Chapter 534: Rooted in their spots with their eyes fixated on the direction Silver Fox had disappeared, Araceli and Franco remained uncertain if Elin would suddenly return.
A little over a minute later, Araceli and Franco finally decided that Elin wouldn't be coming back and withdrew their gazes.

I would advise you not to place your trust in her." Unconvinced, Araceli frowned slightly and muttered, "How can Elin, one of the master perfumers of Minty Fragrances and Perfumes, be unreliable?" Curling his lips in disdain, Franco asked with a raised eyebrow, "Do you really believe that she's Elin? I mean, we don't know what the real Elin looks like. What if this woman is just spewing lies?" Hearing this, Araceli shook her head and said, "There's no way she's a fake. Tiffany was the one who introduced Elin to me. I'm very certain that she wouldn't deceive me." Franco snorted again and said disdainfully, “The fact that Tiffany was the one who introduced her to you is enough reason to believe that she's not reliable in the slightest." Slightly annoyed, Araceli asked, "Why are you so against Tiffany? Why do you believe so strongly that she's up to no good? She's one of the most excellent and kind people that I've ever cacross. The moment you open your eyes to judge her without any bias, you'll also see that she's a wonderful individual." Franco shook his head sadly and lamented, "Tiffany has indeed used her lies to put you under her spell. But then, who can blyou? You studied abroad, and therefore you aren't aware of who Tiffany really is. She is nothing short of the biggest joke in Blebert and is notoriously unreliable!" However, Araceli refused to agree. Shaking her head, she said, "Definitely, you are only saying all of this about Tiffany because there's either a deep misunderstanding between you and her, or you have been listening to people who most likely want to deliberately frher and ruin her reputation! Irrespective of your opinion of her, I will unconditionally place my trust in her!" After saying this, Araceli pointed to Rita, who was standing nearby, and said, "You saw how Rita interacted with Elin, right? Why don't you ask her?" The moment Franco heard Rita's name, his expression softened. After pursing his lips for a moment, he looked at Rita and asked, "Tell me, Rita, is that woman a scammer or what?" "Well, Miss Swain is quite an amazing individual. If I were you, I wouldn't underestimate her or offend her, that is if you don't wish to suffer greatly," Rita replied expressionlessly.
With that, she turned around and walked straight to the administrative office.
Franco opened his mouth to say something, but no words cout. With a proud smile on her face, Araceli faced Franco and said, "Surely, you wouldn't doubt Rita as you are doubting me, right? I mean, don't tellyou still don't believeeven after Rita has backed me." Gritting his teeth slightly, Franco still refused to believe it. As someone who found it hard to believe anything outside of what he had seen or heard, he couldn't bring himself to change his opinion of Tiffany, which was based on her terrible past.
Though he still disagreed with Araceli, he decided to drop the matter since he knew he wasn't going to be able to change her mind.
"Whatever," he said with a shrug.
With that, he chased after Rita, leaving Araceli behind. When he reached the administrative office, he saw Rita already sitting at the computer, obviously ready to begin her work for the day.

Opening the computer, Rita replied casually, "She was unable to sleep well last night, so she has to sleep in today." "You're tellingshe's sleeping?" Franco asked, widening his eyes in disbelief.
He remembered very well that Silver Fox had just said that Tiffany had told Rita to prepare a large bag of popcorn that would be eaten while she was enjoying sentertainment, and he began to grit his teeth in anger again.
Shaking his head, he muttered, "She is straight up the most unreliable person I've ever cacross. How on earth can she insist on staying in the Collaborative Research and Development Department to work while she asks her nanny to substitute in for her every day and she heads out to eat, drink, and have fun?" Franco sighed helplessly.
However, Rita had already begun to type away on the computer anddidn't even bother to look at him or give him a reply. After standing still for a while and feeling increasingly bored, he turned around and left.
In Connor's office, after Marissa finished massaging Silver Fox, she or returned to Connor and quickly made room on his desk. Unaware that she was clearing this space to put snacks, Connor simply let her do what she wanted without asking any questions. Then, about two minutes later, Domenic ushered Silver Fox into Connor's office
