Ch. 511..520

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 511 While Lily was thinking about what to say and if she should ask Alexander, he walked straight toward her. He tapped on his phone several times, put it down, and asked, “Have you heard about Brittany?”

Lily was shocked. ‘Why is he always so direct?‘

Nodding, she said frankly, “I‘ve heard about Ms. Oakley, but I don‘t know her first name.”

Alexander waved at Lily and pulled her to sit down. Then he said bluntly,” “Her name is Brittany, and she‘s Brandon‘s younger sister. You remember the one who climbed the wall at our house last time and came to mooch food?”

“Oh, that guy!” Lily had an impression of who it was.

However, these two were quite funny. One climbed the wall and got electrocuted but still wanted to freeload for a meal, while the other came to bribe but found the wrong person. ‘No wonder they‘re siblings. Half of their brain is probably empty.‘

“Don‘t you want to know who she is?“Initially, Alexander wanted to tell Lily the story, but seeing her lack of interest, he felt disappointed. “She‘s not jealous at all?‘

“Didn‘t you just tell me about it?” Lily blinked, and Alexander already took the initiative to explain. What else was there to ask?

Alexander was very dissatisfied, not knowing what to say to her, “Aren‘t you jealous?”

“Why should I be jealous? Is she your ex–girlfriend?”

“What if she was?” Alexander said that on purpose, suddenly wanting to see Lily‘s reaction.

Lily nodded, “Oh.”

“Oh?”

Alexander thought he had misheard, or maybe something was wrong with Lily.

Did she think a simple “oh” could send him off?

“Lily, honestly, do you even like me?” Alexander turned around, took Lily‘s hands, and looked into her eyes seriously.

‘What does that mean?‘ Lily nodded honestly, “Of course I do!”

Of course, she liked him. Otherwise, why would she marry him? Why would she want to stay with him?

“If you do, won‘t you mind other women being around ine? You don‘t mind me having an ex–girlfriend? You don‘t mind having a rival?”

That was what all women cared about most. However, Lily‘s reaction was a little too bland.

Lily finally understood what was on Alexander‘s mind. Seeing his affronted expression, she started to laugh. She gently pulled her hands from his and pinched his face. “You silly! I don‘t mind. It would have to be someone truly awesome for me to be jealous.

“It‘s already in the past, so why would I care? You wouldn‘t have married me if the woman were that important to you. After a while, she continued, “Besides, on your terms, how weird is it for you to have an ex–girlfriend? It would be even weirder if you didn‘t!”

Alexander kept quiet as he looked conflicted. He made a fist with one empty hand, put it on his lips, and coughed twice.

Lily became curious when she noticed his actions, “Are you okay?” She thought of something and asked another question, “You don‘t have an ex–girlfriend?!”

‘How can that be possible?!’ Even without his qualifications and net worth, ladies would love his handsomeness alone. In addition to his family background, wealth, etc., many were envious of him. How could he still be single all this time?

“So what? I was waiting for you,” Alexander snorted softly, but his cheeks were suspiciously flushed.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 512

“Well, I had other choices, but...” Alexander trailed off.

Lily put her hands on Alexander‘s cheeks and tilted her head to look into his eyes. His face, no matter from which angle, was flawless, “Are you sure no other women were head over heels for you?” Her last sentence was what she thought, and she said it unknowingly.

Alexander‘s eyes sank suddenly. He grabbed her restless hands and pressed her down, “Do you think every woman is as bold as you?”

That was true. Indeed, Alexander‘s conditions were attractive, but only he knew how much he had been through since taking over the family business. In his shoes, he had no time to think about other things.

Besides, there was Brittany, who was always happy to drive away the women around him. Although her obsession was tireless, it was better to be bothered by one person than a group of women.

Therefore, Alexander never said a word to the ladies Brittany had driven away. They had nothing to do with him anyway. However, the situation was different now. He had warned Brittany not to disturb anyone around him and would take action against her if she refused to listen.

Lily was quiet and could not refute. In retrospect, she was indeed bold as she approached him for help. He said he wanted to get married, and she agreed. It was probably the most daring time in her life.

