Chapter 678: A Mole Emerges in VK
The Global Assembly Fragrance Event is approaching, and the industry is filled with a tense atmosphere everywhere.
Three days before the event, the Woodward Family launched a product with "Cedar Flower" as its selling point.
On that day, Nora Northwood noticed something amiss.
VK has a similar type of fragrance, but it has not been released to the public, and only the brand’s core members know a bit about it.
The similarity between "Cedar Flower" and VK’s unreleased product is seventy-five percent, definitely not a coincidence.
Instead of publicizing this matter, Nora Northwood sought out Megan Underwood, and the two began to deliberate together.
First, they ruled out the possibility of Andrea Miller causing trouble.
This fragrance was developed with everyone’s collective effort after she left VK.
Under normal circumstances, it would just be a simple plagiarism case.
However, at this critical juncture of the Global Assembly event, it’s hard not to think more deeply about it.
Setting this matter aside, Nora Northwood recounted Rachel Woodward’s proposal for collaboration in detail.
"The Woodward Family has been in the fragrance industry for decades, always lukewarm, haven’t they ever looked for problems within themselves?"
Megan Underwood despised this greatly.
Anything that touches on "design" is most concerned with originality.
Similarly, the most taboo thing is sneaky moves behind closed doors.
"By the time it reached Rachel Woodward’s generation, they had already started going downhill, otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked Rora for help."
After talking a bit about the Woodward Family, they returned to the root of the problem, and Nora Northwood hesitated, "Megan, who do you think is really the one playing dirty?"
"The expected product formula was in a semi-public state in the perfumer’s lab; if anyone were to be suspicious, everyone would be suspect."
The number of perfumer labs is limited, and it would be too costly for Nora to provide each perfumer with an independent lab, it’s unrealistic even to think about it.
After discussing for half a day, they came to no conclusions.
That evening.
Nora Northwood told Jasper Sinclair about the matter, and he gave her some insights.
Moreover, it was necessary to meet with Rachel Woodward again.
"How about giving Grandma Sinclair a hint, we can go back to the old house for dinner tomorrow night and stay over for a day?"
After hearing this, Jasper Sinclair grabbed Nora Northwood by the waist and said teasingly, "Alright, now you’re even bold enough to plan things on me."
Nora Northwood thought of this idea with the intention of leveraging people, something that both of them were well aware of.
The second branch of the Sinclair Family has always wanted to insert their family members.
Every time Jasper returns to The Sinclair Residence, Lynn Woodward would invite Rachel Woodward over as a guest.
Grandma Sinclair is aware of this, and most of the time, she turns a blind eye to it, not wanting to fuss over small matters with the younger generation, as long as it doesn’t get out of hand, they can do whatever they want.
Grandma also knows that her grandson, whom she personally raised, is not someone who wavers easily.
If there ever comes such a day, she would be the first to not spare the Woodward Family.
This moment, Nora Northwood playfully pleaded, "Don’t tickle me, it tickles so much, just this once!"
"Aren’t you afraid that Rachel Woodward might have ill intentions towards me?"
Nora Northwood wriggled out of his arms and burrowed into the blanket, eyeing him warily, "Even if she has bad intentions, she doesn’t have the courage to do anything to you!"
"Just this once." Jasper Sinclair said this, indicating his agreement.
The next step was to call Raina Sinclair, explaining the purpose, he deliberately pointed out a few things, allowing people from the second branch to hear about this matter.
The younger aunt, although unaware of the intricacies involved, still followed his instructions.
