Besides Lily, Nathaniel was also in the dark about what happened. All he knew was that Melanie and Frank had left for Westwood and nothing else. Melanie had stopped talking to him ever since her affair with Frank was exposed, and Nathaniel did not attempt to find out anything further. Truth be told, he did not care to.
He did not care about Melanie's fate until MN Inc.'s new products were involved. Since Nathaniel and Melanie were still together at the time, the two fragrances were released under her name.
Besides, even if she cheated on him, it did not matter as long as the perfumes they made were qualified to join the perfume championship. Nathaniel had weighed his options and decided to keep her products, but this news from Alexander changed everything.
“What do you mean? How is Mel a mastermind behind a kidnapping? That’s impossible!” Though he was no longer involved with Melanie, he was still confident that he knew her enough to know she would not do something like this.
It was true that Melanie was manipulative and materialistic. However, she would not dare commit serious crimes like kidnapping or covering up for a drug addict.
‘Who was the drug addict anyway?’ Nathaniel wondered.
“Instead of thinking about things that don’t belong to you, pay more attention to the news, especially international ones, to get information about our industry," Alexander said mockingly, “It’s up to you whether or not to listen. I’m just giving you some advice out of goodwill.”
“Shall we leave?” Alexander asked Lily after he was done talking.
Alexander turned to her as his gaze landed on her gently. His attention was solely on her, and he did not care to look around him. It was as if nothing else mattered but her.
There was no more reason for Lily to continue staying here. Alexander's presence proved to Nathaniel that she would not return to him better than any explanation or rejection. From Nathaniel’s expression, Lily could tell he got a rude awakening.
“Okay,” Lily nodded and stood up under his care.
