The call connected quickly as if Nathaniel had been expecting it. "Mr. Lodge, how are they? Are you satisfied with the gifts I gave you?""Of course, I'm satisfied. Haha!" Henry laughed, "However, I'm curious, how did you get these things?""We're in a modern society where everyone is a businessman with no secrets. Just be attentive, investigate, and observe more. It’s easy. You returned far too hastily. If you came prepared, it's not hard to find."While bolstering Henry's confidence, Nathaniel deftly avoided discussing where he found the information.Henry, his face beaming, was struck by these words. "Great! Let's be friends. Wait till I take them down. In the future, your problem will be my problem."Nathaniel let out a soft chuckle, anticipating the arrogant response. "Then I'll wait for your good news.""Wait a minute, who have you given this information to besides me?" Suddenly, Henry recalled something, and he asked again.Nathaniel paused. "Mr. Lodge, please rest assure
"What's wrong?" Although Alexander looked calm, his expression showed relief after seeing that Lily was safe and sound. "Are you all right?"Lily shook her head, "I accidentally spilled something.""It doesn't matter as long as you are fine." Alexander glanced at the spilled liquid and said to the person waiting for orders at the door, "Call someone to clean up, and be careful."After a pause, he looked at Lily again. "Is there anything you need to take away before they clean this up?""Here." Lily held two small bottles in her hands, which seemed ready."Can we go then?"Lily nodded. She was already tired. After all, they had suffered all day, and experimenting for a long time was exhausting.The branch manager never expected Mr. Russell to come here. He neither inspected nor wanted them to report their work—instead, he only used the laboratory and left."If you don't like it, we don’t have to go back to the Lodge family residence today," Alexander said when he got into the car.They
“Okay.” Lily deepened her smile as she looked at her phone. It was irony mixed with a bit of sadness.This matter will soon have a conclusion. Then Lily's grandfather would be buried in peace. Everything should have an end, but ultimately, it was a matter of the Lodge family. It was impossible not to be sentimental as they were all from the Lodge family.The back of Lily’s hand felt warm. She looked down and noticed a big warm hand holding her petite hand. Alexander whispered, "Let's end this quickly. I'm sure that your grandfather also doesn't want to see the Lodge family tearing themselves apart."Yeah." Lily closed her eyes as she leaned on her husband. She needed a good rest as she knew there would be a disastrous situation when she got home....Soon the car drove back with the lobby brightly lit, but it did not feel welcoming. Instead, it made one feel indifferent.Lily and Alexander walked side by side into the house. Jonathan sat right in the middle. He raised his eyes and glan
“You’re right. I'm a suspect, but I'm not afraid to be investigated.” Lily looked at Jonathan with a faint smile and continued, "Besides, when it comes to suspects, everybody in this family has a possibility of being the culprit.“Since you oversee our family affairs and are willing to seek justice for my grandfather, so does a thorough investigation. Remember that the three-day due date will come soon. Tomorrow, you have to give me a satisfactory answer."Jonathan was shocked by Lily’s imposing manner and took a while to react. No, she was most suspicious and should be the first to interrogate, but how could he be the one who owed her an explanation?"Lily! Stop quibbling. My reason for not making a big deal of this matter is entirely for the Lodge family's pride. Now that you’ve spread the news and let everyone know about it. What is your intention?!"Jonathan knocked his cane heavily on the floor, making a loud banging sound. "You want an explanation?! Fine. You don't have to wait f
Alexander was at a loss at her silence, "Did my words make you unhappy?"“Why do you say so?" Lily hugged his waist and pressed her face to his chest, "Thank you."Then she said, “Thank you for appearing in my life. Thank you for protecting me, pampering me, and walking with me all the way. Thank you for always having my back without hesitation and always fighting by my side. “"Silly!" Gently rubbing her head, Alexander hugged her back, "They don't want to let the news get out, and they’re afraid that the police’s intervention will complicate things. They won’t be able to control it well.""If the police got involved and the son truly murdered his father, this news would be enough to make the Lodge family lose their reputation," Lily smiled bitterly, "That’s why Justin also decided against calling the police.""What about you?" He lowered his head and asked, "The public only knows the news of your grandfather's death. The inside story is neither known nor reported. You don't plan
Last month, Derrick said he would be traveling for business. He was away for several days and had just returned. Was he gone again already? He had been going back and forth so frequently recently that Joseph had lost track of him. His current focus was on Damian, and he felt obligated to back him up. While Joseph still desired his mistress to join them, he had not made concrete plans for her. "Yes!" Arianna was surprised, "Didn't you know?" "How would I know? I haven’t seen him recently," Joseph lightly snorted, then asked, "By the way, do you know what Derrick has been busy with recently? Does the company have any major projects? Why is he always traveling?"The truth was that Joseph was entirely unsuitable for business. Despite his ambition, he was no match for Derrick in terms of capabilities. However, Benedict was Derrick’s only son and was not interested in doing business. Seeing there was hope, he wanted to take the Tanners’ property into his own hands so th
Arianna smiled and let go of her father’s arm. She picked up the glass on the table and took a sip. “Ah, that felt nice. By the way, dad, I've thought about the new project. It's not impossible to let Damian go. I'll find a way to talk to a few people and convince them to let him go. However, the person in charge earlier…” Before she could finish speaking, Joseph said impatiently, "I know. He’s called Nathaniel, right? I've been busy these days and haven't had time to ask you. Why did you invite him there? Do you know that he has a bad reputation? His previous company even went bankrupt."“I know. I wanted to understand the situation better, so I called him over. Ups and downs in the business field are inevitable, not to mention that he’s experienced and capable. He’s very familiar with the area. Well, let him be the deputy and help Damian a little bit. After all, I can't be by Damian's side all the time. What do you think?" She thought about it and made arrangements.After giv
"What? You gave him my seat?!" Nathaniel, who had just returned from out of town, heard the bad news once he entered the office."Why are you so anxious? It’s just a district manager position for that project. Is your vision that limited?" Arianna said coldly, anticipating his reaction."I've only been in this seat for a few days. What will others think of me if I give it up now? My dear sister, if you’re not even able to let me stay as the district manager, that means I’m nothing against that brat. Now I’m starting to doubt your ability." Pulling his tie, Nathaniel sneered. Arianna was not angry either. She replied calmly, "Don't you think this is a good opportunity to get rid of him?""What do you mean?" Nathaniel was still angry."Think about it. Why does Damian want to take this position?" Arianna revealed a mocking smile, "He wants to take credit! He knows very well that if he makes any achievements in the project, he will become a hero. Damian has my father’s support.“My
