Sweet Revenge

Chapter 20

Chapter 20:I didn’t say that

The rumor was —Simon was cold blooded and cold-hearted, and his methods were cruel and ruthless, so Silvia never thought that he would be so warm and thoughtful in private.

The water temperature was really suitable, Silvia comfortably took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and extremely comfortable personal items, the physiological discomfort was greatly reduced, and she felt truly relaxed.

He was right, there was no rush. She should, indeed, get some rest.

After a short nap, Simon wrapped his arms around her giving her a solid sense of security, and the two of them just held each other, doing nothing but simply sleeping, but Silvia experienced a different kind of peace and happiness.

After sleeping for about an hour or so, she woke up and found that her phone full of missed calls.

Ladarius was really in a hurry, but the more he was in a hurry. the less she was.

She changed into a plain white dress without any special decoration or design, just a very simple style, but it fits her figure very well, and it was very elegant.

Before leaving, Simon Wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her neck, “I really don’t want to let go of you.”

“Whether you let go or not, I’m all yours.”

Wrapping her arms around his neck, Silvia stood on her tiptoes and placed a soft kiss on the side of his cheek.

Unexpectedly, he caught her and gave her a deep kiss.

It was hot and lingering. She vaguely and gently pushed back, “Well… so much for my lipstick…”

Two more light pecks before letting go, “I’ll have Freddie wait outside and come back for you when it’s over.”

“Mmm.” She nodded before turning around to leave.

When she arrived at the venue, Ladarius had been waiting for her and immediately scolded her.

“What’s wrong with you? You didn’t answer all the calls. Did you get in touch with Carmelo’s people again? Have I not told you clearly enough?Do you understand the stakes? You …”

Silvia raised hier eyes and her gaze coldly swept over Ladarius. He choked, the words suddenly stuck in his throat.

“Come on in if you’re here.”

They paused in the entrance before going into the venue and Ladarius quickly repeated,”I have told you before. You know what to say.After today, V.L will be able to go to a higher level. Silvia! Listen to me! I have always known you to be very sensible, but today… look at you!”

Silvia listened well, always with a quiet and decent smile on her face.

She did not say atiything and Ladarius’s heart felt a little panicked. He wanted to say something more, but felt that everything ihat should be said had been said.

Finally, he raised his hand and pressed il on her shoulder, moved closer to her ear, and said in a voice that only two people could lear, “I believe you, but you’d better not play tricks again, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruihless.”

Alter saying that, he slowly released his hand, and his eyes looked at lier with extreme affection.

If she didn’t know better, Silvia would have thought he was whispering something about love.

Silvia’s eyes were slightly cold as she turned around and walked towards the venue.

Just walking it, she was immediately blinded by the flashing lights inside.

The reporters raised their cameras to “click” and “click” to take pictures.

Silvia paused in her steps, quickly adjusted herself and walked quickly towards the stage.

There was a row of tables in front of her, with several V.L. executives sitting on either side of her, and three seats in the middle for Ladarius, Vivienne, and… for her.

Well, the most middle seat was really suitable.

She walked straight over and sat down.

Vivienne was already there, she glanced at Ladarius and saw that he gave her an “OK” gesture, which made her feel a bit more relaxed.

The press conference soon began, and Ladarius opened with a straightforward statement.

“I believe you all know about last night’s episode of the city’s new perfume competition, of which, there is some misunderstanding

This press conference today is to give an explanation to all of you through your friends in the media, to your colleagues who care about this matter and to all of you.”

“Last night’s entry. ‘First Love’, was very well received, but there was a collision between two companies and a dispute over its ownership.

The main people involved in the incident are sitting here. I will not say much. Will the two parties please come up and speak clearly?

With that, the microphone was passed to Vivienne first.

She wore a black one-shoulder dress today, looking very imposing, and interestingly, she contrasted with Silvia on her side, one black and one white.”

Vivienne was used to being in front of a crowd and smiled lightly and then spoke, “Hello everyone, I am Vivienne, the chief perlumer of V.L.”

V.L’s chief perfumer, Silvia lowered her eyes and smiled lightly.

“I’m sure everyone has read about yesterday’s incident. Mr. Ladarius also spoke briefly about this, so I won’t repeat that here.

I just want to say, from the beginning of my contact with this line,

I know that, in addition to talent, what is more important is hard work. Only with conscientious and continuous practice and experimentation will there be satislaclory results.”

“Pul your mind on the right path more than anything else. Il you try to take a short cut, even if you find success in the short termi, iri the end, it won’t last long Wouldn’t you agree, Silvia?”

Vivienne linislied her speech, lightly throwing the lopic to Silvia, directly to her side of the war. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

As expected, everyone’s attention went to Silvia, taking pictures as they waited to hear what she had to say.

Even if there was no explicit accusation in Vivienne’s words, who can not hear the meaning? Silvia was the thief who stole someone else’s work and ideas!

Facing the microphone, Silvia didn’t rush to speak, she looked around the whole room without any haste, sweeping her eyes almost all over the room.

When Ladarius was a bit anxious and could hardly resist nudging her, he finally heard her say, “Yes, I agree with what Miss Vivienne said: it is more important to keep your mind on the right path than anything else. Talent is important, hard work is more important.”

Ladarius and Vivienne kept their social smiles, but they were just a bit confused.

It was clear that Silvia was just repeating Vivienne’s words, not even changing the words, almost exactly the same, but why was there a sense of foreboding when it came out of her mouth?

“So Miss Silvia, you are admitting that you stole Miss Vivienne’s ideas and achievements?”A reporter asked a direct

question.
