His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 30

Lily walked over and sat down gracefully. Melanie had arrived at the venue earlier. Once Lily took her

seat,Melanie glanced over at Nathaniel, who noticed that and gave Melanie an "Okay" gesture.

Seeing that, Melanie felt slightly more at ease.

The press conference soon commenced, and Nathaniel went straight to the point.

"I'm sure all of you heard about the incident during the perfumery competition last night.

There were some misunderstandings.

Hence, we arranged this press conference to clarify the misunderstandings to those concerned with the

media’s help.” Nathaniel paused before he continued, “The product ‘First Love,’ which was one ofMN

Inc.'s entries to the competition, was well-received by everyone.

However, two companies submitted the same work, which raised concerns about plagiarism and

intellectual property theft.

The people involved in this incident are already here, so I won’t say more.

Now, I'll pass the floor to the two perfumers to explain it to all of you, alright?” Then Nathaniel passed

the microphone to Melanie.

Melanie wore a black Bardot dress, making her look imposing.

The interesting thing was that her black dress formed a sharp contrast with Lily’s white dress.

Accustomed to such situations, Melanie brightly smiled as she said, “Hello, everyone.

I'm Melanie Thayer, MN Inc.'s chief perfumer.” The way Melanie introduced herself as MN Inc.’s chief

perfumer made Lily lower her gazeand smirk.

“As Mr.

Hall briefly explained the incident earlier, I won't be repeating it.

I just want to say that I've known hard work is more important than talent ever since I started my career

in thisindustry.

I believe that a great perfume results from a perfumer's dedication to the lifelong learning of fragrances

through continuousresearch and experiments.

We must put our minds to doing the right thing.

Playing tricks may help a person gain short-term benefits, but it will never help them in the long run.

Am I right, Lily?" Melanie concluded her part by throwing a question to Lily casually.

Sure enough, everyone’s attention averted to Lily.

They were all ears, waiting to hear what Lily had to say.

Although Melanie did not denounce Lily, everyone understood the meaning behind her words.

Melanie made it clear she was the victim, while Lily was the thief who plagiarized and stole the work of

others.

The microphone was in front of Lily, but she was not in a hurry to speak.

She looked around the venue, her gaze sweeping almost the entire place.

Just when Nathaniel started to get anxious and wanted to remind Lily to speak, he finally heard Lily

say, “I agree with what Ms.

Thayer said.

It's indeed most important for us to put our minds to doing the right thing.

Besides, Ms.

Thayer was right about one's hard work being more important than one’s talent.” The reporters clicked

their cameras wildly, but Lilydid not dodge them.

She remained calm in the face of the blinding lights. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nathaniel and Melanie kept a professional smile on their faces while a thought popped up in their

minds.

Lily was merely repeating Melanie’s exact words.

Everything sounded the same, but why did the two get suspicious when those words came from Lily?

“Ms.Christian, are you admitting that you stole Ms. Thayer’s work?” one of the reporters asked.

Lily lightly smiled when she heard such a critical question.

"I did not say that." "Oh?" There was an uproar among the crowd.

The cameras started flashing again instantly, and more reporters were eager to ask Lily questions.
