Nathaniel took the lead in turning the microphone to his side to strike preemptively, “Of course, it’s not considered stealing. In any case, Lily is a member of our company. She has worked as Ms. Thayer’s assistant and has participated in creating fragrances to some extent for many years. “I don’t want to define it as stealing or plagiarism this time because it sounds atrocious. I can only say that in this society, in our industry, it is understandable that we can’t control everything. We are willing to give Lily a chance, and we hope MN Inc. can bring us better compositions in the future. ” Nathaniel had some experience socializing and dealing with the media over the years. His remarks were neither humble nor arrogant, snobby but sincere. He understood and protected the employees who betrayed his company. The reporters felt moved while casting a contemptuous look toward Lily. The current situation was apparent. It was clear that Lily was unwilling to be an assistant and then stole the company’s results and resold themto other companies. She wanted to seek refuge but never expected to fail. The situation had already gone off the beam, but MN Inc. was still willing to protect her

However, a small numb er of people also noti ced certain loopholes. A reporter stood up to ask a question, “Lily said before that she is not an employee of y our company andhas not signed a contract. ” Others assumed Nathaniel had considered this is sue before, so he calmly said smilingly, “Yes, I admit that it was the company’s omission. Of course, it’s not that we didn’t want to sign the contract. However, if you didn’t know, Lily and I are university classmates. We are all friends, so w e didn’t think about the contract so thoroughly. “I also transf er her salary d irectly to her. I admit it is my mistake, and we have prepared a con tract with excellent terms. I bel ieve M N Inc. will have a brighter future after this misunderstanding!” The crowd gave warm applause shortly after. Nathaniel was secretly re lieved, and a satisfied s mile appeared on his face. The situation would have worsened if it were not for his quick response. He could not even wipe the sweat off his forehead before another reporter stood up and asked, “Ms. Christian, don’t you think you should make a public apology for this incident? Also, does the freshman know the realsto ry behind this? If they don’t know about it, what will you tell them? Is this considered fraud? Will the freshman sue y ou?” The reporters’ questions were getting increasingly intense, and their gazes toward Lily were particularly piercing. Nathaniel wiped his forehead. “That’s…” Nathaniel was about to speak when Lily took the microphone away, he ld it in her hand, and stood up slowly. “Those are excellent questions

I’ll answer your first qu estion first. I don’t think I need to apologize becau se I don’t need to. ” Her voice was crys tal clear as she emphasized every word. Everyone present heard it, and the re was an uproar. After all, everyone agreed with what Nathaniel said before and even decided this was the case. The crowd despised Lily w hen she said she did not f eel the need to apologize. They even thought s he was refusing to admit her mistakes. “How shameless!” “How could she say such a thing!” “Exactly!” There was a slight commotion below the stage. Although the voices w ere quite soft, Lily could still hear them. Still, she did not ge t angry, and her chee ks did not even blush. She clenched the mi crophone and calmly scanned the crowd. “I’d like to chime i n on this. Firstly, ‘Fi rst Love ‘is my creation. My assistant and I to ok three months to fi ne-tune this product.
