"You..." Melanie was stunned and was just about to lash out. Frank beside her reached out to block her," Mel, this must be Lily Christian that you've mentioned before."
Melanie was stunned for a moment, then nodded," Yes, it’s her."
"Ms. Christian, removing an ingredient from the essential oil formula and maintaining the rest may not seem much, but the results were completely different," Frank paused and said slowly, "You're quite smart."
Lily raised her eyebrows, looked at him, and suddenly realized, "Are you the one Nathaniel brought in to help?"
No wonder Nathaniel stopped worrying all of a sudden. According to the news from Sapphine, MN Inc. 's factory had re-opened and resumed production.
That must mean that Nathaniel solved the essential oil formula issue.
Of course, Lily knew MN Inc. could not solve the problem with the existing staff, so Nathaniel must have hired external aid. Nonetheless, Lily had been in Middle Valley over the past few days and had been too busy to consider what kind of assistance Nathaniel had obtained. She did not expect this person to appear before her instead.
Lily did not know who Frank was. However, from the treatment the organizer gave him last night and the fact that he could pinpoint what had gone wrong with the essential oil formula, he must be a capable person. With that said, why would a person like him help Nathaniel?
In the face of Frank's sarcasm, Lily nodded. "Thank you for the compliment."
She had no intention of arguing with the duo and did not intend to start a fight here, but Melanie was not the kind of person who would let this go, especially after seeing Lily in the first-class cabin from Sapphine. Melanie had gotten nothing but troubles with Lily, so how could she miss the chance to bash Lily now that she finally got the upper hand?
"Are you stupid?" Melanie said arrogantly while pulling her sleeves, "Who do you think you are to deserve a compliment from Mr. Moreau? You're just a kindergartener compared to him. All you have are dumb little tricks, so stop embarrassing yourself.
"Lily, you must think you are invincible after joining Rebirth. Rebirth is not La Beaute! Besides, why would La Beaute even cover for you? Take a look at yourself and know where you stand. You have to stop your unrealistic daydreams!”
Jenny, standing on the sidelines, could no longer stand it. She stood between Lily and Melanie with a grim expression, saying, "No matter where Lily stands, she always relies on herself, unlike some people who dared to steal from someone else's work and were so proud of themselves. It's like they know no shame!"
Jenny was not the type that would let others bully her. She usually would not get mad quickly, but she could no longer stand Melanie's nonsense.
Melanie was so furious at Jenny’s words that her face turned ashen before turning red. She rolled her eyes and looked at Jenny. "Who the hell are you? You're speaking out of pocket. This is between Lily and me, and it's none of your business!"
"Lily is my colleague and friend, so her business is my business." Jenny poked her chest out and expressed her support for Lily. Her actions touched Lily.
Melanie sneered, "Oh, I see. Another one from Rebirth. No wonder you're so arrogant! Did you know that Lily is a two-faced b*tch? I'll give you a friendly warning so you don't regret knowing her when she fooled you."
"Don’t bother. I have eyes that can tell who the actual b *tch is."
