Chapter 434 The Newcomer's Victory
“Pamela, you've written on your card that you only used seven ingredients, and you only used essences that you’ve extracted from flowers and herbs that you planted. Is this correct?” a foreign judge asked without pulling his punches.
“Ah...”
When Pamela opened her mouth, it was still that familiar strange voice.
Melanie’s eyes moved. Her voice confirmed her suspicions!
She was that warden from Mount Coloss!
Could it be that she had recovered her memories? That she remembered her name?
Just when Melanie was thinking about that, the entire scene was in an uproar.
“She's a mute!”
“Is she deaf too?”
The host immediately called for order. “Please remain quiet, everyone! On her registration form. she wrote down that she can’t speak, but she can still hear.”
“Are there any friends and family of hers here that can translate what she’s trying to say?” the host asked again. Melanie turned around and looked backstage.
At the edge of the stage, the siblings Shane and Pam were pushing each other as they were scared to get on stage and face all the flashes and cameras.
They had been living in the mountains all their lives. It would naturally be difficult for them to get used to being surrounded by all the cameras after having to leave their home ‘so suddenly.
After a while, the older brother Shane was the one that got on stage and stood next to her.
translating for Pamela. “My mom said you're right! She has used two herbs and five common wildflowers to make the fragrance. That's all the ingredients used in her perfume.”
“Can she explain a little more?”
One of the judges couldn't stop himself from being curious. Pamela paused before trying to express herself.

Shane then said, “My mom said that the competition is too strict, that there are so many rules that she couldn't do her best. With that amount of ingredients and low cost. it’s ridiculous if you want to add your ideology to that! She’s already quite successful at being able to blend a fragrance that’s comfortable. She blended this perfume to remind people about the flowers blooming in the mountains, and how happy they'll be once they sme i
While Shane was a bit lacking in vocabulary and couldn't really explain what Flora wanted to say. his simple approach was also quite convincing in its own way.
Melanie also used this chance to get closer to Shane, and gave him a look before smelling the fragrance.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“This scent really does make me feel lighter and happy. | feel like | can see the scene of spring with hopes blooming. Even when I'm in this building. | feel like I’m in the embrace of Mother Nature.” Melanie added.
When Pamela heard her words, she smiled happily. Pamela’s expression was very strong, almost piercing through the schemes of those who designed this competition.
The foreign judges off stage all had strange expressions on their faces, but the judges and contestants from the country all clapped and cheered for her.
“Her registration form said that she’s seventy years old?”
One of the foreign judges began to question her. “Our competition is a vehicle for newcomers into the perfumer profession to communicate with each other, though...
“So what if she’s seventy? My mom asked why can’t she be a novice despite being seventy? Shane began to translate Pamela’s words again.
But because Pamela’s tone was becoming quite insistent, Shane was also getting angrier. “My mom has been guarding the mountain for dozens of years, but she has always been using the flowers from the mountains to make fragrance sachets and sell them to make a living.”
“She suddenly started to become interested in blending fragrances and has only studied for a few months. She registered after learning about the competition. Other than this competition, my mom has never joined any competitions. Compared to everyone else, she’s the most inexperienced beginner here!”
Pamela said that she had only learned about fragrance blending for a few months, and that she used to be a watchman for the mountains, making Aiden and the other judge who questioned her unable to look her in the eye.

novice!
