Lily smiled faintly and looked at Melanie. “Are you sure that’s what you want? Do you want me to let the cat out of thebag?” She was so calm, making Melanie feel flustered. What was Lily plotting? What did she want exactly? She had laid all the cards on the table and couldnot bear to back down. Melanie gritted her teeth and bravely replied, “Don’t make a fool of yourself, Lily. I’ve done nothing wrong. I can’t say I’m the most talented person in this industry, but I am undoubtedly one who works hard. Everyone knows how much I’ve done in this company over the past few years. You can’t just come up here and spew nonsense. ” “Melanie,” Nathaniel was on her side, gently squeezing herforearm. He turned to look at Lily again, cleared his throat, and said, “I apologize. The purpose of this press conference was to explain everything to the competition’s organizing committee, friends, and consumers who care aboutus. However, we did not make enough arrangements, nor did Ms. Christian have enough time to prepare mentally. We…” “Do you want evidence?” Lily interjected. Her four simple words immediately attracted the media’s attention to herself. She picked up her phone, saying, “Since everyone is asking for evidence, this is the most straightforward form

Here you go. ” “Excuse me, Ms. Christian, what is this evidence you’re talkin g about?” Someone asked. Things were becoming more exciting as th e tension increased.

Not only are you unwilling to ad mit your mistakes, but you are a lso confounding right and wrong. I’m sick and tired of your games, Lily. See you in court!” After sp eaking, Melanie threw the m icrophone, got up, and left. Such drama! Although the a rgument was intense, no one expected her to storm off. Not to mention the report ers present, Nathaniel wa s also quite taken aback

He instinctively reach ed out to grab Melanie but was a step behind. Everyone looked at Melanie’s back as she walked out, so it would be rude if Nathaniel stood up to chase her. Still, he could not completel y ignore this and had to apolo gize, “I’m so sorry, everyone. This will bring a n end to today’s press conference. Thank you for coming. ” He motion ed to get up and leave but angri ly glared at Lilybefore doing so. Then he turned sideways, said a few words to the people around him, and chased Melanie withoutlooking back. Meanwhile, Lily simply s tood there, facing many f lashes and pairs of eyes. She became the audien ce’s focus. Nathaniel had just left her there to f ace the media alone. She knew early on that he never car ed much about her. “ M s.
