Ch. 401..410

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 401

In fact, what Jenny said was right.It was very annoying to have this going on and on.

Lily thought that her relationship with Nathaniel was over, but he was still very connected to her.She could understand if it was work-related, but what was he trying to do now? Calling the police to take him away was just a temporary solution.

Since it was not a major crime, he would, at most, be fined and released afterward.

Then what? What if he came back the next day? "Anything on your mind?"

Alexander hugged Lily from behind.He had been reading a book but saw her holding a watering can and watering the same pot of flowers for a long time.

That poor pot of flowers was about to drown but she had no intention of stopping.

"Huh?"

Lily finally came to her senses and saw the flower pots in front of her overflowing, "Yeah!"

She hurriedly stopped what she was doing and turned to go to water another pot, but he grabbed the watering can from her hand and put it aside, "Okay, don't harm them yet."

With her hands empty, she tightened her lips, "Do you think I'm a scourge?"

Alexander was quiet.

What's life without the freedom to express emotions?

"If you want to harm someone, I’ll keep you at home and only harm myself!" He said softly as he kissed her hand.

That was the most beautiful thing Alexander had ever said, and it also amused Lily.

Looking into his eyes, she thought for a while before replying, "I was thinking, should we make our relationship public?"

"Why? You finally want to announce our relationship?"

He took her by the hand, turned, and walked into the house.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe then helped her sit on the sofa and got a clean towel to wipe her hands.He wiped very carefully, cleaning her finger one at a time.

Even though her hands were often used for experiments and testing chemicals, they were still well-maintained.

In addition, Lily was naturally quite fair, so her small hands were also velvety smooth.It was delicate and soft to hold.

"I..."

She hesitated and did not know what to say.

"Does it have something to do with the balloons at your company today?" he asked casually.

Lily glanced at him in surprise, but it was only for a moment.She did not want to exaggerate her reaction.

Rebirth was a subsidiary of La Beauté Group, so it was also his company.

Besides, it was impossible for him not to know about it since it caused such a commotion.Lily was still hesitant to explain and did not know where to start.

Lily sighed and said, "I thought I had made it very clear, but he doesn't seem to understand.I don't understand what he wants by creating such a big scene."

"It's simple.Meet him and find out,"

Alexander replied casually as if ic wasn't a big deal.

"You don’t mind?" Lily asked cautiously.

After all, Nathaniel was her ex.

Alexander knew about their past.

How could he mind? After asking that question, he stopped wiping her fingers and looked up at her, "Do you still like him?"

There was no jealousy or doubt.It was just a simple question asked in a very level tone.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

Lily hurriedly shook her head, her head shaking like a rattle.

What a joke! After exposing the true face of that douche and after being smeared with many rumors, how could she still like him? She would probably need to dig out her brains and bury them if she did! "That's right."

Alexander smiled, "If you no longer have him in your mind, and you no longer like him, then you’re just meeting a stranger to settle things.Why would I mind?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 402

"If you want to settle this yourself, I don’t have an issue with that.If you feel annoyed and don’t want to come forward, I can help you solve it," he threw the towel aside, took her hand, and kneeled in front of her.

He said gently, "You have to know that no matter how you decide, I’ll respect your opinion."

Lily suddenly felt very touched and wanted to cry.She wrapped her arms around his neck while pouting, "Honey, you are so kind!"She meant that from the bottom of her heart, as she was fortunate to have him.

Alexander trembled as if he did not hear clearly, "What did you say? Could you repeat it?"

"You're the best!"

Lily whispered as she buried herself in his shoulders.

"Not this sentence, the previous one! Say it again!"

He pulled away some distance and looked into her eyes.

After being married for so long, she never changed how she addressed him.She always called him by his name and occasionally called him Mr.Russell.She did not change her ways, and he did not force her to.

Since it was just a name, he continued to be patient and allowed her to accept it herself slowly.

However, he did not expect happiness to come so suddenly.

The way she called him struck his heart.

Looking into his eyes, Lily pursed her lips and smiled.Her cheeks were flushed, but she could not repeat it, "I'm not repeating it!"

Avoiding his gaze, she giggled.

Alexander was not letting her escape so easily after finally being able to hold her in his arms.He caressed her face to prevent her from dodging, "Come, babe, say it again!"

