Ch. 701..710

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 701

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 made an hour ago.

Everything was made under the instruction of Lily.It was her formulas, ideas, and guidance.

Olivia was only assisting her.

Time was tight, and she did not study it carefully.She thought that it was just perfume-making, and was similar to the previous formula.

However, she later found that there was an additional step, and something was added.She was not sure what it was.

Anyway, Lily was the one who brought it here.

Olivia just did what she was asked to do as her assistant.She had no idea it would be used at the press conference.

To put it another way, what they were busy with was directly connected to the news conference that day.What could that be?

"Lily, can this thing prove your innocence?"

She believed Lily, but the same could not be said about the general public.She was worried for her as her friend.

"I'm innocent from the beginning!"

Lily smiled and held the box tighter in her hand.It was 7 p.m., and the press conference started on time, but the person involved did not show up.

The representative from the public relations department of La Beauté Group sat there and gave an introductory talk.She first thanked everyone for coming before moving on to La Beauté Group's development history and achievements in recent years.

At some point during her speech highlighting the year's performance and products, a reporter could not hold back and stood up to interrupt her.

"I'm sorry to interrupt.We're here to see Lily today.We need an explanation from La Beauté Group and Ms.Christian regarding poison in perfumes and raw materials.We don't want to listen to your nonsense.Almost all the media in Brown City are here today.You should give everyone a convincing explanation rather than talking nonsense, right?"

His words immediately gained everyone’s support.

They nodded and said, "Yes, that’s right! What we wanted was the results and explanations, not irrelevant matters."

"La Beauté Group is a big company.How could you fool people like this?"

"I heard that Ms.Christian is already engaged to the president of La Beauté Group, Mr.Russell.Does that mean Mr.Russell will defend his fiancee to the end?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 702

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 down for a while.

However, there were always people who liked to find fault and raised their voices to ask, "Is she afraid to come?"

The questions spoke to many people.

Some people thought Lily being late was an excuse, and she was afraid to come.

"That's right! It’s reported that Ms.Lily arrived in Brown City at 3 p.m.That amount of time is sufficient for her to eat, shower, change and do her makeup.What could be the cause of her delay?"

"That's right! How long do we have to wait? Can you give us a time? Do you want everyone to sit here with you and wait forever?"

"Yes, give us an exact time! We will wait for another half an hour.If she’s still not here, she must've been afraid to come, and you are fooling us!"

People’s hearts were always easily incited.The crowd became restless with just a few words.

Alexander stood in the shadows at the back.He narrowed his eyes slightly at a few particularly excited people in the huge crowd.He turned his head slightly, and Edward immediately knew his intention and came forward.

Alexander instructed in a low voice, "Go and check on them.

Also, check with the traffic police if they had cleared the traffic at the Third Ring Road."

"Yes!"

Edward went to do it right away.

Rose followed behind him and tried to control her emotions, but her anxiety was palpable.

"Mr.Russell, traffic jams are unpredictable.It may take more than half an hour for them to reach."

He nodded slightly without saying a word.

"If she can’t make it..."

"If she can't make it, I'll go."

His deep voice was firm and decisive.He blocked all of Rose's unspoken words.

Rose wondered what magical power Ms.

Christian possessed.How was she able to make the president protect her to such an extent?! The PR department’s employees were still trying to calm everyone down in the hall, "Everyone, please be quiet."

"Everyone came here today to understand the situation and get an explanation.Ms.Christian has indeed arrived in Brown City but is delayed due to some setbacks.However, I assure everyone that Ms.Christian is indeed rushing here now.I ask everyone to give her and La Beauté Group some time.

"As an apology, La Beauté Group prepared some refreshments for all journalists and reporters here today.Everyone can take a break and eat some snacks and fruit while waiting.Ms.Christian will soon be here."

She gestured to the employees, and they soon walked in with trays of delicate snacks and fruit.The situation was in control for the time being.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 703

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, holding the box tightly in her hands.She had to get there as soon as possible since she could no longer delay her appearance.

