Chapter 652


    And just like that, the curtains of the venue were yanked open from outside.


    Everyone’s eyes darted towards the entrance, and lo and behold, Princess Matilda strolled in.


    A few judges scrambled to their feet, cing their hands over their chests in a salute to Princess


    Matilda.


    The event organizer rushed up to her, standing by her side.


    “Your Highness, you came?”


    Matilda gave a gentle smile, “Yeah, I didn’t want to miss today’spetition.”


    The organizer’s face changed slightly. Right now, thest batch ofpetitors werepeting, and


    the materials were already scarce. They had practically given up on this batch. Now with the


    princess here, she would be disappointed.


    “Cough.”


    Princess Matilda was led to her seat, but during the walk, she gave a light cough. The organizer


    immediately had someone bring her water,


    “Your Highness, are you sick?”


    Matilda smiled lightly and shook her head, “Just a little cough, it happens from time to time.”


    Princess Matilda smiled and looked towards the stage. When she met Chloe’s gaze, she paused


    slightly. Sensing Princess Matilda’s gaze, Chloe turned her eyes, saw her, and gave a little nod.


    The noble and peaceful temperament made Princess Matilda’s eyes flicker with admiration and a


    hint of confusion.


    “How far along is thepetition?”


    Finally, Princess Matilda withdrew her gaze and turned to the organizer beside her.


    “Your Highness, we are down to thest batch ofpetitors in the elimination round.”


    “Is that so? Seems like I have perfect timing.”


    “Heh. Hehe.” The organizer was speechless. He didn’t find it amusing at all.


    “Cough.” Princess Matilda coughed again lightly and finally waved her hand, “Let them continue the


    competition.”


    “Alright.”


    Chloe’s gaze lingered on Princess Matilda for a while before she turned and walked to the rack of


    essential oils. She stared at it for a long time.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Finally, she found a bottle of essential oil on the top shelf. There was no sign of it being touched


    before, as it was a pretty rare type. Amazingly, the organizers had thought of everything.


    She found a few more usable ingredients and then started making her product.


    Out of thest fiftypetitors, more than thirty left due to ack of essential oils. Only two of the


    remainingpetitors managed to snag the few bottles of essential oils, barely making it to the next


    round.


    In the end, only Chloe was left.


    The judges were impatient, hoping to wrap things up and take a breather. They knew there was


    unlikely to be any standout product, but they had to wait for Chloe because Princess Matilda


    seemed very interested in her.


    Finally, Chloe seemed to have finished her product. The judges and Princess Matilda saw her finally


    lift her head. Then, a pair of calm but wise and confident eyes scanned the table and finally found a


    clean and unused ss test tube.


    She reached out, picked up the test tube, and then smashed it on the ground. The sound of ss


    shattering startled everyone in the room.


    “What are you doing?”


    Chloe didn’t answer. Her next actions left everyone in shock. Princess Matilda couldn’t help but


    cover her mouth and gasped softly.