"Nope!"

She could not turn her face away, so she rolled her eyes and avoided eye contact again.

"If you don't say anything, I'll kiss you!"

"Go ahead! It’s not like you’ve never kissed me before!"

"You..."

He held her helplessly as he could not threaten her now.Alexander sighed but felt a sudden warmth on his lips.Lily took the initiative to kiss him, her lips incredibly warm and clingy.It was not just touching but also going deeper.It was not just touching, but it also went deeper.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe learned to make the opening move even if she was not particularly adept.

Stunned for a while, Alexander quickly reacted.

He went along with the flow and guided her along.

After the kiss, they were both out of breath, and Alexander no longer asked about what she had said.

Since Lily said it once, she would most likely repeat it in the future.

All it took was some patience and time.

However...

While she gently kissed his lips and pressed against the tip of his nose, Lily looked into his eyes.

At such a close distance, she could almost count the number of his eyelashes.She could see his sincerity, love, and affection from the bottom of his eyes.

"I love you, honey!" She said every word, and her words were so clear that he could hear every syllable.

Alexander was in shock, opening his eyes wide.

Just when he thought he would not hear it again today, she gave him another great surprise.

He hugged her tightly and kissed her repeatedly, "I love you too, babe!"

The most famous five-star hotel in the city was sixty-six floors tall.It overlooked the entire city.

Still, Nathaniel rarely went there, even with his financial resources.He had probably only gone there twice because of a customer's invitation.

However, he had invited Lily there, even though he was slightly apprehensive.

Nathaniel was not quite sure what Lily had in mind.

‘ Will she be willing to give me a chance, or will she want to test me? Maybe Lily still resents me"

No matter what it was, Nathaniel thought he still had a chance with Lily as long as he was persistent, especially after spending all those years together.

Nathaniel wore a more formal suit.

It was not pure white like the one from yesterday, but off-white, which added a bit of a gentleman's demeanor.He looked elegant and handsome; if he dressed up more, he would seem very attractive.

Nathaniel arrived very early, and the seats there focused on customers' privacy.

In addition, he did not know whether it was too early or there were no customers today.

He did not seem to see other people there.

‘Never mind, this is fine.Now I can have a quiet meal with Lily and create a romantic atmosphere"

Yesterday’s plan failed because of the authorities that took him away.It was not very pleasant since he did not even see Lily.He wanted today’s dinner to make up for yesterday’s loss.

Nathaniel waited for about an hour, looking at his watch anxiously from time to time for fear that Lily would not come.

Just when he wanted to call to ask where she was, he heard the footsteps of high heels.

Nathaniel raised his head but choked on his words.He lost his voice and felt startled because he had never seen Lily dressed like that.

She no longer tied up her hair but let it flow naturally.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHer slightly curled hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her knitted dress had a plunging neckline.

The dress shaped her silhouette very beautifully.

Lily had a beige cashmere coat on as well.

Nathaniel could tell at a glance Lily was wearing the latest fashion collection from that season.

A simple and casual collocation could not hide her beauty at all.

The pearl earrings and necklace were a set, and the lustrous color made Lily’s skin more fair and translucent.

Nathaniel and Lily had been together for many years, but he had never seen her so beautiful.

"Y-You..."

Nathaniel did not know what to say for a while, but when he saw Lily stretch out her hand to pull the chair, he quickly got up, walked around, and hunched over to help her pull the chair attentively.He also waved to stop the water from coming over.

Then he took the coat she removed, hung it behind the chair, and returned to his seat.

"You are so beautiful today!"

Nathaniel could not wait to praise.

Lily smiled, "Yeah, I've never been beautiful before."

Nathaniel kept quiet.

He felt embarrassed and replied, "I didn't mean that.You were beautiful before, but I didn't notice it carefully.I didn't cherish you well.What happened in the past was all my fault."

Raising her eyebrows, Lily looked at him like he was a clown.

Was this the topic of discussion? She knew he was going to start with some phony greeting.

Seeing that she did not say anything to him, he carefully found a topic and asked with concern, "How’ve you been, Lily?"

"Good.Things are well, except for the occasional interruption by some pests."

Lily waved her hand as if the pests were in front of her.

