Before Ariel could regain her composure, Benjamin had already come and seen her."Ariel!" He yelled and moved toward her, but he instantly behaved when he saw the glare Elizabeth shot at him."Watch your tone! Greet her politely!" Elizabeth warned. Among her grandchildren, she couldn't stand Benjamin the most, as he was often rude and lazy, and he liked to flaunt the family's wealth. Given her bad mood, she found Benjamin even more annoying. She struck him on the leg with her walking cane."You didn’t come back for Thanksgiving. Why have you returned now?""If I'd known that Ariel was here, I would have come back long ago." Benjamin looked at Ariel with puppy-dog eyes, but Ariel looked away, avoiding his gaze.Ariel said softly to Elizabeth, "Grandma, I'm not feeling too well. I'll go get some rest.""Alright, go ahead.""Ariel …" Benjamin wanted to follow her, but Elizabeth stopped him with her walking cane."I'm warning you—don't you dare have any inappropriate thoughts for A

"You'll get to meet her during the new fragrance launch," Peter calmly replied before asking Katie to leave.Katie left his office. It didn't make sense to her, no matter how much she thought about it. She'd never even met the perfumer; there was no reason for them to hold a grudge against her. Peter, on the other hand, seemed to harbor some resentment toward her since she'd returned to the country. Before, he'd deliberately gone around her to meet Stephen. And now he'd announced a new fragrance without even consulting her. Wasn't he intentionally undermining her?Katie glanced back at his office, thinking hard. Was it possible that Peter didn't want to retire?…Due to the success of Orchid Night, the up-and-coming fragrance Muguet was about to release received a lot of attention too.According to their official source, the new fragrance was going to be a limited edition. It was already a sensation online before sales even began. They predicted that the price of this perfume woul

As expected, the moment Simone heard that it was an endorsement for Miller Jewels, she rejected Julian without any hesitation."I've been in the industry for so long. I don't need to do favors for anyone anymore. If Stephen wants to please his wife, he'll have to come up with another way." Then Simone threw her phone to her manager."You don't have to ask me about these low-level endorsements in the future; just reject them.""But …" Her manager said hesitatingly, "You've been so busy on set for the past two days that I couldn't find a chance to tell you that Ariel has become the brand ambassador for Robinson Jewels, announcing her comeback. I'm guessing that Mr. Anderson looked for you because he wants you to help compete with Ariel. I didn't dare to make any decision on your behalf."Ever since she'd started out in the industry all those years ago, Simone had only ever considered Ariel as her competition. Now that Ariel had made a comeback in such a high-profile manner, it wasn't

"Hello, everyone." Yvonne accepted the microphone and greeted everyone in a friendly manner.Everyone finally snapped out of their shocked daze and began to whisper among themselves."Isn't Yvonne Miller in jewelry? How does she even know how to make perfumes?""Muguet made this launch such a big thing today. Is this all a joke?""And I figured that someone who could come up with such a sexy perfume must be a beautiful woman …"They were all surprised, but many of them were also disappointed. Yvonne had anticipated this reaction. She smiled, signaled the staff to pass down the perfume samples, and began to explain the entire process of creating the perfume.Any professional would be able to discern that her speech wasn't one that had been memorized. On top of that, the smell had indeed won them over.Slowly, the sounds of doubt died down. Under the spotlight, Yvonne smiled confidently. She didn't need to be overly stunning to win over the hearts of the people.In comparison, Ka

"Ariel's return was trending for the past few days, right? And now, Yvonne has such huge news too …"James scratched his chin and thought out loud in a serious manner, "Which woman would be able to stand their man's ex-girlfriend making a comeback in such a high-profile manner? I've seen a lot of women. I understand them better than all of you. Women are such jealous creatures! But this is the first time I've seen two women fighting to outshine each other in such a grand manner!"James looked at Stephen with admiration in his eyes. "Only Stephen would deserve women fighting over him on such a grand scale! If I were a woman, I might even outdo them!"Stephen furrowed his brows a little, not responding. Although James often exaggerated his words, this time he made sense. At that moment, Stephen remembered how Yvonne had looked disappointed when she'd been on her phone the other night. She'd said that she was chatting with Rachel about the news. He guessed it must have been about Ariel
