When Alexander noticed the change in her face, he understood it might be a sensitive topic and immediately said, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to." Lily was grateful for how considerate he was. His thoughtfulness had shown in the past few days that they spent together, and she allowed herself to let her guard down completely.Now that she thought about it, Nathaniel had never shared his life before, and it was the same for her. Although the two of them had been together for so long, there was no proper bond between them. They hid secrets from each other while having their walls up. Therefore, it was inevitable that they became what they are now."I've never told you about my family," Lily said as she warmly took his hand and led him to the sofa.Seeing how gentle she was, Alexander quickly quieted down and took her hand, nodding slightly. “Yes." "I was born in Brown City," she said slowly. "I'm from the Lodge family of Brown City.""The Lodge family?""

However, his dreams were about to come crashing down.Nathaniel had never imagined that instead of being greeted by a doubling in sales or profit, he would get shot down, bullet after bullet.At 9:00 AM, a famous verified account posted three videos. The first video was nothing serious. It was a financial interview that Nathaniel did a long time ago. In the video, he proudly talked about his perfume with his head held high.He told the host about his optimistic view on the prospects of the perfume industry and lamented the lack of top-tier perfumers in this country. He also emphasized developing and researching new products, stating that perfumers could discuss with him whenever they have a new idea.Nathaniel mentioned that if the perfumers were keen to proceed with their fragrance, he would personally supervise the development and preparation of the perfume throughout the entire process. Before he ended, he also brought up the difficulty of being a perfumer in this time and space

Lily once had too much alcohol when hanging out with Jenny and Olivia, and since then, she did not allow herself to get drunk again. So, right now, she only drank sparingly."Why wouldn’t you have a drink on such a happy occasion?!" Olivia reached out to take Lily's glass. "Have a drink! I'll send you back if you're drunk.""Forget it. I'd rather rely on myself." Lily barely reached the door the last time Olivia sent her home, but fortunately, she bumped into Alexander.Olivia immediately knew what Lily meant and explained, "It'll be different this time! If I can't get in this time, I'll call someone to get you."Jenny, who stood aside listening, shook her head and intervened. "Stop trying to get her to drink. It's not a good thing, you know? Right, Lily, I'm curious. What were you waiting for? I'm sure you didn't collect all these pieces of evidence today; why did you have to wait until now before publishing it?"Was it so that sc*mbag would have a few days of pride, only for him

The temperature dropped every day until it started snowing at night. Since it did not snow very often in Sapphine City, when it did, it only covered a thin layer on the tree and melted before more snow could build up.Heading toward Brown City, the scenery along the way changed visibly. Snowfall in Sapphine was more akin to sleet fall. It was a rain that contained some ice and looked like crystal droplets.Brown City was different. The further you went toward Brown City, the heavier the snowfall. It was not tiny droplets but large snowflakes. The snow on the ground also grew thicker. By the time they got to the Lodge house, the snow by the road was already ankle-deep.“Sapphine City is not far from Brown City. I didn’t expect such a big difference. It snowed heavily here.” Lily got out of the car and reached out to catch a snowflake. She was soon covered in a layer of snow stuck to her head, shoulder, and palm that did not melt away immediately. It had been years since she last saw

Lily watched Alexander until he disappeared from her sight. Only then did she get out of the car. She saw Justin looking straight at her and seemed to be waiting for her.She just realized that something was not right. Lily had already shown her face, and the servant had already sent a message. Therefore, it was impossible no one in the family knew she was here. How come there were no servants when she got out of the car?It seemed like Justin had deliberately arranged it to prevent commotion. She had nothing to hide now that she was back. She gathered up her clothes and walked over to him. Justin looked at his cousin in front of him and said, “You’re finally back.”“I said before that I’ll be back.” Lily’s words implied that she would keep her promise.He lightly nodded and said, “Grandpa is waiting for you.”It was good to have him lead the way as he had cleared the way from other guests, preventing unnecessary trouble.“I know. Thank you for the information you previously prov