Nathaniel knew she was referring to himself, but he had mentally prepared for her ridicule, so it did not matter.He did not care if Lily mocked him as long as she was willing to change her mind.He could endure the humiliation.

"I know I've hurt you in the past.I did a lot of wrong things, and I was deceived.Hurting you was my biggest regret.I honestly want to apologize to you!" He said earnestly and sincerely.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 404

"Do you honestly mean that?"

Lily laughed, "I don’t think so."

Nathaniel replied desperately, "Then what else do you want me to do? Just name it.I’ll do whatever you want!"

"Really?" Lily smirked wickedly.

She looked like a siren that could lure any man to her.

Nathaniel was captivated by her beauty, but then he noticed she had lifted her slender finger and pointed toward the window.

Her lips uttered, "Jump out the window!"

"What?!"

Nathaniel thought he had misheard.

"Didn’t you say that you meant it? I’m giving you a chance.If you jump, I'll forgive you immediately,"

Lily looked at Nathaniel and sneered.She was smiling, but her eyes were cold.

They look like icy pools, staring into Nathaniel’s soul and freezing him.

"I-I..."

Nathaniel peaked outside the window.

They were on the sixty-sixth floor, and the view was breathtaking, but when he looked down, he felt dizzy.

‘How can I jump from this height?! I'll die!’

"Lily, stop joking.I sincerely apologize for my past mistakes, but you're being..."

He looked at Lily with a pained expression, obviously not going to jump.

"You're not willing to do it, huh? Then say so.Why are you even talking about being sincere?"

Lily laughed at Nathaniel’s foolishness.

Of course, he would not jump.She was just amazed by the fact that he would not even try to pretend to do it.She could not help but look down at him.

‘What a coward"

"I-I..."

Nathaniel was already sweating as he could no longer hold a decent conversation with Lily.He had never noticed that Lily had such a sharp tongue, and it suffocated him.

"Have you ordered?" Lily glanced at Nathaniel and asked.

"N-Not yet!"

After changing the subject, Nathaniel could speak again.

He smiled and continued, "I was waiting for you.What would you like to have? Go ahead and order."

He waved for the waiter to bring the menu over.

Lily accepted the menu and glanced at him while studying the menu, "Anything? Are you buying?"

"Of course!"

Nathaniel gritted his teeth and announced.He knew what kind of restaurant he had invited Lily to.

Even though this place was expensive, it was still within his means.It was nothing as long as he could have her back and gain help from the Lodge family.He was willing to go all out.

Lily smirked, ‘Such irony! He always claimed that outside food was not clean and lacked the taste of home, so he always insisted that I should cook whenever I suggested eating out.Yet now, Nate is being so generous?’ иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмLily pointed at a few dishes the server recommended without asking Nathaniel what he wanted and returned the menu to the waiter.

Then she stared straight at Nathaniel’s face and asked seriously, "Get straight to the point.

What are you planning? You've been on to something the past two days."

Nathaniel immediately regained his composure when he heard her question.

He cleared his throat and looked at Lily with loving eyes, "Lily, can you give me a second chance? We can start over."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 405

"You want to start over?"

Lily looked at Nathaniel like he was a joke.

Nathaniel thought Lily was still interested in getting back together, so he continued to put up his act, "I know I made many mistakes in the past.I never appreciated you, and it was all my fault.I promise to make it up to you if you give me a chance!"

The more Lily listened to what he had to say, the more ridiculous it became.Lily changed her seating position to get a better look at Nathaniel, saying, "Let me hear it then.How are you planning to make it up to me? What could you possibly give me that I don’t already have?"

Nathaniel had no idea that Lily was messing with him.

He thought she would feel tempted to take him back, so he continued persuading her, "If you’re willing to come back to me and MN Inc., I'll listen to everything you say.I’ll use all my connections and everything I can to make you the best perfumer in the country and abroad!"

"Didn’t you say I wasn’t good enough and shouldn’t embarrass myself in public to avoid being their target if I make mistakes?"

Lily drawled as she tapped the table continuously, reminding Nathaniel of what he had said to her in the past.

"I-I"

"You've also called me inexperienced.You said even if people knew me in Sapphine, it wouldn’t mean people would know me in Hyderland and that I shouldn’t even consider succeeding internationally.So, you’re saying I'm suddenly good enough after just a few months?"

