Ella piped up, “Please return to your seats accordingly. Otherwise, I’ll show you the door.”
As the reporters thought about how important the press conference was, coupled with how fierce the ever-ready security guards looked, they did not dare to raise a ruckus and returned to their seats obediently.
However, a few of them continued to murmur among themselves.
When Rayna walked up the stage, the person in charge of Egret Scents, Marcelo, and the perfumer, Felipe Saunders, stood up immediately and shook her hand.
“Ms. Garland.”
Rayna smiled politely at them and said, “Thank you for making time to attend today’s event.”
“Please don’t mention it. It hasn’t been easy on us too,” Marcelo said. “Someone created an issue out of nothing and slandered us. Egret Scents was clearly the first company to launch the products. How on earth have we become the bad guy? We hope you can clarify the matter today, Ms. Garland.”
“Don’t worry.” Rayna smiled. “The reporters are here for one reason only, which is to reveal the truth as to why our perfume shares an identical scent as yours.”
Marcelo’s heart skipped a beat when he saw how confident Rayna was.
She must have discovered something, or else she wouldn’t have called for a press conference. I bet we’re going to get it rough today.
After sitting down, Marcelo asked Felipe discreetly, “Are you sure you were the one who formulated the perfume? You didn’t steal Glory’s idea?”
Felipe panicked, but he quickly kept calm and answered, “Yes, I formulated it myself.”
“Good.” Marcelo felt more assured upon hearing his reply. “Since we’re the first to launch the perfume, all we need to do is to insist that Glory plagiarized us.”
Felipe nodded. I’ve deleted the recipient records, so it’s impossible for Glory to have dirt on me. I’m sure the press conference is just a show.
Soon, Ella put the items requested by Rayna in front of her.
There were two bottles of perfume samples, several pieces of fragrance tester strips, and a document.
