Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 266: Dedicated To Husband

The judges decided to stay calm and composed as they still had to fulfill their job. While the organisers had to take charge of the everything, given the chaotic situation in the event hall.

"Everyone, please calm down," The main organiser addressed the audience, who seemed enraged at what had happened and how Briena Ford had fooled them all.

"We are yet to know about the perfume Ms. Natalie has made, and we have yet to decide the result of this competition and conclude it. The rest of the matters will be discussed later with the parties involved." One of the judges said as well.

At the words from the respected judge, everyone calmed down.

Ms. Taylor turned to Natalie, "Ms. Natalie, can you explain to us the theme of this amazing perfume you have created?"

Natalie nodded and began, her expression focused and confident as she explained her own creation, which held a deep meaning for her.

"This perfume is named Reclaim & Resonate. The first part of the perfume is ’Reclaim,’ which shows one’s aspiration to claim what originally belonged to them, their ambition, and their will to fight back against injustice. The second part is ’Resonate,’ which means to keep the first part at bay, acting as its anchor, not letting it change from what it was, while supporting it unconditionally. Together, they create a perfect and unique scent of trust, care, love, and respect."

The theme was perfect and matched the perfume. The judges could not find even a tinge of imperfection in the perfume or the theme. Everyone hummed in delight.

Ms. Taylor, who rarely showed any expression, could not help smiling gently and asked again, "Every creation has inspiration hidden behind it. Will you tell us what inspires you to create this?"
