Stephanie was not surprised to see Arianna again. She sighed and said, "Arianna, do you have to do this?" "Aunt Stephanie, what’s wrong?" Arianna asked with a smile. "Your uncle may not last for the next few days. Can’t you just wait a while more?" “It's not that I can't wait, but there are so many things in the company waiting to be decided. It's difficult for me to do things without proper status."She smiled, "Aunt Stephanie, with your and Uncle Derrick’s shares added up, it should be about 55%. It’s useless for you to hold onto the shares anyway. Why don't you just transfer them to me? I’ll make good use of them!""You want control of the company and also our shares? Arianna, when did you become so greedy?" "Didn’t you just say we’re family? Why are you calling me greedy? If Benedict were still here, I wouldn’t stand a chance! Now that he's gone, what are you doing with the shares anyway? It's better to leave it to me, and I can offer you a great retiremen
After all, these were still two major shareholders, so she could not be too harsh, lest it was bad news. Stephanie appeared unassuming, so Arianna had no idea she still had such a ruse up her sleeve. Could it be Derrick who arranged it? She glanced at the man lying on the hospital bed, who was not angry at all. How could he still be able to arrange such a thing? "Arianna, you can go home. We will notarize when the lawyer comes," Mr. Jackson said. "You don’t trust us?" Mr. Quinn added on. "How could that be? Both of you are veterans of the company, and I definitely trust you. It's just that my uncle has been in poor health recently. The will, I'm afraid..." Before she could finish her words, Mr. Jackson said, "Don't worry about that. We’ll have the doctor do a detailed examination to ensure it’s carried out in a conscious condition. Besides, making a will is just in case anything happens. It’ll be best if Mr. Tanner can recover." "Yeah, I agree as well!
She looked in the mirror to see how charming and seductive she was. Just when the elevator reached his floor, she put away her lipstick and walked straight toward the room. After ringing the doorbell a few times, the door finally opened. Noah was standing inside, and his hair was still dripping wet. He was wrapped in a large bathrobe, looking like he had just taken a shower. The dense heat had not completely dissipated, and his jet-black pupils made him look sexy. Arianna is suddenly a little nervous. She was very good at planning and had a few ideas in mind, along with the most meticulous planning and preparation, but since she had never done this before, she was still a little anxious. "Arianna?" Squinting, Noah probably did not expect that he would find her here or at this hour. "Yes! Hi!" She gave him a friendly smile, extended her hand, and pushed him into the room before she followed him in and shut the door. "Aren't you happy to see me?" She sa
Noah looked at Arianna and asked, “You ordered wine?" Then he opened the door and took the red wine in."You need to have wine to enjoy this beautiful scenery." Arianna stood up, took the red wine from Noah, and went to get two glasses. She opened the wine and poured it as she spoke, "To our strong alliance, cheers!"Noah held the wine glass and clinked it with Arianna’s, but he did not drink. Instead, he looked at her lightly. “When did I agree to join your alliance?""What? Didn’t we agree last time? Think about all the benefits I can bring to you!" After a pause, she sipped the red wine and continued, "As far as I know, although you have a good background, you’re not one of the most favored family members, am I right?“Also, you’ve had arguments with your family about perfumery. Do you honestly want to lose your family’s support and they end up abandoning you?"Noah looked at her. and his eyes turned deep.“To be honest, I’ve been a black sheep in my family for a long time too
“Noah." Arianna put down the wine glass and stumbled into Noah’s arms. "Don't overthink it. You have no better choice than me. The best is in your arms!" While putting her finger on his nose, Arianna looked at him with a drunken smile.Holding her loosely with one hand so she would not fall, Noah lowered his head and looked at her. She was indeed beautiful, and he probably could not trust himself alone with her. He noticed her bright red lips getting closer, about to touch him when he suddenly turned to avoid her.Arianna was stunned. She never thought Noah would avoid her kiss. Was there truly a man in this world that could resist a beautiful drunk woman in front of them?"You're drunk. You should leave," Noah said."Why?" Arianna asked, blinking.At this moment, he thought she was cute and pitiful. Noah sighed, raised his glass, and took a few sips of wine, "You are not suitable for me.""Why?" Arianna frowned and tilted her head. "You like Lily, don’t you?"Alexander was stil
“Are you telling me how to do things?" Noah turned and glanced at Arianna, sounding unhappy."No. It’s just a reminder.” Arianna smiled, opened the door, and left.After leaving Noah's place, Arianna's heartbeat became increasingly unstable. She thought everything was under her control, but it all went sideways in just two days.She felt she had weaved a web, with her at its center, watching others trap themselves. However, she slowly discovered she was on someone else’s web instead, ultimately becoming the prey.‘This can’t be! Something must’ve gone wrong!’…Lily’s luck was in the dumpster for the past few days. The Tanner Corporation wanted to sue her for colluding with internal staff and tampering with their perfume. Simultaneously, the Perfumers’ Society seized the opportunity to join in and accused her of illegally practicing perfumery.With both sides attacking Lily, some of her supportive fans became increasingly suspicious. Some had turned their backs on her, thinking
Obviously, she had to be aware of the rumors circulating online, but nothing had been confirmed yet. No matter what she said now, it would cause controversy. It was better to be quiet and do only what she needed to do. "Do you also know that you’ve become the joke of the town?" After giving the table next to him a quick glance, he placed a cup of coffee there. It seemed that he was not pretending to be calm. "Just let them be. It's hard to tell who’s a joke until the end." After clearing away all of the remaining weeds and placing all of the tools in the basket, she stood up and started to walk towards the house. Noah quickly got up and followed, seeing that she had disappeared from his sight. The room inside was much cooler than the outside. Lily put down the basket and unhurriedly organized her flowers and plants. She was cleaning, combing, and sorting everything in an orderly manner. Looking at her movements reminded Noah himself that he used to do these
Noah did not know it then but would soon realize what Lily meant when she said, “I can wait, and you should too.”Many posts regarding the Perfumers' Society appeared on the internet overnight. The contents and titles varied but were mainly about the industry’s inside stories.Initially, the trending searches over the past two days were about Tanner Corporation’s perfume containing harmful ingredients and Lily getting banned from perfuming. Since then, posts like "Dark Schemes Within the Industry," "Shocking News Concerning Perfumers' Society,” and so on have appeared and rushed to the top of the trending list.Although these posts were different and contained all kinds of revelations, everyone knew the leaders in the Perfumers' Society had feathered their nests and used their power for personal gain. Since the Perfumers' Society set the threshold, they could do whatever they wanted, or so they thought.Most netizens suddenly banded together to boycott the Perfumers’ Society before
