Chapter 589
“The invitation card was a fake.”
“It‘s fake?!” Lily was shocked. She did think something was wrong with the invitation this time or that
the other party had other intentions. However, she had never expected the invitation card to be fake.
“How can it be fake? I saw the Perfumers‘ Society seal on it, so it doesn‘t seem fake. We can report it
to the police if someone deliberately counterfeited it.”
Alexander nodded. “This matter is not that simple. I‘ve checked the seal, and it is genuine. So, it should

seal? Also, do you know who owns the place you‘re living in?”
“Who is the owner?” How would she know who owned the place?
“Have you heard of the Richards of Kingsland?” Alexander was unsure how much Lily knew and
explained to her slowly, “That place belongs to the Richards‘ youngest son, Noah Richards.”
“Noah?!” Lily had only felt that the name sounded familiar earlier. However, she had just met him
earlier, and she could not forget him so quickly. “Do you know him?” Alexander asked in curiosity when
he saw her unusual reaction. “He was one of the participants in the previous sampling competition in
Westwood and...” Lily paused halfway as she recalled their encounter earlier. No wonder he looked at
her so strangely. It turned out that the courtyard belonged to him. Was all this his doing?
Alexander frowned and asked, “And what?”
Lily thought it through and decided to tell Alexander everything, “I met him earlier in a small shop.” “Did
he say anything to you?” Alexander nervously asked when he heard that she had met him earlier.
Lily shook her head. “He likely was not convinced that he lost to me last time. He said lie would like to
compete with me again. I didn‘t think much about it then, but now that I know he was the one who
arranged all of this, I can‘t help but wonder what his purpose is.”

spoiled him since he was a child. He dabbles in perfumery, but I didn‘t expect you two to have met in
such a situation.”
Lily noticed Alexander‘s severe expression and knew Noah was not a simple person she could easily
dismiss. Alexander was more relaxed in the previous matters.
She, too, had heard of the Richards family of Kingsland, even if she had not interacted with them
before. Although they were not very influential in the business world and did not seem to have a lot of
properties, they still had an influential status due to their family background. “Does he just want to
compete with me? If so, then this is straightforward. I‘ll just compete with him.” This was nothing
serious if his purpose were that simple. Even so, Lily feared that things were not as they seemed.
