Chapter 1002: Who is the Master Perfumer

Almost everyone present was shocked to their core after hearing Maritza's words.

It was true!

There really was a geomantic array that could change one's fortune?

So, geomancy masters truly existed? And the perfume could actually absorb good luck? How terrifying!

Old Mrs. Hipps stared at Maritza's pale face with a stern and severe gaze. The usually delicate features now appeared utterly detestable in the old lady's eyes.

She slammed her hand heavily on the table and spoke harshly, showing no mercy to Maritza.

"Can you compensate for the Hipps family's loss, Maritza? How dare you commit such an outrageous act!"

Maritza crawled towards Old Mrs. Hipps on her knees, grabbing the hem of her dress with tear-filled eyes. "Grandma, please save me! I didn't mean for this to happen... I had no idea it would be this serious." Old Mrs. Hipps remained expressionless and unmoved.

After a long pause, she said, "Since you've committed such a grave mistake, I have no choice. Bring the family whip!"

The Hipps family whip was a nine-section whip, said to be passed down from their ancestors.

For nearly a century, many Hipps family members who made mistakes couldn't escape the punishment of this whip.

"No! Please, no-" Maritza trembled in fear, her delicate face streaked with tears. She collapsed on the ground, shaking her head in disbelief. "Uncle, Uncle, please save me!"

Clare looked at her coldly. "Because of you alone, Hipps Group's perfume has lost all its reputation. Rebuilding it will be nearly impossible. Now you ask me to save you? Then tell me, who will save Hipps Group's perfume?"

Two servants brought out the nine-section whip. Sylvia saw a rectangular wooden box with intricate patterns symbolizing the Hipps family carved on it.

The box was opened by the butler, and the whip was presented to Old Mrs. Hipps.

Old Mrs. Hipps slowly stood up, gripping the whip in her right hand. Despite her age, she still seemed like the iron-willed general she once was.

She raised her arm and swung the whip. With a loud "crack," it hit the floor, making a sharp sound.

But Maritza thought it had hit her and quickly covered her head in fear.

Old Mrs. Hipps looked at her cowardly appearance and couldn't help but sneer, "Scared already?"

Maritza stared at her blankly, "Grandma, don't hit me, don't hit me..."

Old Mrs. Hipps spoke coldly, "If I don't hit you, how will others be convinced?" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
