Her voice, cold and unwavering, left a truly sincere impression on people.

All the guests stared at her, remembering the ridiculous situation just minutes ago. Some looked ashamed and avoided eye contact.

Realizing the moment had arrived, Lilah spoke again. "Trey has been through this too. He poured his heart into creating his work, with passion and dedication, hoping to share a unique fragrance with everyone. But things didn't go as planned. He was framed, his work stolen and misrepresented. It caused him a lot of distress for a while."

The guests gazed in disbelief at the young man on the stage, who kept his head down, silent.

They hadn't imagined that he had endured such an unfair experience.

"I'm really sorry, everyone. I didn't think this would spoil your mood. On behalf of the Phillips Group, I apologize. I hope you won't hold it against our products. Now let's get back to the event. Each of you here today can receive a free perfume gift box of your choice."

With that, Lilah gave a bow to the audience.

Immediately, the room filled with enthusiastic applause.

Thus, the trouble was finally resolved.

Trey descended from the stage stiffly, still reeling from the shock.

He had felt like he was facing death. Just as he was about to be ruthlessly expelled from the perfume industry, Lilah emerged like a hero and saved him.

It was like a narrow escape from death's grasp.

The ordeal was unbearable.

He felt like crying.

"Lilah," he called out to Lilah, who was walking ahead. He wiped his tears and was about to kneel down.

Startled, Lilah hurriedly supported Trey, saying, "What are you doing?"

She was amused by his reaction.

Trey, despite being an adult man, started crying again like a child.

“Thank goodness you are here. Otherwise, I might have had to jump off the roof of our office building today to prove my innocence."

"You're such a naive kid. Clearly, there was someone pulling the strings behind all this. What's there to fear? Life has its ups and downs. Now that everything's sorted, stand tall and keep moving forward!" Devonte chuckled as he patted Trey's shoulder, teasing him gently. Then he resumed comforting Trey, who seemed a bit silly.

Others joined in to console Trey one after the other.

Even Jerrold spoke up in a gentle tone. “Trey, you're amazing. My mommy has talked about you, and I really admire you too."

Tears streamed down Trey's face even more uncontrollably.

He gestured and said, "I'll take you all out for a meal later."