The venue gradually became restless from being quiet.

The fruit and snacks were almost finished.

As time passed by every minute, some began to lose their temper again.

"The time is almost up.Where is Ms.Christian? Is this your excuse? "Yes, we respect and believe in La Beauté Group, but you can't treat us as fools.Look at the time now.Ms.Christian still isn’t here!"

"If she doesn't come soon, we won't wait anymore!"

"That's right.Ms.Christian didn't dare to come at all.You..."

The microphone screeched and interrupted the noisy people.

Everyone averted their attention to the stage and saw Alexander slowly walking out in a tailored black suit.

After all, he was the president of La Beauté Group.He was a well- known figure in Brown City.

Instantly, everyone stopped talking and looked at the stage quietly, waiting for his reply in a tacit understanding.

The reporters’ and media’s efforts would not be in vain even if Lily did not show up since Alexander appeared and was willing to say a few words.

However, they became even more confident that Lily dared not show herself, which was why Alexander came out for her.

The crowd did not expect Alexander to be so considerate to his fiancée and was willing to help with this.

They thought it was a pity that Lily did not come out with him and that she was unworthy of being Alexander’s fiancée.

Alexander stood there.His presence was like a light as he could attract everyone's attention without opening his mouth.He cleared his throat and looked around.His eyes stopped several people before saying, "Thanks to the media and reporters for coming.Regarding today's press conference, everyone is clear about why we're here.

"That’s right.A few days ago, a piece of audio circulating the Internet caused a lot of commotion.The blame was directed at Miss Lily, the perfumer from my company.I know most of you have heard the recording and have your own conclusions on whether or not the recording is legit.

"I won't talk about the authenticity of this audio now.However, I will discuss the content of the recording itself."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 704

After a pause, Alexander looked at the audience and asked, "I noticed many perfumers among the guests who came today.As far as you are concerned, do you think adding poisonous materials to perfumes is feasible? In other words, can it be done?"

Nobody expected Alexander to turn the tables on them, that he would question them now.

Some wanted to say, "We are here to question you, not for you to question us."

However, Alexander was on stage, and no one dared to say that—instead, they just looked at each other, stunned.

"Is there anyone who can enlighten me?" Alexander continued.

His attitude was sincere, and it did not look like he was deliberately making things difficult for them, so some perfumers were eager to answer.

The status of La Beauté Group in this industry did not need anyone to comment.

Even if such negative news came out, they could stop the spread of the news immediately.It showed the company’s capabilities.

Besides their ability and interests, they needed a good development platform as perfumers.

They only could stand higher without a stepping stone.

Therefore, some wanted to get Alexander's attention using this chance.

If they could win Mr.Russell's heart, they would have the opportunity to join La Beauté Group or possibly be a chief perfumer.

"Mr.Russell, I have thought about the question you raised.I even tried it myself."

Someone stood up and replied, "To be honest, given the current technical conditions, I think it's...unlikely to work."

The person’s words made the reporters frown.His words were helping Lily to exonerate.

Which side was the person on?

"I have no idea how Ms.Christian did it, but the raw materials of perfumes are unstable and volatilize very quickly.Adding other ingredients to blend and modulate requires a little experimentation and controlling the ingredients' amount.These are things needed to be cautious of when making perfumes.As for the addition of poisonous raw materials, it will be even more uncontrollable."

The person stopped and adjusted his glasses with his hand.

"So I thought, this is impossible to achieve.Could it be a joke Ms.Christian made? An exaggerated statement?"

Alexander stood there with no turbulence on his face.He did not express any emotions, but Rose, on the sidelines, became a little excited.

‘yup! Lily was making a stupid joke.She was bragging about it.Now, we can explain it to the public and solve the current predicament"

Rose could not help but look at Alexander, wishing she could convey her thoughts with her eyes.

However, Alexander did not look at her.He just nodded at the commenting perfumer.

"Thank you for sharing.Is there anyone else who has other opinions?"

