Chapter 303 The Appearance of the Investors
Knowing the rules is already a big loophole. Freya thought to herself.
She took a step back and created some distance between herself and Helga.
Helga didn’t notice this detail and whispered to Freya, “The staff will come soon. There will be the first round of
competition, which is a surprise. The goal is to eliminate more than a hundred people directly down to fifty-two.”
She looked at Freya smugly and said, “You probably didn’t expect it to be this intense. Because of you, the
anticipation and viewership for this show are high, so the production. team has invested a considerable amount of
money in the organizing committee, and the pressure multiplied. So, the media needs these gimmicks to attract
more viewers.”
Freya was a bit surprised. “You seem to know a lot.”
“Not really. Just enough to get by. It’s good to know a little of everything,” Helga said with a smile before looking at
Freya with a hint of false worry. “Miss Kaufmann, you just need to pass this round, and you’ll be in the ranking. Even
famous perfumers will struggle to enter the first 50 places in such a big competition.”
Freya nodded with a smile.
Helga noticed her indifferent attitude towards her and cursed inwardly, “Why is she so arrogant? She’s lucky to
come from a good family. Well, she won’t even pass this round!”
Helga saw that Freya was no longer paying attention to her, so she stood there with pride and wasn’t bothered to
speak to Freya anymore.
On the other hand, the other girls continued to gossip about Helga, who was already annoyed by Freya’s attitude.
She immediately turned and argued with one of the girls.
However, the girl couldn’t win the argument and was scolded by Helga, “If you don’t have the ability, don’t talk

society, will you not compete with your seniors? Do you think everyone in society will accommodate you just
because you’re here?!” Helga’s words were harsh, but they had some truth to them. The surrounding people fell
silent, and the girl couldn’t help but sob.
Freya’s eyes held a hint of mockery. Helga’s words sounded reasonable, but she already knew the rules of the
competition. That in itself wasn’t fairness.
Someone wanted to speak up for the girl but was glared at by Helga. Fortunately, the staff from the organizing
committee arrived quickly and looked at everyone.

“Please quiet down, everyone. I’d like to introduce a few people to you. The staff member smiled at everyone and
pointed to several cars nearby.
Someone stepped forward and invited a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties from the first car. The man wore a
checkered duckbill cap and had a kind and gentle.
appearance.
The staff member smiled and said, “This is the director for the live broadcast.”
Next, the director gave a speech about which platforms the live broadcast would be on and reminded everyone to
pay attention to their image. After introducing the director, the staff member introduced several judges from the
organizing committee.
These judges were all big shots in the industry and were in a completely different league from Helga. Freya had a
rough idea of who the judges were, and it seemed unlikely that Helga could influence all of them, even if she tried
to use connections.
After the judges were introduced, the last to be introduced were the investors.
So, the staff member smiled and said, “We have four investors for this perfumery contest. We will now invite them
out and sincerely thank them for their investment in this competition.”
Freya’s heart skipped a beat as her gaze fell on one of the cars. The car looked ordinary, but the emblem on the
car revealed the Monaghan family.
“First, we have the Callahan Group from Hartterre. The representative is Mr. Inken Callahan, the general manager
of the Callahan Group.”
Freya’s thoughts were interrupted, and she heard a few girls around her exclaiming, “Mr. Inken is the heir of the
Callahan family.”
“I heard that Mr. Inken is the only son of the Callahan family. If you can date him, it would be amazing…”
“He’s rich and handsome, but unfortunately, he’s not in good health.”
A local girl from Hartterre whispered, “I heard that Mr. Inken is sickly. He has had poor health since he was young.
Would you be willing to marry him? With his condition, he might not even be able to satisfy you in bed.”
Freya couldn’t help but burst into laughter at this remark. It would be interesting if Brisa and Inken heard this. Brisa
would probably take pleasure in this and laugh uncontrollably, while Mr. Inken himself would be furious.
She smiled and looked up to meet Inken’s eyes. She didn’t know when, but he was already standing in front of her
with a warm smile.
“What are you laughing about?” Inken asked with a straight face. He was pretending not to

know her since others couldn’t know their relationship.
Freya put on a polite expression and said, “Mr. Inken, I just remembered a joke.”
“Oh? A joke? Do tell me when you have the time,” Inken said with a smile.
Then, Freya heard a faint voice behind her. “Mr. Inken is so gentle.”
Gentle my foot. Freya silently muttered in her heart as she looked at Inken.
This b*stard looks completely different today compared to his healthy and shrewd appearance at the restaurant
yesterday.
Inken was wearing an elegant white suit with his hair combed back without any hair wax. His soft hair, combined
with his innocent face, made him look like a handsome nobleman from ancient paintings.
He looked harmless and weak, and anyone would pity that he had such a frail body. He made. people feel that the
heavens were jealous of his good looks.
Brisa’s scolding from yesterday was indeed correct. Freya thought to herself.
Fortunately, Inken didn’t bother her for too long. After speaking with Freya, he turned and walked toward the staff
before giving a speech saying that the Callahan family had high. hopes for the future of the perfume industry and
wished everyone a bright future.
Freya was tired of listening to his pretense and stood lazily in place while the people around. her couldn’t help but
look at her.
“Why did Mr. Inken only talk to her? Do they know each other?”
“They probably don’t know each other, but even if they didn’t, they must have seen each other’s photos or
something. After all, Freya is very famous online, and Mr. Inken is the only son of the top family in Hartterre.”
“Sigh. Fairy tales are all lies. Princes usually end up with princesses.”
“Nowadays, wealthy families are more realistic. Not many princes would marry a Cinderella. They would definitely
join forces with other powerful families. I think Mr. Inken might be interested in Freya.”
