After washing her hands and returning to the living room, Lily sat on the sofa to take a sip of water. She glanced at the tablet on the side, and after pausing, she picked it up and turned it on.Opening the Twitter interface, she lowered her head, put her knuckles against her lips, and focused on the breaking news. She did not bother reading too much due to her relationship with Alexander, but she knew it was probably about her, Nathaniel, and Melanie when they were back in college. The tweets were out of context, and the facts were far from the truth.However, she was more interested in the news source. It was neither from Nathaniel nor Melanie but rather from someone who misused the identity of a third-party bystander. These people were their college classmates or so-called mutual "friends."At first, Lily was a little angry, but her anger no longer raged after a second look. Instead, she just thought it was ridiculous. The people’s names only sounded familiar, and she could bare

After dinner, Lily got up to clear the dishes, but Alexander pulled her again. “I told you to stay put.” He frowned disapprovingly. “I forbid you from entering the kitchen again. You aren’t allowed to go in.”Lily felt helpless, "I used to cook by myself, so..."“That was before, but you’re not allowed to from now on!” Alexander neatly stacked the tableware and went to the kitchen. Soon, the sound of rushing water echoed as Lily walked over and leaned against the kitchen door frame to look at Alexander with his sleeves rolled up high, revealing his lean arms.His skin was particularly fair, but not like an unhealthy person’s. He looked strong and manly. Lily thought of Alexander’s hands tightly wrapping around her waist, and her body trembled instinctively.“Are you going to respond?” Alexander asked while washing the dishes. Lily was stunned as she did not fully catch what he said. “Huh? What?”“About those boring things on Twitter,” Alexander turned and glanced at Lily as he spo

“Let’s fight then,” Melanie said with disregard. “We have enough evidence since I’ve already copied all the information, and we have a professional legal team. Why should we be afraid of her?” Speaking of the information, Melanie lifted her hand and looked it over. “See? My hand is swollen and in pain! Why would I need to work so hard if it weren’t for her? Nate, we must ensure she doesn’t have the upper hand. You must teach her a lesson this time! How could she treat you like this?”Nathaniel pushed Melanie away when she leaned over, as he was not in the mood. He was not as optimistic as she was. “I keep feeling that she has a trick up her sleeve. Why else would she insist on going to court when she knows all the evidence is in my hands?”Melanie was stunned at his words but shook her head.“Impossible. You’re overthinking this. What trick could Lily have? We have the data, and the other employees are completely unfamiliar with her. I was right to do this back then. I told her

“Lily, what are you going to do?” Olivia turned to ask, “They’re slandering you like this. Even some of your college classmates joined in. I don't understand. They’re your classmates. Even if they are not your friends, they can't just spread nonsense like this!"“You can’t blame them. After all, I wasn't close to my classmates at that time. I’m afraid not many people know about Nathaniel and me.” Lily said lightly.She had to be objective about this matter. What's more, to be precise, she only got together with Nathaniel officially after she graduated and after Nathaniel confessed to her when she won her first award.Later, when she had the “incident,” Nathaniel never gave up on her. Maybe she felt touched and fell for him, or maybe it was something else. Lily and Nathaniel quickly warmed up their relationship. She was willing to stand on the sidelines, to be the woman behind him, just immersed in the laboratory day and night. There was nothing else in her life but him and work.At

The laboratories were generally a little farther from the city center. Firstly, they took up a large area, and it would be easier to find a suitable location in the suburbs since the price would be more affordable. Secondly, the employees should do the experiments without distractions. Furthermore, it was easier to source spices and raw materials in the suburbs.When Lily worked in MN Inc., its lab was also on the city’s outskirts. However, Nathaniel’s capital was limited, so he only rented half of an old factory building. He also used to complain when they had to purchase raw materials.Of course, Nathaniel would still be pleased with the finished product, and then he would talk about the future with Lily. Yes, after all, it was all just talk.Although the location Jenny had sent was remote, Lily could still get there by taxi. However, unlike what she expected, what awaited her was not just a factory but a whole tower. Although it looked pretty standard, it was unexpected to have s
