However, Rebirth was just a subsidiary of La Beauté Group, and its relationship with the parent company was ambiguous. No one from Rebirth had yet to express any support for Lily.Olivia felt uneasy. Under Nathaniel's constant urging, she returned to the office to investigate what had transpired.Meanwhile, Lily officially reported for duty at Rebirth. Although they had negotiated a deal, the contract had not been signed. An appointment was made the day before for Lily to come in for work. According to Alexander, Lily should familiarize herself with the company before officially starting work. Owing to Lily's vehement insistence, Alexander did not intervene too much. He left it to Edward Sullivan to handle Lily's onboarding. Even so, Lily knew that her arrival would not be peaceful.Walking through the office, Lily arrived at the general manager's office. Three people were waiting inside, two of whom she had met."Mr. Will."Sitting in the middle was George Will, the general m

Anthony opened the door and peeked his head in. ”Mr. Hall, Olivia Hart is here.” “Let her in.” Nathaniel nodded. Olivia put away her phone awkwardly and entered the office with a forced smile. ‘Forget it. It’s better to check the situation first before telling Lily.’“M-Mr. Hall.” After addressing Nathaniel rather stiffly, Olivia stood by the side silently while waiting for him to speak. To be honest, Olivia did not like Nathaniel very much. She followed Lily for quite some time as the duo buried themselves with work in the laboratory.Olivia had always thought of herself as diligent, as she was one of the most hardworking students during her school days. Only after following Lily did Olivia find someone as hardworking as her. The duo would be so engrossed with lab work that they sometimes forgot to eat and sleep.Olivia had even lost count of times when she helplessly fell asleep in the laboratory. Even when she woke up, she saw Lily still recording, analyzing, and researching

However, his threat meant nothing to Olivia. She paused her steps and slowly turned around. The sight of his angry face made her chuckle. “Do as you wish, Mr. Hall! From now on, I’ll choose when I want to work and what time I’ll arrive. If you wish to penalize me for being late or playing hooky, go ahead!”Then Olivia opened the door and walked out of his office.“You’re letting her go just like that?” In disbelief, Melanie stared at the door through which Olivia had exited, then turned to Nathaniel and said, “She’s going to tell the press all that nonsense! How could you let her leave?”With a dark expression, he roared in return, “What should I have done instead? We’re at the company building! Do you know how many people saw her enter my office? Do you think I could lock her up?”“What should we do now?” Melanie was anxious and bit down on her lip. There are a lot of folks who are doubtful of her these days. The name Melanie had made for herself with much difficulty was now r

Lily was speechless. She did not expect Nathaniel to seek her out over the place she used to rent. Seeing that he only just discovered she no longer lived there, it seemed he did not look for her for the last few days.Looking at Alexander, Lily’s lips curled into a smirk as she picked up her phone and said leisurely, “Since I won’t be staying there anymore, obviously, I’d stop renting the place. I could talk directly to the landlord about it, so why would I need to inform you, Mr. Hall?”“Don’t forget that I paid all the rent for you! You!” Nathaniel wanted to continue ranting, but he suppressed his rage and took a few deep breaths. After that, he asked, “Where are you staying now? Rebirth can’t possibly provide you with food and accommodation, can they?”He was convinced that Rebirth brainwashed her, and with his involvement with Melanie, it might be difficult to keep the truth from her anymore. Other than that, he could not think of another reason Lily, who had always been obedie

Charles called Lily into his office as soon as he sighted her. It seemed as though he was waiting for her. Charles walked to the side of his desk and pointed at the window blinds in front of him. “Pull down the blinds.”Lily turned around to do as Charles said. As she was doing so, she could see the gossiping and inquiring eyes from the outside. ‘What is going on?’ Lily pulled down the blinds and walked deeper into the office.“Take a look at this.” Charles took out an envelope and threw it in front of her.Lily opened the envelope with doubt in her heart and found a lawyer's letter inside. As expected, Nathaniel had sued her. Lily glanced at the letter casually and put it back into the envelope with a sneer on her face. She did not take it seriously.Charles had been observing her reaction. When he noted that Lily was overly calm, he could not help but ask, “What are your thoughts on this? The other party has sent us a lawyer’s letter.”Lily put away the letter. “I apologize for
