Chapter 136 The Scoundrel in the Scented World
Evelyn didn't expect Rosen to be so bold that he should directly use physical force during the day. She grabbed Rosen's wrist and forcefully twisted it.
Rosen grimaced in pain but still stood.
Evelyn ignored the differences in their body types; Rosen's wrist bones were thicker and wider. Her grip was slightly weaker, so she simply twisted Rosen's hand without breaking it.
Evelyn didn't know that her grab and twist actually stirred up Rosen's desire to conquer from within.
Rosen's blue eyes sparkled with excitement. "What a wild little beauty you are! I'm starting to like you a bit!"
"Rogue!" Evelyn lifted her foot and kicked towards Rosen's abdomen.
But this time, Rosen was prepared, quickly dodging backward, reaching out to grab Evelyn's foot, planning to tease her properly.
However, what Rosen didn't expect was that although he grabbed Evelyn's foot, he couldn't withstand Evelyn's force, only managing to lessen the impact on his abdomen while his whole body flew backward.
Rosen fell heavily to the ground, accompanied by a crisp crack, confirming that his hand was indeed broken.
"You..."
Eyes widened, Rosen looked at Evelyn in disbelief, wondering if it was all a figment of his imagination.
Rosen was actually defeated by the seemingly gentle Evelyn. Evelyn looked like a weak woman who couldn't even carry two buckets of water, let alone break Rosen's hand with a kick.
But it indeed happened!
He had provoked first, and only Rosen and Evelyn were present; there was no third person.
Ignoring Rosen, Evelyn planned to walk straight past this Rogue and leave but heard Rosen call out, "Please wait!"
Initially, Evelyn didn't want to stop, but since Rosen started to show some respect and used the word "please," she halted, glancing coldly at Rosen.
Supporting his abdomen with his uninjured hand, Rosen stood up, gasping. "Ms. Taylor, do you know who I am?"
Such a boring question made Evelyn regret stopping, and she was about to leave.
"You may not know who I am, but I know who you are!" Rosen stood behind Evelyn and continued, "I know you have some skills in fragrance blending. Last time, you tampered with the fragrance formula of Liavian Perfumes, which almost caused a breakdown. You are capable, unlike Vivian!"
When Rosen mentioned Vivian, Evelyn stopped again, turning to face Rosen. "What do you want to say?"
Rosen had said so much. It couldn't just be to stall time.
Taking a few steps forward, Rosen forced a smile through the pain, releasing his charm. "But in the world of perfumers, having skills alone without adaptability and operation is useless!"
"Even if you have real talent and abilities, so what? You haven't gained any fame in recent years. In the end, all the credit and honor have been snatched away by others," Rosen said as he slowly moved closer to Evelyn.
"Nowadays, what matters most? Connections, resources! No connections, no resources, no big names backing you up - how far do you think you can get on your own? I know your latest product was a success, but what does that matter? With just a little-known perfumer like you, do you think you'll win at the annual competition?" Rosen continued.
"So what?" Looking coldly at Rosen, Evelyn wanted to know the point behind all his nonsense.
"So, you should be smarter." Continuing to smile at Evelyn, Rosen thought he looked very handsome at that moment, unaware that his forced smile due to pain was quite ugly.
Rosen continued to exude his "charm". "Smart women know how to seize opportunities. And now, there's a great opportunity right in front of you. It's up to you to seize it."
Glancing around, Evelyn asked, "Is that so? Where is this opportunity? Why don't I see it?"
Rosen had almost reached Evelyn, his hand nearly touching her. "Sometimes people shouldn't just focus on the distance, but also look at what's right in front of them. Sometimes, the opportunity is right in front of your eyes. You need to understand..."
Just as Rosen's hand reached out, Evelyn accurately grabbed Rosen's uninjured hand, her grip precise as she twisted it.
This time, it wasn't a fracture but a dislocation of the entire arm.
"You woman!" Rosen yelled in pain and frustration, abandoning his usual rhetoric and resorting to foul language. "Who do you think you are! Just wait. I'll make sure you can't make it in the perfumer industry. You'll never hold your head up high, and you'll never gain any fame in this field!"
"Is that so?" Evelyn took two steps forward, causing Rosen to retreat in fear. "What are you doing? Don't come near me! You bloody bitch! I swear to god..."
Seeing the determination in Evelyn's eyes, Rosen swallowed all the uncivilized words he wanted to say. Unwilling to give up, he threatened. "Believe me, I'll make sure you don't even qualify for this year's annual competition!"
Faced with Rosen's threat, Evelyn smiled indifferently. She raised one hand, rotated the wrist, and then did the same with the other hand, interlocking them tightly and cracking her knuckles with force.
Evelyn wore a faint smile on her face, even with minimal makeup. She was captivating, but her next words were chilling.
"Do you believe that I can make sure you will never walk out of this alley?"
Her gaze shifted from Rosen's face down to his legs, which he couldn't use at the moment.
With both of Rosen's hands injured, one broken and the other dislocated, his legs were intact for now. But under Evelyn's piercing gaze, Rosen felt a chill, as if his legs might disappear in the next moment.
With cold sweat on his back, Rosen quickly retreated, still trying to assert, "Don't push it! I'm not bluffing. I'm a judge at this year's annual competition. If you dare lay a hand on me, I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Evelyn had already run away.
Evelyn didn't intend to harm Rosen; she just wanted to drive him away. She then turned her neck, shrugged her shoulders slightly, and looked at him disdainfully.
She thought, 'An advanced perfumer? He is simply a disgrace in the world of perfumers, trash! No wonder he associated with Liam! It was just...'
