His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 821

Having been with him for so many years, Elizabeth could easily tell if he was truly angry or was faking it. She calmed down after realizing something was amiss and only pouted as she rose to her feet in anger.

“Mom!” Damian rushed over to help her and looked at his father. “Dad, I know it’s all my fault, and this is my responsibility. However, someone has set me up on purpose. I don’t believe there’s a problem with the perfumes. Someone must have done something to cause me trouble.”

He suspected that Arianna sabotaged him, but after some careful thought, he believed that only his own people could have tampered with the manufacturing of perfumes.

Even if Naomi Schiffer had no bad intentions, someone could still mess with the perfumes during their delivery to the lab. However, he was stuck there and could not do anything except make wild guesses.

Joseph snorted. “You’re still not admitting that there’s a problem with the perfumes? To ensure everything was considered, I’ve had all perfumes sent to the lab. Not only the returned scents but also the ones your sister bought for her mother, not to mention the factory's remaining stock. All of them have the same problem!”

“Even if there is a problem with their perfumes, does it prove that the perfume Damian developed is problematic? They could have done something to them.” Elizabeth was unconvinced.

“Can you stop treating them as your enemies?” Joseph gave her a disapproving glare and remarked, "Even if they wanted to do something, would they know what to add to the perfumes? Do you think it’s as easy as lacing wine with drugs?”

Pursing his lips, Damian thought for a moment. “Dad, mom still has a bottle here. Why don’t we take it to the lab for testing?”

“There’s no need.” Having lost all hope, Joseph gave him a dismissive wave. “It won’t make a difference. They all belong to the same batch. How could there be an exception?”

“We can’t say for sure. We’ll only know when we get it tested!” Damian had not given up. “I only managed to hire that famous perfumer from overseas through many connections. If you don’t believe me, Dad, look him up on the Internet. He’s won many awards and is a top perfumer. There’s no way that he’d make a rookie mistake like this. When you see him, you’ll know!”

If there were a problem with the ingredients of the perfumes, then this would be the perfumer’s fault. However, he had complete faith in the perfumer, as the person was a friend he could trust.

“Do you think I haven’t tried to look for him?” Joseph got angry and roared, “Do you think he could still be found?”

Stunned by his yelling, Damian asked, “Still be found? What do you mean?”

“What the f*ck do you think I mean? I knew immediately that the perfumer was the source of the issue, and even if he's innocent, we still need to ensure he stays put. However, I have no information regarding his whereabouts!"

In this case, no news was bad news.

‘If the perfumer is as talented and renowned as he claims and is innocent, why did he vanish? Something’s not right. Someone must be behind all this!’

From how Damian saw it, the whole incident had been a carefully planned trap.

“Dad, someone set me up. I’m telling the truth!”

It was only then that he became truly worried. The hope he had clung to before this was crumbling, and he was falling into despair.