With an available opening, someone would soon take over the topic and talk about it.

What was supposed to be a news conference for clarification and explanation meeting suddenly turned into an experience-sharing and exchange meeting.

The media were stunned as they wondered how Alexander did this.

Just as the next person finished speaking and another was about to say something, someone finally could not help but interrupt.

"Mr.Russell, forgive me! You are deliberately delaying time.What we want to hear now is not the opinions of other perfumers but Ms.Lily herself.As the person involved in the incident, should she not be here to give us, the consumers, an explanation? "Or, is it impossible for her to appear today? If that is the case, please let us know no, so we won't have to wait here."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 705

Rose noticed Alexander staring at the person who just spoke.She stood anxiously and instinctively took the initiative to start speaking, "Ms.Christian..."

As soon as she started, a crisp voice sounded, "Sorry, I’m late, everyone!"

Lily was panting heavily, looking a little messy, her hair wet with sweat sticking to her face.She was also wearing casual clothes.

The media thought she would attend all dressed up and was startled by what they saw.

Some picked up their cameras and took pictures as they returned to their senses.No matter what, the main character finally appeared.

The reporters and media did not waste their time.

As for why Lily was so messy, everyone wondered if she did not want to come but got forced to show up.

Some reporters had already begun to think of the drama in their minds.

Alexander turned to look at his wife.She was holding a box in her hand while trying to catch her breath.

"Don't worry." He said warmly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and cheeks.

Rose stood beside him with the staff of La Beauté Group dropping their jaws.

The media and reporters below the stage widened their eyes.

They responded quickly and frantically took pictures of the scene before them.

After all, it was rare to see Alexander behave so lovingly.

Alexander had never been in a rumor that he was in a relationship, that he might be a straight man that knows nothing about romance, or that he was not even straight.However, he showed affection in front of everyone at the press conference.

Although, everyone thought Alexander’s appearance and reaction to this incident showed his favoritism toward Lily.However, assumptions and rumors were different from seeing them in reality.

"I'm fine."

Shaking her head, Lily said, I can continue."

"I know."

Alexander was still unhurried.He only cared about Lily.

Media and anything else was like it did not exist.He took a bottle of water from the table, opened it, and handed it to her.

"Drink some water first, then sit down and speak slowly.I'll accompany you."

"Yeah!"

Lily obediently nodded as she was indeed thirsty.

After drinking a few gulps of water, she sat on the prepared empty seat, calming down a little.She ran all the way.

Although the distance was not too far, she was tired from running.

Fortunately, she was not too late.

There were many pairs of eyes staring at Lily as she sat there.She knew some people were waiting for her to embarrass herself.

"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone.I came late and made you wait for so long.I'm sorry."

She sincerely apologized.Her attitude was still lovely, so some complaints from the crowds were less intense.

"Secondly, it's about the audio circling on the Internet."

Lily cleared her throat and looked down with a clear gaze.

"I must admit to everyone that the recording is of my voice, and I said that sentence.Although someone had edited it, I did say the things in the recording.I admit that."

There was an uproar among the crowd as soon as Lily admitted it.

Rose, standing on the sidelines, almost had a heart attack.She could not help but stare fiercely in Lily's direction.

‘Is this woman insane?!’ They had foreshadowed and put in so much effort to restore her image as much as possible.

It was to minimize company loss and eliminate the negative impact.However, Lily wasted their efforts just by saying these few words.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 706

Lily performed worse than the previous perfumer and would have been better off saying that she was bragging or joking. Instead, she was admitting it seriously. Did she think she was heroic and majestic by doing so? What was Lily thinking?

Looking at Mr. Russell again, he had no intention of stopping her. His eyes were always on that woman as if she was his whole world.

‘Crazy! The world was crazy! Mr. Russell is crazy too!’

Rose looked at the ceiling speechlessly as she did not know how the press conference would end today. Since they had already reached this point, she might as well continue to listen.

"Ms. Christian, do you mean that the recording was edited? That means that it's not what we heard?" The reporters were smart as they quickly concluded the key points.

