Semua Bab Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Lily was nervous, and her hands hung on both sides of her body as she unconsciously grabbed the sheets underneath her. She had heard about this on TV and read it in novels but was apprehensive.Alexander attentively noticed her nervousness and looked at her tightly closed eyes, "If you're not ready, we can wait."Lily, trembling slightly, suddenly opened her eyes. She saw sincerity and respect in his eyes. The feeling of being cherished warmed her heart, and she shook her head and let go of Alexander’s hand. Then she raised her arm to wrap them around his neck. “I can do this! P-Please continue.”She was shocked. That familiar feeling made her realize something but would not be that coincidental. It was too late. Lily curled her legs, grabbed a pillow beside her, and covered her face. She wanted to dig a hole and hide.Alexander instantly reacted when he saw her actions. The burning flames in his eyes dimmed as he straightened up. He attempted to sigh but laughed instead. After a

The hotel served a wide selection of food for breakfast, and the two enjoyed it delightfully. The sunshine poured in through the window, creating serenity for them.“I’ll be going to the company office later. Let me give you a ride since Rebirth is on the way,” Alexander said slowly while spreading butter on a piece of toast.Lily took a sip of milk and shook her head hurriedly. “It’s fine. I’m planning to go to Rebirth later in the afternoon. Plus, didn’t we agree not to announce our…” Lily abruptly stopped talking when Alexander looked up at her. She was unable to finish the rest of her sentence.Alexander handed her the buttered toast and retracted his hand. “Don’t worry. I’m a man of my word. Only Rebirth’s management knows La Beauté Group has invited you to join the company. Edward was the one who communicated this matter to them, so they don’t know that…”Alexander raised his brow as his gaze swept Lily casually, but it made her heart skip. “You’re my wife.” After pausing for

“What nonsense could they have possibly told me?” Lily broke free from Nathaniel’s grip and approached Melanie. “I’m interested to know what you think they would tell me.”Under the scrutiny of Lily’s sharp gaze, Melanie averted hers. “How would I know what they told you? But I’m guessing they want to offer you a role even when they know you’re working with us. They probably bad-mouthed us and boasted about themselves. Lily…” After a slight pause, Melanie continued, looking like she had just remembered something. “Did they offer you a higher salary?”“Higher salary? What would you consider that to be?” Lily asked in return and blinked her eyes innocently as if she knew nothing about what Melanie had just mentioned.Melanie was disgusted by Lily’s act and thought, ‘Such an idiot. She doesn’t even know how to negotiate for a higher salary. How did she even connect to the people from Rebirth? There must be a mastermind who planned everything last night. Someone must’ve persuaded her to

"They said you’re an adulterer and that you guys worked together to take advantage of me!"Nathaniel's expression changed suddenly. "What nonsense are you spewing?!"On the contrary, Melanie, facing Lily, was stunned hearing that. Facing such a direct and strict accusation, she subconsciously felt guilty, and her eyes instinctively avoided it. After hearing Nathaniel's voice, she returned to her senses, "Yeah, how can you believe such words. It’s just slander!""Lily, the three of us have known each other for so long. Do you still need someone else to tell you about our relationship? How could you believe such a boring provocation? It's hurtful to us if you believe them."After a few words, Melanie's eyes were red as tears were about to fall. It looked like she was aggrieved.Lily was speechless with her act. She thought it was a pity Melanie was not an actress. However, if life was like a play that depended on acting, anyone could do that! Lily pursed her lips and drooped her

Lily went to the laboratory after leaving MN Inc., which was located far from the company. Lily and Olivia were mainly involved in research and development and would only mass-produce their latest products after proving their success rates.However, Nathaniel was usually eager for quick success and would rush for production, even though the product had yet to pass its tests. He would always jump the gun and launch newer products.He said that the market was ever-changing, and others would soon replace them if they did not seize their opportunities. Therefore, he thought it was necessary to push new products to capture the consumers’ attention.Lily disagreed with his aggressive marketing because she knew developing a new product would require a process of inspiration and experimentation. Newer products needed repeated tests to succeed, and they could not rush to release them.Although Lily disagreed, she could only make suggestions because she was not qualified enough. Nathaniel to