Alexander stared at Lily for a while and touched her nose with the tip of his nose, then he straightened up, saying, “Brittany is not my ex–girlfriend. She‘s relatively familiar with me. I regard her as my sister, but she is unwilling to accept that.”

He clearly explained their relationship in a few simple words. After all, what else was there to the equation? If he wanted to make her jealous, he would at least give her a chance to do so.

“Then, did you know she went looking for Olivia?” Lily had second thoughts about her question and wondered how Alexander would not know about this

since Edward had witnessed the whole thing. If Edward knew, Alexander would too.

“I know,” nodding slightly, he paused and said, “There‘s a little problem now.”

Alexander turned and glanced at Lily. “Olivia beat her up.”

‘So, it‘s true!‘

Lily thought Olivia was joking when she called and said she had beaten Brittany. However, she did not expect Olivia to have genuinely done it. Lily was in disbelief. Her typically outgoing and loyal friend always valued their friendship, but Lily never imagined Olivia would dare to fight with others.

“Then, was it serious? What happened? Do we need to apologize or compensate for anything?” Lily thought of the consequences and could only suggest two things.

Alexander shook his head after thinking of the information he received from Edward. “It shouldn‘t have been too severe with Edward there. We‘ll wait and see how the Oakleys respond before deciding anything.”

“Olivia did what she did because of me. I‘ll go on her behalf if she needs to apologize or compensate. I don‘t blame her for this,” Lily said seriously.

Although she did not know the details, she knew Olivia had gotten into a pickle because of her. No matter the reason, Lily would not allow Olivia to take the

blame.

However, Alexander looked at her in surprise, “What are you talking about? Even if there was a need for an apology or compensation, Brittany should apologize, and her family should compensate.”

Lily replied, “Huh?”

Alexander would not forgive anyone who disturbed his people or touched his stuff. Why should Lily apologize instead? He would not let that happen under his watch.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 513 Arianna came home after shopping and noticed that only her mother was there. Arianna knew she was explicitly waiting for her.

“Hi, mom!” She called out smilingly, walked over quickly, and put down the bag in her hand. “I bought two new scarves for Dad, and seeing that the new style looked nice, I bought two for you too. You can try them on to see if you like them. “Arianna opened the bag and reached in to remove the scarves.

“No need for now. Let it go,” Eloise said, “Arianna, come here.”

She motioned for Arianna to sit beside her and ordered the housekeeper to bring over a black truffle cake. Then Eloise waved her hand to signal the other housekeepers to step back. Only she and Arianna remained in the living room.

Looking around, Arianna said smilingly, “Do you have something to tell me, mom?”

Eloise nodded. Her gentle eyes wandered on Arianna‘s face. She raised her hand and gently stroked Arianna‘s hair, “My dear, time flies so fast. You‘ve grown so much.”

“Well, don‘t put it that way, mom. I didn‘t grow so big overnight. You were there watching me grow up,” Arianna giggled and bent over to pick up the cake.

“Yeah!” Eloise said with emotion, “I birthed you and watched you grow. You are brilliant, but what a pity.” She said nothing after that but looked sad instead.

Arianna naturally knew what her mother wanted to say. Unfortunately, she was a girl and could not inherit their family‘s property.

It did not matter how society was now because the Tanner family was still old fashioned. Only men could inherit the family business. However, they lacked males, and one of their family members had only one son, but he was not focused on business. Joseph and Eloise, on the other hand, had only one daughter.

But wait, Arianna‘s father also had an illegitimate son. He was a brat, so he could not join the line of descendants. Even if he was born a leader, he could not inherit the Tanner family‘s property openly and honestly.

That was the reason behind Joseph and Eloise‘s argument. It was because Joseph wanted to take in his illegitimate son and wanted Eloise to accept the brat into their family tree, meaning the illegitimate son could inherit the business.

Of course, that was ridiculous to Eloise. How could Joseph expect his wife to accept a child born from another woman and give him everything? Why did he think Eloise would agree? There must be something wrong with Joseph.

“Mom, this cake is delicious!” Arianna changed the topic smilingly, always avoiding embarrassing questions in time to make the atmosphere less awkward.

