Jenny remained silent as the others in the room were shocked. They turned their heads to each other
as if questioning who had leaked the information to Lily.
Lily looked at Jenny‘s composed face. “These three fragrance lines, or should I say they‘re all from the Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
same line, each contains one distinct ingredient from the other two lines. As a result, they differ just
slightly from each another. Of course, you could argue they‘re from different fragrance lines since
they‘re not identical.”
“Really?” Jenny smirked wryly, attempting to convince Lily that she was merely embarrassing herself by
being wrong.
Lily did not falter or question herself. Instead, she continued with determination, “Yes! These three
fragrances contain only one different ingredient each, and the average consumer would not be able to
tell them apart. However, those that regularly use perfumes would be able to detect it. In time, the
distinct differences between these fragrances would be more noticeable.”
Lily lifted her finger and pointed toward the bottle on the right. “I believe this would be the best
fragrance amongst female consumers aged 18 to 23.”
The room was dead silent. Not a single soul confirmed her statement, nor did anyone correct her. They
were simply quiet.
Jenny glanced at her with an unreadable expression, then asked in a condescending tone, “Are you
sure?”
“I‘m sure!” Lily nodded unfalteringly. Jenny smacked her lips, saying nothing. Her eyes were no longer
looking at Lily with disdain. Instead, she looked deep in thought.
“I know this is part of my test, and if you‘re unsatisfied with my performance, I can also list the
ingredients in these fragrances...” Just as she finished her sentence, she started verbally listing the
ingredients used to produce them.
By the time Lily began, she had won over most in the room who had previously questioned her abilities.
It was not just a matter of capabilities, as most people in the room could not pinpoint the exact
differences between those three fragrances. Still, someone as plain as her, embroiled in controversy
and a lawsuit, could tell them apart immediately.
Jenny also purposefully placed Lily in the spotlight. Despite that, Lily was unaffected in her ability to
examine and investigate the fragrances in question rationally. Some were already giving her thumbs up
discreetly as their impression of Lily took a turn for the better.
Though this was the case, there was not a hint of joy found on Lily‘s face. She remained calm and
collected when she accepted the challenge to an easy victory, but she knew it was too easy. From her
understanding of Jenny‘s character, Jenny would not just let her off the hook quickly. “Well done,”
Jenny finally spoke, “You are right. The list of ingredients you‘ve listed was accurate as well. From the
looks of it, you‘re not like the rumors said you were. You‘re quite capable.” “Still, you didn‘t even try to
open those bottles and smell them. I wonder, how would you be
able to know about the ingredients used to such detail… unless... someone might have told you?”
Jenny reached out to touch the edge of a bottle and looked sharply at Lily.
Jenny was trying to accuse her of cheating!
Lily finally smiled, “Ms. Thorn, you‘re so funny. You‘re the one who set up the challenge. Besides, our
wager wasn‘t even planned. Who would‘ve been able to predict the future and disclose such specific
information to me?”
Lily looked around the room and saw heads nodding, agreeing to what she had just said. Jenny gave
her a meaningful glance, “Okay, then.”
