At the event hall, all the guests were enjoying the event, even after the interruption.
"I told you she could handle it," Silvia said.
Victor frowned. "Don’t act like you know her."
"Maybe I do," Silvia teased with a smile.
"Then you are mistaken," Victor retorted, ready to move away while Silvia didn’t stop him.
Standing by his side, she could feel his anger when Faye was insulting Natalie, but he had masked it well behind his calm expressions, as the skilled actor he was.
Mia’s parents ca to them and couldn’t help but praise them.
Mia’s mother imdiately hugged Natalie and said, "I am sorry. I almost doubted you today for the first ti."
Seeing the sad face of a woman who had always treated her well, despite what others said, Natalie replied, "It’s alright, Aunty. That Faye is to bla."
"My mother is so innocent to fall for swindlers like Faye," Mia said and looked at her mother. "It’s alright."
"You two did well today," Mia’s father said to both of them and then looked at his daughter. "I had been worried about how you would fight against these crafty business types who would try to pull you down, but it seems like I don’t have to worry anymore."
Mia smiled. "Thank you, Dad."
Morris patted his sister’s head. "I can truly be worry-free now," he said, looking at Natalie. "Together, you two are amazing. I am sure soon this business world will have two strong won rising."
Both of them thanked him for his generous praise.
Many guests personally ca to Mia’s parents and praised them for having children like Morris and Mia. Everyone was already aware of Morris’s capabilities, but seeing Mia today made them all recognize her own strengths.
As they busied themselves with the guests, soone finally asked, "Ms. Natalie, why did that woman, Faye, say the perfu for n and won is the sa, while we could clearly sll it’s totally different?"
"When I was making the perfu, you must have noticed that I filled the sa perfu into both bottles," Natalie said, to which others nodded.
"Though the perfu was made the sa, before filling the bottles, I added two different chemicals to them, which are transparent and odorless. These chemicals made the perfus different for both genders, but when it’s still in the bottle, it slls the sa because the added chemical is odorless. So, what must make those perfus change their sll?" Natalie asked.
Ms. Taylor smiled as she understood already, while Natalie explained, "The particular chemical in a n’s bottle or won’s bottle has the ability to change the perfu’s odor once applied to the skin. It blends with the unique, subtle scent your own pheromones carry and makes that unique scent more prominent. That’s why, when you all were going to test the perfu, I asked you to use it on your skin."
"No wonder I liked the scent imdiately and found it so unique," one guest comnted.
Everyone was delighted to hear the explanation. Each guest was gifted a set of perfu bottles as a thank-you gesture.
Ms. Taylor and Mrs. Sumr approached Natalie.
"Natalie, if you have ti, would you like to et again?" Ms. Taylor asked. "I believe we will have things to talk about."
"I will, but probably in a week," Natalie replied.
As if she understood sothing, Ms. Taylor smiled and humd.
Cristina Sumr, a gentle, elegant, and wealthy-looking woman, said, "I’ve seen you in person when you were still young, probably around five or six. You used to tag along with Caryn everywhere. Seeing you all grown up now, I can tell—you look like her. Beautiful and charismatic, just like your mother." Cristina then looked at Ms. Taylor. "What do you think, Geneve?"
"How can I deny your judgnt, Cristina," Ms. Taylor replied.
Natalie was taken aback by the sudden praise and ntion of her mother but quickly regained her composure and thanked the lady politely. One could see from the way these two talked that they were close friends.
"Are you forgetting sothing, Cristina?" Ms. Taylor asked.
"What?"
"A few days back, there were rumors that your son Adam is the mysterious man who spent two billion on dancing with Natalie," Ms. Taylor replied.
Natalie was taken aback once more. Just as Cristina looked at her, Natalie spoke, "That’s just a rumor. I don’t know Mr. Adam in person at all. And I am truly married and happy with my husband."
The two won chuckled.
"It’s so refreshing to see you so flustered like a cat after seeing the kind of tigress you are, Natalie," Ms. Taylor teased.
Cristina smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I know that’s not my son."
"What if it was?" Ms. Taylor asked.
"Didn’t you hear she is married? Don’t embarrass the poor girl," Cristina warned playfully. "And stop showing your teeth already, or your image of being strict and cold, which you’ve maintained for so many years, will crumble to pieces."
Ms. Taylor stopped smiling. "You’re right."
The event was a success, and what happened during it only added to its imnse popularity. Victor and Silvia’s fans were already supporting it, but after watching Natalie skillfully make perfus and tackle the one who tried to scam her, many people suddenly started to respect her, and so even beca fans of the scandal queen Natalie.
Once all the guests had left, Natalie and Mia remained. Natalie slumped into a soft chair, giving her back a much-needed break.
"Are you alright?" Victor asked, seeing her looking tired.
Seeing Natalie adjust a cushion behind her back and groaning a little, she said, "I’m alright, but I’ll feel better if you complete today’s shoot on ti and don’t keep those poor people waiting."
Victor sighed and was about to say sothing, but Natalie continued, "Just listen to today. The shoot is important."
Though unwilling, Victor left, frowning at her stubbornness.
Once he left, Mia asked her, "Is Mr. Harper that aggressive in bed that he broke your back?"