Eloise naturally knew her daughter‘s intentions, so she felt even more guilty.” You‘re a grown–up now, and I don‘t want to hide these things from you anymore, my dear. I know you‘re aware of the situation and what‘s been going on at home. I want to ask you how you feel about it.”

Arianna held the cake, paused, then smiled softly. “How do I feel about it? What do you mean, mom? How do you think I should feel?”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 514

“My dear, you know you have a younger brother...”

“I don‘t have a brother!” Interrupting her, Arianna said decisively, “Mom, you and Dad have only one kid! Have you forgotten? I don‘t have a brother!”

Eloise was a little tired and gave a faint sigh, “Yes, both you and I don‘t want to accept the truth, but your father is determined to bring this son home. What do you think?”

“It‘s not the first time Dad wanted to bring them home. If it were that easy, he wouldn‘t be asking your opinion all the time. Mom, you‘re still very important in this family,” Arianna turned over and said in a serious tone.

Of course, Eloise knew that she was important. If it were not for her importance, Joseph would have divorced her long ago and married that bitch!

She kept one blind eye for many years and did not want to make things too extreme. How many men stayed loyal to their wives? As long as he did not go overboard, she could still live well and maintain the stability of life on the surface.

However, over the past two years, Derrick‘s health condition worsened. Joseph was anxious to steal the company because there was no suitable successor. He had always wanted to take charge of the Oakley family, but his elder brother was holding him down. Now it was an excellent opportunity.

Looking at the overall situation, Eloise naturally hoped that her husband could take charge of the entire family so that her status would change again.

However, if the price was to take that mistress and her son into the household, she absolutely could not accept it.

If she gave in once, it would happen again. What if the mistress wanted to get married officially? By then, it was like forcing Eloise and Arianna out the door.

After so many years of hard work, she could not give up or give in.

“However, if your father is determined to do this, then I‘m afraid we won‘t be able to stop him.”

From the initial temptation to the present, he had already laid out his cards for

the past two years. Eloise believed that the other woman was also encouraging him to do so. Who could guarantee in the future that he would allow them into the family regardless of their rejections?

“Mom, what are you doing to stop him? You have been married to dad for so many years, but you still don‘t know his temper? He‘ll be more persistent if you stop him and do not let him do what he wants. His heart will only be more inclined to the other woman!”

Arianna spoke softly. She had always been well–behaved and quiet. She was a well –known role model among the circle of rich young ladies. Many people took her as an example because she was gentle, demure, and knowledgeable.

She analyzed the situation in a clear manner, and it made people feel as if it had nothing to do with her. She was just an outsider analyzing the situation and making ideas as if they were personally unrelated to her.

“Can I stop him? If I don‘t, they‘ll move in. What should we do?”

“Haha,” Arianna laughed softly as she finished the cake. She set down the plate, wiped the corner of her mouth gracefully, and turned to her mother, “Mom, you‘re such a smart person, but why haven‘t you figured this out? Relax and think about it.

“In this situation, even if you try to stop dad, you might fail. However, if you don‘t stop him, they might not necessarily be able to come in!” Her gaze fell slightly towards the door, “The bar in our household is set high, and not just anyone can join as they like. If you can‘t manage it well, you‘ll fall!”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 515 Her words calmed Eloise’s thoughts. That was true. Why did she want to stop him? Let Joseph welcome that wh*re and her child into the family if he wanted to. Eloise could go through with it, as there was no guarantee that everything would go their way. Even if they agreed, Eloise would make sure they regretted it.

“Take a step back. If they really came in, they’d still be under your nose. They’ll live the rest of their lives with headaches. Good things don’t come easy. They should prepare for the worst!” Arianna said what was on lier mind.

Eloise, very troubled at first, seemed to live an epiphany. She was smart and only needed a little nudge to figure things out by herself. It was only because it was sudden, making her feel bewildered.

She looked at Arianna carefully again. The more Eloise stared, the more she felt she had underestimated her daughter. Eloise kept her eyes on her daughter and felt that Arianna was very similar to how capable she was when she was younger. “My dear, you’re brilliant and very much like your mother. If only…” Eloise stopped abruptly. Her expression seemed a little conflicted.

