"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 things to do!”

Shrugging, Nathaniel withdrew from her office with a playful smile.

Lily was in the police station quietly looking at a stack of photos. She looked at it carefully before asking, “That's it?”

"Have you colluded with Damian, the manager of the Tanner Corporation, to bring the company down?" The police asked as usual.

Lily said lightly, "How would doing so benefit me?"

"It's a business competition. You and Tanner's deputy project manager have a personal emotional dispute,” the officer assumed after reading the information.

“No,” Lily answered decisively, "There was a relationship, but it was over long ago. We are just strangers now."

“Then what's the relationship between you and Damian?" He pointed at the photo. "You are a perfumer, and Damian is in charge of Tanner's perfume project. The Tanner Corporation wants to sue you, accusing you that the perfume you made contained illegal ingredients. Since the product came from your hands, what do you have to say about that?”

"I have nothing to say. I didn’t do it."

"Previously, you had had a similar issue adding illegal ingredients to your perfume. Does this matter genuinely have nothing to do with you?”

“I’ve already explained all of that in a press conference. As for the Tanner family, I currently have no affairs with them. As far as I know, they also have their own specially hired perfumer. It's best if you find that person and interrogate them instead,” Lily said, looking down at the photos on the table, "Also, these photos prove nothing. I don't know Damian, let alone ever met him."

Those few photos were of them passing by each other or encounters at a distance. There was not even a photo of Lily sitting face-to-face with Damian, so how could she have anything to do with him?

"Really?" The officer revealed another report. "If you don't know him, why did he put money into your account?"

“What money?" Lily was stunned for a moment. She had no idea what he was talking about. She looked at the receipt again and noticed a transfer from the bank. This time Lily noticed the transfer time and a 1.5 million dollar amount, which Damian had approved.

"I don't know anything about the money," she pushed the receipt away, realizing it was someone who set it up on purpose.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 842

She also had a lot of debit cards, but not all of them were in use. Lily had not used that specific card for a long time, so she did not know how much money was in it and did not receive any notifications. Therefore, even if someone sent money to that account, she would not know.

"You're not aware of such a large sum?" Pointing at the receipt, the officer thought she was lying.

"This may be a lot of money, but I don't pay much attention to it," with a disdainful smile, Lily continued, "Although I haven't earned so much as a perfumer over the past few years, I still earn quite a lot. With my current ability, it is not difficult to earn this amount.”

"Of course, it's not difficult. All you need to do is add something to the formula, and it’s that easy! Who wouldn't feel tempted?"

As far as the current evidence was concerned, it was against her, but there were still holes everywhere in the story. The officer also questioned Lily as he usually would, and the Tanners prioritized this case. Meanwhile, the public was paying close attention to this case and waiting for its conclusion.

"Officer, As far as the current evidence is concerned, it can't prove I had anything to do with Damian. Firstly, I don't know him and haven't had any private meetings with him. Secondly, let's say I did have any affairs with him; where's the evidence?

“Don't mention the money. If someone wanted to set this up purposely, it would be easy to transfer the money to me if they knew my account number. Finally, evidence will prove the truth. It's useless to say anything else at the moment. Why don't you call Damian now? Let me confront him," she said calmly.

Anyone could have framed her, but it was not Damian. Since he was already part of it, he would not be so stupid as to put himself in trouble. The only insinuation was that the two were somehow involved in this.

Just as the officer was about to speak, a man came in. He raised his eyes and looked at Lily, sputtering, "Damian is missing.

Does this have anything to do with you?" His voice became much more severe as if he had already regarded her as a criminal suspect.

Lily looked innocent, "I just found out too. Officer, I've been busy with perfumes in my studio recently, and I haven't been out much. Since I'm here with you now, how can I have the time and the ability to kidnap Damian?"

"Maybe you hired someone?"

"What?" There was no way to continue the conversation. It seemed as if they had already confirmed that she was behind all of this.

Then someone else came in and said something else. The officer glanced at Lily, stood up, and pointed at the table, "Think about it again and see if you have anything else to tell us!"

Lily turned away, and the officers left.

