Chapter 41
Nathaniel was not kidding. Soon, he put up a lawyer‘s letter on the company homepage in which he
threatened legal action against Lily, demanded an apology, and sought compensation for the
company‘s financial losses.
Not only was the letter posted on MN Inc.‘s website, but platforms such as Twitter and Reddit all had
the same statement. MN Inc. appeared to be taking this seriously.
Given that MN Inc. was taking such a firm stance while Rebirth was utterly silent, the public opinion
quickly became one–sided.
Although the press conference events were bewildering, and some people had begun to believe in
Lily‘s innocence, they soon changed their minds after reading MN Inc.‘s statement.

If Rebirth was innocent, why were they silent? Why did Lily fail to produce any favorable evidence?
Faced with MN Inc.‘s accusation, Lily maintained a low profile, but she answered by reposting MN
Inc.‘s statement and lawyer‘s letter with the caption, “Bring it on.”
The caption seemed understated but was filled with contempt as if she was not taking MN Inc.‘s threats
seriously. Her response quickly became viral and was even trending at one point. Typically, the
perfume industry was not particularly popular. Aside from new releases or celebrity endorsements,
cosmetics and fragrances hardly appear on the trending lists.
However, due to the scandal and the feud, their news was often trending on social media. Many online
users claimed never to have seen such outrageous plagiarism. Both sides refused to admit it, and both
maintained their innocence. It was challenging to discern the truth.
In contrast to the excitement of the gossiping internet users, Lily was composed. She was on her way
to the Rebirth office when she got a call from Olivia.
“Are you back from vacation?” Lily smiled lightly, but Olivia was anxious. “I saw the lawyer‘s letter from
MN Inc. How are you holding up? Do you need me to testify for you in court?” Lily burst out laughing,
“No need.” “You don‘t have to worry about me. Even if I don‘t speak up now, Nathaniel
won‘t tolerate me staying in the company, anyway,” Olivia said, understanding the situation very well.
Olivia had invented an excuse to go on vacation at the time. She switched off her mobile phone and
was using a separate personal phone instead. When Olivia eventually turned on her mobile phone
upon returning, she discovered a barrage of messages urging her to cancel her leave and return to
work. One can imagine how many missed calls she had received. Of course, Olivia could guess why
they wanted her to come back.
“It‘s not that I‘m afraid of implicating you, but I don‘t need it now.” After a pause, Lily continued, “Don‘t
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmworry. If I need your help, I‘ll let you know.”
Olivia could only nod, “Okay, then please take care.”
Olivia admired and trusted Lily. After being by her side for so long, her talent in perfumery impressed
Olivia, but this was different. After all, Nathaniel was the company‘s president, and everyone in the
company must listen to him. Lily had spent all those years in the laboratory and rarely dealt with the
other staff of the company. Thus, she was the only one who could prove that the perfumes were indeed
Lily‘s creations.
To make matters worse, Lily had less to work with in terms of witnesses and physical evidence
because of the materials MN Inc. had stolen. It was a mystery to Olivia where Lily got her confidence
now. Did it come from Rebirth?