Eloise would not have to worry so much if Nathaniel could be like his younger sister. On the subject of her son, there was 110 news about him since the last time they met.

His company had gone bankrupt, and lie seemed to be missing. Eloise did not want to cause a stir by personally looking for him, so she sent someone to do so covertly, but they turned up empty-handed. Maybe he was hiding away from society because he was under too much pressure.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m on board with you on this one,” Arianna said while holding Eloise’s arm with both hands affectionately. “That’s my precious daughter!” Eloise lightly touched her cheek, “By the way, you’re not young anymore. When will you get a boyfriend and bring him home to see me?” “Mom,” Arianna stopped swaying her arm and said, “I’m on your side, and you’re still making fun of me like this?”

Eloise said sternly, “Who’s making fun of you? I meant it seriously! If you don’t bring one back, I’m afraid your father will arrange someone for you.” Arianna was startled, “Dad? What did he say?” “He didn’t say it directly but mentioned it. You’re smart. As part of our family, you should know that sometimes we can’t make our own decisions. Of course, in terms of this, I’ll support you all the way. I trust your judgment.” Basically, with that being said, it was implied that family must come first, and she must find someone or the same social status.

Arianna was relieved when she heard that nothing was set in stone yet. She replied, “Mom, if Dad mentions it again, you can tell him I already have a partner!” “Really?” Eloise was delighted, “Where’s he from? How old is he? Have we met before? Do we

know each other?” “Mom, don’t be in such a hurry! I’ll bring him home to meet you when the time comes, but not yet. I promise you’ll be satisfied in both status and appearance,” she said confidently.

Eloise believed in her daughter’s words. Arianna was smart and liad a lot of insight and ideas. Eloise sometimes felt she did not liave her daughter’s thoughtful and long-term mindset, so she trusted her when she said that.

This also relieved her heart. She patted Arianna’s hand and said, “My dear, you’re the greatest comfort to me!”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 516

Lily was mentally prepared but still got a shock when she saw Olivia. There were several scars on her face. Even though she had applied medicine, it was still slightly swollen.

“Didn’t you say that you beat her up?” Lily felt a little embarrassed.

Olivia was proud, “Of course! You should’ve seen me beat her up until she was on the floor! She looked so ugly!”

Olivia was triumphant, and when she met Lily’s suspicious gaze, she raised her hand to touch her cheek. When she felt the bruises, she subconsciously said, “Tsk!” from the pain.

Then Olivia continued, “Hey, it’s just a small injury. I accidentally scratched myself. You know, it’s inevitable when we’re fighting each other, but she’s much worse off than me, so I still beat her!”

Olivia was chuffed as if there was a banner to reward her accomplishment.

After all, Brittany had a bit of a social background. The last time, she still had Alexander to back her up, but what if she got into trouble again?

“I’m fine,” Olivia smiled, “Besides, you know my temper. After so long, who have I fought with? If it weren’t for her being rude and deceiving people, I wouldn’t be bothered.”

Besides, Brittany was the one who made the first move. Otherwise, Olivia would not have fought back. “Well, it happened because of me,” Lily said, “I bought some snacks for you and put them in the locker. You can get them later.”

“Really? That’s so nice of you!” Olivia smiled, “In that case, thank you very much!”

Food should never be rejected! Well, it seemed her mood was much better and not as gloomy. Although it was difficult to overcome the grief of losing a loved one, one always had to look forward. “By the way, I’m already looking for a new place. You can tell Mr. Russell that I’m moving out once it’s ready,” Olivia said. “Why the hurry?” Lily thought about it for a while but did not stop her, “That sounds good, though. Since Brittany found you, maybe others would too. It would be best if you didn’t get involved for no reason. It’s a good idea to move out.” Lily did not push her about this. If she put more effort into the job, the rent could easily be covered.

“Hmm…” After pondering for a while, Olivia had something to say but could not bring herself to say it.

“It’s not like you to hesitate. If you have something to say, say it. If you don’t say it now, I’ll stop listening!” Lily knew her too well. Seeing Olivia like that, Lily could already guess what she was thinking

“It’s nothing. I was just wondering. With Mr. Russell’s qualifications, he probably has a lot of exes. Do you still have to deal with them in the future?” Although it was none of Olivia’s business, Lily started to worry after she brought it up.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 517

Lily recalled Alexander‘s words when shie mentioned tliis. He said that he had never had a girlfriend before. She could not help but smile, “That‘s not possible.”

