Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Nathaniel only returned to his office when he heard Damianâs footsteps storming away. He glanced at Arianna and said, âThatâs it? It seems like he isnât satisfied.â
âWell, we canât always win. If I listened to Damian, you wouldnât be satisfied.â Although Arianna seemed helpless, there was no hint of sadness on her face. Instead, there was even a slightly smug smile.
âAll right, enough with the act. That brat is so soft around you!â Nathaniel snorted disapprovingly. âNow, back to business. Iâll be off for a business trip soon. You need to keep an eye here.â
âAre you going to Sapphine?â she asked, raising her eyebrows.
âOf course. That town canât count us out.â
Then Ariannaâs smile dropped as she glanced at the candle Nathaniel had packed. âAre sure this will work?â
you âDonât worry about what Iâll do.â Nathaniel confidently patted his chest and said, âYouâd better not get involved. Henry will trust me enough and cooperate with me because I have a history with Lily. Once he enters the company, we will have the information we need. Then weâll easily get what we want with the Lodge familyâs power.â
Arianna wanted to hear this and happily responded, âThen, Iâll be waiting for your good news!
11 A day had passed. It was another quiet day for the Lodge family. There was no sense of precariousness that was about to occur. On the first day, Lily was vigilant, fearing that Henry might come knocking at her door. However, it had been a day, and he had yet to appear.
Jonathan had also been living in the Lodge family residence. However, he hardly left the house.
because of his old age.
âHoney, you havenât been to Sapphine a lot, have you?â Lily softly asked as she looked out the window.
Alexander, who was tying his tie in front of the mirror, casually answered, âYeah! Although La Beauté Group has a branch in Sapphine, the performance here has always been stable and well managed. I only check on them twice a year to review some accounts and leave. Iâve never stopped to linger around here.â
Now that he thought about it, he had not spent much time in Sapphine. Before Lily, he did not interact with the Lodge family much. He would just greet them out of courtesy.
âThatâs a pity. Sapphire is quite beautiful.â Then Lily turned to look at him and said, âWhy donât I take you out for a walk?â
When she looked at him again, he had already finished dressing. His dapper look caught Lily slightly off guard. Even after being together for so long, she would still be in awe of his looks from time to time.
Faced with Lilyâs stunned expression, Alexander chuckled. âOkay. I was thinking the same thing.â
Although he had agreed with the Lodge family not to go anywhere for the next three days, he meant Sapphine and not the Lodge familyâs residence. All the police could do was list the suspects, as the case was still ongoing. Everyone knew this was a calculated game.
The two were about to go out and get into the car, but someone stopped them at the entrance. âIâm sorry, Miss, you canât leave.â
âI canât leave?â Lily raised her eyebrow at the man she recognized as one of the Lodge familyâs trained disciples. âWhatâs going on? Am I a prisoner now?â
âNo, of course not! Itâs just that sir told me that youâre not allowed to leave the house for the next three days,â the man insisted with his head lowered.
Hearing this, Lily stared at him for a moment before turning around and raising her head to look upstairs.
Lily saw the curtains move on the second floor, but no one came out from behind them. Then she said smilingly, âI know there are rules that we abide by in the Lodge family residence, but itâs a crime to detain me like this. Iâm sure youâve heard of this.â
