Chapter 1518: Chapter 1518: Who is the Mastermind Behind the Scenes? Chapter 1518: Chapter 1518: Who is the Mastermind Behind the Scenes? Everybody’s breath hitched, and the judges who were just smirking a moment ago had their expressions suddenly stiffen, their hearts feeling like they had stopped beating.

If they didn’t give Cynthia justice, Mr. Twilight would withdraw from the competition?

No! Absolutely not!

It was with great difficulty that they had managed to have Mr. Twilight agree to be a judge for this competition. Many of the contestants had come for him specifically, and the audience’s attention was all focused on him. If he were to withdraw because of this incident, it would cause a stir. At that time, nobody would blame Xaviera Evans for being unyielding; on the contrary, people would think that the organizers weren’t taking action and covering up for Maude Andrews and the mastermind behind the scenes. Mr. Twilight didn’t want to associate with such people, so he withdrew from the competition.

Everyone knew that Mr. Twilight was like a god in the world of fragrance blending. His withdrawal would undoubtedly cause great shockwaves. Once people learned the truth, everyone associated with this incident would face the wrath of netizens.

Within those ten seconds, the judges had thought of many consequences. In a panic, they exclaimed, “Mr. Twilight! Rest assured, we will definitely investigate this matter. Please don’t leave, you can’t leave!”

Seeing that Mr. Twilight hadn’t responded and was looking deeply at Cynthia, the judges suddenly understood and immediately spoke respectfully, “Miss Cynthia, we apologize. We will definitely investigate this matter, and we hope you do not withdraw from the competition!”

“We will immediately send people to investigate the person who accused you and the one in the recording. We will also clarify this matter on the official website according to your request, and we will clear your name! You are still the number one seed in the competition!”

With these words, the surroundings instantly quieted down.

Quinn Powell seemed like her energy had been completely drained, her weak body swaying as though she would faint the next second.

Now that Xaviera was eligible to compete again, she would take her first place. If the competition continued, Quinn’s championship position would be taken by Xaviera!

At this moment, Xaviera slightly turned her body, her eyes slightly narrowed, and coldly glanced at the Powell family. Robert Powell and Jacob Powell had complex expressions on their faces and could not say a single word.

Robert’s eyes were filled with guilt, while Jacob’s eyes were filled with shock and confusion. Had he really misunderstood Xaviera? But Quinn wouldn’t lie!

Jacob Powell’s heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly, a mixture of pain and bitterness. He had just publicly accused her in front of everyone. While so many people were defending her, he had believed without a doubt that she had seduced the judges and even tried to distance himself from her, fearing being implicated. Xaviera must hate him to the core and would no longer recognize him as her brother.

Xaviera’s gaze stayed on the Powell father and son for a few seconds before coldly moving away. She could already guess their thoughts. Although they knew they had misunderstood her, they still weren’t willing to admit their mistakes, and they wouldn’t believe that Quinn was, in fact, the mastermind behind this incident. In their hearts, everything dirty and scheming was unrelated to Quinn; she was a pure, weak little white flower.

After a moment of silence, Xaviera crossed her arms and looked at the flustered judges with interest, “In that case, let’s start the investigation.”

Quinn’s body shivered violently as she suppressed her unease and spoke weakly, “Miss Cynthia, since the competition organizers have already agreed to investigate, why be so impatient? Everyone’s time is valuable and shouldn’t be wasted on just you, don’t you agree?”

That’s right, by taking up the competition’s time, Xaviera was being selfish!

Jacob frowned, also thinking that Xaviera shouldn’t be doing this. She had already proven her innocence, so why insist on finding out who those two people were? They could investigate after the competition; those two people wouldn’t be able to run away, and moreover–

“None of the other contestants have objections, so why is Miss Powell repeatedly trying to stop the investigation?” Mr. Twilight’s voice was low and carried a hint of sarcasm. “Besides, I’m also very curious about who accused Cynthia. Is using a little bit of everyone’s time a problem?”

Quinn instantly choked.

“No problem, of course, no problem!” The judges echoed one after another, as they dared not offend Mr. Twilight. If he withdrew from the competition, it would be uncertain whether next year’s fragrance blending competition could even be held!

Mr. Twilight’s intentions were already clear – if they didn’t investigate thoroughly today, they would all pay the price for it!

Robert Hart held the highest seniority among them. He subconsciously glanced at Quinn, hesitated for a few seconds, and commanded in a serious tone, “Start the investigation immediately!”

Most of the contestants present supported Cynthia. They did not mind the extra time and all wanted to know who the mastermind was. If that person wasn’t found, they wouldn’t feel safe, and how could they participate in the competition with peace of mind?