“Why not?! You didn‘t see how vicious that woman was.” Olivia took a step forward as she spoke and listed a hand like slie was holding a purse. She raised her eyebrows and imitated Arianna‘s arrogance, “Let me warn you, break up with him immediately. Not just any woman can marry into the Russell family. Do you lionestly think you succeeded in marrying rich? Name your price. How much do you want in exchange for leaving him? Would one million dollars be enough?”

Olivia exaggerated Brittany‘s words with a high–pitch voice and bossy demeanor. It made Lily laugh out loud, “That‘s enough! Do you want me to die laughing?”

“It‘s true!” Olivia stomped her feet when she saw Lily‘s disbelief and said, “Oh, that‘s right! This stomping action was also hers and not mine!” Olivia continued, “I‘ve seen a lot of women like you. What you want is money, right? How much do you want? Three or four hundred million dollars? Are you crazy?!” Olivia imitated her vividly as she shook her head and gestured no with her fingers.

Lily supported herself with one hand on the table as she doubled over with laughter.

“Hahaha!” Jenny laughed out loud. It was unknown when she came in. She had obviously heard Olivia‘s words and her performance.

“Ms. Gray!” Olivia quickly stood up straight and stopped acting.

“Why are you putting on a show instead of working? Do you want to be an actor?” Jenny lightly coughed before she put on a straight face and walked in. Oliva pouted, “I don‘t have the looks even if I want to be an actor.”

She was very self–conscious and knew that she was just an ordinary girl. She had an average look, but compared with the beautiful Lily, she seemed mediocre at most. Ms. Oakley, who she met yesterday, was pretty good–looking. However, she was too arrogant and annoying.

Oh well... she admitted that she was not good–looking. She was ugly!

“You really want to be an actor?!” Jenny put down the things she was holding on the table and turned around. “No, no. I‘m just kidding!” Olivia shook her hand and peeked. “What did you bring, Ms. Gray?” “This is information! What else do you think it is? Should I bring you some snacks instead?” Jenny said half–jokingly.

“Sure... no, no need!” Olivia hesitated but shook her head. She knew that Jenny was teasing her. “I wanted to ask what information this is.”

Jenny did not answer her question but indicated to Lily, “You should ask your manager.”

“I‘m working on creating new types of Southbank soaps right now. I keep feeling that something is amiss but can‘t pinpoint it. That‘s why I asked Jenny to bring over all the information about Southbank soap. I want to look at it and see if I can get any ideas.”

Jenny continued, “I was worried that she‘d be too busy. All‘s good now that you‘ve come back from your leave. Lily has been really busy recently due to your absence!” “Oh right, the higher–ups said that you can have two assistants. You should spare some time and select your new helper.” Jenny remembered and informed Lily. “There‘s no need.” Lily flipped through the information and said without looking up, “I have enough people as I have liv here now. It‘s not necessary dual having more assistants is better in perfumery. Too many cooks spoil the broth.” “Fine!” Jenny did not force her. She put a land over Olivia‘s shoulder and leaned on her. Jenny looked at Olivia with a meaningful smile, “Then again, Liv won‘t be staying here for very long By then, you‘ll still have to find new assistants.” “Huh, why?” Lily looked at Olivia in surprise upon hearing this, “Are you changing companies?”

Olivia shook hier lead in confusion. “No!”

“It‘s not changing companies. However, you‘ll become a rich man‘s wife after you marry Mr. Russell. Can you still work as a mere assistant?” Jenny continued without giving the other two people a chance to speak, “Way to go, girl! You hide it really well!”

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 518 Olivia and Lily fell silent as Jenny had misunderstood the entire situation. “Where did you hear these false rumors from, Jenny? I don‘t have any relationship with Mr. Russell,” Olivia raised both hands, expressing her innocence. Alexander‘s real wife was right beside her, and she dared not take away Lily‘s position.

