His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 197

Nathaniel hung up the phone and took a cigarette break before entering the house. Inside, Melanie was sitting on the sofa, peeling an orange. Before putting it into her mouth, she ensured the orange was free of all piths.

"Something wrong?" Melanie asked as she noticed he had a pained expression.

She cleaned up the mess on the table, wiped her hands, and sat up. Nathaniel shook his head, indicating that he rather not talk about it.

"Even if you don't tell me, I could guess. I heard a thing or two when you were on the phone. Lily was the one who leaked the information about our perfume, right?" Melanie was good at reading people as if she was filled with wisdom.

Since Melanie had overheard his conversation with Lily, he decided not to keep it from her anymore. He heaved a heavy sigh, walked to the fridge to get a can of beer, and downed it.

"Why are you so angry when she's the one who leaked the information? She's just asking for trouble. If that’s what she wants, then let her be," Melanie said nonchalantly.

She did not think it was a huge problem. Ever since the formula of their perfume was leaked the last time,

Melanie had honestly stopped caring.

It was true that the awards she had received were all because of those perfumes, but it was Lily who invented them. Melanie did not participate in any research or production, so she knew nothing about the formula. Her value to the company diminished after the award show.

After utilizing her as a marketing tool, their primary concern was making money. Following the fallout with Lily, Melanie knew MN Inc. could not rely on its past perfume lines alone. They needed to come up with a novel approach to retain their clients.