What else could she have to explain? The situation had nothing to do with her since she had no relations with the Tanner Corporation while they worked on their perfume project. Furthermore, Lily did not know Damian at all.

Even if Nathaniel was in charge of the project, so what? What did that have to do with her? She only wanted to do what she should do and what she was interested in. She did not care what others did.

"Lily, someone has come to bail you." Another officer came in and looked at her.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 843

After all, there was no conclusive evidence. Although the Tanner Corporation put precedence on the case, La Beaute Group was difficult to mess with. Alexander went through the formalities and quickly released Lily on bail.

There was nothing to say along the way, but his face was gloomy. Alexander was furious, and Lily noticed it. It would be better if he had said something, but he did not. It seemed like an enormous storm was brewing.

She took one of his hands lightly and said, "I'm fine.”

Alexander looked at his wife and remained silent. He only turned his hand over and held hers.

"I'm fine. Don’t I look okay? The police only needed me to answer a few questions for the investigation. They don't have any conclusive evidence and only some speculative insinuations,” she said softly.

"They set up a scheme, but unfortunately, they didn't do it well. I should have arranged to meet up with Damian earlier so at least it can prove that I may have colluded with him," she said half- jokingly.

Lily was not nervous about this matter since it had nothing to do with her. After all, the judge would look at the evidence even if she went to court. However, if the others involved delayed this situation, it would affect her progress on Lisa's perfume.

"How could you joke about this?" Alexander glanced at Lily helplessly, but her smile dissipated his anger. Still, he was furious that these people were courageous enough to set this up and get Lily into trouble. Did they honestly think they could get away with it?

"Isn't it funny to think about such a botched scheme?" Lily leaned on him, feeling that his anger was no longer as intense,

"However, Damian is missing, and I'm unsure if it was part of their plan.”

Damian was Joseph's son, so it did not make sense for Joseph to implicate Damian.

Lily's strongest impression of Damian was when she met him by accident in the hospital that day. He went to look for Naomi but went to the wrong door and found Olivia. It was just a minor encounter, but at that time, it got photographed, and that was one of the photos the officers provided just now.

In other words, someone still secretly followed them that day, and Lily was still unsure who it was. She also thought it was creepy because people followed behind her, like mice in the gutter.

“He’s not the only one missing. The perfumer is missing too," Alexander said with a sneer.

"Oh? No wonder the police didn't say anything when I asked about the perfumer involved. In other words, the most crucial witnesses are all missing, so why are the guns pointed at me?" Lily started to feel that someone had schemed against her.

"No one will dare to harm you!" Alexander held his wife tighter, his eyes burning with anger. “Whoever has the guts to lay even a finger on you will pay tenfold! ”

Lily remained silent.

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 awhile 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 retirement plan!"

Arianna was no longer afraid of anything. No one could stop her from climbing up. Not only did she want control of the Tanner Corporation but also the Richards family. She aspired to be the one everyone in Brown City and Ruby City looked up to.

"You..." When it came to Benedict, Stephanie was so angry that she rubbed her chest with one hand and gasped for air.

She was already relatively weak, and since she had been taking care of Derrick recently, she was even more haggard. Arianna was using Benedict's circumstances to aggravate her.

“Aunt Stephanie, don't be so angry. It's not good for your health,” Arianna said as she walked past Stephanie toward the room with the document bag in her hand.

With a smile, she pushed open the room door and said, "Uncle Derrick, I'm here to..." Before she could finish her words, the smile condensed on her face. She did not expect there to be other people in the room.

Mr. Quinn and Mr. Jackson were the two major shareholders of the company. They started the business together with the old chairman. They were quite elderly now and usually would not ask too much about the company. Arianna did not expect to see them there.

Arianna initially did not take them seriously. After all, the company would belong to her as long as she obtained Derrick’s shares, including the private seal and the key to the safe. It did not matter if these two old folks supported it or not.

The appearance of these two older people came as a complete surprise.

"Hello, Mr. Quinn and Mr. Jackson,” she greeted with a smile.

The men nodded slightly, expressionless.