Jenny thought Olivia did not want to admit it. She patted Olivia‘s shoulder with one hand and said, “Oh well, you don‘t need to keep pretending. There are no outsiders here. The photos clearly showed both of you together. So, do you want to wait until the wedding day before you will tell us the truth?”

“Photos? What photos do you mean?” Lily suddenly realized something amiss.

“It‘s all over the newspapers and magazines. It‘s also everywhere on social media. Did you not read the news?” Jenny was even more surprised than the duo. How could they not know such shocking news?!

The duo shook their heads simultaneously and looked at each other. They were in a bad place and busy with personal affairs recently, so they did not pay much attention to the news and gossip. Olivia and Lily knew nothing about the pliotos Jenny mentioned.

“Oh, you guys are something else,” Jenny helplessly said as she took out her mobile phone and found a relevant report to show them, “Here, look at these photos. The man in it is Mr. Russell, and the woman is you, right?” She pointed at the photo with her fingers and looked at Olivia.

Olivia was shocked. “W–What?”

‘If anyone looked at the photo from this angle, it would look like me, and Mr. Russell looks like he‘s looking at me. Still, the photo is somewhat blurry.

“Others may not recognize you since the photo is unclear, but I know you, so I can tell at a glance that‘s you in the photo. So, why are you still hiding it? Just be honest about it instead.” Jenny tickled Olivia, and Olivia giggled as she tried to get away from Jenny.

“Help me hold her, Lily. We must make her tell us the truth today!”

“Jenny, you can tell it‘s me at a glance, but don‘t you see the other people in the photos besides Mr. Russell and me?” Olivia asked as she looked at Lily. She wanted to know how Lily wanted to deal with this matter.

“There are other people?” Jenny stopped and looked down at the phone. She squinted her eyes as she looked in detail, “The others are the hospital staff and Mr. Russell‘s bodyguard. Do you take me for a fool?! How can you keep this a secret from us? Do you even treat us as your friends? Aren‘t I right, Lily?” Jenny souglit an agreement from Lily, but Lily remained silent. “Lily?”

“I should have told you this carlier, Jenny. However...” Lily touched her nose and looked at Jenny. “Actually, the person in a relationship with Alex is not Liv.” “Not Liv? Do you know who it is?” Jenny looked at Lily with widened eyes. She started to feel that something was wrong as slie looked at her. Jenny looked back and forth between Lily and Olivia. Then she thought back on their words and zoomed in with her fingers to carefully look

at the photo on her phone. She finally saw a half–figure at the edge of the photo. As she mentioned, she could immediately recognize the person she knew at a glance,

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 519

“I–Is that...” Jenny still found it unbelievable even though the answer was right before her eyes. “I–It‘s you?!”

“What‘s wrong? Why can it be me?” Lily felt amused by her reaction. She might have considered telling Jenny about this earlier if she knew low interesting Jenny‘s reaction would be.

“No. That‘s not it. I– It‘s....” Jenny found it difficult to accept this sudden turn of events. “Is it genuinely you?! Didn‘t the rumors say that...”

“Lily and Mr. Russell visited me at the hospital that day, but all my attention was on my mother at that time. There‘s a problem with the angle in this photo. It‘s an optical illusion due to misplacement. That‘s why it caused such a misunderstanding,” Olivia explained. She felt sad again at the mention of her mother.

“Oh right, it‘s as you say if I look at it this way!” Jenny felt there was indeed a problem with the angle of the photo after scrutiny. “These reporters are so clumsy. They didn‘t get the facts right before spreading gossip. I almost made a joke out of myself!”

Lily gently placed her hand on Olivia‘s shoulder, trying to comfort her.

Even though her mother‘s incident caused her to feel sad, many days have passed since then. Olivia had learned how to stay strong. She only felt a little sad and did not immerse herself in

grief.

Lily did not understand why Brittany misunderstood the person to be Olivia. However, she could somewhat understand it after she saw the photo. It seemed like Olivia took the blame for her this time.

“You hid this secret so well!” Jenny slapped Lily‘s shoulder after she understood the whole matter.

