“Mess up?”Suspicious, Madeline raised her eyes and looked at Hannah, then she explained the situation in a calm tone.“What kind of mess up do you mean? A contract is signed for every order, and both parties are obligated to abide by the rules of the contract.”Hannah had never dealt with business matters before, so when Madeline asked, she was dumbfounded.However, of course, she wanted to ask what would happen if Madeline was the one who messed up.After thinking about it, Hannah spoke nonchalantly.“I’m also a member of the Whitman family, so I’m concerned about the situation in the Whitman Corporation, of course. What do you think I’m asking?”“A member of the Whitman family?”Madeline curled her lips slightly into a smile when she heard those terms.Hannah inexplicably felt that Madeline was mocking her when she saw Madeline’s smile.“What are you smiling at? Aren’t you the one who agreed to let me join the family? Mr. Whitman also said that he would be responsible for
“Who is this?”Madeline glanced at Hannah and introduced, “She just started learning with me…”“Hello, Mr. Sutton. My name is Hannah Bolton, and I am Mr. Whitman's person.”“...” Mr. Sutton was stunned.Madeline knew that Hannah had said this on purpose, and she also knew that the client had misunderstood.She smiled slightly and casually corrected Hannah, “This is Miss Bolton, and she just started to learn perfume making with me. She currently lives in Whitman Manor because of work requirements, so she is considered a guest of the Whitmans.”Upon hearing this, the client looked dazed. “I see.”“Yes.” Madeline smiled and nodded in affirmation.Hannah glared at Madeline in displeasure. When she wanted to emphasize her relationship with Jeremy, Madeline suddenly looked at her with a sharp look.Hannah had never seen Madeline look at her like this. The piercing glint in Madeline’s eyes was icy cold, and it instantly fell on Hannah’s face in a breathtaking manner.Hannah did not
Madeline was very calm when she spoke, but the aura her eyes exuded was abnormally domineering. Hannah was a little stunned at the sight of the cold expression on Madeline’s face. Hannah pursed her lips together, but she spoke not a single word. Since her first interaction with Madeline, she had felt that Madeline was a soft and gentle young mistress from a rich family. Madeline looked calm and collected no matter the circumstances. Tonight, however, Madeline was very different. Her eyes and her temperament looked extraordinarily stern. Hannah had to admit that she was frightened by this aura. “Do you know what you had just said in front of the client?” Madeline questioned her coldly. Hannah, stunned upon hearing that, then quickly recalled how she had introduced herself to that client named Mr. Sutton. She had said that she was Jeremy’s person. Despite her uneasiness, Hannah, still displeased with Madeline’s attitude, sneered arrogantly and disdainfully. “What did I
She knew Hannah was watching her, so at the present, she wanted Hannah to know who the matriarch of the family and Jeremy’s one true love was. As for Jeremy, he would not pay attention to how Hannah was feeling, of course. He did not even notice that there was another woman inside the car, and he only allowed Madeline to hold his arm to walk into the house. When Jackson, who had come home after school, saw Madeline, the handsome boy ran over to her happily while calling out to her. “Mommy, Mommy, I called Lily just now, and she said she missed me. She also misses Mommy and Daddy too.”As the little guy said that, his adorable eyebrows furrowed. “But Lily looked so haggard. Is she still sick?”Haggard. Madeline heard her son describing Lillian’s current state as haggard. She felt her heart aching, but she still gave her son a soft and amiable smile. Madeline then lifted her hand to caress the little guy’s head. “It’s because she’s not with Mommy, Daddy, and Jack, so that
Hannah looked around the factory. She realized the employees were all focused on their work while Madeline was talking to the person in charge of the factory. After they finished talking, Madeline would inspect the factory. Hannah did not want to let Madeline inspect the manufacturing process of the perfume. When she saw Madeline changing her clothes before going into the factory, she figured she must carry through whatever happens. As such, she ran over directly to make a fuss. “Eveline!”Madeline was in the process of changing into a coat to enter the factory when suddenly, she saw Hannah running into the room hurriedly, yelling out Madeline’s name. Puzzled, Madeline looked at Hannah. “Is there an urgent matter? If it’s not urgent, I need to inspect the factory first.”“Of course, it's urgent since I came to you so hurriedly.”Hannah said with an anxious look on her face. She then looked at the person in charge and the manager behind Madeline. Suddenly, the look in her eye
“I mean whatever you meant.” Madeline did not bother explaining or arguing with Hannah. “If you had really come to your senses, then you should do your work properly with me. But if you hadn’t, then I’d remind you not to say anything unseemly at inappropriate times.”Madeline decisively and straightforwardly warned Hannah. Her arrogant eyes scanned Hannah’s face before she strode into the factory. Hannah, terrified that Madeline would see the tampered data, quickly ran up to stop her. “Eveline! Stop right there, Eveline!”“Don’t let that person enter the factory.”Without even turning back, Madeline ordered the security guard who was watching the entrance to the workshop before continuing walking inside coolly. The security guard stopped Hannah from entering. When Hannah saw that Madeline had entered the building, she angrily stomped her feet. She waited outside the door anxiously, nervous that Madeline would sense something wrong. Approximately half an hour later, Madel
The look in Madeline's eyes prevented Hannah from lying.Hannah, somewhat guilt-ridden, hesitated and looked out of the car window, then chuckled sadly.“What other choice do I have? I have to go on with my life, so I have to compromise, don't I?”Hannah replied reluctantly.“Now, I finally understand that I simply can't compete with you. I was too self-righteous and naive from the start. Also, Mr. Whitman is not a man I can strive for.”Hannah said with a sad sigh and lowered her eyes.“Mr. Whitman is a very attractive man. I only blame myself for not recognizing my identity and status. I insisted on wishful thinking, and now I’m like a moth to a flame. Sigh…”Hannah sighed deeply after saying that.Madeline looked at Hannah calmly and listened to what she said.“Is there anything else you want to say to me besides this?” Madeline asked meaningfully.Hannah was taken aback for a moment. She then lifted her head, met Madeline's gaze, and spoke with certainty.“I have already
A mischievous, expectant smirk appeared on her face as she watched the client squirt a few pumps of the perfume on the test paper. The client then shook the test paper, brought it to his nose, and sniffed.However, before the client finished smelling the perfume, Hannah faintly smelled a faint and similar scent.This faint and light scent was clearly the smell of the bottle of perfume that she smelled in Madeline’s laboratory that day.It was the exact same scent!“This is it. How refreshing.” The client’s praises pulled the currently dumbstruck Hannah back to her senses.Hannah stared blankly at the client who picked up another bottle of perfume to try out the scent. Once again, there was no difference.The smell of this batch of perfume was exactly the same as one Madeline brought on the day of the testing!This greatly confused Hannah, but at the same time, it also greatly depressed her and pissed her off.“Mr. Whitman, Mrs. Whitman, I am very satisfied with this collaborati