"Uncle Derrick, have you been feeling better in the past two days? What did the doctor say?" She walked over calmly, bending over to face

Derrick with a worried expression.

Derrick turned away, his gaze drifting across her face indifferently. She was not embarrassed and continued to smile, saying, "It appears that you look better than a few days ago. You were drowsy the other day and were asleep most of the time. It's good that you have visitors here to keep you company.”

Apart from her, no one spoke. She continued,” By the way, why are Mr. Quinn and Mr. Jackson here? I heard that they were busy with matters at home. Who invited them over?

"l invited them," Standing at the door, Stephanie looked at Arianna and said, "Your uncle's health is not very good. Some things need to be arranged in advance. In addition to Mr. Quinn and Mr. Jackson, I have also arranged for a lawyer to notarize a will. What else do you want to know?"

Startled for a while, Arianna did not expect her to do this and immediately laughed again, saying, "I have nothing to ask, but since Uncle Derrick is still in good health, why should there be a will? By the way, Benedict also...”

"Arianna!" Stephanie shouted, and her face was stern, "Your uncle is very tired. You should leave.”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 845

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!" With a forced smile, Arianna knew there was nothing more she could say, so she could only leave, "Aunt Stephanie, please take good care of Uncle Derrick!" Arianna said meaningfully, but Stephanie gave her an icy smile, not even trying to walk her out the door.

After leaving the hospital, Arianna became angrier the more she thought about it. Initially, she believed that everything was in order and that there was no issue at all. She did not anticipate that something would go wrong at such a crucial moment. What else could happen?

Even if she wanted to bribe them now, it would be challenging. The Tanner Corporation has been getting too much attention recently, and every move attracted the media's attention. She could not encounter any problems at the moment.

She spent so much thought and laid out such a big plan. Although she believed everything was set up perfectly, there were still a few minor errors. Damian was still nowhere to be found, which made things a little suspicious.

How could her team know nothing about what was happening? Could it be that Damian already went to the heavens, so that’s why no one could find out about his whereabouts? He was an uncontrolled variable that made her feel uneasy.

Sitting in the car and thinking for a while, she took out her phone and made a call.

"Any news on Damian? Not yet?" She grew angrier as she ran her finger through her hair and asked, "Why is it so hard to find out where someone is? What are you guys even doing? I need you to find out where he is, whether he is out of town or out of the country! I need updates!”

She did not even ask them to bring him home. She only wanted to know where Damian went. Was it that difficult? She started the car and drove directly to the hotel after giving it some thought.

Noah intended to remain in the hotel for a considerable time, so he had yet to make plans to purchase a home. Arianna knew where he lived and what room he lived in.

When she went upstairs, she paused, went to the front desk, and instructed, "Please send a bottle of red wine to room 1818."

She then took the elevator up. No one was in the elevator since it was so high up in the building. She quickly took out the lipstick from her purse, touched up her makeup, and fixed her hair nicely.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 846

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 sat on the soft sofa and raised her head to look at him. She crossed her legs together, showing her graceful limbs, and said, "I'm so disappointed! I thought you’d be surprised.”

Noah smiled, sat opposite her, and picked a pack of cigarettes off the table. He lit one and said, "You didn't come here to seduce me, did you?"

"Doi need to do that?" Arianna’s voice was very charming and soft. "Besides, even if that were the case, am I not pretty enough for you?"

After blowing a smoke ring, Noah approached her. Arianna raised her head, trying to make her neck curve as perfectly as possible. Her eyes stared at him with affection.

However, Noah reached out to squeeze her chin and then lifted it. His eyes seemed to be examining her like a product. He looked at it carefully and said, "You're very beautiful indeed!”

"Of course!" She pursed her lips and was very happy to be praised.

"However, do you think I've never seen beautiful women?" He let go, and his expression lacked interest. "Do you think that Kingsland lacks beautiful women?"

Those two questions were quite an insult to Arianna.

She was under the impression that her natural beauty was on par, if not higher, than the beauty of the women working in the entertainment industry. She did not think that there were many daughters of aristocratic families around her who could surpass her beauty. However, in front of Noah, it was not worth mentioning.

