Chapter 421

Nathaniel's actions proved he'd won his bet, silencing many of his critics. Some netizens even began defending him.

One comment read: "If Lily created those old MN Inc. products, why didn't she say anything sooner? She waited until MN Inc. was in trouble—she's clearly jealous! She's trying to destroy Nathaniel because he doesn't love her."

Another commenter stated: "Mr. Hall said he's innocent and never slandered Lily or Melanie. Regardless of his relationships, he had peaceful breakups with both. But look at Lily! She job-hopped to Rebirth and immediately targeted her former employer. Whether or not Nathaniel is her ex or someone she's infatuated with, she shouldn't condemn him like this. She's incredibly petty."

Olivia, furious at the online reaction, watched closely. Jenny shook her head. "So many people are blind! The truth is right in front of them, yet they're siding with that bastard. I wonder if he's paying for positive comments."

Lily replied calmly, "There are also ignorant netizens."

Olivia read another comment aloud: "'Your evidence might be accurate, but Nathaniel was someone you loved. Why can't you show him some mercy?'" She slammed her palm on the table. "What the f*ck?!"

Jenny laughed at Olivia's outburst. "My team used to say kindness is misplaced in the wrong situations, but I never believed it. Apparently, all those kind people are on Twitter! Haha!"

Lily chuckled. "Jen! You're hilarious! You should be a stand-up comedian."

Olivia remained frustrated. "I can't believe you two are joking! I'm so mad I could faint! I posted all the evidence on my main account—I don't care about a fallout with Nathaniel—I wanted the truth to come out! But his few words swayed public opinion."

Another comment popped up: "'Not guilty of anything? He's unbelievable!"

Lily hugged Olivia from behind. "Getting upset over Nathaniel isn't worth it. It'll just give you wrinkles. Don't worry. Since I've decided to get even, I won't let him off the hook easily. This time, we're going all the way!"

Olivia turned, surprised. "You have more up your sleeve?"

Lily smiled calmly. "Be patient. We'll let the public's imagination run wild while Nathaniel enjoys his little bubble."

For two days, they'd posted evidence embarrassing Nathaniel. He'd thought his excellent after-sales service and quick product returns had salvaged his reputation. Lily had burst his bubble.

Lily yawned and stretched. "We're done for the day. Let's go home!"

Jenny stopped her. "Wait! You've been slacking off. You're usually in the lab all day, but now you leave on time. Be honest—are you hiding a man from us?"

Olivia hesitated. 'Hiding a man? More like Lily is being hidden. That man isn't easy to conceal.'

Lily patted Jenny's shoulder. "You're right, so let me go home to my baby."

Olivia was speechless.

Jenny asked, puzzled, "Hasn't Lily beenacting a little strange lately?"

Olivia shrugged.

Lily recently bought a red Porsche—not flashy, but convenient. She went to the parking lot to retrieve her car, where someone was waiting for her.
