“Ms. Christian, do you really have evidence, or are you making it up? Have you thought about the repercussions ifthis case goes to court?” Lily looked around calmly, facing the skeptical crowd. Her relaxed demeanor and mild aura quieted the noisy crowd. She parted her red lips slightly and exclaimed four words, “Bring on the lawsuit!” Lily was aware that leaving would not be an easy task, but shedid not expect Nathaniel to stop her in the alley. Did he not just go after Melanie? Why was he still here? Nathaniel’s face was gloomy, His hands were in the pockets ofhis trousers as he leaned against the wall. The fact that his entire body was concealed from the light added to his grim appearance, Lily’s steps were hesitant, and she did not want topay attention to him. Instead, she tried to turn around and leave in the opposite direction, but unexpectedly, someone blocked her path. It made sense why Nathaniel was whispering to some people before he left. Was he explaining this situation? If so, it was probably the first time he ever cared about her. Unable to get through, Lily simply walked up to Nathaniel and asked, “Is this a threat, Mr. Hall? Or a kidnapping?” Nathaniel straightened up and walked toward her. He did not lose his cool and yell, but his whole body was seething with rage. When his leather shoes hit the floor, they made a crisp, pounding sound

He instinctively glanced about and saw that there were no security cameras around. He was prepared and ha d picked a location tha t was hidden from view. How di screet of him. “Lily,” Natha niel called he r name softly. His voice was very light, but his words were h eavy,” What the hell are you doing?” “Aren’tyo u aware of what I’m doing?” She replied coldly. “Haven’t we agreed befo re?” Nathaniel found it hard to remain patient.

Do you think the others will treat you as su perior?” He continued angrily in a low voice , “The others are just using you as a gunman. Our company has recently e xperienced rapid growth, a nd the momentum is fierce. Peer competition is inten se, and many tactics are used to stifle opponents. You don’t u nderstand t his at all. Do you think they’ll treat y ou well if you don’t have an y accomplishments? If MN Inc. collapses, they’ll kick you out

” Nathani el had thought about it and always felt t hat it was Rebirth who started the issues. No one knew the conditions th ey offered Lily or what they s aid to her in the first place. It was u nethical , though. Lily was never the kind of person who prioritize d benefits over conduct. Could it be his affair with Melanie? Not likely! She would have questioned it and made a fuss if she had known. Lily looked at him with admiration. How could he tell so many lies without chang ing his expression? He was so sincere and th oughtful of her, but he did not blush at all. “Lily, st op being obsessive. Don’t you care about our relationship? Th ere should be limits. even if you throw a tant rum with me. If you keep acting this way, things will only get worse. ” Nathaniel raised his hand to ho ld her shoulder and continued, “Didsomeone from Rebirth contact you again? You…” “I’m the one who called them. ” Turning her head to glance at her shoulder, Lily gently broke free
