Chapter 45
The so–called “Best New Perfumer of the Year” was simply a thief who had stolen the hard
work of someone else–and even tried to frame them for it.
Regina began to fall apart. She had no idea that Genevieve had so many cards up her sleeve.
She begged, “Zach! Save me! Zach, please save me!”
The head of the International Perfumer Summit Association walked onstage, his expression
solemn.
He spoke into the microphone. “I hereby announce that we will be taking back all of the awards that Ms. Sloane has ever won from us. This form of dishonest cheating and business fraud has also made us decide that Regina Sloane will be blacklisted from the International Perfumer Summit Association for good.”
Forever blacklisted!
Those two words were like a decisive stamp on the rest of her career.
Regina crumbled to the ground as her legs grew weak. She was ultimately carried out of the room by the guards.
At the same time, Zachary was throwing a fit in his office on the top floor of Lambert Group.
He stared at the livestream, where Regina was pictured being dragged offstage. His gaze was
full of fury.
His phone was ringing like crazy, and his assistant’s phone almost exploded from how many calls they were getting.
“Mr. Lambert! We’re in trouble! Our company’s stocks are dropping! The PR department’s landline is about to explode. Media representatives keep calling to ask about how Regina is related to our company! Some of the endorsements we have on hand have already ended their partnerships with us!”
Bad news flooded in like an avalanche.
On one corner of the screen, a row of rolling financial news headlines made his eyes water.
“Lambert Group’s Share Prices Crash After Being Affected by the Plagiarism Scandal of the Year!”

The onscreen graph showed a green line slanting downward.

Zachary’s temple was throbbing. He finally understood why Genevieve didn’t want any from Lambert Group.

She didn’t even want to let Lambert Group off the hook!
“Release a public statement!” he roared at the PR manager on the other end of the phone.” Right now! Immediately!
“Tell everyone that Regina’s actions have nothing to do with the company. From today onward, Lambert Group will suspend all its posts featuring her. We will be pursuing legal
action.”
He had to cut all ties with Regina quickly and cleanly.
Even though he felt sorry toward her, he had to protect the Lambert family. He believed that Regina would understand.
During the summit, right after Regina was dragged offstage, Genevieve became the new star of the show. She stood onstage and said calmly, “I would like to use this opportunity to announce something. My private studio will be releasing a new perfume series. The theme of
this series will be ‘Rebirth‘.
“For this series, we will be inviting all the new perfumers to join us. Any rookie perfumers who wish to challenge themselves are welcome to join us at my studio. We’ll be choosing suitable perfumes from your creations to add to the Rebirth series. As for the perfumers whose creations have been chosen, you will receive an invitation to join our studio.”
The moment she finished speaking, the crowd erupted into loud applause.
Blossom Studio’s website crashed three times in ten minutes. It had been five years since they
had recruited anyone new.
None of the rookies at the International Perfumer Summit wanted to miss such an
opportunity. Genevieve’s era was only just about to begin.
In the break room backstage, Hannah was watching the hashtag #BlossomStudio Rookies explode in popularity all over social media. Her lips curved up in a smile.
Genevieve sat on the couch and relaxed completely, shedding the impressive aura she had
onstage. She began sipping water carefully.
Suddenly, one of the workers knocked and entered the room.

“Ms. Whitfield, these flowers are for you.”
It was a bouquet of stunningly bright blue irises.
A simple black card was stuck in the middle of the bouquet. There were three gold letters
embossed on it along with a simple sentence.
“From: URI Corporation
“Congratulations. Your first step is breathtaking.”
