Chapter 18 Nathaniel felt that way because he did not know anything that happened between Lily and
Rebirthi.
Lily shook her head. “I didn’t.”
“That’s great. Since you didn’t sign a contract with La Beauté, we can still fix things.
They’re just manipulating you. I’m already kind enough not to sue Rebirth for slandering us.”
With a sigh of relief, Nathaniel patted Lily’s arin. “Lily, you are too naive to understand the complexity
and filth of the business field. It’s all for your good. We don’t want you to get involved in this
complicated stuff.”
“Let Mel and I deal with this matter for you. Now you can focus on producing perfumes. Don’t you love
making new scents? Wouldn’t it be great to do what you love?”

anything in return. Even now, they only wanted her to take the blame for everything. Still, they plausibly
said everything was for her good. Suppose she admitted that she stole formulas and wanted job
hopping now. She would be humiliated and could never continue in this industry for the rest of her life.
Nathaniel told Lily to do that because he wanted to protect MN Inc. and Melanie’s reputation and to
destroy Lily’s. If that happened, Lily would have no choice but to listen to Nathaniel no matter what.
It was all too good to be true! How calculative was he?!
“Is it possible for MN Inc. to recover as long as I admit my mistake? You won’t blame me, would you?”
Lily asked Nathaniel with a nervous expression on her face.
Nathaniel was satisfied. That was the Lily he knew all too well. She had always cared about his feelings
the most, so how could she betray him?
“Don’t worry. I know someone capable has influenced you, so you aren’t to blame. We should blame
those who are sinister and intentional,” Nathaniel said warmly while gently hugging Lily’s shoulders.
“It’s okay, don’t be afraid. Mel and I will accompany you during the press conference. It will be all right.
We’re here for you!”
Lily nodded, enduring the disgust and resentment in her heart. “I’ll let you guys handle it.” Melanie
looked at them with jealousy, wishing to pull them apart immediately. It was more important to look at
the bigger picture now, so she needed to bear with it for the time being.
When Lily left the office, Melanie finally released all her pent-up anger. “Are you fascinated by her?!
How could you believe everything she says?! Did you believe that Rebirth was the one who
manipulated her? How could they know our relationship? Why would they tell her?”
“It’s hard to say whether it’s Rebirth who told her about us, but she’s suspicious for sure.” Nathaniel
picked up the box of cigarettes on the table and took one out of it.

He lit it and smoked, narrowing his eyes. “It doesn’t matter. The most important thing now is to let the
issue cool down.”
“Hmph!” Melanie sneered and said, “Will she do as you say? Don’t forget how eloquent she was last
night and how she dominated the scene. Aren’t you afraid she will do it again during the press
conference?” Although Melanie thought Lily was a fool, she still felt something was off about the
situation. “She doesn’t dare!” Nathaniel shook his head, exhaling smoke. After a pause, he continued,
“Even if she does, I have countermeasures. Still, she is not that intelligent. What happened yesterday
may just be a misunderstanding.”