Lily spoke.

"Lily, L.."

Nathaniel tried to interject.

"You also said I should focus on being in the background, properly researching my perfurne formulas, and not care about external factors like fame and fortune.That I should be humble and not blinded by vanity, correct?"

Lily did not even allow Nathaniel the chance to speak.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe continued reminding Nathaniel of everything he had said in the past when they were together.

Lily’s words were like sharp arrows, shooting Nathaniel continuously.

Lily wanted to ask him if he felt embarrassed by how contradicting he sounded.

Nathaniel was rather shameless.He looked at Lily with slight redness on his cheeks but continued, "Lily, why don’t we let bygones be bygones?"

"You want bygones to be bygones? Do you think we should start fresh just because you want to? Just because you don’t want to bring it up, then we shouldn’t? Why should I even listen to you?"

Lily moved away from Nathaniel’s hand that was trying to touch her.She added, "Are you cowardly to even admit that those were your words?"

"I'm not trying to deny anything, and I admitted it was all my fault! Aren’t I already apologizing to you now? Mel...Melanie’s lies blinded me in the past, so I apologize for treating you so poorly.Now that I think about it, I realize how terrible I was.You can yell or even hit me, do anything you want as long as I can ultimately get your forgiveness, please?"

Nathaniel was a shameless man, but it was true that Melanie was not a kind woman.

Still, Nathaniel was the same.He also used to call Melanie "Mel."

However, he was pushing every mistake he had made onto Melanie.How pathetic was he?

"Lily, I regret my past actions.Can’t you forgive me? Tell me, then, what more can I do to earn your forgiveness?"

Nathaniel started to feel nervous as Lily’s demeanor became increasingly colder.

He was willing to go all out, but why was she still unwavering? Was it because she had a change of heart? Before Nathaniel asked Lily out for dinner, he had employed a private detective to do a background search on her.

However, the private detective was still unable to find out much private information about her, such as information about the Lodge family.

There was a piece of valuable information that Nathaniel was most apprehensive about.

The information he had received exposed that Lily had strong support from someone influential but not from the Lodge family; it was someone from La Beauté Group.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 406

According to Nathaniel's source, Lily was recommended to Rebirth by someone from the La Beauté Group.

That was why her entry into Rebirth went so smoothly, and she received better care and resources.

Nathaniel believed his source because he could not understand why anyone would want to guide a newcomer in Rebirth.He initially thought she was connected to a Rebirth executive.

That was until he learned she was from the Lodge family and had probably used their ties to get in.

However, it seemed that was not the case either, as the information given to him stated the person's name...

Nathaniel gritted his teeth and decided to speak plainly, "Lily, is there someone else? Is that why you refuse to come back to me?"

Surprise flashed across Lily's eyes.She thought that Nathaniel had found out about her relationship with Alexander.She was startled he knew about their relationship, even though she had planned to tell him.

When and how did Nathaniel learn about them? Noticing Lily’s surprised demeanor, Nathaniel knew that the information given to him was correct.She had already found someone else.

This realization made him feel uncomfortable.

After weighing his options, he still refused to give up.

"I know it was all my fault, and I've made you the way you are.Understandably, you wanted someone you could lean on, but do you think he's worthy of you?" Nathaniel asked mockingly, not even considering the other man a worthy opponent.

Lily was dumbfounded and questioned him with an incredulous face, "If he's not worthy, then what about you?"

Nathaniel was downright narcissistic.How could he even compare to Alexander? Nathaniel was shockingly self-confident!

"Of course!"He said proudly, "Even if my company is small and I’m not in the same position as him, you should reconsider your choice.He may seem like he has a good job, but he's only an assistant, and that’s the furthest he’ll go.He’s nothing without Mr.Russell! 1, on the other hand, am different.will be big someday.

Just look at our success with our new products.Our profits would double by the end of this year, and we could list our company's shares on the market.

"Lily, we'd have a brighter future together.If you stayed with Edward Sullivan, he’d only be able to bring you short-term benefits.Do you think Rebirth or La Beauté Group would take his orders? It’s all because he works for Mr.Russell.If he were to be fired one day, he wouldn't be worth anything! You should wake up and come back to me!"

