’t enough to snatch first place from Tricia. Just like how her half-sister had ruined her reputation in school and caused her to be expelled, she would destroy any chance Tricia had in making a splash in the perfume industry through this competition.
