Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Smartly Selected Judges Chapter 233: Smartly Selected Judges Mia stood up from the chair’s handrest and looked at the emcee, who got the hint.

“Alright!

As things have gotten to this, let’s arrange for these two lovely ladies to prove who is the owner of this perfume formula, and we can all enjoy the live show of how to make a perfume,” the emcee said.

“Thankfully, today we had arranged some fun perfume-making events for the guests later on, but it seems like we have to use those resources now for something even better.” Soon the staff arranged the table on the stage.

The table had everything needed to create perfume, such as measuring tools, mixing containers, labels, storing bottles, all kinds of essential oils, bases, fixatives, distilled water, and additives.

The table was set up in a professional way that any perfumer would want to use.

Faye looked at the table.

“Though I am willing to make a perfume here in front of everyone, the way you all are so ready, I am sure there is something wrong with these chemicals, and even if I make it, the perfume won’t turn out the same.

In the end, you all will prove I’m lying, won’t you?” She looked at the lawyer, Shawn, who offered her an approving nod, as if saying she did the right thing, and then himself said, “This place is under the control of Ms.

Natalie and Ms.

Mia.

How can we be assured that there is no foul play going on here?” Shawn then looked at Natalie.

“Ms.

Natalie must have known the original owner of this perfume formula might come forward like this and already set this trap for Ms.

Faye.

When she said Ms.

Faye was allowed inside the event hall even with fake invitation letters, it was clear she had already anticipated it.” Then, He turned to Daniel, Natalie’s lawyer.

“Mr.

Daniel, is it like that your client, Ms.

Natalie, is already guilty and prepared this setup beforehand?

She is using her power against an ordinary person like Ms.

Faye to claim her creation publicly and humiliate her.

Only the guilty one can anticipate coming events and prepare countermeasures.” Daniel remained calm, his expression cold and professional.

“Mr.

Shawn, as a lawyer, you should be the last one to say such things.

Thinking about possible countermeasures with any case is what we lawyers do.

If you think what we do and what Ms.

Natalie did are different, then I should correct you on this.

Do you really think that, with so many enemies waiting for her downfall, she wouldn’t think about preventive measures?

“Moreover, when the formula of her perfume was stolen from her company, do you think she was unaware and reckless enough to leave that formula unprotected?

I’m sorry, but I must remind you that she served as the R&D head of the perfume department for two years at Brown Industries.

No one else but her knows better how to safeguard such critical information.

“Now, who stole whose formula will be proven soon, so let’s not slander each other’s clients in haste.

Any malicious words spoken against my client will be chargeable to the opposite party once my client is proven innocent.” Shawn could not refute this, as nothing had yet been proven.

“What about fair judgment?” Shawn asked.

“How can I be sure my client is not being played?” “Among the guests, we have many experts from the perfume industry and other sectors as well.

All of them are known for their fairness and reputation.

No power can influence them.

You can select any of those people, or even someone from other sectors among our guests,” Daniel said.

“These people are not just attendees but also highly influential individuals.

You should know how powerful each one of them is.” Shawn hummed thoughtfully and scanned the guests.

His gaze settled on a particular figure seated in the first row.

“Ms.

Taylor, the renowned figure in the perfume world, is here.

I would like her to be a judge.” The elegant-looking woman, with a rather serious expression on her face, appeared to be in her late forties.

She offered an approving nod.

He then looked at another woman.

“Mrs.

Cristina Summers, if you do not mind, would you be one of the judges?” A beautiful middle-aged woman, who appeared younger than her age, nodded.

She was the daughter-in-law of one of the four wealthy families, the Summers family, and the mother of Adam Summers.

“And the last one, I would like Mr.

Steve Davis to join,” Shawn said.

“Is it fine with you, Mr.

Davis?

I hope you will not be biased towards Ms.

Mia, as we all know some things€¦” Steve looked at Shawn with a displeased gaze.

“If Mr.

Shawn decided to choose me as one of the judges despite hearing those rumors, then you must already know I won’t be biased.

But if you still dare doubt your own judgment, please feel free to choose someone else and keep me out of it.

You can see this event hall is full of other influential figures, which are no less than me.” Steve’s cold and blunt response left Shawn a little baffled, but not like he had not expected this reaction.

As a skilled lawyer her was, Shawn quickly covered it up.

“Apologies, Mr.

Davis.

I didn’t mean to offend you.

Please, be our third judge.” Steve hummed in acknowledgment, and soon all three of them walked toward the stage and sat in the three chairs arranged for them on that big size stage.

Shawn had chosen individuals strategically, who could not be influenced by Natalie or anyone else.

Ms.

Taylor was known for being strict, righteous, and unflinchingly blunt in her criticism.

Mrs.

Summers came from the wealthiest and most formidable of the four families, making it unlikely that she would side with Natalie.

As for Steve Davis-though rumored to be Mia’s fiancé-he would not dare contradict the decisions of Ms.

Taylor and Mrs.

Summers.

If the result went against Mia and Natalie, Steve’s agreement would only lend more weight to Faye’s side.