Nathaniel looked like he wanted to knock some sense into her.Lily spaced out while looking out the window with one hand under her chin.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe was trying hard not to laugh at Nathaniel’s nonsense.

It was a major misunderstanding! Nathaniel mistook Edward for her boyfriend, just like Olivia had in the past.

Edward was never even a part of this, yet he continued getting dragged in.

Lily was just as innocent, so why was she often the victim of these misunderstandings? Nathaniel could only see Lily’s side profile and thought she was crying since one of her hands was covering her face, and her shoulders were quivering.

He spoke gently, "Lily, just come back to me.I'll make sure to treat you right this time! I'll also change our company's name just for you.Instead of MN Inc., we could call it Lilsy, just like your nickname! It would sound so elegant and sophisticated!"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 407

"Why don't you give Lily that small, pathetic company of yours? Then she can decide on any name she likes, correct?"

A clear male voice sounded behind them.He walked over to their table and sat next to Lily, saying, "I'm sorry I'm late.I had to take care of something."

Even though he had told her to call if she needed any help, she was still surprised that he would show up unannounced.

"Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop..."

Nathaniel frowned as he wanted to kick this rude man out immediately.

Nonetheless, when he viewed Alexander's face closely, Nathaniel thought he looked familiar.

In a sudden rush of realization, his expression changed, "Y-You're Mr.Russell..."

After all, they worked in the same industry.

Even though he had never met Alexander, Nathaniel knew who he was and had also glimpsed him at social parties.Still, he could not meet Alexander due to their vastly different social and professional statuses.

Nathaniel had considered using his connections to meet Alexander, but his influence and company were too modest.

MN Inc.was simply too small to be of interest to La Beauté Group.

Nathaniel never imagined meeting Alexander Russell in that restaurant.

Alexander had moved to sit directly in front of him, with one hand resting on the back of Lily's chair, giving the impression that they were very close.

‘T -This is.."

Nathaniel's mind went blank as he was momentarily stunned.

"I heard you're trying to pursue my girlfriend?"

Alexander turned to look at him and asked calmly.

"Y-You...I-I.."' Nathanial gulped.

There were no words that could describe the shock and surprise he felt.

'What did he say? His girlfriend? Lily? Was Lily his girlfriend? Wasn't Edward Sullivan Lily's boyfriend?' Nathaniel's head was filled with questions.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and he was still too stunned to speak.

"I overheard what you said, and it dawned on me, Mr.Hall, that you're quite confident with your career.Additionally, I’ve heard nothing but praise for your company’s recent releases.You're quite capable when it comes to your marketing performance, aren’t you?"

Alexander appeared to be carrying a light conversation.

Alexander appeared calm and unconcerned, making it difficult to decipher what he meant by his comment.

"Haha, it’s all right, I guess,"

Nathaniel laughed dryly while his mind spun, thinking of how he could salvage the situation.He pondered, ‘What exactly was Alexander trying to do? Was he on Lily’s side?"

Alexander continued slowly, "However, I heard that the two new products were created by Melanie Thayer, right?"

Nathaniel choked on his spit and immediately replied, "Yes, but it’s "

"Honestly, it doesn't matter who made it because consumers only care about the fragrance's quality, right?"

Alexander paused before continuing, "Still if the perfumer was the mastermind behind a kidnapping and suspected of covering up for a drug addict, I don't think the public would still use her products.Either way, I doubt both of your products would qualify for the yearly perfume championship.Such a shame!"

Alexander did not sound sorry at all.

Instead, he used a condescending tone to mock him.

Lily looked at Alexander in astonishment.

Whatever Alexander had just said to Nathaniel contained so much information that even Lily did not know about.

‘Melanie? The mastermind behind the kidnapping? Covering up for a drug addict?’ Why was Lily unaware of all of these happening around her?’

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 408

Besides Lily, Nathaniel was also in the dark about what happened.

All he knew was that Melanie and Frank had left for Westwood and nothing else.

Melanie had stopped talking to him ever since her affair with Frank was exposed, and Nathaniel did not attempt to find out anything further.

Truth be told, he did not care to.He did not care about Melanie's fate until MN Inc"s new products were involved.

