His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 911

"It's not that easy for a renowned society to dissolve,” Lily said as she slowly tended to the flowers. "Do you believe the society has come this far only to be dissolved like that? It wasn't established for anyone in particular, and it won't dissolve for anyone. I'm not that powerful."

She merely served as a fire starter. The Perfumers' Society was entirely self-made.

It was inevitable that subordinates would take on the bad habits of their superiors. However, if not for Lawrence's egotism, Noah's desire to impress his family, and the association's desire to move forward while forgetting its original goals, everything would not have fallen apart with the slightest nudge.

Although it appeared that Lily was solely responsible for this, this wasn't the case.

"Then… with so much chaos around it, what would the next move be?"

"Sit back and relax. How many people are sincere and how many have unkind intentions amid such chaos?” Lily trimmed off the extra branches before turning her head and smiling softly. "Think about it. If I did take up this position, I'd have so many responsibilities on my shoulders. I don't think I'm capable of upholding such a role."

Lily had been so focused on creating perfumes that she had no experience in management, so she did not think she was competent enough to take on that role. People who clamored for her to be president either had ulterior motives or were simply blinded by their admiration for her.

It was only once things quieted down that they would be able to sort out their thoughts. Although few were as good as Lily at making perfumes, many people were much better at running a whole society than she was.

"Regardless, I'll never join the Perfumers' Society," she said lightly.

"Madam, there is someone at the gate."

Since her relationship with Alexander became public, and the two were preoccupied with wedding preparations, they had hired domestic help around the house. After all, with the two of them always at home, it would be helpful for someone else to cater to the housework from time to time.

The maids would address Lily as "Madam."

Frowning, she replied, "Didn't I say no visitors were allowed?"

Not only had there been a lot of calls recently, but people were also showing up at their house. Lily would simply send them all away.
