Two years later, F Country.“Now, I’m going to announce the winner of the gold medal in this Perfumer Competition... Miss Sienna Newton!”Thunderous applause came from the audience and Sharon walked on stage while lifting her skirt. Everyone was looking at her.Eugene looked at her from below the stage. It had been two years since he last saw her and she was more elegant and confident than before.Today was the day when she finished her studies, so he had flown over to congratulate her. She even won the gold medal in the Perfumer Competition. After Sharon accepted the award and stepped down from the stage, she hugged her mentor, Ceylon Frank, and there was another round of applause.“Congratulations.” Ceylon smiled.Sharon could not hide the tears of excitement in her eyes. “Thank you for your guidance over the past two years.”“You’re very talented. This is also the result of your own hard work.” Ceylon's eyes were filled with praise for her. If it were not for her talent in
It was not easy to be his student. Back then, she would shamelessly pester Ceylon every day. She would even bring all of her perfumes for Ceylon to evaluate no matter if they were good or bad.After begging him for half a year, he suddenly agreed to take her in as his student.“Eugene, you should stay for a few more days now that you’re here. I’m free the next few days so I can spend some time with you,” Sharon invited him.Eugene’s eyes darkened. “I want to as well, but…”“Do you have something important to take care of?” Sharon was still leaning against his shoulder as she looked up at him.Eugene looked into her eyes, and his expression suddenly became more solemn. When he spoke, his tone was deeper than before, “Sienna, Grandpa wants you to go back.”Sharon was slightly taken aback. Her brain could not register what was going on for a moment. “Go back? Where?”Eugene stayed silent for a few seconds. “The Newton household.”Now, she finally understood what was going on. Now,
Sharon thought that when the old master said ‘going back to your roots’, he wanted her to pay respects to her ancestors in a small ceremony.However, it was not as simple as that. Not only did she have to pay respects to her ancestors, but she also needed to host a banquet in a hotel where all of their friends and family would be in attendance when the family formally announced her identity.Inside the room of the hotel, the staff changed her into a custom-made gown and the makeup artist had already put on her makeup for her. She only needed to wait for the banquet to start now.Sharon looked unconcerned as she allowed them to dress her up.When Eugene came in, he saw her looking spiritless.He knew she did not want to tell the world that she was Sienna Newton, but they could not go against their grandpa’s wishes.“You’re here,” Sharon greeted him.Eugene nodded. After the staff was done changing her, they dismissed themselves.He stood behind her. “If you don’t want to go out,
She had not wanted to dress like this either. Now that she had become Sienna, she felt extremely stressed for some reason.She held Eugene’s arm as they walked in front of the old master and then, in front of everyone, she called out, “Grandpa.”Quinn’s wrinkly face finally did not look as sinister anymore. He was satisfied when he saw how she was dressed.“Come. Come to Grandpa.” Quinn reached out his hand to her.Sharon was hesitant, and Eugene said in her ear, “It’s fine. Go.”She was only slightly relieved because he was here. Eventually, she walked over and stood next to the old master.“Everyone, she’s my granddaughter, Sienna. She just came back from studying abroad in F Country. Now, she’s a pretty well-known perfumer. From now on, she will be starting her own perfume brand in Newton Corporation. Please take good care of her, everyone.”Sharon stole a glance at the astute and circumspect old master. When did she say she wanted to start a perfume brand in Newton Corporati
Franky did not care about his boss’ criticism. He hurriedly placed the newspaper in front of him. “President Zachary, look. It’s Miss Sharon!”Simon’s gaze narrowed as he looked at the newspaper, more specifically, the photo on the newspaper.It had been two years and when he finally saw her again, she was in the newspaper!His breathing became heavier as he grabbed the newspaper to put it in front of him so that he could get a closer look at the person in the photo.It was really her…She was wearing a custom-made gown in the photo and was adorned with shining jewelry, looking extravagant and gorgeous. Even if she was dripping in jewels, it did not hide the elegant aura that came from within her.When he looked at her in the photo, she looked foreign for some reason. She had changed and was not the same as before.Since he had never taken down the missing person notice for the past two years, he would receive a lot of messages from different people telling him that they had see
Kelly was ordered to watch the door and stop everyone from coming in.“Grandpa, do you really not want to see me?” Sharon stood at the door and yelled into the room.“Get lost!” The old master sounded angry.His voice sounded powerful and it seemed that the old master was fine. He was just grumpy that he had embarrassed himself during the banquet.“Tsk tsk, you’re really something else, Sienna. You infuriated Grandpa to this extent the moment you came back.” Jim’s tone sounded like he was basking in schadenfreude.Sharon peered at him and pulled the corners of her lips into a smile. She reminded him, “You also have a part in infuriating Grandpa too, Jim.”He should not forget that he had humiliated the old master once again when he said what he said during the banquet.Jim shook his hand. “No, this is your achievement, don’t put it on me.”Sharon was tired of talking to him. She looked at Eugene who was standing at one side. “Eugene, Grandpa doesn’t want to see anyone now so le
Sharon was pulled away by Eugene and he only stopped when they got to the door.He frowned and said with a serious face, “Sienna, don't talk to Grandpa like that again in the future.”There was still a fire of rage in Sharon's chest and when she thought about how the old man had asked her to come back just so she could bring profits to the company, she was unable to put out the fire.“I’m already being polite enough to talk to him like that.”“He’s our grandfather, after all…”“I’m treating him as my grandpa, but what does he think of me?” Sharon looked up at him. Her mood was unstable and her tone rose unconsciously.Eugene was speechless for a while. Actually, he was also feeling helpless about the old man's behavior.“Eugene, I don't think he has any affection for you. He’s just treating you as a money-making tool for the Newtons, right?”“Enough! Don't say things like that anymore!” Eugene suddenly roared with a cold expression.Sharon was stunned by his yelling but quickl
Eugene looked at her in confusion. “What are you thinking about? You look so engrossed.” Was she startled?Sharon’s breathing and heartbeat had quickened. She said angrily, “Are all the Newton family members ghosts?” After she said that, she walked toward the car, fuming.Eugene lifted his eyebrow and peered askance at her. Was she not a Newton herself?Eugene drove the car, bringing her away from the Newton household.He did not usually stay here and the rest had their own homes as well. The old master was the only one residing in the Newton household.Sharon had just come back so she would stay with Eugene for the time being.After some time, she started her own research lab and would find a new house for herself.Inside the car, Sharon kept thinking about what Austin had said just now. She looked at Eugene a few times, always stopping herself whenever she was close to speaking.“Just spit it out.” Eugene noticed that she had been looking over at him a few times. “I just wa
