Chapter 353 Revealing the Secrets of Fragrant Clothes (Part 1)

“Carry me with you, tie me to your belt.” The best way he could think of was to stick with her, not giving any chance to the bad guys. “You have no shame.” Cecelia felt the man’s restless hand and playfully smacked him, but Remington caught her in his hand and held her close. With a wife like her, what kind of man could behave? Summer in Porema was beautiful, with clean streets lined with tall jacaranda trees. They had arrived in Porema right in the middle of the jacaranda blooming season. Sitting in the car, Cecelia gazed at the large patches of blue and purple flowers outside the window. The whole street had turned into a dreamy purple ocean, a magnificent sight with a touch of serenity and remoteness. Why did her mother love jacaranda flowers so much? Was it because they were from her grandmother’s hometown? Or was it because of their poignant meaning, symbolizing waiting for love in despair? Or perhaps, it hinted at her mother’s own experiences? Cecelia couldn’t unravel the mystery in her heart. Everything, including the truth, had to wait until she found her mother. Meanwhile, in the Royal Court Hotel, the top five-star hotel in Porema, a grand new product launch event was meticulously underway in the largest banquet hall. Outside the door stood the Songo family’s bodyguards, and guests were entering one by one, holding their invitations. Various media outlets had also flocked to the scene. Everyone had heard that the Songo Group had finally developed the legendary Fragrant Clothes, and they had come to cover the event.

At nine o’clock in the morning, most of the expected guests had arrived. The host from the Songo Group took the stage. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Songo Group’s new product launch event. “As you all know, the Songo Dyehouse has a history spanning over a hundred years, and its most legendary product is the timeless Fragrant Clothes. “Many years ago, due to wars and other reasons, the Songo family’s dyehouse declined, and the art of making Fragrant Clothes was lost. But now, after several generations of hard work, the Songo Group has finally succeeded in producing Fragrant Clothes once again. “Today is the launch of our new Fragrant Clothes, and next, we will introduce our two representatives from the Songo family. “One is Mr. Warda Songo, the CEO of the Songo Group, and the other is Miss Mizey Songo, the COO of the Songo Group. Please give them a warm welcome!” Amidst the enthusiastic applause, Warda Songo, dressed in a stylish dark gray suit exuding a commanding presence, and Mizey, in a white professional ensemble that accentuated her beauty, took the stage as brother and sister to deliver their speeches. Warda Songo, the CEO of the Songo Group, welcomed the guests and briefly explained the purpose of the new product launch event. He handed over the proceedings to Mizey. Mizey took the microphone, expressed her gratitude to the audience, and then began to introduce the unique features of Songo Fragrant Clothes, using the large screens to accompany her presentation with historical anecdotes. After the introduction, it was time for the unveiling of the new product. “Now, let our staff bring our exhibition items onto the stage. Please!” As Mizey pointed, everyone’s attention turned to the entrance. Several staff members walked in, carrying a model stand. To maintain the mystery, the model stand was covered with red silk, hiding the contents underneath. However, as they walked through the center aisle of the venue, a strong fragrance quickly wafted through the air.

Everyone in the room caught a whiff of the scent, and they all sniffed the fragrant air. “Wow, it smells amazing!” “This smell is incredible!” “Is this the legendary Fragrant Clothes that naturally emits a fragrance?” “Finally, we get to smell Fragrant Clothes! It’s incredible. I bet it will be a sensation when it’s released!” The guests and the media were all full of praise for Fragrant Clothes. The staff placed the silk-covered model stand in the center of the stage, and Mizey continued, “Next, I would like to invite our CEO, Mr. Warda Songo, to unveil the product!” Warda returned to the stage and, amidst the applause, he uncovered the red silk. A long, elegant beige overcoat with a simple yet grand design was revealed before the audience. Everyone in the audience craned their necks to see the stage. Mizey continued, “Now you’ve seen it. This is the fabric of Fragrant Clothes, hand-dyed by the artisans of Songo Dyehouse, and it’s now fashioned into the finished product of Fragrant Clothes. “I believe you all smelled the fragrance of Fragrant Clothes a moment ago. Isn’t it wonderful?” People in the audience nodded in agreement, expressing their admiration. Reporters and media personnel continued to take pictures of the Fragrant Clothes on the stage. Mizey continued, “After a long period of research and development, Songo Dyehouse has finally recreated the legendary Fragrant Clothes using ancient techniques. Going forward, our Songo brand will expand globally and produce more Fragrant Clothes, allowing Songo Dyehouse to step out of the country and into the world.” Just as everyone in the audience was applauding enthusiastically, a loud but discordant voice interrupted from the entrance. “That is not the real Fragrant Clothes at all!” This statement shocked the entire room. Many people stopped clapping and turned their heads to the source of the voice. Leading the group of intruders was a woman dressed in a wide black gown. She wore a broad- brimmed black veil hat, which obscured her face, but her presence was strong.

Their arrival caused a commotion and disrupted the normal proceedings of the event. Warda and Mizey also turned their attention to the newcomer. Mizey raised the microphone and asked, “May I ask who you are? It seems you aren’t one of the guests! Where is the security? Security!” However, there wouldn’t be any security or bodyguards coming in; the people outside had already been dealt with. Leading the way, Cecelia, with Remington and Adam disguised as bodyguards, entered the banquet hall and approached the center. Cecelia lifted the veil from her hat to reveal her true appearance. As the audience caught sight of this remarkably beautiful woman, they were left in awe. She was undeniably stunning. But everyone was curious about her identity. Why had she denied the authenticity of the Fragrant Clothes on the stage just now? When Warda saw her beauty, he felt a sudden leap in his heart, as if he had been struck by an arrow. The man who had encountered countless people and situations had been unexpectedly moved by a woman he had just laid eyes on. It was an astonishing feeling. However, as a seasoned player in both the business and romantic worlds, he concealed his emotions well, showing no visible change in his demeanor. He simply observed the woman before him with a hint of curiosity. Mizey locked eyes with Cecelia, her surprise evident. She questioned, “May I ask who you are? Why have you come to disrupt our new product launch?” Cecelia remained silent and walked onto the stage, taking her place beside Mizey Songo. Her eyes scanned the entire room as she spoke. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not here to cause trouble. I stand here to alert you all to a deception! What you’ve seen as the new Fragrant Clothes and what you’ve smelled are not genuine Fragrant Clothes!”

Confronted by Cecelia’s unrelenting exposure, Mizey angrily demanded, “Ma’am, I don’t know who you are, but you’re making baseless claims. What evidence do you have to doubt the authenticity of our Songo Fragrant Clothes?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