Since Nathaniel and Melanie were still together at the time, the two fragrances were released under her name.

Besides, even if she cheated on him, it did not matter as long as the perfumes they made were qualified to join the perfume championship.

Nathaniel had weighed his options and decided to keep her products, but this news from Alexander changed everything.

"What do you mean? How is Mel a mastermind behind a kidnapping? That’s impossible!"

Though he was no longer involved with Melanie, he was still confident that he knew her enough to know she would not do something like this.It was true that Melanie was manipulative and materialistic.

However, she would not dare commit serious crimes like kidnapping or covering up for a drug addict.

‘Who was the drug addict anyway?’ Nathaniel wondered.

"Instead of thinking about things that don’t belong to you, pay more attention to the news, especially international ones, to get information about our industry,"

Alexander said mockingly, "It’s up to you whether or not to listen.I’m just giving you some advice out of goodwill."

"Shall we leave?"

Alexander asked Lily after he was done talking.

Alexander turned to her as his gaze landed on her gently.His attention was solely on her, and he did not care to look around him.

It was as if nothing else mattered but her.

There was no more reason for Lily to continue staying here.

Alexander's presence proved to Nathaniel that she would not return to him better than any explanation or rejection.

From Nathaniel’s expression, Lily could tell he got a rude awakening.

"Okay,"

Lily nodded and stood up under his care.

Alexander placed his coat over her and left while ignoring Nathaniel, who was still stunned.

After taking a few steps, Alexander suddenly remembered something and turned around.

"By the way, at least have the decency of footing the bill.After all, you're the one who invited Lily out, right?"

Lily was surprised when Alexander turned back because she thought he had something important to say to Nathaniel.

Lily almost burst out laughing when she heard what Alexander said instead.She tried hard to hold in her laughter until they got downstairs.

Alexander glanced at her and said, "Just laugh if you want to."

Lily finally cracked up, иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмlaughing so hard that tears almost flowed down her cheeks.

"My appearance delighted you that much, huh?"

Alexander asked gently, "If I knew you'd be this happy, I would’ve appeared sooner, or maybe I should do that next time?"

Lily shook her head, "I thought you’d pay for the meal instead."

She knew that Alexander was a generous person and paying for that meal was nothing to him.

"He was the one who asked you out, so why should I pay? He should be grateful that I did not order anything else," Alexander smirked.

Alexander was right, and Lily chuckled as she thought of the look on Nathaniel's face when he had to pay the bill.

Alexander knew exactly how to tick people off.

"What was that about Melanie’s case? I thought you said you didn’t have anything to do with it?" Lily asked, looking at him with an ‘I know you were involved’ look.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 409

"I honestly had nothing to do with it."

Faced with Lily’s wary eyes, Alexander decided to confess, "Fine, I had something to do with it, but I only a tiny part."

He emphasized while gesturing with his fingers, showing Lily how little he got involved.Lily was not that gullible, "Are you sure? Just a small part?"

‘He said he had nothing to do with this just a while ago, and now he says it’s just a small part"

"It’s true.I only played a small part!"

Alexander reassured Lily, both his hands on her shoulders as if this would make her trust in him grow.

"All I did was provide the Westwood police force with some information.I showed them some evidence that might suggest Melanie was one of the suspects in the kidnapping case.The rest was history.

"The police were responsible for the arrest, and they were also the ones that charged her with the crime.I did nothing much, seriously!"

Alexander locked so sincere that Lily believed he had nothing to do with this incident.

"So, ultimately, Melanie was the real mastermind behind the kidnapping?" Lily asked, obviously feeling shocked at this news.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмShe had never thought that someone who looked so harmless and gentle would be this sinister.

"I’m not sure," Alexander just shrugged, unbothered.

Lily looked at him in disbelief, "You’re not sure yet you provided the police with information about her?"

Alexander added thoughtfully, "However, I’m pretty sure Melanie has always wanted to hurt you.I’ve already let her off the hook twice when we were here.I can’t let her go again, can I?"

Lily agreed that what Alexander did was for her sake, even if he were the one who gave the police a tip about Melanie.

If she were innocent, the police would not be able to pin the crime on her.

Since Melanie got arrested, maybe she did something to hurt Lily that Lily was unaware of.

