Chapter 124
Chapter 124
In the living room, as Leopold settled onto the couch, his eyes fell upon a sealed glass bottle resting on the coffee table.
“What’s this?” he asked, his curiosity piqued, as he picked it up.
“Hands off,” Vivienne warned, reaching out to reclaim it. It was the concentrated Tranquil Aroma perfume essence, too potent to touch the skin directly.
But Leopold, known for his mischief, quickly hid the bottle, flashing a sly grin. His eyes darted between Percival and Vivienne, and he teased, “Let me guess, is it something naughty, like a slippery massage oil…”
Vivienne had initially ignored his jesting, but from the corner of her eye, she saw Cecilia, who had been pursuing Stella, returning alone. She attempted to retrieve the bottle from Leopold. With a swift move, Leopold evaded her, accidentally tossing the Tranquil Aroma perfume out
of his hands. It landed with a crash at Cecilia’s feet.
Instantly, the strong fragrance filled the entire apartment, making it difficult for everyone to breathe comfortably.
Cecilia hesitated for a moment, then disregarded it, stepping over the broken glass and storming in, her voice accusing, “How could you… Achoo! Stella, she… Achoo! You… Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!”
Before she could finish her sentence, the overpowering scent triggered five consecutive sneezes, leaving her eyes moist and red.
Vivienne, feeling an unexpected pang of guilt, glared at Leopold and handed Cecilia a few
