Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Half Part Only

A few minutes before the time ran out, Natalie finished making her perfume. Finally, everyone in the audience let out a sigh of relief.

Natalie carried her creation to the judges and placed the tray in front of them. All five judges tested it one by one, their expressions shifting noticeably. They looked at each other in disbelief, then turned their gazes to Natalie.

They examined the formula Natalie had written, and their expressions changed once more.

Briena, standing to the side, smirked smugly. Now it’s time for your downfall, Natalie.

"Ms. Natalie, you and Ms. Briena have created exactly the same perfume. How can that be?" one of the judges asked.

Whispers rippled through the hall, the audience stunned.

"Has she plagiarized Briena again?"

"Seems like it. Briena finished first, clearly knowing what she was creating, while Natalie looked lost and confused."

Despite the murmurs, Natalie remained calm and composed, her expression serious and unwavering.

The judges turned to Briena. "Ms. Briena, what do you have to say about this?"

Briena walked confidently toward the judges and stood beside Natalie, adopting a sorrowful expression. "I have no idea why her perfume is similar to mine. I worked hard to create it, and the formula is imprinted in my memory, which is why I could make it faster and perfectly."

Her words, spoken with a tone of feigned innocence, clearly implied her accusation.

Someone from the audience shouted loudly, "Natalie Ford, have you stolen your sister’s work again, just like in the past? I’m sure you did. You don’t deserve to be here."

The hall buzzed with accusations.
