‘I’m scared they’ll use my research for unknown purposes, and there’s no way to know what consequences it will lead to.’“Don’t be scared.” Alexander held Lily’s hand gently, trying to give her warmth and encouragement. “If you think there might be a problem and don’t wish to continue, then end the collaboration. No one can ever force you!”After experiencing an internal power struggle, La Beauté Group grew steadily under Alexander’s leadership, and its business empire became more diverse.As Alexander knew he should not put all his eggs into one basket, his company had not only involved itself in real estate, fashion, and entertainment but also branched out into new territories such as technology and medicine.Also, he was more visionary and had a more acute observation than others. That was what put La Beauté Group in the leading position throughout Kingsland. Therefore, he was not exaggerating when he said no one would dare to force his woman to do things against her wishes.H

Going straight over there, Lily saw a rather sizable boutique and walked in. Its interior design was quaint, and a mild scent of sandalwood filled the air. There were only a few customers and salespersons, and Lily started to check out the merchandise herself. Going around the aisles, she saw that most dresses were slim-fit and unsuitable, as they would make her bulging belly conspicuous. As she moved around the bend and was about to turn into the next aisle, a salesgirl approached her. “Would you like to buy a... dress?”The woman paused halfway when she saw what Lily was wearing. Those who came here to shop usually wore expensive clothes, and the dresses here were not cheap as they were of top quality in terms of materials and craftsmanship.For the past two years, wearing branded clothing has been fashionable. Those who did so felt superior to others and looked down on those who did not. Lily had always worn simple loungewear to better take care of her son. Even when s

The salesgirl watched as Lily took out a black and gold card. She had only seen that card once. At most, five people owned this card in all of Kingsland. Gosh! Who was this seemingly ordinary pregnant woman in front of her?Jane did not recognize the card. All she knew was that the dress couldn't be sold. So, she quickly explained, "Madam, I'm sorry, but this dress has been reserved. We can't sell it to you.""You can't sell it?" Lily raised her eyebrows, looking at the salesgirl bossing her around before this. "If you can't sell it, why did you take it out for me to see?""I'm sorry about that. Why don't you look at our other dresses? Some new dresses are equally as beautiful…"Jane apologized repeatedly, and Lily raised her hand to stop her. "This matter has nothing to do with you. She was the one who ordered this dress to be taken out. I even agreed to pay for it first before trying it on. Now, you're telling me that this isn't for sale? Is that how you run a business?"As sh

Lily remembered Alexander mentioning that name a few times before and how Secretary Rollins had a daughter whom he adored. He even invited Alexander to her birthday party the next month, and Alexander wanted to bring Lily along.At that time, Lily had just laughed it off. After all, why would a pregnant woman attend a little girl's birthday party? Moreover, she did not even know who Secretary Rollins's daughter was. Then Lily had forgotten about her, brushing it off as a joke.Still, it seemed like the person who reserved this dress was a big shot. However, that salesgirl did not have the right to name-drop like that."Oh?" Lily smiled at the salesgirl. "What does that have to do with me?""B-But…""All I know is that you recommended this dress, and I loved it. Now that I want to buy it, but you're telling me it's not for sale?" Lily took her phone and continued, "If that's the case, I think I should call your manager or any other high-ups of yours to check the rules of this bouti

However, it did not matter anymore. Lily planned to sit for another ten minutes, and if the man did not show up, she would not blame him for it. Instead, she would just let it slide."You're right, Mrs. Moore, but I still think that you shouldn't be too persistent on this," Jared said flatly as he patted her shoulder."Mr. Langston, you'll never understand how I feel. Although Tasia is my niece, I love her like my daughter. If it weren't because Mr. Fike doesn't practice anymore, I wouldn't have put my hopes in this young man."The woman let out a long, melancholic sigh."Don't worry too much. I'm sure Ms. Rollins will be fine!" After the man said this, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. It seemed that they had left. Lily glanced at the time and was about to leave when she heard a curious voice next to her. "Are you eavesdropping?!" The voice sounded interrogative and unfriendly. Lily was startled. When she snapped her head toward the direction of the voice, she saw
