His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 226

"Actually, the sample was successful, but our product failed during the last test. The final result was just unpresentable. We'd lose if we used this as our competitive product." He might as well tell Melanie the truth because he could not disguise it.

"What do you mean by unpresentable? How could this be? This formula could not be wrong. I got it from...” She realized what she was saying as soon as the words left her mouth and promptly stopped talking.

Nathaniel stared at her, "From where?"

"F-From way back. I've had this formula for a long time, and I’ve done countless tests on it. I believe this formula has no problem at all!" Though she sounded determined, she was also unsure.

Frank gave her the formula, and Melanie had no reason to doubt him, given his authority and expertise. She thought everything he gave her was perfect. However, her belief in him faltered after his formula failed lab testing. She could not let Nathaniel know, so she had to act confident in her formula.

"I believe this formula wouldn't be wrong either, but we've tried many times. Why don't..." Nathaniel did not finish his sentence. He did not know how to say this to Melanie.

A few days ago, he was the one who told her not to go

"Do you want me to go take a look?” After all, they had been together for a long time. Melanie could read him like a book.

In embarrassment, Nathaniel sighed and shook his head, "No, it’s fine! There are so many people in the lab that I'm sure one of them could figure out what’s wrong. I just wanted to check if the formula was fine. Don't worry. We’ll push on until we succeed!"
