The incident relating to Lawrence was considerable and had terrible consequences. After all, he was the leading authority in the industry, and no one had ever dared to challenge authority. It was equivalent to a collapse of faith if one heard that the authority had fallen.
Noah was also under a lot of pressure, as he was busy managing the turbulence in the Perfumers' Society. After all, he was the vice president and bore a lot of responsibilities. Noah packed up and planned to return to Kingsland to sort out the whole situation. That way, he could respond and fight back better. However, Arianna came again right at this moment.
"Why are you here again? I thought I made myself clear last time." He was clear with his stance and did not want to get involved. He simply had no interest in her.
"Yeah, I thought you had figured things out after these two days." Arianna smiled and said meaningfully.
"Is that so?" Noah raised his eyebrows and lowered his head to continue tidying up the materials and documents on his desk.
"Why bother tidying these if they’re just a pile of waste paper? As you can see, Lily is a difficult woman to deal with. I knew it since the first time I fought with her. She might look introverted and weak, but she’s a stubborn and ambitious woman. She even dared to plot against Mr. Adler. What else could she be afraid of?”
Noah might not like Arianna, but he agreed with her words. He genuinely did not expect Lily to be so troublesome and thought he could suppress her and make her surrender with the Perfumers’ Society’s power and means. Little did he know that she had almost eliminated the entire Perfumers' Society.
Everyone felt precarious due to the recent turbulence in the Perfumers’ Society. No one wanted to be the next victim as they knew the culprit and feared their secrets would be the next to get exposed.
"You must join forces with me if you want to deal with her," Arianna persuaded Noah again.
"You?" Noah glanced at her sideways and sneered, "With all due respect, Tanner Corporation is also in danger, right? The police and Quality Assurance Department are investigating this matter. What? Can you push all the responsibilities on her with a few unfounded photos and videos? Do you think Tanner Corporation can easily evade responsibility?”
Arianna explained, "Even if the Tanner Corporation would be held responsible, it would only be a small part. We will only get charged for careless employment and supervision. It won’t be a problem as long as our senior manager confesses to the crime.
“My family’s corporation is significant and will stand tall, and the Richards family is also an influential family at Kingsland. Don’t tell me you don't even understand this simple concept.”
Noah certainly understood Arianna. However, he also clearly understood her actual intention. He said smilingly, "You wouldn’t have come looking for me if it's as simple as you said. As far as I know, the Tanner Corporation is not yours yet.
“Neither your uncle nor biological father intends to make you the successor. You keep coming to me and even offering yourself to me because you want the power I have behind me and not because you claim to like me.
“I know you want to use the Richards family’s power as your backing and force your uncle to hand over the company's control to you. Am I right?”
Bullseye, Noah had guessed all of it correctly.
Still, Arianna did not hide her intentions as she smiled and said, "Yes, you’re right! Don’t you also need a wife to help you? Is there anyone in the Tanner family who is better than me? In comparison, the Richards family has many descendants.
“Putting aside your generation, the generation after you have also grown up. Are you sure your family will entrust their assets to a disobedient and rebellious son like you?”
