Chapter 1141:
Fabianâs interest was clearly piqued. ââDo go on.ââ
Allison exchanged a quick glance with Kellan before continuing her explanation.
ââCharisma Company aims to create something akin to the Aröme Tower in Ontdale, but weâre currently short on talented perfumers to bring it to life.ââ
Her true aim, of course, was far more personal â to uncover clues about her motherâs disappearance.
She continued after a brief pause, ââThatâs precisely why weâre hoping to collaborate with Dibya Group to train a team of world-class perfumers.ââ
ââThat does sound intriguing.ââ Fabianâs interest was immediately captivated. ââEven as the owner of the Aröme Tower, Iâve observed that the more gifted a perfumer is, the more reluctant they are to share their craft.ââ
Fabian locked his gaze firmly on hers. ââMs. Clarke, if your goal is to nurture top-tier perfumers, does that mean youâre prepared to share your own formulas?ââ
Allison wasnât fazed by the question in the slightest.
ââFormulas are nothing more than the end product. I firmly believe in teaching them the art of crafting their own formulas,ââ she responded with unwavering calm. ââMy goal is to shape them into the finest perfumers in the industry.ââ
ââIâll give it some serious thought.ââ Fabian gave an intrigued nod. ââIâll provide you with an answer once the meeting concludes.ââ
He cast a glance at his secretary, who promptly began jotting notes in his notebook.
ââSince tonight is a birthday banquet, letâs save the finer details for another time,ââ Fabian remarked, lifting his glass in a toast to Allison. ââBut allow me to toast in advance to what Iâm sure will be a successful partnership.ââ
Allison lifted her glass and toasted, saying, âHereâs to a successful partnership.â

She felt comfortable and connected when she spoke with Fabian. He had a calm, wise presence that made him feel like a mentor.
The others watched in shock.
âWait, did I hear that correctly? The deal is done!â
It was obvious that Kellan and Allison had locked down the investment partnership.
Actually, it wasnât much of a shock.
Allison had made a strong impression on everyone. Any company would want to have someone as brilliant as her.
âThat bitch, she really pulled it off,â Hoyt muttered. Standing nearby, he had heard every word. A wave of anger flooded his chest.
He had expected Kellan to focus on securing investments for the Lloyd Group. But now, it looked like Kellan was only out for himself!
As he thought this, Hoytâs lips curled into a bitter sneer.
He shot a venomous glare at both Allison and Kellan.
ââIâm curious to see how youâll explain this to Dad when you get back!ââ he spat.
The party soon grew livelier.
In a quiet spot, Colton, already drunk, sipped from a glass of strong whiskey. âWhy does this stuff taste so bitter?â he muttered. With a bitter laugh, he tossed in some ice and drank it all in one go. It was clear to everyone that he was trying to drown his problems in alcohol.
