His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 414

Eloise raised her hand to knock his head, somewhat annoyed that Nathaniel was not smart enough. “You’re the company's legal representative, so your stance, in this case, is of extreme importance! You must understand that you cannot get rid of your involvement in this issue no matter what you do.

“If you choose to support her, that means your morals are questionable. If you cut off all ties with her, the public won’t think that you’re fair and selfless, but they’d say that you’re heartless for leaving her alone when things got tough.”

“This…” Upon hearing that, Nathaniel’s expression turned grim. “No matter what I do, I’d look like the bad guy!”

“What else do you want?” The mention of this made Eloise mad. “This is all your fault! This matter could only be dealt with in a low-key manner, and you should not reveal too much because the more you say, the more problems will arise. Also, behave yourself these days. Stop visiting bars and getting drunk! Do you want to tarnish your name even further?”

“I-I’m sorry.” Nathaniel hung his head low, embarrassed to look up after being reprimanded by Eloise. However, she was right, so he could only apologize.

“You must make the public think you were hurt in this relationship. Oh, didn’t you say that Melanie had an affair with Frank? Find some internet trolls and leak that online. Don’t do it yourself. Remember that you should say and do nothing about Melanie’s affair. That way, the public would think you’re a victim in this case too.”

Nathaniel suddenly looked up with disbelief written across his face. “I… need to announce that to the whole world?”

He had pride and did not want to make a big deal out of this, afraid it might embarrass him even further.

“Which is more important to you? Your pride or your future?” Eloise rolled her eyes at Nathaniel. Sometimes, she felt that her son did not inherit her intelligence. “You must understand that people tend to sympathize with the weak. You'll look like a victim when you don’t say anything regarding the affair, making people pity you more. Sometimes, sympathy could help a lot!”

“I understand it now! I know how to go about it!”

Under Eloise’s guidance, Nathaniel finally figured things out. “Mom, thank you. I wouldn’t have known what to do without you! I thought… that you wouldn’t care about me…”

“You’re my son. I couldn’t just stand by and watch you suffer, could I?” Shaking her head, she added, “Other than these urgent matters, you must recruit a few more talented perfumers. Your company wouldn’t be able to function without them, okay? My suggestions might help your company solve its crisis this time, but what about in the future?”

“I tried to recruit a few before, but there wasn’t anyone fit for the role.” Nathaniel had the same thought as Eloise, but it was tough to find the perfect candidate because a profession in this line of business was not a popular choice.

The novice perfumers were not skillful enough, while the better ones would choose to work in a much better company than MN Inc.

“That’s why I said you’re really…” Eloise trailed off, choosing not to finish her words because it would not help with the current situation.

Sighing, she started, “Don’t aim too high. Forget about getting top-tier perfumers. You can recruit those mid-tier ones who are suitable and with some potential to grow in the future. Experience doesn’t matter much. Talent is much more important. Do you understand me?”

“I… Okay!” Nathaniel wanted to retort, but he nodded immediately after meeting Eloise’s gaze.

Now, he did not have the right to be picky. Having someone capable on the team would be good enough for him.
