Chapter 998

Maritza was surprised that Sylvia, who had just arrived, even knew the place used to be called "Moonlight Courtyard." She was momentarily stunned and found herself unable to meet Sylvia's clear almond eyes.

She hastily shifted her gaze to a camphor tree in the yard, trying to explain calmly, "After I moved here, I felt that 'Moonlight Courtyard' sounded a bit tacky, so I changed it. 'Lakeside Pavilion' sounds much better."

She had even consulted a master back then, who told her that "Lakeside Pavilion" would bring her good fortune.

She also sought the master's guidance to help elevate her career.

The master indeed helped her achieve what she desired.

Now, she was one of the top perfumers in the Hipps family company. Although she couldn't surpass Sylvia, she considered herself quite skilled in perfumery. Especially with her perfume "Dark Secret," which sold very well and brought significant profits to Hipps Group's perfume company. This was all thanks to her. She had her merits, so why should she be afraid?

No one knew about her consultation with the master back then.

Who in the Hipps family would know?

With this thought, she regained her confidence.

Sylvia observed the small courtyard for a while and then frowned slightly.

It was evident that there was a formation in this small courtyard. Although it was a small one, the array eye was the camphor tree.

This formation nurtured negative energy, and over time, it would breed a lot of malicious energy.

The longer this malicious energy lingered, the more it would accumulate.

Over time, it would gradually affect the overall fortune of the Hipps family, like a thousand-mile dyke being destroyed by an ant nest. She could not let such a thing happen.

A cold glint flashed in her almond eyes.

It seemed Maritza had issues, especially since she detected a faint scent of blood in the woman's concoctions.

Maritza had no idea that she had already caught Sylvia's attention.

Sylvia looked up at the camphor tree, which appeared lush and green.

From the outside, there seemed to be no problem at all.

So after Clare and the others chatted with Maritza for a while, they left with Sylvia.

Seeing them leave, Maritza finally relaxed a bit.

She immediately returned to her workspace and continued working on the unfinished perfume on her workbench.
