"No, not many people know about it. I'm sorry for hiding this from you," Lily apologized sincerely.After staring at her for a while, Jenny waved her hand. "Fine, I'll forgive you!"She was not a petty person, not to mention that this was someone else's affair. It was up to Lily if she wanted to share it with Jenny."By the way, I've basically found all the information you wanted here. See if there's anything you can use. The company has been urging us. After all, once the research is successful, it'll be put into production immediately." Jenny instantly got down to business.Lily nodded as she listened. "I know. In fact, we're almost done. There's just one last step left. Once that succeeds, we can officially kickstart the production. Olivia, come and help me."Jokes aside, they were all very serious when it came to working.Before they knew it, the day had already passed. Just as Lily was about to leave, she noticed Alexander's car parked at the company's entrance."You're ear
‘That meant he gave the green light to use the photo? Is he aware that the shot was taken at an awkward angle that invites misinterpretation?’"Have you seen the photo?" Lily asked again. Alexander shook his head. Since he was so busy, he had simply said yes when his assistant came to ask and then did not follow up.He only knew that the newspapers and magazines had published the photo as gossip. Whenever he wanted to look it up, something would interrupt him, and he would forget about it. It was only now that he was reminded of it again. "Why? Did you see it? How is it? Do we look like a perfect match?" Alexander asked with great interest. Lily didn't know if she wanted to laugh or cry.'Perfect match?! We're so perfect that by only showing half of my body, you can tell we’re a couple!' "Look at it yourself," Lily said as she took out her phone and searched the Internet for the news before showing it to him. Alexander fell silent when he saw what was on the phone.His eyes narrow
Upon entering the house, Lily was about to change out of her shoes when Alexander unexpectedly crouched down and helped her.Lily was startled and subconsciously retracted her feet. "What are you doing?" "Let me help you with your shoes," he raised his head and answered naturally. However, there was nothing natural about this, and Lily felt highly uncomfortable. "It's fine. I can do it myself!"Then, she quickly changed out of her shoes, feeling the pressure from behind her. Looking back, she saw Brandon and the woman at the door. The woman's gaze was almost murderous. If looks could kill, Lily would have been dead. The uncomfortable feeling in Lily grew as she frowned slightly. Then, she put on her slippers and got herself a water bottle."Come in," Alexander ushered casually.Only then did Lily notice that the servants that usually left after cleaning were still there. 'What’s Alex planning?'One of the servants quickly brought over a pot of tea, but only with two cups. They were
Lily raised her brows when she saw this and noticed Alexander calmly pulling his legs away from her."Another woman?" Alexander turned his head to look at Lily. "Did you mean her?"After being put in the spotlight, Lily felt a little uncomfortable and shot him an angry look, which he then laughed at.The interaction between the two seemed natural, and anyone could easily see the chemistry between them in the room. Brittany was fuming when she saw this. After all, she and Alexander had known each other for more than ten years.Even after so long, Brittany had never seen him look at her that way. How he smiled dotingly at Lily was something Brittany would die for. Yet, Alexander had never looked at her that way. However, this woman managed to make him smile at her like that. 'Why?! Why?!'Today was the first time Brittany found out who the mysterious woman was and what she looked like. The woman she fought with was just an imposter. Brittany was depressed even just thinking about it
“Brittany? Brittany!” Although Brandon wanted to chase after her, he was still worried about Alexander. After all, he came here intending to apologize to Alexander properly and to prevent tension between the two families.Two days ago, Brittany came home sobbing. Initially, her parents were furious when they discovered that someone had beaten her, and they wanted to avenge her. Later, they felt a little apprehensive when they discovered that she got beaten because she was looking for Alexander's fiancee, and Brittany was the first to strike.After all, they knew what kind of person Alexander was. They could still seek justice if Brittany were the only one who got hurt. However, their daughter had taken the initiative to provoke the other person, and they had no idea if the other person was hurt, putting Brittany’s parents in a sticky situation.After much deliberation, they decided to let Brandon take Brittany along to apologize and clear up this matter. After all, if the two childr
The Russells were prosperous and prominent compared to other families. There were many descendants from Alexander’s father’s generation. Alexander’s grandmother was still around but was old and could no longer manage family matters.Alexander was responsible for deciding the family’s big and small matters. In other words, his uncles, aunts, and other family members needed to listen to him on the Russell family’s matters.However, Lily did not know he had any siblings, so she wondered why Brandon suddenly addressed Alexander as “Fourth Russell.”Alexander gently patted Lily’s head, “That’s because I am the fourth child.”“Huh?” Lily was surprised, “How did I not know about this?”“Members of the Russell family can’t mention this matter, so not many outsiders know. However, those who know no longer mention it since many years have passed. We’ve gradually forgotten about it, too,” Alexander said nonchalantly.Life came and went. One would meet many people and forget many more in one
”Of course you’ll be by my side. Could it be that you want to run away?!” He chuckled, “You can’t run away even if you want to. Have you gotten lazy? I heard the Southbank soap's progress is nearing its end. Is that right?”Lily knew he wanted to change the topic but did not expose his intent. She went along with him, “How could there be a boss like you who demands his staff to continue working after hours? I’ll go on strike if you keep pressuring me!”“You won’t. You still have to make essential oil for your grandfather.” Alexander smiled and continued, “Southbank soap is a new attempt. There should be more new projects if the results are promising. It’ll be easier for us to open up the Westwood market.” He was a businessman who had a long-term vision. Lily did not know much about business matters, but she knew how to make perfume and understood it well. Therefore, she knew expanding to the international market was not easy.“This is the same as any ordinary soap. However, the
”If that’s the case, why are we even having this conversation?” He sneered, a rhetorical question as he clearly knew the answer.Arianna’s expression remained calm as she looked at his depressed appearance. She smiled ironically, “I can’t turn back time, but I can help you make a comeback! The company cannot be saved, but you can start over!”“What an easy thing to say. Start over!” He laughed.He shook his head and said, “Did you know how difficult it was for me to start the company? I started from nothing, and gradually, it became what it is today. Every table, every chair, and every bit of everything was my blood and sweat. Start over? I have nothing to start over now!”“That’s why I’m here to help you!” Arianna faced him with her hands on her back. She looked like a princess, devoid of any dust and dirt.“You’re here to help me?” He opened his eyes to look at her and smiled mockingly, “Forget it! Your life in the Tanner family is not as good as it seemed. What do you have that
