Chapter 85
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Lily glanced at Nathaniel lazily. She had no interest in entertaining him and turned her attention back to her phone.
Nathaniel knew that she was deliberately ignoring them, so he changed the topic, âOver the past few days, Mel and I have seriously reflected on our relationship. We should not let our relationship problems affect work. We donât care whoâs the one to blame. After all, you have helped a lot before. We will no longer pursue this matter and will withdraw the lawsuit. You can do whatever you want in the future. Just let the matter pass, okay?â âWhat do you say, Mr. Hudson?â Lily ignored him and asked the lawyer beside her instead. James had kept his silence all this time. He sat on the sidelines as a listener and wrote something from time to time. When he heard Lily questioning him, he stopped and looked at her. âOf course not, Ms. Christian.â
âThis is a matter between us. There is no need for you to interfere!â Nateâs expression turned dark. He looked at Lily and said, âWhere did you find such an unprofessional lawyer? I think he is a fake and doesnât understand anything! He doesnât know whatâs good for you. You have no chance of winning in court. My offer is the best thing for you now!â âIs that so? Should I be thankful?â Lily sneered at Nathaniel and introduced James, âHe is Rebirthâs professional consultant and lawyer. Do you honestly think heâs a fake? What about you? You are a pathetic man who only knows how to steal othersâ
achievements and take them as his own!â
âHow dare you?!â Nateâs patience was wearing thin after Lily retorted to him like that. Feeling embarrassed, he said, âLily, you have gone too far!â âWho is the one who has gone too far? How dare you say I betrayed MN Inc.? How dare you ask me to let things go? I want to know why I should let things go. When have I betrayed MN Inc.? Over the years, I spent so much time in the lab doing numerous experiments and even traveled around to get the best raw ingredients.
âMN Inc. greatly benefited from my fruits of labor. I would love to know how much you two have benefited from me. I want you to tell me what I did to betray MN Inc.â
âY-You, Iâ¦â Nate was unable to answer her accusation and stuttered to reply.
âIâm also disgusted by the companyâs name. I worked to the bone while you two ripped the benefits and credits! Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up.â Lily continued with a snort.
âMind your words, Lily!â Melanie felt angered by Lilyâs words. âWhat I say is not as dirty as what you did! Letâs go, Mr. Hudson! This place stinks. I donât want to stay here any longer.â Lily sneered at Melanie, picked up her bag, and planned to leave.
âWait a minute! I didnât ask you out to argue. Canât we reconcile?â Nathaniel got up and grabbed Lilyâs wrist when he saw her leaving. After all, he had not achieved his purpose of meeting her.
âNo!â Lily stared at him coldly and slowly looked down at Nathanielâs hand holding her. âCan you at least tell me if there is really a problem with the formula?â Nathaniel gritted his teeth and asked in hesitation. He was very nervous and worried. If all the formulas had a problem, it would not just affect this batch. It would affect everything, including MN Inc.âs future. Therefore, he had to ask clearly, even if it meant losing face.
Lily raised her head and looked at him. Nathanielâs once loving face toward Lily was now riddled with anxiety, looking incredibly pathetic. Lily wondered why she even fell for him in the first place. âHavenât you already figured it out?â.
