Billionaire’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Not Anymore

Everyone was stunned by Julian’s words.

Few people knew where Seraphina had gone since she disappeared from the business, let alone her

relationship with Julian.

At the moment, the reporters were excited.

Originally, they thought they came here for an ordinary press release. However, they happened to get

news like plagiarism and betrayal. It was indeed a wonderful night.

Seraphina watched Julian walk towards her and say in a sad tone, “You are a member of Prosperian

Company. When did you go to another company without telling us? And… How could you take away

our product?”

Julian’s voice was not loud, but there were microphones beside him, which could make everyone hear

what he said clearly.

“So she’s a traitor. No wonder she would plagiarize,” someone suddenly said.

“She was flattered at the beginning. I remember when she won the Rising Star Award, the media hyped

it. However, what happened later?”

“It’s illegal to steal company secrets. They can call the police!”

“So she doesn’t have a good sense of smell or even a conscience. She looks pretty. I didn’t expect her

to be so despicable!”

The abuse towards Seraphina was so intense that Julian held back his complacency. Although he

hadn’t figured out what was going on for the time being, at least he changed the situation now.

Julian turned around and looked at Karter, the representative of Aroma Delight, arrogantly, pretending

to be generous and saying, “I think your company may not have figured it out and was deceived by

Seraphina. It’s not your fault. I think it’s just a misunderstanding. But everyone knows that the work

belongs to the creator, so obviously First Love is our company’s work.”

“Mr. Brown, did you just say that I was a member of Prosperian Company?” With a faint smile,

Seraphina turned to look at Julian and asked calmly.

Seraphina was so calm that Julian felt a little panicked.

But with so many people watching, Julian calmed down and said, “Not anymore. I’m sorry about what

happened today.”

Seraphina laughed suddenly as if she had heard something funny. She continued to ask, “Not

anymore? Was I a member of your company before?”

“I…”

Before Julian could answer, Seraphina interrupted him, “Mr. Brown, I have never signed any contract

with Prosperian Company. Did we ever have a written agreement? Or have you ever paid me? Do you

have any evidence?”

“Evidence? People in Prosperian Company can prove that you are an employee of Prosperian

Company. What evidence do you need?” Julian asked.

“So, you have no evidence,” simply replied Seraphina.

Julian couldn’t retort.

Back then, Julian knew that Seraphina was loyal to him, so he didn’t sign any contract with her at all.

Moreover, Julian was even more afraid that Seraphina would make trouble for him if she had a

contract.

As for the salary, there was never a certain amount. When Julian was in a good mood, he would

directly transfer more money to Seraphina. Anyway, Seraphina didn’t spend much money since the rent

was paid directly by Julian every month. Julian supported her, so he didn’t pay her salary.

But now, Seraphina used the unpaid salary to attack Julian and joined another company. It was likely

that Julian had no advantage even if they went to court.

“There’s no need to show you the evidence here,” Vivian, who had been standing under the stage for a

long time, couldn’t help but say impolitely.

Vivian raised her chin and looked at Seraphina proudly. “You shouldn’t have wasted our time here. For

the sake of our once-friendship, I won’t care about what happened today, but now please leave,” said

Vivian.

Vivian’s words seemed to enlighten Julian. He stepped forward, pinched Seraphina’s cuff quietly, and

stared at her, whispering, “Seraphina, whatever the misunderstanding might be, we can talk about it

later.”

Julian looked Seraphina in the eye and warned her that if she wanted to continue their relationship, she

had to obey him.

However, Seraphina was no longer the old her.

“Mr. Brown, since you and Ms. Garcia believe you are the victims of plagiarism, how can you not

defend your rights? This competition is fair,” said Seraphina.

Seraphina took a step back, broke away from Julian, and turned around to look at the host with a smile.

“We have handed over the data and sample of First Love to the organizers. I believe there will be a fair

result,” Seraphina said.

“Wait a minute!” Julian raised his head and said, “Since Ms. Jones used to work in our company

before, she had access to the data and samples. If the data are exactly the same, how can you make a

judgment?”

Julian was not sure what would happen.

After all, the data and samples were given by Seraphina. It was sure that the two copies would be Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

identical.

Now that Julian couldn’t stop Seraphina, he had to abandon her and seize the opportunity to make

everyone believe that Seraphina was a thief and a traitor. Only in this way could Julian turn the tide.

At this time, someone whispered to the host. The host straightened up and looked at Julian, saying,

“Mr. Brown, don’t worry about that. The judges have already made a decision, and… Although the

particulars and sample data of both sides are very similar, they are not exactly the same. There are still

some differences.”

“Oh?” Julian was surprised.

And Vivian was a little uneasy, pondering, ‘Different? How could they be different?’

Besides, although the people around were all focusing on the stage, they subconsciously stayed away

from Vivian. Vivian could also smell that strange smell herself from time to time, but she was too

embarrassed to walk away.

“The judges have made a judgment on First Love. The winner is Aroma Delight.”

The host didn’t keep people in suspense and made a straight announcement.

Julian’s face turned pale in an instant.

Then Julian shouted, “Impossible! It’s impossible! We have been researching and developing it for so

long, and we invested so much effort and money, how can they win? First Love belongs to Prosperian

Company and we have proof!

“You can’t suppress a small company like Prosperian Company just because Aroma Delight has Apex

Corporation as its backer. It’s not fair to newcomers in the industry! Although small companies are not

so powerful now, we are still contributing to the perfume industry. If the competition does this to

Prosperian Company, it will upset Prosperian Company and other medium-sized companies that have

worked as hard as us but are suppressed!”

Julian’s words touched many people in the industry present.

In the current market, after all, there were only a few leading enterprises. Many small companies kept

participating in competitions and exhibitions to improve their popularity step by step and expand their

market share gradually.

But if they were suppressed by major companies, it was likely that all their efforts would be in vain.

“That’s right. Since the two works are similar, why is Aroma Delight the winner?” someone questioned.

“Obviously, it’s an inside job! Maybe Mr. Brown should call the police!”

Seraphina raised her eyebrow and looked at Julian. He was standing there with an air of integrity that

made people unconsciously believe him.

“Mr. Brown has been talking about the evidence, so I’ll show it to you.” Seraphina turned sideways and

took two small bottles from the staff of Aroma Delight.