Lily could only roll her eyes and say, "Amazing! You were outright amazing!"

If this happened in a television drama, Lily was sure the director would give Alexander some heroic background music to make him look cooler.

"Then, doesn’t this mean I should receive a reward?"

Alexander concluded while inching his face closer to Lily’s.Lily rolled her eyes again and gently kissed his cheek, "Happy now?"

"Why are you so stingy with your rewards?"

Alexander showed his dissatisfaction and took things into his own hands, "You should do it like this."

After paying the bill, Nathaniel exited the restaurant dejectedly when he stumbled across Alexander and Lily kissing.He turned green with jealousy.

The woman who was once loyal and unwavering to him was now smiling and leaning into another man’s embrace.

Nathaniel knew he no longer stood a chance with Lily.He had lost not only a girlfriend but also massive support from her influential family.

Nathaniel felt utter regret as he imagined losing the chance to obtain immeasurable power and wealth.He could do nothing but stand there with his fingernails digging into his palms.

"L-Lily,"

Nathaniel muttered her name quietly as his head filled with rage and loath.It was deep into the night but were still places full of people and chatter, such as a pub street.

With neon green and red lights scattered around the area, people looked for ways to lose themselves in ecstasy or drown themselves in pure intoxication.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 410

Nathaniel had been drinking for quite a while since feeling down.He had never felt like this before, and it was like everything was over.

"Hey, handsome, it’s such a bore to be drinking alone.Why don’t you join me?"

An attractive woman approached Nathaniel and started to hit on him.

Nathaniel raised his head to look at the woman but could not make out who she was as he was already quite wasted, "Sure, why not."

Suddenly, someone came over and shoved the lady aside, ignoring her yells of protest.

Nathaniel roared intoxicatedly, "Who are you?! How dare you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, someone dragged him to the bar entrance by his collar.

"W-Who are you? W-What are you trying to do?"

He was slightly sober now as he stood outside the bar shivering from the cold wind that blew.

Although the commotion attracted some attention, it was normal at a bar, so everyone continued having fun after a while.

Bang!

The person shoved Nathaniel into the backseat of a car, and the door slammed beside him.

Since he was drunk, he was half- kneeling in his seat, trying hard not to throw up.

"How dare you?"

Nathaniel started again before someone splashed him with a cold glass of water.It was already winter, so he shivered and opened his eyes.

"Are you sober now?"

He finally realized who had splashed him with water when he heard the familiar voice.

When the lights inside the car turned on, he saw his mother’s arrogant yet beautiful face.

"Mother, waa...."

Nathaniel cried, unleashing all his pent-up frustration and unfairness he felt.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe lay his head on Eloise’s lap and sobbed uncontrollably.

Nathaniel was just like a child who got bullied at school, finally able to release his anger and frustration to someone he trusted.

This time, Eloise did not try to correct Nathaniel when he had failed to call her Ms.Neville.

Instead, she sighed and gently patted Nathaniel’s head, allowing him to cry freely.

After crying for a while, Nathaniel felt tired, so he sat up and cleaned his face with his sleeves.Eloise frowned and passed him a face towel, "Clean yourself up properly!"

"S-Sorry..."

After cleaning himself up and regaining his composure, Nathaniel said, "I didn’t mean to lose control."

Eloise frowned in disapproval and stated, "Now, you’re sorry? Look at yourself!"

"It’s the end for me this time, Mother.My company will get destroyed too, but what can I do to salvage it? I’ve failed you!"

Nathaniel wanted to tear up again, so he tilted his head upward, not wanting to lose control again.It was embarrassing enough that he had done it once already.

"What nonsense are you spewing? How could your life be over just because of something like this? I’ll only be disappointed in you if you choose to give up!"

"B-But I..." Nathaniel started.

Eloise ignored what he had to say and continued, "Remember what that sc*m father of yours wanted to do at the casino? He wanted to trade us like some commodity to continue gambling.I could overcome all our early hardships alone, and do you think it was all rainbows and sunshine that I got to remarry into the Knight family? "Do you know how many challenges I had to overcome? Do you know how many dirty schemes I had to avoid? Now, you’re crying over such a small matter!"

"I..."

What Eloise said made Nathaniel feel ashamed, so he stayed silent for a while.
