"Mom, age must be catching up to you. Even if she uses dad's card, you’d need to accept the transaction!" With a smile, Arianna reached out her hand. "Mom, where's your phone?""What are you doing?" Elliot looked at her suspiciously as she pulled out her phone.Arianna took the phone and dialed a number. Then she put the phone to her ear and said, "Hello, I’m Joseph Tanner's wife. Yes, it's me, Mrs. Tanner. Here's the thing, I accidentally lost a few credit cards. I'm worried someone else might use it, so could you temporarily freeze all the supplementary cards under my husband's name?"Hearing this, Eloise looked at her daughter, wide-eyed and stunned.She must be getting slower! How had she not come up with this idea herself? She had been in countless soap operas, yet they were all in vain. Why didn't she put her knowledge on how to deal with mistresses to good use?At this moment, her anger instantly turned into joy. Eloise was no longer fuming as she continued to look at the g
It didn't take long before Eloise's phone rang, and she did not even have to look to guess who it was. Eloise’s face remained expressionless as she stared at the woman embarrassedly pacing across the street. Then she slowly picked up the phone.The moment she pressed the button, she seemed to have changed into a different person as she anxiously wailed, "Honey! My cards are gone! What should I do? What should I do?!"The other end of the phone was silent.Even Arianna, who was entirely in on this, could not help but secretly praise her mother when she saw how fast Eloise got into character. She did deserve to be the best actress. Besides her expressions, even her voice sounded anxious and worried. No one would think that she did anything."How did you lose your cards? Slow down and tell me. Which cards are missing?""I don't know! I lost all my cards and my wallet! It's all gone! There's no way. I know I brought them with me. How did it all disappear?!" Although Eloise was sitting
The press conference was at seven in the evening.Alexander and Lily's plane arrived at three in the afternoon, and they were immediately on the move. Once they arrived, they did not return home and headed directly to the company to prepare.Although Jenny and George knew about this, it was a relatively significant matter this time. Therefore, the company did not need them, and the headquarters of La Beauté Group would handle it. All they could do now was worry on their own.Olivia immediately heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Lily and rushed to hug her. "You're back! You've only been away for a short time, yet so many things have happened. What the h*ll is going on? You worry me to death! In the recording, did you—"Jenny, who was beside Olivia, gently patted her shoulder, interrupting her. Then Jenny motioned for them to speak in the office. Once they entered the office, Jenny shut all the doors and windows. She even drew the blinds before asking, "What happened in that record
At half past six, the seats in the ballroom of a five-star hotel in Brown City were almost full. Other than media reporters, there were also renowned perfumers and newcomers from the perfumery industry. Anyone who had any relations to the perfumery world gathered here.After all, this incident caused an uproar and shook the entire perfume industry. Everyone wanted to come and see how Lily would explain herself. Everyone wanted to know if she would apologize for her wrongdoings or deny what she said in the recording.Alexander's car did not drive to the main entrance. Instead, he arranged to enter through the back. Then a bodyguard escorted him through the VIP passage to the lounge.His secretary had arrived earlier to organize everything. Once she heard Alexander coming, she quickly rushed over with a stack of papers. Although she managed to put on a calm face, her nervousness was seeping through."Mr. Russell," she called out as she pushed open the door. When she looked around an
Rose, Alexander’s secretary, was growing impatient as she waited. Her boss remained calm, but she could not help asking, “Mr. Russell, why don’t I call Lily and ask about her current location?”It should be easy for the company to look up the employee’s phone number. She would happily be the villain if her boss were unwilling to urge Lily.Alexander replied calmly, “No need. Go outside to deal with it first. She’ll be here soon.”Alexander had already made his point, so there was no use in her rushing. While her superior seemed calm under pressure, she was anxious despite only being a subordinate. Rose bit her lip, turned, and left.Alexander finally pulled out his phone and looked at it, his eyes darkening.When they parted ways, she claimed she needed time to gather "evidence." She added that it could take some time and she could be late, but she would be there eventually. Certainly, she would provide the press and the company with a satisfactory explanation.He trusted her and
”What are you talking about? Unlike who?” She immediately teased her."I meant he’s not like some men. They're dumb and boring. It’s as if saying something nice could kill him!" She said vaguely, but it was obvious who she was referring to.Lily wouldn't let her off the topic so quickly, "Is that so? Who’s the man you are referring to? Do I know him? Is he handsome and brave? Is that man surnamed Sullivan?"Olivia blushed hard and glared at her fiercely, "You’re annoying. I don’t want to talk to you anymore! Hmph!""You can talk about me, but don’t like it when I talk about you instead. You have double standards!" Lily shook her head and said emotionally."I do have double standards! Anyway, you're not allowed to talk about him and me.""Him? Who are you referring to?" Lily pretended to be ignorant. Olivia was mad with anger, but there was nothing she could do."Okay, I’ll stop teasing you!" Olivia pouted and looked at the box in Lily’s hand. This was something they had just m
”The impact of this incident was too significant. This is not just about La Beauté Group. You should know that the entire perfume industry was affected due to Ms. Christian. This affects our reputation! Who would dare to buy perfumes in the future? Who knows if there’s any poison in them? She’s an alarmist. She’s spreading rumors and deceiving the public!"Some radicals voiced their harsh condemnation and the facial expression of the PR department's employee changed. She immediately comforted the public, "Everyone, please calm down. The reason our company is holding this press conference today is to give you an explanation. We’ll definitely give you an answer today. However, there’s a small incident, and Ms. Christian hasn’t arrived yet. I hope all the reporters present can please give us some time, okay?”La Beauté Group had a very high status in the beauty industry. Moreover, the public relations department's statement sounded sincere. Everyone looked at each other and calmed dow
The whole road was congested, with an accident ahead. Although the traffic police were on the scene, the cars moved forward slowly.Seeing how slow the cars were, the initially calm Lily could not help feeling anxious. She looked at the traffic jam and the time. She helplessly said, "Sir, please drop me off by the side over there."Then she turned to Olivia and said, "Don't worry. Stay in the car and go slowly. I'll get out of the car soon and walk another way.""It's dangerous! There are so many cars!" Olivia said worriedly after grabbing Lily."It's fine. I’ll be careful. I’m already late." Lily glanced at the road. If she remembered correctly, a small road nearby could reach the hotel, which may be faster."Then you... be careful!" Olivia was worried, but since Lily insisted, she could say nothing else. Olivia could only give Lily some gentle reminders.When the car stopped by the side, Lily quickly opened the door and got down of the car. She trotted to the side of the road, holdin
