Chapter 372 Spicing Up Their Romance


    The dinner at the Yorks hadn’t officially started yet.


    The family was in the living hall downstairs. Only the older members of the family were surrounding Joseph. talking in the ss


    room above the backyard.


    Everyone saw the scene in Gabriel''s fragrance blending room, and started talking among themselves.


    “| heard yesterday, she concocted a fragrance for Gabriel in front of everyone using many types of roses as a base, saying that it


    results in a stark contrast between control and impulse. There''s definitely something


    between those two!”


    “Is that.....how artists spice things up in their romance... in the fragrance blending room?” someone remarked


    with a chuckle.


    Joseph''s face turned dark with displeasure.


    He turned back and nced at his two grandsons, his eyes glinting. Harlow couldn''t contain his gleeful


    expression, while Leo stood there looking aloof, which came as a surprise to Joseph.


    “Grandpa, this is their personal affair. It’s not that appropriate for us to continue looking at them, is it?”


    Harlow deliberately said.


    “Shut it off” Joseph instructed with a wave of his hand.


    The image on the big screen disappeared, and Joseph went on, “I’ve already invited her to our family dinner.


    Send someone to the fragrance blending room to call her over.”


    “Yes, Mr. York,” the butler said.


    “Grandpa, what about Gabriel? Do we invite him, too?” Harlow deliberately tried to blow things up, wanting to


    see the world burn. “We’ve ruined things between them. Shouldn’t wepensate him for it?”


    “What did you ruin?”


    Suddenly, a clear voice sounded, shocking everyone into silence.


    Especially Harlow.


    What?


    How did someone who was caught on surveince camera in the fragrance blending room dozens of miles away suddenly


    appear here? What in the world?!


    “Pardon me, Mr. York. Leo gave me a gown and some jewelry, and we agreed that I’de here tonight and thank him in


    person. | asked Leo’s men to bring me up here the moment | arrived. | hope | didn’t interrupt anything?” Mnie said with a


    gracious smile as she entered the ss room above the backyard.


    “No, you didn’t,” Joseph said kindly.


    Harlow stared at Mnie in disbelief, wishing he could ask her what she was doing here.

    Mnie smiled as she looked at Harlow. “I heard you say that you ruined something between me and someone. What is it?”


    “Uh... Harlow’s mind drew a nk, not knowing what to say in response to her question.


    Leo smiled, and walked toward Mnie. “Perhaps my brother had the wrong idea, and thought you were still in the fragrance


    blending room concocting a perfume.”


    “Oh, yes.” Mnie said, as if she suddenly thought of something. “I did go to the fragrance blending room in the afternoon. After


    Mr. York gave me something to think aboutst night, it sparked some new inspiration for mypetition submission. But the


    moment | walked in, there was a power outage. Many people starteding into the room and ruined my mood to concoct


    perfume, so | left.”


    “Mr. Lindsey’s assistant told me just now that because the generator had to restart, he might have identally locked someone


    in the fragrance blending room and needed Mr. York to inform thepetitionmittee. If the person locked inside wasn’t the


    participants and therefore didn’t have the ess card, he’d be stuck in there with no way out,” Mnie said,ying the


    groundwork for her counter-attack.


    “Go and see who''s locked up in there,” Joseph said. He was very clear what Mnie was trying to do, and went with the flow.


    The Yorks acted swiftly.


    Very soon, news came from the fragrance blending room through a call that the family’s butler picked up. After hanging up the


    phone, he began stuttering in his report.


    Joseph yelled with irritation. “Speak! Who is it?”


    “They are Mr. Harlow’s men,” the butler finally said.


    Everyone gasped.


    No wonder Harlow kept insinuating things earlier. This was his ploy to begin with!


    “Strange. How did Mr. Harlow’s men appear in the fragrance blending room?”


    Mnie pushed forth, and said with feigned innocence, “Only the participants and organizers of thepetition are allowed into


    the fragrance blending room. No one else has their fingerprints registered in the lock or the ess card. Did they seize the


    chance during the power outage to go in? But why go to Mr. Lindsey’s fragrance blending room?”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Harlow was frustrated to see his n foiled and Mnie hitting back so quickly. Her incessant talking added fuel to the fire, and


    he was on the verge of exploding.


    However, he had to hold himself back in front of Joseph.


    “Harlow, how do you exin this?” Joseph looked up at Harlow with displeasure.


    “Misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding.” Harlow began denying things. “I don’t know why they’re inside, either. Perhaps


    when there was a power outage in the fragrance blending room, my subordinate coincidentally walked past and thought


    someone was in trouble and he entered to try to help?”

    “Oh?”


    Mnie continued from where he left off, “It seemed Mr. Harlow’s subordinates are all like you, with a heart of gold eager to help


    others. In that case, why did you say something about ruining your ns earlier? How did you know | was in Mr. Lindsey’s


    fragrance blending room? Did your subordinate tell you that?”
