Chapter 337 Achieving Glory
After bidding farewell to twenty-two contestants, only thirty-nine remained in the four villas.
The spacious villas now stood sparsely occupied.
Today marked the eighth day of the competition. There were seven more days to go, including the top ten match, the top three showdown, and the final showdown.
A sense of melancholy washed over Freya as she realized the villas would grow emptier with time.
Before their departure, the eleven contestants who had left bestowed their remaining gold. coins to Freya. At this moment, she held five thousand gold coins, ample for a comfortable. life with Leah during the remaining seven days.
The following day marked the commencement of the top ten match, in which Freya successfully retained her champion status.
However, the initial twenty contenders were now reduced to ten, and Leah secured her place among the top ten with an eighth-place finish.
Two days later, as the competition progressed, the pool of contestants dwindled to just three. Remarkably, Leah didn’t choose to leave. Despite being eliminated in the top three, she chose to stay by Freya’s side as her assistant.
Even Villa No.2 stood empty now, and the Pink Beach lay deserted. Freya and Leah leisurely enjoyed their days, savoring the scents of the surroundings as they strolled along the beach.
The live-stream viewers had developed a deep emotional connection with contestants over
time.
In the blink of an eye, the time for the final showdown arrived.
The theme for this ultimate challenge was “Broken.”
As they spent five days crafting their final perfumes in their respective villas, each of the three contestants couldn’t shake the vague feeling that this theme somehow mirrored their own lives.
For Freya, the theme “Broken” evoked memories of her fractured relationship with Radley, a connection that still bound them despite the apparent rift.
She added a delicate hint of mint into the fragrance, balancing its aroma with ice grass, resulting in a sensation of pure coolness.

When the fragrance was eventually ignited, it left no lingering scent, yet it evoked the sensation of standing atop a snowy mountain peak.
The judges showered her creation with the highest praise.
In the final round, Freya emerged as the champion, while Leah, with a delighted and blushing countenance, was on the verge of tears.
Unexpectedly, Radley himself presented the award.
Radley hinted, “The fragrance you crafted this time is truly exceptional.” His scent carried a refreshing note that left Freya uncertain whether it was the fragrance in the air or his natural.

She felt as though she had inadvertently revealed something about herself.
Although the competition had drawn to a close, its online buzz continued unabated.

It not only generated extensive discussions but also sparked viewers’ interest in this field, as Freya shared valuable insights into traditional fragrance blending every time she blended. fragrances.
Villa No.4.
Freya and Leah began packing their belongings. Leah couldn’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia as she packed her things. “We’ve only been here for half a month, but it feels like so much longer. I’m going to miss this place.”
Freya carefully placed “The Compendium of Medical Wisdom” at the bottom of the suitcase, confident that no one would dare to steal anything under the watchful gaze of the live- streaming cameras.
It was secure in a way.
She smiled in response to Leah’s sentimentality. “If we ever return here, it’ll probably be for leisure.”
“Freya, don’t you feel any attachment?” Leah blinked her eyes.
With Helga out of the picture, their relationship had become harmonious, and Leah had grown noticeably more cheerful.
Freya shook her head and replied, “You feel attached because you are a free spirit, but I’m different. I have responsibilities that tie me down, so I’ve always longed to return.”

“Ties?” Leah inquired.
Freya’s expression softened as she added, “I miss my son.”
Leah’s eyes widened, and after a few seconds, she exclaimed, “Freya, you have a son?!”
“Yes. His name is Jovius, but we call him Jolly,” Freya replied with a laugh.
On the live-streaming platform, a multitude of comments flooded in.
I knew it. Freya was pregnant when she was live-streaming as DiligentFrey.”
“Speaking of which, we’ve never seen Freya’s son. She’s stunning, so her son must be quite handsome!”
Looks aren’t everything. What if her son takes after his father? PS: Who’s the mysterious father. anyway?
Rumors say it’s Mathew Hood?”
‘I heard it’s Radley Monaghan!”
I heard her son was conceived through IVF?”
A lively discussion ensued online.
As Freya packed her luggage, in the villa on the northern edge of the Pink Beach, Connor finished packing and walked into the living room.
Connor reported, “Mr. Monaghan, everything is packed.”
Radley glanced at the comments on the screen, his eyes carrying a hint of melancholy. “How is the investigation I asked you to do last time?”
“We still haven’t found any results,” Connor admitted, feeling somewhat guilty.
“Continue investigating, but change the direction this time.”
After the competition, Freya and Inken held a small gathering and then promptly returned. to Caltun with Leah.
She entrusted Leah’s mother’s matters to Braxton and asked him to arrange for Leah’s mother to be brought to Caltun General Hospital.
Freya had already studied Leah’s mother’s condition and confirmed that it was incurable but not a terminal illness. It required long-term medication management.

In other words, it was a matter of buying time with money.
Bringing Leah’s mother to Caltun would also help reassure Leah.
On the weekend, at the Kaufmann Residence.
At 1 p.m., Freya yawned as she leaned on the sofa, cradling Jolly in her arms.
Jolly, seemingly influenced by his mother, also let out a yawn.
Their lazy demeanor didn’t sit well with Sylvia, who commented, “Give Jolly to me; you’ve made him so sluggish.”
Freya chuckled lightly. “It’s nap time.”
With that, she obediently handed the child over.
It had been a week since Freya returned to Caltun, and she hadn’t gone out or paid attention. to the online buzz. She spent her days at home with Jolly.
Although Chris and Mikael had invited her out twice, Freya knew that doing so would inevitably run into Radley, so she graciously declined.
Sylvia took charge of putting Jolly down for a nap. Meanwhile, Freya curled up on the sofa with a blanket over her legs, participating in the group chat.
The “Striving for Humanity’s Reproduction!” group has been active lately.
Occasionally, the three remaining medical researchers inquired about the progress of the drug approval from Freya.
Everyone in the group had a keen interest in this drug, recognizing its potential as a groundbreaking development for all four of them once it became available to the public.
Lucius, particularly optimistic within the group, tagged Freya and shared, Professor Harlan, heard from someone working there that the approval process is taking a while because it’s attractin significant attention, but the results should be out soon.”
Freya was equally eager for the drug’s approval to proceed with her brother’s surgery and responded, “That’s fantastic news.”
Her recent condition was excellent and ideal for the upcoming surgery.
After chatting with the group for a while, Isabella arrived at the Kaufmann Residence in the evening.
She whispered, “Do you know? That person who bullied you, Riley Freeman, was disowned
