Chapter 2261
Darcie naturally doubted that a young woman in her twenties could replicate this oil. The S-type essential oil was created before Freesia Hall's death, but it wasn't public knowledge until Darcie discovered it while sorting through her belongings after Freesia passed away.
Over the years, Darcie and the perfume blending technicians she hired had tried thousands of methods to replicate it, even resorting to chemical analysis. However, they could never get the proportions right. Even their closest attempts fell short, with a slight difference making the scent of the recreated perfume miles away from the original.
So, Darcie had to find ways to preserve the oil and minimize its evaporation. Nobody had been able to replicate it for years, so for Sonia, who had only smelled it, to claim she could make it was outrageous.
Since Darcie couldn't believe it herself, she decided to give Sonia a chance. She hadn't even wanted Sonia at Caline in the first place; her resemblance to her father irritated Darcie. If she could use this opportunity to remove her, all the better. With that in mind, Darcie said, "Then I'll give you a day." "No need,’ Sonia replied. ’If I start now, two hours at most will be enough.”
When she said this, everyone's opinion of Sonia shifted from seeing her as a braggart to seeing her as a fool. If she could do it in two hours, it would be like rubbing it in the faces of all the company's perfume blending technicians.
Stella felt her knees weaken. She squeezed Sonia's hand and whispered," Why don't we go downstairs and have a meal to calm down?"
If Sonia couldn't replicate it and Darcie fired her, how would Stella explain it to her older brother? This child usually seemed so calm; why was she causing such concern now?
However, Sonia was determined. She looked at Darcie and asked, "Ms.
Arnold, can we start now?"
Darcie chuckled, seeming amused by Sonia's boldness. "'Alright, let's begin.
All the company's oils are here; help yourself to what you need."’
Sonia nodded and went to fetch the oils she needed. Darcie glanced at Stella. "Stella, if she really can do it, it will reflect well on you."
Ignoring the vague remark, Stella immediately asked Samuel to call the police.
Darcie stood by, calmly sipping her tea, looking relaxed and confident, seemingly convinced that Sonia couldn't replicate it. But as Sonia brought out bottle after bottle of oil, Darcie's expression gradually became more serious. Sonia was taking out all the components she had previously identified. Was it just a coincidence? There were only a few perfume blending technicians Darcie knew who could identify oil components by smell alone. Sonia took out a total of seven, and not one was wrong.

Darcie set down her cup, her palms slightly sweaty, but she quickly regained her composure. The most difficult part of blending this oil wasn't the components; it was the proportions.
