Ch. 4Resolving Relationships


"Lucia, I'm sorry. We should have told you sooner." Beata looked at Lucia with a guilty face and said, "We don't want to hurt you, but we can't control our feelings for each other,"

Lucia cut her off and said, "If you do it, do it. Why don't you admit it? It's so disgusting to see you keep pretending."

Lucia turned to the friend's present and said, "How? Isn't this scene interesting? You can remember this as a keepsake. Moreover, every time Cleon brags or Beata puts on a good face in front of you, you can mock them. In the heart."

No one else dared to offend Cleon, so they bowed and looked down. However, deep down, they felt it was a good thing.

"Lucia." Cleon gritted his teeth, "You will regret what you did today."
Lucia turned suddenly, looked at Cleon, and said, "You want me to regret it? Come on, let's wait and see who will regret it in the end."

After Lucia left, everyone returned to their respective rooms. They were excited and could not wait to tell the others what had happened. This incident will surely spread quickly.

When everyone left, only Cleon and Beata were left in the room. Cleon jumped out of bed. He destroyed everything he could kill but still couldn't calm his anger. Meanwhile, with tears in her eyes, Beata could only hug her legs on the bed.

Cleon didn't care about being a traitor. Among the rich, who doesn't have complicated relationships and extramarital affairs? However, he was a person who loved reputation very much. Moreover, being stuck in bed and seen by the crowd is embarrassing.
Beata is most afraid of being looked down upon and belittled. While people might not openly insult her because of her relationship with Cleon, who knows what they will say about her? Whatever she did after this, they would surely mock her inwardly as a hypocrite.

When Emma entered Lucia's room, she asked, "Have you vented your anger?"

"Letting go of anger?" Lucia poured herself and Emma a small glass of wine, then sat down and said, "This is just a small punishment; the true vent of anger is still waiting."

Emma did not know what Lucia had been through in her previous life, so Lucia could not possibly explain to her how much she hated Cleon and Beata.
The only thing she loved was that man who had given her warmth.

"Sorry, I got you involved."

"No problem." Emma shrugged.
"I promise to help you, and I'm not afraid to offend Cleon. He can't do anything to me."

Emma's grandfather was a compelling person. As long as her grandfather provided support, Cleon couldn't touch Emma. In her previous life, because of Emma's grandfather, who suddenly died, Cleon's grandfather had the opportunity to oppress the Jones family. However, Lucia will change each of these regrets individually in this life.
The next day, Lucia returned home with some people from the moving agency. As soon as she entered the house, she saw everyone waiting. They looked at Lucia with embarrassed expressions.

Lucia was too lazy to pay attention to them. Then she took the people from the service bureau upstairs to help pack the essentials and immediately moved out.

As Lucia led the men upstairs, Brown's father, stepmother, and Beata carefully followed. They wanted to know what they wanted to do with the people.

They thought Lucia had brought someone else to dump Beata's things, but instead, she led the men to her room and told them what to pack. She then took the others to her mother's study.

There are many essential things in this room, so there are two types of locks: a password and a manual key. Only Lucia can open the door to this room.

"Lucia, are you moving?" Helena and Emil looked at each other, then back at Lucia and said, "Lucia, I know you're angry. But we didn't want to hurt you, so we kept it from you. Feelings like this can't be forced."

"Did I say I was going to try to force something?" Lucia cut her off and said, "If you want to see, please step back and don't get in the way of these people's work."

"Lucia! You have gone too far." Emil behaved like a father.
"You are angry at Cleon, which is very bad for you and the company. Besides, if Cleon doesn't marry you, he can choose whoever he wants. If it weren't for Beata, he would be with someone else. It would help if you were happy that Beata is with him. If you don't, then when you do all this, the company will be destroyed by your actions."

"Everything you say disgusts me. Can you shut up?" Lucia said expressionlessly.

"Lucia, I know this will be hard to accept for a while, but Beata feels sorry. And you've even made so many people talk and laugh about it. You've punished him. Cleon is furious now, too, and Beata has pleaded with Cleon. To forgive you. You can apologize personally to Cleon later and let him vent his anger at you. Then pretend it's all in the past, okay?"

Helena and Emil acted as if the matter wasn't a big deal. They act soft and hard on Lucia.
Both of them wanted her to apologize to Cleon directly. However, they also told her not to care about Beata and to let her stay in this house.

Lucia's mother took over the company from her grandfather, who produced perfume, aromatherapy, essential oils, and other items. Even though it's not a big brand or a small company, it's still well-earned.
Although very good at business, Lucia's mother did not inherit her grandfather's talent for aromatherapy. Lucia is the same. Although she had studied perfume since childhood, her talent for aromatherapy creation could be considered only average. Her sensitivity to scent is still less sensitive, and her sense of smell could be better. She couldn't be compared to Beata, who would later be called a perfume genius.

Lucia's grandfather left Lucia's mother with more than forty books on perfume, incense, and aromatherapy. All of them were passed down from generations of the Brown family's ancestors.
The things written in the book are all in the form of codes. When Lucia was a child, her mother taught her how to read it correctly and told her that she must not forget. In her previous life, even though Lucia could read them, she did not understand the contents of the books in depth because her sense of smell was not very good. However, after rebirth, Lucia tried to read the books and found that they were easier to understand now.

In her previous life, Lucia felt depressed because she could not understand the contents of the books. Lucia thought that she had betrayed her mother's hopes and trust. Beata said that she would help her. Moreover, because she trusted Beata, she was stupid enough to write down how to understand the books and give them to Beata to read. Later, Beata became a very famous perfumer and aromatherapist at a young age. That's what plays a vital role in Beata's success.

In her current life, Beata had only seen two of the books. Moreover, even with just these two books, Beata is already very talented and is indeed gifted. Even before entering university, Flora White, a famous perfumer, chose her as a student. Sometimes, when she went to another country to participate in exhibitions and buy perfume ingredients, she would give some to Beata.

Beata stood at the door and saw Lucia carefully packing the ancient books into a special box with a password lock, preparing to move. She immediately felt anxious because she felt she could never study the books again.

"Lucia, it's all my fault, and I'm sorry. Do I have to kneel for you?" Beata knelt at the door, looked anxiously at Lucia, and added, "Please, as long as you can forgive me, I'll apologize as much as possible! I'm moving out of this house. And I'm not returning as long as you're still mad."

Helena, who saw Beata kneeling and apologizing to Lucia, felt depressed. She growled, "Lucia, Beata has knelt and apologized to you. What more do you want? Do you have to be so unreasonable?"
