Chapter 579
Connaughton Lane in Kingsland had always been notoriously lively at night. There were all sorts of bar
s with people from all walks of life.
However, few knew about a secluded alley a few miles away from Connaughton Lane. There were a fe
w bars, but there were not as many people. The people who went there were niche. Small shops cateri
ng to all sorts of hobbies were in that alley, allowing like–minded people to
meet.
However, because of the small crowd, the alley was also quiet. Few people were around, and only a fe

scattered around, with a group gathered in a small area, chatting in a low voice. The overall environme
nt and atmosphere seemed welcoming. However, this place looked nothing like a perfume shop.
“Is this your first time here, miss?” A waiter, wearing a simple long attire that looked like it was from anci
ent times, greeted her.
“Yeah,” Lily replied lightly. She assumed that they would remember their regulars.
“Would you like anything to drink?”
After looking around, Lily casually answered, “Orange juice, please.” She had promised Alexander she
would not drink alcohol, so that was her replacement.
“I’m sorry, but we don’t have that.” Lily did not expect the waiter to say this. She was stunned
for a moment as she stared at him. “What about mango juice? Coconut milkshake? Milk?”

“Just water,” the waiter replied with a slight smile.

“Admit defeat already. What did you even bring? This has no smell at all.”
“That’s right. I didn’t smell anything. I thought it was my nose!”
“Give in already. It’s really embarrassing for you to lose this way!” Lily heard the cries in unison.
When she turned her head over, she saw the girl that was surrounded by the crowd. The woman’s pale
