Chapter 141: True Friends
"Your response is only going to enrage his fans further, after Victor worked so hard to calm them down yesterday. Are you trying to put him in trouble?" The reporter asked.
"If his fans can’t trust his choices and the work he’s involved in, then they don’t deserve to be his fans. Didn’t Victor make it clear in his message that he asked them to trust his decisions?" Natalie countered.
"So, Ms. Natalie, are you sure you haven’t plagiarized this time?" a reporter sent by Sephina asked again, clearly trying to provoke her.
"Do you want me to give it to you in writing with a stamp on it?" Natalie replied sarcastically.
"Well, that won’t be necessary," the reporter continued, "but how about you participate in the upcoming national perfume creators’ contest and prove yourself by winning it?"
"I don’t need any contest to prove myself," Natalie said firmly.
"Are you scared that you’ll be caught again?" the reporter pressed.
"You’re free to think whatever you like," Natalie shot back, glaring at the reporter. "If you’re done asking questions, please excuse me," she added as she began walking away, John by her side. No one dared to stop her.
"Ms. Natalie, do you not dare compete against your sister in the perfume competition because you know she’ll expose you as the thief, plagiarist, you are?" the same reporter called out from behind.
Natalie stopped in her tracks and turned around, her gaze confident and mocking at the same time. "I do dare. But does she?"
"Does that mean you’re participating?" the reporter asked, eager for a direct answer.
