“I…” Nathaniel almost blurted something, but a thought hit him. “Why should I admit that? I’ve never done such things, so how could I admit them? Olivia, don’t spout nonsense just because you have Lily’s support now. I did nothing wrong, so I’m not afraid of anything!” Then, Nathaniel hung up.‘Thank God I came back to my senses quickly. It’d be over for me if she were recording the call earlier,’ he thought, rubbing his chest. He felt relieved and proud of himself that he did not give Olivia a chance to get any evidence. On the other hand, Olivia was frustrated because he had hung up the call. She was so close to getting him to admit to his faults. If she could get the recording and post it online, that would be the best evidence for this case. However, he had stopped talking at the most crucial moment, refusing to answer her question directly, no matter what. ‘I can’t get any solid proof if he doesn’t admit to the questions. He’s a careful one!’“I told you he won’t get foole
Nathaniel broke out in a cold sweat in his office as he stared at his monitor intensely. He never imagined that Lily would have such a trick up her sleeve. He did not expect Olivia to have a record of the research data either. “No! I can still turn this around!” Nathaniel stumbled to his feet. He remembered getting Melanie to rewrite a copy of the notes when they wanted to sue Lily back then. It could serve as evidence for him this time around.After digging around the entire room, he found the new notebook buried deep in one of the drawers. He put it on the table, preparing to take a picture of it, but he froze abruptly. Nathaniel had forgotten an important detail. When Lily left, she left problems behind for him, too, because part of the records was incorrect. They were not glaring mistakes, so Melanie copied everything without making corrections since it was impossible for her to find them in the thick books. If he published the notes he had now, netizens might find those mis
The way things moved proved that Nathaniel won his bet, and not everyone was criticizing him anymore. Some netizens had even started to defend him.“If Lily did create the past MN Inc. products, why didn’t she say anything before this? Lily had to choose this time, where MN Inc. was in trouble, didn’t she? I bet she is just jealous! She will destroy Nathaniel because he doesn’t love her back.”“Mr. Hall said he was not guilty of anything and has never slandered Lily or Melanie even after so many things had happened. Regardless of who his girlfriend was or if he loved them both, he had a peaceful breakup with the two.However, look at Lily. She job-hopped to Rebirth right after leaving MN Inc. and immediately started causing problems for her past employer. It doesn’t matter if Nathaniel is her ex-boyfriend or the man she is fascinated with. Lily shouldn’t condemn him this way. All I can say is that she’s such a petty woman.”Olivia kept a close eye on the matter, which made her furi
Maybe it was Lily’s instinct. Although the person did not get down from their car, Lily sensed something unusual. She turned to look into the adjacent car and saw Justin sitting in the backseat, motioning for her to go over with his finger.She was rendered speechless but got into his car without a word. After looking at Justin, she averted her gaze to her red Porsche and asked, “How did you know that’s my car?”“You’ve been pretty busy lately,” Justin said profoundly, ignoring her question.“Kinda. I’m sure you’ve heard about everything.” Lily nodded. Since Justin knew which car belonged to her in this massive parking lot, Lily was confident he had heard about the recent commotion on the Internet.“I don’t remember you being this high-key in the past,” Justin said, and this time, he turned to look at Lily.“It might be because the Lodge family has influenced me, or I’m just looking for a style change.” Lily lowered her head, brushed out the folds on her shirt, and tugged it when
Alexander was not home when Lily arrived. She went to wash up, changed into her home clothes, and made herself a cup of hot cocoa before taking a seat to open the folder Justin had given her earlier.He said it was some information she might need, but she did not ask him to search for anything, so she had no idea what it was about. After taking the papers out, Lily glanced at them and caught sight of Nathaniel's name. ‘It’s about him?’Once she scanned the documents, she was surprised to find that it was the result of an investigation into Nathaniel’s background, where the most crucial part was his relationship with his mother.The document had detailed information about Eloise. Everything from her identity to her current status, and even facts like Eloise introducing Frank to Nathaniel. The last page had the most critical information, however. It was the DNA test of Nathaniel and his mother.This information astonished Lily. She knew nothing about Nathaniel’s family, even though t
She fiddled with the doll with her fingers, sighed, and said, "Tell me, where did that young man go?"Across her, the wooden doll stared back with a smile. …Nathaniel called Eloise as soon as he got home, but both of his calls were declined. Seeing this, he assumed that it must be inconvenient for her to pick up his calls, so he dared not to call again. However, he was too agitated to sit still and turned on his computer to look at that day’s sales data and check the situation online. He saw that the sales were still declining, and although the rate of product returns had decreased, there were still many applications for it. Nathaniel had already released a statement, so he could not retract it. Now, the only matter he could focus on was to deliberately slow down the after-sales process and try to minimize the losses while he rebuilds his reputation. At the same time, new staff were being recruited to speed up the processes in the laboratory. Nathaniel planned to launch a few new
"About that…" After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "I didn't aggravate her. She's the one who made things difficult for me. Now that the public has stated their opinion, sympathy is useless. Everyone believes Lily. If the product return rate continues like this every day, it's over for our company.""You…" She was so angry that she could barely stand up. Eloise did not speak. Instead, the sound of footsteps was heard from her end. She was probably looking for a convenient place to talk, and once she found it, she glowered, "She played no role in the plan I gave you! You know exactly what forces are behind her, yet you continue to provoke her. Aren't you just courting death?!""No, I told you. I didn't do anything. She started it first. No matter how pitiful I try to be now, no one would believe me!" Nathaniel felt helpless. Eloise snorted coldly. "I don't think you have to pretend to be pitiful. You're already an id*ot!" Nathaniel was speechless. Then, Eloise said, "Okay,
"Tell us! What did you buy?""That's a big piece of furniture!"Many colleagues gathered around curiously, and some even leaned in to look inside. However, the box was so tightly sealed that all they saw were wooden boards. "I didn't buy it!" Lily shook her head and put one hand on the wooden box. "Did the security say anything else about who had sent it?"Her colleagues all shook their heads and said that they did not know. Tapping her fingers on the wooden frame, Lily not only wondered who sent it but also how to open it. Who knew what was inside this enormous box? Could it be that she had been in the limelight too much recently and someone sent her something to retaliate? When this thought flashed through her mind, she abruptly pulled her hand back as if she was afraid something inside the box would bite her."Wow, this box is huge!" Olivia rushed over with pancakes in her hands. "What's inside?"Lily looked at her and casually said, "A bomb!"Olivia instantly jumped back. Fortun
