The revelation was so shocking that the room fell into a deathly silence after Garnett had finished speaking.
Journalists glanced at each other in disbelief, unable to comprehend the information they had just been given.
After all, it was absurd to suggest that Frederick, the CEO of a successful perfume company, who had personally designed numerous popular fragrances, had lost his sense of smell. It was like a cruel joke.
But Garnett seemed to have anticipated their reaction.
A secretary handed him a stack of documents that had been prepared in advance. Accepting them, Garnett turned to face the cameras.
"These are Mr. Winston's medical records from the past three years. I wouldn't have made this conclusion without evidence!"
The room gasped collectively as he presented the documents.
Marguerite kept her eyes glued to the screen, straining until they hurt, but she couldn't make sense of what she was seeing.
Robert, who had accompanied Frederick on his numerous medical consultations, immediately recognized the records in Garnett's hands. They were real.
And they were the originals!
How was that possible?
Frederick's icy demeanor seemed to peak at that moment, his dark eyes sharp and intimidating. His gaze fell on Robert, "What is going on?"
"I don't know, I swear I destroyed all those documents!"
If they had been destroyed, how did they end up in Garnett's hands?
Who could have leaked them?
Marguerite's mind was a whirlwind of confusion, the more she thought about it, the more things didn't add up.
Suddenly, a pair of manipulative eyes flashed in her mind.
Steven!
Yes, it had to be him!
Finally, she accepted the keys from Robert and headed for the door.
"Marguerite." The deep sound of Frederick's voice stopped her in her tracks. She turned to see him watching her.
"Call me when you get home."
Marguerite took a deep breath and nodded, her mind a mess.
Go home?
She wasn't going home!
She needed to get to the bottom of this!
Marguerite hopped into Robert's car and headed for Steven's house. Miley called her on the way, and she put the call on speaker.
"Marguerite! What on earth is happening? Did Mr. Winston really lose his sense of smell? The internet is going crazy. They're saying Mr. Winston deceived customers, and that his previous fragrances must have been plagiarized! LuxeScents International is facing a crisis of trust!"