"The recording did sound like it was edited. However, Ms. Christian's words were clear and have not been edited,” someone objected.

Lily was in no hurry despite being faced with all their doubts. She smiled slightly and nodded. "You must've listened and analyzed it thoughtfully. Honestly, I've also listened to the recording. That's right. It was edited.

"However, you may have overlooked one point. Our culture is extensive and profound, and words could have the same pronunciation but different meanings. These words may express different meanings in different contexts,” Lily suddenly stood up while saying that.

The reporters were at a loss as to what Lily was about to do. She took a marker in her hand, walked to a board behind her, and wrote something.

The rest of La Beaute Group's employees did not know what she was going to do, so they were curious to see what she wrote.

They only saw that she wrote one word— Poison.

They were shocked. What was Lily doing?

Rose felt that she was going to faint. Today, the La Beaute Group would be destroyed in the hands of Mr. Russell by his act of choosing beauty over power. Rose looked at Alexander sadly. He did not react at all and looked at the board calmly.

"What do you think of this word when you see it, and what do you think it means?" Lily asked, turning around and pointing at the word.

“Poison,” someone read it out. "Ms. Christian, what do you mean?

“You mean, you admit that you were the one who poisoned the candles? That means it's possible to put poison in perfumes, right?

With a faint smile, Lily did not answer but added four more strokes with her pen. This time, instead of words, Lily added double quotation marks to the word poison on the board. The word “ Poison” seemed more exaggerated after the crowd read it for a second time.

"Now?" she asked again.

There was silence under the stage with whispering. Some people began to understand, and some did not quite get it.

Rose frowned as she annunciated it like a mantra, “Poison. Poison? Is there any difference?”

“The double quotation marks can express emphasis and citation, or a special title, as well as irony and negation. So the word ‘Poison ' doesn't represent the poison everyone generally thinks about." Lily explained clearly, "But this mark won't be seen in our usual speech.

What I mean is that I did say the words, but not with the meaning that everyone understands."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 707

Immediately, the place was filled with voices of people comparing the two words. After careful consideration and trying with different tones, they did hear it with different meanings.

Even the employees of La Beaute Group were curiously repeating the word silently. Only Lily remained calm, standing there quietly. Even if she did not attend all dressed up, she was still so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

“Even so, what do you mean by poison? If it's not poison, could it be a tonic?"

Lily expected she would face doubts, and laughed. "It's not a tonic, but it's almost similar. After all, tonic is good for your body. What I added also has this effect."

"Don't keep us guessing. You still admit that you added something to the perfume. Did you put in other additives during the blending process? What exactly did you add?"

They were met with boos from the audience. She suppressed a smile and put on a serious expression. Everyone around Lily fell silent as they wondered if she was growing angry.

"Everyone, before I explain what's in it, I want to talk about why I added other things.” She lowered her head and paced slowly, looking dignified.

Her pace was slow as every step was heavy. No one spoke for a while. They all took the initiative to quiet down, waiting for her next words.

After walking back and forth, Lily finally stopped and looked at the audience again.

"You may have heard that my grandfather passed away last month. My grandfather is a very strict but kind old man. He has always been in good health. However, he unexpectedly suffered from insomnia in his later years. He didn't sleep well and had difficulty falling asleep at night,” she said in a low voice. Her low tone made people unknowingly relate to her and feel emotional.

"For the elderly, eating and sleeping are the two important things. Their health will be affected if they don't eat or sleep well.

Being in a younger generation, I think hard about what I can do to help my grandfather. Hence, I tried adding ingredients to help with sleep using scents.”

After a pause, her voice increased a little. "As we all know, it is not uncommon for scented candles to aid with sleep. Some scented candles with special oils, such as lavender, will make people feel at ease. However, it was not very helpful for patients who suffer from severe insomnia like my grandfather. Therefore, I tried to add some ingredients from traditional herbs that help with sleep and calm the mind. I have also adjusted the amount and scent many times."