“When did you get together? Why did you not tell me?! Oh, you knew about it, too? When did you know? How could both of you lide it from me?!” Jenny was angry and crossed her arms. Olivia hurriedly replied, “I just found out about it not too long ago. I didn‘t hide it from you on purpose. It‘s just that...” She stopped lialfway, as she did not know how to explain it. Then she glanced at Lily. “This is my fault. I don‘t want to disclose our relationship because of Alex‘s identity.” Lily continued after a brief pause, “You should be able to understand. There were a lot of rumors when I just joined Rebirth. If we made our relationship public, I wouldn‘t have been able to work in peace.”

There were still many doubts about Lily even now. However, it was of no importance any longer as she no longer minded it. She had proven hier ability, won an international award, and gained recognition from Mr. Parker. All of these gave Lily great encouragement. She wanted to achieve better results with her own hands and abilities.

“Ah... that‘s true,“Jenny recalled her doubts about Lily at that time and came to understand her reasons. She had firmly rejected Lily then, and so did others. “Still, if you had made your relationship public earlier, you would‘ve had an easier path. Some may question it, but no one would dare to find fault with you.”

Even if Jenny were unwilling to accept Lily then, she would still let Lily in as someone significant supported her from behind the scenes. However, she would not be assigned any vital work, and others would treat her as an idler in the company.

Lily smiled and said, “Yes, that‘s right. While it‘s true that no one would dare find fault with me, at the same time, no one would dare to use me. I knew you wouldn‘t have let me into the laboratory, Jenny. Even if you somehow did, you wouldn‘t have handed me any projects. Am I right?”

Her words were the same as Jenny‘s thoughts. Jenny laughed along, “It‘s good that you know that.”

They had gotten along for a long time, after all. Jenny knew Lily‘s capability and talent. Therefore, even if she knew about her relationship with Alexander, she would not assume that Lily relied on relationships. “This news genuinely surprised me. Mr. Will knows about this, too, right?” Jenny felt emotional, but she gradually digested the fact and accepted it. Lily nodded. “So, I was the only one in the dark?!” Jenny reigned her anger.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 520

“No, not many people know about it. I‘m sorry for hiding this from you,” Lily apologized sincerely.

After staring at her for a while, Jenny waved her hand. “Fine, I‘ll forgive you!”

She was not a petty person, not to mention that this was someone else‘s affair. It was up to Lily if she wanted to share it witli Jenny.

“By the way, I‘ve basically found all the information you wanted here. See if there‘s anything you can use. The company has been urging us. After all, once the research is successful, it‘ll be put into production immediately.” Jenny instantly got down to business.

Lily nodded as she listened. “I know. In fact, we‘re almost done. There‘s just one last step left. Once that succeeds, we can officially kickstart the production. Olivia, come and help me.”

Jokes aside, they were all very serious when it came to working. Before they knew it, the day had already passed. Just as Lily was about to leave, she noticed Alexander‘s car parked at the company‘s entrance.

“You‘re early today,” Lily said as she got in the car and rubbed her neck. “Turn around,” Alexander ordered. “Huh?”

“Turn around!”

With a suspicious look, she slowly turned her back to him. Then, she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders, gently kneading them. “It‘s fine. I‘m a little sore from sitting for so long. I‘ll do some stretches!” Lily hurriedly said.

“Stop moving!” Alexander said as he squeezed her shoulders, massaging her.

After being massaged, the soreness in her shoulders dissipated. She succumbed to a comfortable and relaxed state instantly, enjoying his massage. “I told Jenny about us today,” she said quietly with her eyes closed,

“Mm?” Alexander hummed casually.

“Her reaction was hilarious. The news scared her because I think she believed that Olivia was with you rather than me. It‘s so funny.” Lily couldn‘t help but laugh when she recalled what had happened. Alexander listened to her uncontrollable laugh and leaned over, whispering, “Is it that funny?”

His proximity made Lily‘s eyes widen as she turned to look at him. “I thought it would cause an uproar if we officially announced our relationship.”

“Isn‘t it already announced?” He asked disapprovingly. “Isn‘t the photo posted?” “Photo? You know about the photo?” Lily was surprised. “Of course,” Alexander answered. “They wouldn‘t dare to post the photo if I didn‘t agree.” Lily was speechless to hear this.
