Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 17

“They said you‘re an adulterer and that you guys worked together to take advantage of me!”

Nathaniel‘s expression changed suddenly. “What nonsense are you spewing?!”

On the contrary, Melanie, facing Lily, was stunned hearing that. Facing, such a direct and strict accusation, she subconsciously felt guilty, and her eyes instinctively avoided it. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

After hearing Nathaniel‘s voice, she returned to her senses, “Yeah, how can you believe such words. It‘s just slander!”

“Lily, the three of us have known each other for so long. Do you still need someone else to tell you about our relationship? How could you believe such a boring provocation? It‘s hurtful to us if you believe them.” After a few words, Melanie‘s eyes were red as tears were about to fall. It looked like she was aggrieved.

Lily was speechless with her act. She thought it was a pity Melanie was not an actress. However, if life was like a play that depended on acting, anyone could do that!

Lily pursed her lips and drooped her eyes. She acted as though she was confused to face the situation. “They‘re not the only ones saying this. Others said that you and Nate...”

“Lily!” Before she could finish, Nathaniel sternly interrupted her and grabbed her arm.

“Are you stupid?! Why would you believe rumors like that?! Do you blindly believe rumors without thinking?! They are strangers, and we‘ve known each other for years, so you should know who to believe and who you shouldn‘t!”

Nathaniel sounded aggressive when scolding Lily as if she had greatly insulted him. Yeah, she did not think with her brain. Otherwise, how could both of them deceive Lily for so long?

However, the more Lily looked at Nathaniel in a state of anger and guilt, the more she found it amusing. She thought they had already reached the point where the shameless couple would instantly admit their deceit.

However, that was fine. If the shameless couple wanted to continue their facade, Lily would oblige without hesitation.

“Since the situation is already like this. Why not just announce that Mel and I jointly developed First Love?”

“No!” Melanie immediately refused decisively. “No one will believe it since what happened yesterday! It will not help restore MN Inc.‘s reputation. It definitely won‘t work!”

Nathaniel was hesitant initially, but when he heard Melanie say that, he immediately followed suit. “Yeah! That won‘t work. Plus, you know you have a lousy track record in the industry. Admitting that you and Mel had developed First Love together will be like admitting we were wronged last night, especially with your last terrible performance. I won‘t let that happen, absolutely not!”

“Then what?” Lily already guessed they would disagree. She was curious how they wanted to solve the turmoil that happened yesterday.

“Lily.” Nathaniel held her arms with both hands and spoke in a low voice, his eyes fixed on ber. “It‘s the only way. You need to do it.”

“What do you mean?” Lily raised her eyebrows calmly. “I‘ll inform the reporters to hold a press conference. You will admit your mistake, saying you got lost in the moment and wanted to take all the

credit. Then apologize to Mel. The company will come forward to forgive you and turn the situation around,” Nathaniel effortlessly spoke as if he had thought about this repeatedly. Lily looked worried and did not refute.

“B–But what about Rebirth?”

“Just reject them. Did you already sign a contract with Rebirth?” Nathaniel was unhappy, frowning at just the thought of the issue. Frowning, by just thinking of this issue, he was unhappy.