It seemed that her remarks carried the kind of influence that could subtly persuade listeners. Everyone felt that what she said was very reasonable. Slowly but surely, the masses grasped the actual explanation.

“The ‘poison’ you mentioned is a medicine? Then, why do you call it poison?" Raising his hand, someone asked.

Lily smiled lightly. "Medicine can also be a poison!"

Everyone fell silent as it seemed reasonable.

Soon someone asked, "Do the perfumes sold by La Beaute Group and other ingredients that contain the essential oils of your fragrances also contain these poisons?"

Shaking her head, Lily said, "Initially, the added medicine was intended for my grandfather's illness. Not all consumers need this special effect. Therefore, they wouldn't add it. Besides, do you think that adding more ingredients will help lower the cost? Would we intentionally increase the cost of ingredients and become a charity?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 708

She said it half-jokingly. There was a roar of laughter, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Even the other staff of La Beaute Group laughed along since the situation was suddenly reversed.

Not only was the crisis gradually lifted, but it was also even better than they thought. If they had gone with the initial solution, the only two methods to solve the emergency were to deny the authenticity of the recording or admit that Lily was talking nonsense.

After all, with the accessibility of the internet, it was very easy for someone to analyze and decipher the audio just to prove what Lily said. It would add fuel to the situation.

La Beaute Group could not be too overpowering, either. Things had already set off a storm. Trying to suppress it would only make people feel that the internet rumors were true.

However, Lily stood up and spoke, never denying anything, and provided a clear explanation. Since she had admitted it and revealed everything, including what she added in, it would be unreasonable to continue creating a fuss over the recording.

"Ms. Christian, I've done experiments before. After adding other ingredients, the performance is volatile. Are you sure? Is it feasible? Have you really succeeded?” The one who asked the question was the perfumer who first answered Alexander's question.

It was obvious that he was still not convinced. After all, he had tried and failed many times. Seeing that Lily was so young, he did not believe she could succeed.

Like she said, scents could help with sleep and soothe the nerves. It was also because of the properties of the raw materials.

With the addition of other materials, how could the process be so easy? The fusion of fragrances and the compatibility of attributes had to be considered.

In addition, it was one thing to think about it and another thing to implement it and succeed. The perfumer remained skeptical.

"Here are two samples,” she walked to the table and opened the box she brought, which contained two amber glass bottles that were kept in good condition, "These two bottles were made after I returned to Brown City. I made it with my assistant back in the lab.”

“One bottle has calming ingredients added inside, while the other has refreshing ingredients. They're both completely different. If you have any doubts, you can give it a try." She said generously.

The perfumer did not refuse and stepped forward. While standing there, he looked at Lily with suspicion.

Lily smiled slightly, stretched her hand, and asked him to try it.

After giving it some thought, he took two test strips from the side, picked up the bottle, and observed it. He then opened the lid, kept the bottle upright, and took a deep breath from a distance, frowning slightly.

He glanced up at Lily, who was still unflustered, and placed a drop on the test strip.

They were all perfumers, so they still had some understanding of essential oils. By looking at the color and smelling it, they could already preliminarily distinguish the ingredients contained in them.

Looking confused, he picked up the test strip and slowly brought it closer to his nose. His frown deepened, and he remained in that position without moving.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 709

“How is it?” Seeing that he did not move, someone impatiently asked aloud.

The perfumer looked at Lily in confusion and then lowered his head to sniff the scent on the test strip again. He did not answer— instead, he dipped a tissue in clean water, then used it to wipe the tip of his nose. After that, he quickly picked up the other bottle, repeating the same action.

His reaction intrigued everyone else, and the crowd curiously stretched their necks to see what was going on. Once he put down the test strip again, he looked at Lily. His expression was surprised. "How did you make this?"

“Continuous trial and error," Lily replied.

“Impossible! I've tried many times, but it didn't work. You said you only prepared these two bottles when you returned to Brown City, which is even more impossible!" He stared at the two bottles in disbelief.