"I know there's certainly no shortage of beautiful women in Kingsland. Still, Noah, is there someone as beautiful and capable as I am?" She said this as she lay on her side, exposing her curves.

She took off her jacket as soon as she entered the door. Only a black dress was underneath, still wrapped around the body. The curvy lines of her body were outlined very clearly when she lay down.

The atmosphere in the room was very sultry. She feels that only a few men could hold it in, and most men would suffer from excitement. Noah stood there, looking down at her with deep eyes.

Just when there was an ambiguous smell in the air, and the temperature slowly rose, the doorbell rang, and the room service came to deliver the wine.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 847

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, so I know how it feels.Still, we’re different.No matter how hard I try, they won’t respect me because I'm a woman.Don't you think it's funny?"

Arianna did not look at Noah when she said that.Her eyes were on the red wine in the glass.It looked so beautiful as it sloshed around inside the glass, but in the end, it would still end up in someone’s stomach.

"Noah, you’re different.You have the opportunity and the ability.How can you be willing to give someone something that originally belonged to you? It’s supposed to be yours, so why would you give it to someone else?"

While talking, she poured herself another drink and unknowingly drank half the bottle.Her speech gradually became a little more illogical and chaotic.

Noah did not drink much and was paying full attention to her.He felt that Arianna seemed a little different.He wondered if something or someone had aggravated her.

To some extent, he had heard about the Tanner family and even sent someone to investigate Arianna.He knew she was Joseph’s only daughter and the Tanner family’s second child.

However, Joseph had an illegitimate son and wanted to hand the family business to him.

Arianna was not reconciled and wanted to use Noah’s power and background to consolidate her position.

It was a common situation when two wealthy families got entangled in marriage.However, Noah did not like such a scheming woman.

Arianna's scheming and trickery ran too deep.It would be very tiring to spend a lifetime with such a woman.He would have to constantly keep an eye on whether or not she would plot against him.

‘She might be a good business partner, but it’s better to keep things simple"

Of course, Arianna did not know what he was thinking.She simply listed all the conditions together.

After thinking about it, she felt that Noah was the most suitable candidate for her.He had a good and wealthy family background and was handsome enough.

The only thing was that she never considered whether Noah liked her.

In Arianna’s opinion, liking each other was not so important.She believed that being beneficial to each other would keep their relationship more robust.

Benefits could tie two people together or separate them.Her parents had spent many years together because they benefited from each other.

That was also why Joseph did not file for divorce.So, did it matter whether or not Noah liked her?

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 848

"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 still engraved deep in her heart.She used to love him and wanted to marry him.It was hard not to love a man like that, but her plan had failed and almost cost her.

Since then, she had to let him go, put away her fantasies about him, and start looking for other men in the circle.It was challenging for Arianna to find Noah, but he rejected her.

Arianna only felt slapped in the face and gritted her teeth in hatred.She wondered what she lacked compared to Lily and why every man liked her.

Noah kept quiet and was thinking about it.

He was unsure whether or not he liked Lily.

He admitted that he paid much attention to Lily and wanted to overpower her, but did that mean he had feelings for her? That did not seem to be the case.

At least he did not feel jealous when he saw her with Alexander.

However, he was sure he did not have feelings for Arianna.

Even if she leaned in his arms, and he desired her sexy body, his desires would disappear whenever he thought of being with Arianna over the next few decades.

Since he did not say anything, Arianna naturally did not understand how he felt.She only thought his silence meant he admitted to liking Lily.

After becoming slightly sober, she moved away from Noah’s arms and looked at him with a much colder expression, saying, "Then let me remind you.Lily is very devoted to Alexander.Liking her would just be a waste of your time and efforts."

"Is the result important?"

Noah raised his eyes to look at Arianna disapprovingly.

"Don't you think the process is the most exciting?"

‘It seems Noah is determined to get Lily for himself, which means I wasted my time and efforts on him! Most importantly, Noah won’t team up with me to go against Lily"

Arianna had screwed up her own scheme.

"Since you’re making things clear, I'll leave."

