Her soft body leaned against him. Instead of getting up quickly, she lifted her head and flirtatiously pushed her hand against his chest.Pulling Arianna closer, Noah held her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Tell me, what benefits me if I work with you?""Lily will surrender to you!" The strength holding her jaw was firm as she felt pain, but she did not show discomfort on her face as she said with a smile, "Isn't this what you want? "If Noah wanted Lily to surrender, he would have taken her down long ago, so why did he wait until now? Obviously, Lily was stubborn. She did not react even when she was boycotted."She relies on La Beauté Group and the Russell family to support her. If you can cooperate with me to take her down this time, not only Lily, but Alexander will also be involved in this mess. Later, it’ll be preferable to split the beauty market rather than let La Beauté Group have it all. No one will be our opponent in the country when the Richards family unites with th
After a few days of hard work in the lab, the result finally arrived. Lily was holding a small bottle of amber-colored essential oil, handling it as if it were a priceless treasure. Olivia was also very excited as she kept saying it smelt so good. The lab was full of this unique fragrance.She had never discovered this fragrance before. To be precise, it was as if several kinds of floral scents were fused, which one could smell precisely. It also had an aroma that herbs had, which smelled relaxed and refreshing.Although Lily only extracted such a small bottle of essential oil, this raw material should be enough to make a themed series, which fit her vision very well."Olivia, please put this in a cool place. We’ll move on to the next step," Lily instructed as she took off her gloves to wash her hands. Then she looked at the experimental data to ensure everything was right.Immediately after, she sat in front of the computer to send an email. She called Lisa, "The thing you want wi
“We suspect you have something to do with a commercial crime. Please come with us!" The officer who asked the question earlier said with a severe expression."Commercial crime?" Lily frowned as she did not understand what was happening. "Why? Did the Perfumers' Society accuse me of a commercial crime?"‘If so, that would be funny.’The officer shook his head. "It's not the Perfumers' Society. The Tanner Corporation accused you of conspiring with their manager, Mr. Damian Tanner, to add prohibited ingredients to their perfumes for personal gain. You must cooperate with us for the investigation."The officers were polite to her. Typically, the police would not tell their suspects the reason and take them away to the station first.Lily was also surprised. "Who? Tanner, who?"She did not even remember the name well. ‘Mr. Tanner? I wonder who that is.’"Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation." The officer showed his credentials and did not intend to say more."Oka
Arianna was much calmer compared to her father. She sat calmly behind her desk full of various documents. Recently, many problems happened in the company. In addition to the recent crisis, besides the higher-ups, she was the one in charge.However, most of the higher-ups were just there for the title of the company's shares. They participated in dividends but did not care much about daily management. In the past, Derrick was in charge, and occasionally Benedict. Now no one could intervene as she was the one with absolute authority.Joseph saw Arianna sitting with delicate makeup, and her aura seemed completely different. He vaguely felt his daughter was not the same, but he did not know what it was. It was an indescribable feeling, making him uneasy."Ari, you have to give me an explanation. What the h*ll is going on?! Why is Damian still involved in this?!" He asked angrily.Arianna raised her head and glanced at him. She did not speak yet—instead, she lowered her head to review t
"Ari, what you told me before was all a lie?" Joseph asked tremblingly, "You helped Damian in the beginning, just to watch him fall... No, you were the one who dug the hole, right?"Arianna smiled mockingly, saying, "That depends on how you look at it. I dug a hole, but I planned to lay the foundation and build a tall building, and Damian insisted on snatching it. He took it, but instead of building towering structures, he continued digging a hole and then leaping into it. What else can I do?”She should not be the one to blame. It was Damian who wanted to jump into the trap. She just... did not stop him."Alright, great!" After hearing the truth, Joseph was completely ashamed, propping himself on the side of the sofa and slowly sitting down. "I didn’t see it coming. My baby girl, how could you be the one to deceive me?""Dad. There‘s more for you to see!" She smiled coldly. "Over the years, I’ve done many things for the company. You ignored my talents and abilities and only focus
After a moment of silence, Joseph suddenly raised his head and broke out in laughter. “Amazing! Oh, dear daughter, I’ve underestimated you!”Arianna just looked at him coldly, not having much of a reaction. She might have had a crushing defeat today if she had not done this.After laughing for some time, his phone rang. He was not in the mood to answer it, so he picked it up after some time. “Hello?”Suddenly, he raised his head after exchanging a few words with the person on the other end. Standing up, he asked anxiously as his gaze averted to Arianna, “What? Are you sure that you searched everywhere?”Puzzled, Arianna looked back at him.“Okay, I got it. Calm down. No, don’t call the cops. Wait first…”Then, he hung up and glared at Arianna. His phone was still in his hand. “What have you done to Damian?”Arianna had no idea what he was talking about.“Is there a need for you to put on an act in front of me at this point?” Joseph scoffed, unable to trust her at all right no
“What’s the point of me doing that?” Arianna scoffed and continued, “Don’t worry too much. I’m sure he’ll show up soon.”“Really?” Joseph’s eyes lit up. After all these years, he was used to depending on this daughter of his, and he trusted her out of habit.“Soon, the cops will come for him because of the issue with the perfume. If he’s missing, the cops will also look for him, so don’t worry too much about it. It doesn’t matter whether you report this or if you looked for him. Just wait and see.” Arianna picked up a document and glanced through it calmly.That was the truth of the situation, but how could Joseph not worry?“Forget it. I’ll look for him if you’re unwilling to do so!” He turned and left the office, looking much more worn than before. When he exited through the door, Nathaniel came in, and the two almost bumped into each other. Turning back, Nathaniel asked, “What’s with him?”“It’s nothing,” Arianna said casually. “Where have you been for the past two days? I do
"As long as you safely do things, it’ll benefit you," Arianna said coldly and glanced at him. She saw him leaning there, playing with a pen, and thought of what happened just now, "By the way, Damian is missing. Do you know about this?"Nathaniel raised his eyebrows. "Oh? I didn’t know about that. How could he be missing? Didn't your old man lock him up?""Dad kept him in and didn’t let him go out, but I heard that he disappeared. My dad suspects I did it," Arianna frowned. If Nathaniel was not behind this, then who was?"He doubted you? Why are you tying that kid up? He is now the police’s key target and of no use to us whatsoever."“I was the first person my father suspected after this happened.” Arianna grabbed a pen and signed the document. "Go send someone to look for him. If you find him, let me know immediately.""Why should we do that? The police will find him anyway," Nathaniel disagreed."Just go and find him!" Arianna was very impatient. "Go! I still have a lot of thin
