NovelEnglishChapter 706 Lily performed worse than the previous perfumer and would have been better off saying that she was bragging or joking. Instead, she was admitting it seriously. Did she think she was heroic and majestic by doing so? What was Lily thinking? Looking at Mr. Russell again, he had no intention of stopping her. His eyes were always on that woman as if she was his whole world.
‘Crazy! The world was crazy! Mr. Russell is crazy too!’ Rose looked at the ceiling speechlessly as she did not know how the press conference would end today. Since they had already reached this point, she might as well continue to listen.
"Ms. Christian, do you mean that the recording was edited? That means that it's not what we heard?" The reporters were smart as they quickly concluded the key points.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The recording did sound like it was edited. However, Ms. Christian's words were clear and have not been edited,” someone objected.
Lily was in no hurry despite being faced with all their doubts. She smiled slightly and nodded. "You must've listened and analyzed it thoughtfully. Honestly, I've also listened to the recording. That's right. It was edited.
"However, you may have overlooked one point. Our culture is extensive and profound, and words could have the same pronunciation but different meanings. These words may express different meanings in different contexts,” Lily suddenly stood up while saying that.
The reporters were at a loss as to what Lily was about to do. She took a marker in her hand, walked to a board behind her, and wrote something.
The rest of La Beaute Group's employees did not know what she was going to do, so they were curious to see what she wrote.
They only saw that she wrote one word— Poison.
They were shocked. What was Lily doing? Rose felt that she was going to faint. Today, the La Beaute Group would be destroyed in the hands of Mr. Russell by his act of choosing beauty over power. Rose looked at Alexander sadly. He did not react at all and looked at the board calmly.
"What do you think of this word when you see it, and what do you think it means?" Lily asked, turning around and pointing at the word.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Poison,” someone read it out. "Ms. Christian, what do you mean? “You mean, you admit that you were the one who poisoned the candles? That means it's possible to put poison in perfumes, right? With a faint smile, Lily did not answer but added four more strokes with her pen. This time, instead of words, Lily added double quotation marks to the word poison on the board. The word “ Poison” seemed more exaggerated after the crowd read it for a second time.
"Now?" she asked again.
There was silence under the stage with whispering. Some people began to understand, and some did not quite get it.
Rose frowned as she annunciated it like a mantra, “Poison. Poison? Is there any difference?” “The double quotation marks can express emphasis and citation, or a special title, as well as irony and negation. So the word ‘Poison ' doesn't represent the poison everyone generally thinks about.” Lily explained clearly, "But this mark won't be seen in our usual speech.
What | mean is that | did say the words, but not with the meaning that everyone understands."
