Chapter 108 Amelia’s Jealousy Hurt Shirley
In the living room, everyone’s gaze was on the wound on the back of Shirley’s hand. Everyone was
feeling sorry because of this.
In the auction this time round, many people came because of Shirley. As long as it’s a fragrance that
was concocted by her, even if the price was sky-high, everyone was willing to buy it.
Simply because she was the only person under Mr. Stewart’s name that did not place her fragrances in
the marketplace. Only her patients were able to get access to her fragrances, hence she was
particularly sought after.
This had made Amelia green with envy.
God is so unfair, other people were working so hard, but their reward was still not comparable to those
that couldn’t care less.
Kevin frowned slightly, and placed his hand on top of the back of Shirley’s right hand, and said, “Amelia
is right, stop concocting the fragrances anymore.”
Shirley didn’t reject Kevin’s suggestion. She nodded and said, “Alright, I just recalled that I still have
some inventory, I’ll rearrange the information and send it over to Master.”
Seeing that her words had not managed to attack Shirley, Amelia felt very unhappy, “How long have
you had those inventory for, could it be the defective products that you concocted in the past, and
bringing it onto the market for auction now.”
“Amelia.” Arthur’s face was serious.
Everyone turned to look at Arthur.
Arthur said, “Both you and Paisley are my best disciples, if you ruin her reputation, that would equate to
damaging the reputation of your own fellow brothers and sisters, people would think that this is the way
I educate my disciples. Do you think you would be any better off?”
After a telling off, Amelia’s arrogant fire got put out immediately.
She slowly turned her head and said, “Master, I’m just joking around with my sister, you don’t have to
take it seriously, how could I possibly go out and say that the perfume she is auctioning off is defective.
Even if it is indeed defective, it would still be better and more valuable than those concocted by people
like us.”
“Since you know that my defective fragrances are better than yours, then Sister Amelia you have to Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
work harder in experimenting with new fragrances, instead of trying to find fault with me over here.
Every sister and brother have their own results, why are you stagnant at your current position and not
moving forward.” Shirley had never insulted others on their technical capabilities, she was also not
trying to target Amelia, but Amelia really disgusted her.
Two years ago, she had hurt the two children, and she hadn’t even gotten an explanation for it.
Arthur took a look at her, and didn’t say anything.
Everyone seated who didn’t know the details would perhaps feel that Shirley and Amelia are like a cat
and a dog, but Arthur and Kevin knew the reason Shirley only targeted Amelia.
Amelia’s face turned dark because of her provocation.
She hated people comparing her to Shirley, now Shirley was adding salt to her wounds in front of
everybody, she felt extremely angry.
“Paisley, don’t be too much.”
“Sister Amelia you’ve been targeting me since you came, I only said a few words, not too much at all.”
Shirley picked up the tea in front of her, her expression calm and indifferent.
Amelia gritted her teeth, “You…”
“Amelia.” Kevin frowned and called out at her, “Your sister is injured, she can no longer concoct any
more fragrances at the auction, but you are still here mocking her, even wanting to win her. The reason
we’re gathered here today is only to discuss issues about the auction, not here to listen to you
complain.”
Amelia’s eyes widened, the words she had wanted to say got swallowed back down after Kevin’s
scolding.
In Kevin’s eyes carried a hint of impatience, he turned and said, “Paisley, you definitely cannot concoct
any more fragrances with your hands, but you can help us with it.”
“Yes, sister’s concoction methods are more innovative than ours, you can assist us from the side.”
“I agree, if I tell everyone that this fragrance was partly assisted by sister, my status would definitely be
boosted.”
“Bailey is right, sister you have to listen to our big brother, recuperate properly, you can count on us for
the auction.”
The brothers and sisters who were seated by the side all nodded their heads in agreement.
Feeling comforted, Shirley nodded her head, “Alright, I will listen to you brothers and sisters.”
After that she turned around and said to Arthur, “Master, I will try my best for the auction this time
round.”
Arthur smiled and nodded, “I’m not worried when you’re handling these matters. Let’s go to the
fragrance concoction room for a look.”
Arthur got up, and left his seat.
Everyone followed and got up, following behind Arthur.
As for Kevin, he accompanied Shirley and walked together with her.
At the fragrance concoction room, everyone changed into a professional anti-bacterial work uniform.
Kevin felt that Shirley who was fully engaged in her work looked so beautiful. Only when she was
concocting a fragrance, she would let down her guard and her mask, showing her true self.
He looked on quietly at her, who was going around the brothers and sisters. His eyes gradually
dimmed.
With a sudden thought of the two children’s father, Kevin’s mood sank and he frowned.
When he looked towards Shirley again, she was by Arthur’s side.
Amelia on the other hand had also walked over from the other side. In her hands were a bottle of
unknown red liquid, her gaze coldly on Shirley’s left hand, her eyes were filled with malice.
Seeing this scene, Kevin was shocked, without further hesitation he walked quickly towards Shirley. His
hands fell on her back and he pushed her to the front.
Shirley subconsciously yelled in surprise, her body falling forward quickly.
Before she could come back to her senses, there was a strange movement from behind her.
A “thud” sounded, as if a glass tube had been smashed on the floor.
After Shirley stabled herself, she quickly turned around and saw Kevin’s hands clasping Amelia’s wrist,
and his head was lowered looking at the floor.
Shirley followed Kevin’s gaze and looked towards Amelia’s feet. Next to her feet was a puddle of red
liquid that was billowing with smoke, it looked like an ingredient that was just freshly prepared.
The ingredient’s fragrance was everywhere, it smelt like rose.
Seeing this scene, Shirley’s brows furrowed angrily.
She wasn’t stupid, the position Amelia was standing at now was exactly where she stood just now, and
Kevin had also suddenly pushed her away from that position.
Hence, just now when she wasn’t paying attention, what had Amelia wanted to do with the ingredient
that was just freshly boiled?
“Amelia.” Kevin tightened his hold on Amelia’s wrist. Under his unbearable fuming rage, he raised his
other hand, and slapped her heavily.
“Slap!”
“Ah!” Amelia held her face, and fell down heavily on the ground.
She stared unbelievingly at Kevin with wide eyes, shouting, “You’re crazy.”
“What were you doing just now?” Kevin gritted his teeth and scolded.
If he hadn’t managed to stop Amelia, Shirley would have had more injuries on her.
He had really thought too little of Amelia, she had even dared to attack Shirley, under the eyes of so
many people.
“I was concocting a fragrance, didn’t you guys say sister is really great, I wanted to go over and ask her
about my fragrance, why did you suddenly hit me.” Amelia held her face, her eyes brimming with tears,
asking with a face as if she had been wronged.
Shirley and Arthur walked to the front.
Kevin held Shirley’s hand, and said, “Master, I’ll bring Shirley back first.”
He decided not to let Shirley and Amelia be in the same room, if not it was unclear what would happen
next.
