Chapter 117: Lily Is Just a Student of Q

In a hillside villa, Sean looked skeptically at the members of the Reed family gathered before him, including not only Amber but also Elizabeth, Pinewood, and Talon. After the Reed family had gone bankrupt, driven to desperation by their creditors, they had thought about clinging to Hugo for survival. However, Sean appeared at that moment, not only clearing their debts but also promising to help revive their company. Thus, they were profoundly grateful and compliant to him. "Do you really believe this Tina Reed knows nothing about perfumes?" Sean asked with suspicion.

Elizabeth hurriedly shook her head, replying, "Absolutely not. Even if her mother knew a bit, she died when Tina was only nine. What could she have possibly taught her? She grew up in the mountains, far from any chance to learn such things." "Then why would she dare to challenge me?" Sean asked, puzzled.

"She must be relying on the formulas her mother left behind," Elizabeth answered.

Sean had thought the same but still asked, "Didn't you say the formula your son gave you was the last one?"

"Hmph, that's what he said, but I don't believe it," Elizabeth scoffed. "When Rebecca was with us, she had shown eight perfume formulas. She always took precautions; how could she have left only one formula for my son? That bastard just refuses to bring it out!"

Even that one had only been given under the condition of severing their relationship.

Thinking of the perfume formulas in Hugo's possession, a glint of greed and coldness flashed in Sean's eyes. He dismissed the Reed family members with a wave, "Alright, you can go now."

"But Mr. Sean, our company..." Elizabeth began hesitantly.

"I told you, as long as you follow my plans from now on, I guarantee your family will rise again," Sean said dismissively.

Elizabeth pressed her lips together, dissatisfied but not daring to say more. She led the others out.

"Amber, stay," Sean called out.
