Lahat ng Kabanata ng Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Kabanata 271 - Kabanata 280

Nathaniel had thought about Lily when the news about his accident came out. Even his mother had gone to visit him. He knew there was no way Lily would not know about his accident. Still, she did not show up, and Melanie was the one who went to see him when the news first appeared on TV.Eloise only smirked coldly at her shameless son, “Visit you? If I were Lily, I’d have torn you to pieces after what you did to her. The nerve!”“Mother! Am I not your son?” Nathaniel snapped. How could she be siding with an outsider?“I’m saying this to you because you’re my son, or else why should I care?!” She finished. Eloise noticed the apparent change in her son’s facial expression, and her tone softened, “It’s not that I’m trying to reprimand you. I’m just trying to give you constructive criticism. I’ve met many people, and I know Melanie is unsuitable for you.”“Then what does this have to do with Lily? Is it because she’s a talented perfumer? I’m looking for a wife, not a perfumer. Besides,

It was getting late, and Eloise had said what she had to say, so she stood up and told Nathaniel, “All right, we'll talk about this after you’ve recovered from your injury. For now, you rest and get better.”After she finished talking and was about to leave, she thought of something and turned back again. “Right, forget about Melanie.”She meant what she said.Nathaniel did not say anything. Just like that, the ward quietened down again.The following day, Melanie brought some soup and buns she had bought to visit Nathaniel. After the car accident, it was like the two picked up where they had left off. They did not mention what happened before, as if things were back to “normal.”However, there was an apparent chasm between them. Melanie would bring him stuff and take care of him, while Nathaniel would not kick her out. Everything was peaceful. It was like the quiet before the storm.Melanie fed him breakfast, cleaned up the place, and helped him wash his face and hands. She woul

He gave a very understated account of the situation. Indeed, she triumphed brilliantly. He was nearly killed, and the bodyguards were battered so severely they could not stand. That was also why he would not just provoke or grab Lily. Obviously, he could not go around telling people about his embarrassing experience, but his mother's remarks yesterday helped him overcome his pride.If she were related to the Lodge family in Brown City in any way, everything would make sense. It would be no surprise that she excelled in kickboxing and also found it so simple to transition into Rebirth after leaving MN Inc. It made more sense if the Lodge family were her backers, and they helped her get in through their connections.Melanie did not know his thoughts, let alone Lily's relationship with the Lodge family. She was still coming to terms with the fact that Lily knew kickboxing. Besides feeling shocked, Melanie was angry and jealous. Not only was Lily skilled and talented in making perfume, b

Nathaniel forcefully pulled his hand from Melanie’s grip and sighed. “Forget it. Mel, we all know there’s no way for us to go back to the past. It’s impossible to start all over again!” He exclaimed. Then he lowered his eyes and looked at her belly. “I think we should forget about this child.”Those words caught Melanie off guard as she did not expect him to be so resolute about not having this child. He was someone that liked children, and he cared about their unborn child back then. Yet now, he was suggesting abortion. His words meant that he would break up with her.However, Melanie would not let that happen. Even if they were to break up, she thought she should be the one to bring it up, not him. What rights did he have? She had sacrificed so much for him, so many years of her youth. What rights did Nathaniel have to decide how their relationship moved forward?“Of course, but if you insist on keeping this child, I’ll be responsible for providing child support. However…” After a

Lily had no idea what was going on. “I’m sure Ms. Gray hasn’t told you yet. So, what’s happening is that the company has received an invitation to the perfumery competition, and the company has decided to send you as our representative,” George explained as he pushed a purple invitation letter toward her.Lily was shocked. “The biannual perfumery competition?” She was no stranger to this competition. This competition occurred every two years to select the best perfumers in the industry. As the competition aimed to find the finest young blood among perfumers, famous perfumes in the industry were not allowed to participate. Of course, rookies were allowed to participate in trying their luck if they thought they were skilled enough. Nevertheless, someone must refer them. Therefore, most participants were juniors or intermediate perfumers who wanted to win the attention of the elite perfumers and make a name for themselves in the industry.“Why me?” Lily questioned. She was new to
