His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 420

Nathaniel broke out in a cold sweat in his office as he stared at his monitor intensely. He never imagined that Lily would have such a trick up her sleeve. He did not expect Olivia to have a record of the research data either.

“No! I can still turn this around!” Nathaniel stumbled to his feet.

He remembered getting Melanie to rewrite a copy of the notes when they wanted to sue Lily back then. It could serve as evidence for him this time around.

After digging around the entire room, he found the new notebook buried deep in one of the drawers. He put it on the table, preparing to take a picture of it, but he froze abruptly.

Nathaniel had forgotten an important detail. When Lily left, she left problems behind for him, too, because part of the records was incorrect. They were not glaring mistakes, so Melanie copied everything without making corrections since it was impossible for her to find them in the thick books. If he published the notes he had now, netizens might find those mistakes, and the situation would become even worse for him.

He hung up the phone and tousled his hair helplessly, trying to find some positive spin on the situation.

Nathaniel looked at his monitor and saw tons of new notifications and his almost-exploding inbox filled with private messages. He did not need to read them because he already knew what they would say.

What else could they be if not reprimands and criticisms? Nathaniel’s mind was blank, and he slumped back in his chair while staring at the ceiling.

It was funny. Those were just words and comments on the internet, and they were something he could stop seeing if he just switched his computer off. However, the words seemed like an invisible net trapping him. It made him feel suffocated from not being able to escape.

He was aware of the terrifying power of public opinion in the current age. On the one hand, he could cause a stir, gain prominence, and cash in on the public's pity to boost sales, but on the other, he could find himself on the receiving end of harsh words. The calls for customer returns and boycotts were warnings of a potentially disastrous start.
