La Beauté Group’s staff stepped forward to end the press conference, but someone interrupted him before he could finish speaking. The smile on his face immediately froze."With such a useful scent, shouldn’t your grandfather still be alive?" Those words were like a sharp sword that broke through thin air. It directly lowered the atmosphere to freezing point. Everyone looked at the source of the voice and saw a relatively unfamiliar face.The man was sitting there with his legs crossed. His posture was arbitrary, with a mocking smile on his face. He stared straight at Lily with his sharp eyes as she stood at the front."Who is he?" Someone asked quietly."My goodness! How could he be so rude!"Although the media often exposed breaking news and secrets, it depended on who they spoke to. It was more than showing respect to La Beauté Group since Alexander was also sitting there. The man should have given respect to someone who had already passed away.The man wanted everyone to under
Just as Lily was about to speak, Alexander stepped forward to stand before her, "Mr. Richards, if you have any questions, La Beauté Group’s legal department will contact you. Still, as far as I know, the Perfumers' Society does not have that power yet."After speaking, he stopped Lily directly, turned around, and left backstage.Noah wanted to catch up, but the La Beauté Group staff stopped him, "Mr. Richards, please stay."Raising his eyebrows, Noah did not follow up but stood there looking at their backs, smiling meaningfully."I didn't expect the Perfumers' Society to send him here." Lily sighed, rather emotional. She was already mentally prepared to receive a phone call, but it came earlier than expected. She also did not expect Noah to attend the press conference.What he said just now was to embarrass her on purpose and to make things difficult for her. Those who came uninvited were usually up to no good."The result will be the same regardless of who comes!" Alexander firm
Home! She now regarded this place as her own home! This was their little home! "Go take a shower first," Alexander said after kissing her forehead, "Don't catch a cold!" "Yeah," Lily nodded and went upstairs to take a bath.She was indeed worn out. After a few days of running around and ending in the press conference, her muscles and bones were ready to unwind. Lily was also very sleepy. When she hurried out of the shower, she noticed the room was still empty. Alexander was not there, so she considered getting dressed to find him downstairs.However, her muscles immediately relaxed when she sat on the bed, and she fell back uncontrollably. Her whole body became weak on the comfortable bed. After settling the documents downstairs, he told the company to follow up about the press conference. It was already late at night when that was all completed. Alexander stretched his neck and then his entire body before glancing at the wall clock. There had been no sign of lif
Alexander was speechless, not because of what she had said, but the way her body moved while she spoke. She struggled to sit up while hugging his waist and placed her face against his abs. “I’m so tired!”‘Was this what they meant by the body being the most honest?’ Alexander wondered. He still had his trousers on while he stood stiffly thinking, ‘Should I follow her signal or just listen to her and let her rest?’The next thing he knew, Lily had her hand on his abs and was moving downwards, “So hard!” Alexander was turned on now, so he decided to make the culprit take responsibility for doing this to him! Without hesitating, his hormones got the better of him and he proceeded to lie on top of her. He pinned her naughty hands down and said, “There’s more…”Before he could finish his sentence, Lily had lifted one of her knees and bent it. Her knee ended up colliding with his most sensitive part. At that moment, his hormones and his urges vanished instantly. Alexander’s face dar
Lily yawned. She had never felt this tired ever. Alexander also told her not to go to bed yet, so she decided to get up and took out the hair dryer to dry her hair. She did not have this habit while living with the Lodge family. To make things easier when she was practicing her kickboxing and because most of the people at home were men, no one knew how to manage her long hair, so she had always kept her hair short. When she got into university, Lily allowed her hair to grow. Moreover, at that time, Nathaniel told her that he loved girls with long hair, so she had stopped cutting hers. Before she knew it, her hair was already very long. After she got together with Alexander, he always dried her hair for her and ensured that she did not go to bed with wet hair. She realized that someone who loves you would not care about what kind of hairstyle you had. Instead, they would make sure that you were protected from harm's way. When Alexander came out of the bathroom, he saw th
Lily smiled, “It was just a cover-up.”“A cover-up?” Alexander asked in confusion.“It was pretty easy. We’ve been discussing what we could add to the raw materials when making our scented candles and what would possibly cause them to be unstable. However, that day, I was just saying this to confuse Henry. I didn’t actually make something stable enough to be used as perfumes or candles,” Lily remarked.After hearing her explanation, Alexander could finally understand, “In other words, it did not matter whether or not the perfumes or scented candles contained that substance.”Lily nodded, “I didn’t put it in the perfume at all. I merely added some medicine that could cause drowsiness in their tea. I calculated the time needed for the medicine to work and sprayed some perfume that could help with sleep onto my wrist.“Furthermore, Henry was already panicking, and I only needed to give him a slight nudge in the right direction. Then he would think I did something to the perfume that
“I’m sure you know there’s an auction event tomorrow night, and I need a gown for that. If I didn’t go shopping today, I wouldn’t have enough time to get it,” Eloise said as she took the cup of tea handed to her by the housekeeper. She blew into the cup and took a sip while glancing briefly at her husband. “What thief? That’s Elizabeth…” He paused as if realizing that saying this name out loud at home would only cause a problem. Even though he wanted to bring Elizabeth back as soon as possible, he needed to take it slow.Since he could bring his son back, he knew Eloise would make a scene if he brought Damian’s mother home, too. If word got out, it would only affect their family and the company’s reputation. “Fine, fine. I forgot that Arianna had another card with her.” Joseph waved and turned to Arianna. He extended his hand toward her, “Arianna, give me your card.”“Why?” Arianna asked wide-eyed, obviously confused by his request.“Since your mother froze all our cards, mine i
Eloise did not expect Joseph to pull such a stunt. She was so dumbfounded that she could barely say a thing. By the time she regained her composure, he was already gone.“Miss…” The housekeeper quickly brought the first aid kit over as she noticed Eloise’s burnt hand. However, before she could touch Eloise, Eloise stood up abruptly and swept everything on the table to the ground in anger.Smash!That was the sound of the teacup as it hit the floor, glass shards flying everywhere. The housekeeper was too afraid to speak or move, and she could only stand there, not knowing how to react. Arianna jumped in surprise before telling the housekeeper gently, “Go clean up the glass shard, and you can leave.”The housekeeper was relieved to receive instructions and immediately moved to clean the glass shards.Arianna sat next to Eloise and removed an ointment tube from the first-aid kit. She gently took her mother's hand and applied ointment to her scalded area. “Mom, please don’t be angry