Arianna flicked her hair, picked up her jacket, and put it on.

Then she put on her belt and continued, "Let me tell you one more thing.Now is the best time if you want her to listen to you and follow your words.

"The Perfumers’ Society was investigating her illegal practices initially, and now the Tanner Corporation is accusing her of adding harmful ingredients to their perfumes.If she doesn't want to suffer in prison, she will have to ask for help."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 849

"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 she was simply trying to gain fame and reputation.

The whole scenario split the netizens in two.

One side believed in Lily, saying she was innocent and could overcome the obstacles.

They believed in her character and ability to create extraordinary perfumes.

On the other, some thought no one would simply set a scheme to frame her.She never acknowledged the certificate issue, so these people wondered if it were true that Lily did not have the proper qualifications.

They also wanted to know if she tampered with the Tanner Corporation’s first-ever perfume.

The more skeptical netizens heard her saying she could add various ingredients to perfumes in a past press conference and wondered if she had done it again.

There were two conflicting sides, but Lily never responded.She seemed busy the past two days and ran in and out of the studio.She had many calls but was unsure why she was so busy.

However, one day, an unexpected guest visited the studio.

It was rare for Noah to see that the door was open, so he walked in without knocking.

The whole yard was full of plants as various scents filled the air.

There were scents of flowers, herbs, and even medicine.It smelled a little weird when the scents mixed.

As a perfumer, even if he had grown accustomed to the strange mixture of scents, each one was different, so he felt a little uncomfortable.

Noah saw Lily behind a wall, cutting grass and putting them in the basket beside her, then reaching for another plant.

She seemed so focused that she did not notice anyone entering until Noah coughed.

Lily paused and turned around.

The sun was too dazzling, so she squinted slightly and looked at him.

"Wow, you seem quite relaxed,"

Noah said, walking under the flower corridor to block the sun.

"You came all this way to tell me a joke?"

Lily lowered her head and continued with her work without looking up.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 850

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 things as well.

When it came to making perfume, those were the basics It seemed simple, but it must be hands-on.

Experiencing the difference in the raw materials was crucial during the mixing process and improving their usage.

Most of these steps were done by assistants after he joined the society in recent years, and he only mixed the fragrance, which he had not done in a long time.

"Now the Tanner family is accusing you of tampering with their perfume, and you don't have the qualifications to practice.If you add these two charges together, you can't escape the prison sentence,"

Noah continued, not standing far from her.

"Are you really not worried at all? Unless you have so much confidence in La Beauté Group and Alexander's ability and think he’ll be able to protect you?"

"I'm not sure whether he can help me out of this, but I know he’ll do his best."

After washing her hands, Lily turned to look at him, "You don’t have to worry about me going to jail.You have contributed to this, and I will remember it."

Looking at her watery eyes, Noah felt a little guilty.

She did not ask for help, even though he was an insider and therefore aware of everything that was happening, down to the last detail, and he was managing the line that could make her rise or fall.She did not even panic at all.

"Why are you so stubborn? Since you're in this industry, shouldn't you abide by the rules? Getting a perfumer certificate and joining the society is what every perfumer in Hyderland wants.The opportunity is right in front of you.As long as you are willing to bow your head, admit your mistake, and take an exam, I promise you’ll pass and then join the society.How does that sound?"

He felt that Lily was stubborn to the core.He had lit a bright road for her.

As long as she agreed, the road ahead would be smooth, but she chose the wrong path instead.

"With you?"

There was a mocking smile on her face.

Lily took two steps forward and looked at him.

"What are you talking about? You're saying that a new perfumer who wants to enter the industry must abide by the rules you or your team set? If they don’t follow, they’re not worthy of being a perfumer or even entering the industry? Is this what you're saying?"

"Noah, do you want to stay as a perfumer or be something even greater?"

Noah was shocked.

The question pierced into his heart, making him speechless for a while.

"That means you refuse to admit your mistake?"

Noah took a deep breath and asked.

"I'm not wrong, so why should I admit it?"

She still looked pale, "I'm not afraid.I can wait, and you should wait too."