"If I rush back to Brown City to start the experiment, it is impossible. However, that's not the case. I've tried many times before, so I know the formula, ingredients, and amounts by heart. I just needed the company to prepare the materials and allow my assistant to mix them according to my formula. That's why I made these relatively quickly.”

Lily then looked at the others, "Still, I'm sorry for delaying everyone's time. I thought I had enough time but didn't expect to encounter a traffic jam, so I came late.”

Then she bowed deeply and expressed her sincerity.

At that moment, most of the media’s opinion of her had significantly changed. Previously, they thought Lily was not worthy of

Alexander and felt she had no guts or brains. However, Lily was standing there in a dignified manner and proper demeanor.

Adding on with the two extraordinary perfume bottles, it was something that not every perfumer could simply create. The idea was very novel, and the formulas paired well.

"Sir, you can return to your seat.” Lily reminded the perfumer when she saw that the perfumer was still standing in front of her.

The man stared at her in a daze, not moving, as if he had not returned to reality.

"Sir?"

Alexander frowned slightly and was about to signal the staff next to him to take the person away. The perfumer suddenly took two steps forward, staring straight at Lily, "Do you accept any students?"

Lily was stunned, thinking she did not hear clearly. "E-Excuse me? “

“Do you accept students? Can you accept me? I'll work as an assistant too. I don’t mind! Anything! Just let me learn from you. I want to know how you created this, what I did wrong, and where I failed!” The perfumer was so emotional that he almost jumped at Lily.

Lily was startled and took a step back subconsciously.

When the perfumer was about to move forward, the staff quickly stopped him and dragged him away to prevent his extreme actions.

“Ms. Christian, I'm serious! Please accept me as your student! I want to learn from you!" The perfumer was still shouting while being pulled away, relieving the tense atmosphere. It was also a little embarrassing.

Lily did not expect such a sudden situation. However, she felt relieved after the staff pulled the perfumer away.

At that point, no one had any more doubts. Everyone had gained something from the event, including knowledge about new raw materials and fragrances and a new culture. How amusing.

“Thank you all for coming. Tonight's press conference has come to an end."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 710

La Beaute 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 Beaute 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 understand that whatever Lily added to the formula was useless since her grandfather had already passed away. On the negative side, since she was explaining how beneficial the added ingredients were, would her grandfather's death be related to those ingredients she added?

The crowd was shocked to witness what was happening. Some thought this man was too abrupt and rude, while others thought his words seemed to make sense. The others were just waiting to see a good show.

How could he have the guts to say something like that in front of everyone? Was he just playing around to make a fool out of

Alexander and Lily? The crowd looked at the man and then at the couple on stage.

Lily squinted to take a closer look. Was that him?

After staring at each other for a few seconds, the man stood up calmly, raised his hand to brush his shoulders, and walked in her direction. Those who had already got up to leave stopped and found a more exciting scene behind them.

"Lily, we meet again.” Standing before her, he raised his chin, so arrogant that his head could reach the clouds.

"Mr. Richards, what advice do you have?" Looking at him coldly, Lily saw that he did not want to shake hands, so she naturally did not take the initiative to extend her hand.

Smiling, Noah turned his eyes to those who wanted to stay and watch the show. He smiled meaningfully and then turned around, his smile gone.

Then he took out a certificate from his pocket and waved it in front of her, "Ms. Christian, I, Noah Richards, on behalf of the Perfumers ’ Society, will formally investigate you. I have already recorded what you just said. We will also verify the integrity of your words."

"Besides," he deliberately stopped and looked at Lily calmly. Still, he was disappointed because she did not panic. “I heard you are involved in an illegal business if you don't have a perfumer certificate. Since that's the case, we will also hold you accountable,

“Noah's words were like a bomb, and the reporters were shocked.

Did Lily not have a practicing license? They never expected Lily, who had won an international award, not to have official credentials.

Since The Perfumers’ Society had already gotten involved with this case, it seemed as if it was true.
