Semua Bab Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Ignoring Nathaniel’s embarrassed expression, Frank gestured with three fingers, “Thirdly, what I dislike the most, is making friends." After speaking, Frank adjusted his jacket, stood up, and said, "I'll go get the bill. Enjoy your meal."That was a proper insult from Frank. Nathaniel was still full of hesitation earlier, trying to negotiate, but now he became furious. Considering their relationship, Nathaniel initially thought he could easily reach a consensus with Frank. Still, he did not expect Frank to be so callous and not give him any courtesy at all.‘Indeed, Frank is capable but does he think he’s the only great perfumer? He’s still far behind compared to the absolute top perfumers,’ Nathaniel downed his wine with this bitter thought in mind. Wanting to see if Frank had left, he turned around and saw a familiar figure. ‘Is that Lily?!’ He had almost forgotten she was here too. On the first day Melanie arrived, she ranted to him about it. Nathaniel squinted and saw Lily’s

Lily sat up and looked at Nathaniel with an amused expression. She questioned him patiently, "Mr. Hall, if I remember correctly, you've been telling people that Ms. Thayer created your company's perfumes. Then, how could I have done something to your formula? “Besides, since Ms. Thayer created the perfume, she could just make alterations. How could I possibly be able to do anything to your formula? How was this my revenge?" Nathaniel had expected her to react this way, so he lowered his voice, "Lily, there isn't anyone around, so could you drop the act? We all know what's the deal with the formula. I admit I've used you, and I'm sorry. Still, you've almost destroyed my company. Now that you've left for Rebirth and doing well there, I won't ask much of you. I hope we can forgive and forget. How about that?" This was already his most significant concession. He would not press charges on what Lily had done, and she should not continue to hold grudges against him for his past mis

Jenny lowered her voice and told Lily secretively, “I just witnessed a secret affair.”Lily looked at her with slight disapproval and shook her head, “I didn’t know you had such a hobby.”“What’s with that look? How could you just judge me like that? I was only noisy because it was somewhat related to you. Why else would I be interested if it was just some random person? Besides, they were quite unsightly!” Jenny reasoned heatedly.“What do you mean by 'related to me?’” Lily asked as she pointed to herself.“It involves your ex’s current girlfriend. So isn’t that somewhat related to you?” Lily did not even realize who Jenny was talking about, “Are you referring to Melanie?”Jenny nodded, “Do you have another ex I should know of?”“What did you see?” Lily was not exactly interested, but she felt like she had to ask as Jenny was excited about sharing this piece of gossip with her.“I stayed in the bathroom for a while since I had a tummy ache. While I was in there, I heard someone rushin

“How did you know that?” Lily smiled and took a seat opposite Alexander. Her hands supported her cheeks as she looked up at him. “Is there anything you don’t know?”Alexander slowly poured hot water from the kettle into the teacups while he said, “There are a lot of things I don’t know. For instance, when are you willing to make our relationship public?”His serious look made Lily chuckle. “Dear Mr. Russell, you’re known to be a low-key person. Would you want to announce our relationship to everyone?”“I only lie low for certain things.” He put a tea bag into Lily’s cup and slid it across the table toward her. “If it’s about our relationship, I want as many people to know about us as possible!” Alexander wanted to tell the entire world that Lily was the woman he loved and that she belonged to him. No one could ever take her away from him. The most they could do was just be envious.Lily lowered her gaze and reached for the cup handle. Happiness was filling her heart.“Oh, right. T

Nathaniel prohibited Melanie from working once they returned from Middle Valley, and she could no longer enter the lab. He claimed that the laboratory's chemicals were dangerous for the unborn child. Recently, he had been extremely attentive to her, attending to her every need.Frank parted ways with the two for the time being. Fortunately, he gave Melanie the formulas of two perfumes before he left. He said it was his latest research outcome and a reward for Melanie.Although Melanie had her initial misgivings about the formulas, she was pleasantly delighted by the outcomes when the lab made samples. She finally felt at ease and that everything she had done had been worthwhile.However, what Frank had given her was far from enough. She wanted more. It was just that the thought of him still made her tremble in fear. It was great for them to spend some time apart for now. Her body could recover while she used this time to think things through."What's on your mind?" Nathaniel asked
