His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 49

Lily smiled indifferently. "I'm not afraid of them.

That's what I want exactly."

"Oh?" After some thought, Alexander continued, "You have a backup copy of all their data?"

As a perfumer, it was normal for Lily to have backups of all research data as she would conduct countless experiments on fragrances in a year, including minor adjustments along the way. Each research would take months, so it would be easier for her to check for any missing data or errors with her backup copies.

"I did, but he took them away too."

Before, she was utterly defenseless against Nathaniel. She did not think of transferring or hiding her research data elsewhere because she trusted him. Lily kept everything in the lab, and Nathaniel sent his men to take them away the other day.

After listening to Lily's words, Alexander narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't understand. Why are you still so confident if you don't have any evidence?"

Initially, Lily did not plan to tell Alexander anything, but since he asked, she would not hide it from him either. "It's nothing much. I was not wary about Nathaniel before this and kept all the data in the lab. Still, he sent his people to take them away a few days ago. Liv was there, but she couldn’t stop them at all."

The memories of that day flooded back to her. It only made her believe that Nathaniel was not only dishonest but also heartless. He took all of Lily's evidence away so that she could not prove her innocence even though she was the victim and had to bear everyone thinking she plagiarized other people's work. Nathaniel did not even care that Lily was his ex -classmate, let alone his lover.

Lily stopped for a moment as Alexander did not interrupt and waited for her to continue.

"However, I have this one habit."

"What habit?" That aroused Alexander’s curiosity.

Lily laughed mysteriously and said, "When I take notes, I have a habit of jotting down the date and my initials at the end of the day. I do that because there are too many records, and I'm afraid I'll get confused. I would record the time frame of the experiment too, but this is just something extra that I do to help me. I don't think Nathaniel will notice that."

Nathaniel was no expert regarding fragrances, though he was not a newbie. He was best at attracting investments, managing manufacturing processes, and marketing products. Nathaniel was only suitable to be on the management team. As for creating fragrances, he was not interested and was not an expert.

"It's definitely a good idea to do that." Alexander finally understood why Lily was confident. Everyone had their habits when taking notes. Although it was just a tiny detail, it could still be detected. However, not everyone would notice the most minute details.

"Well..." Alexander did not want to crush Lily's confidence, but this was important; they needed to be thorough with every possible outcome. "Have you ever thought about what you would do if he doesn't use the original copy? He could always get someone to make a copy of your notes. By then, the handwriting style would differ from yours, and your markings would not be there either."

Lily nodded slightly. "You're right, but I have ways to deal with that too. I am confident to face this lawsuit because I know I won't lose!"

Her confident and determined expression left a profound impression on Alexander’s mind, and he loved that side of her. He loved this woman and was willing to trust everything she did.

The following day, Lily received strange gazes from everyone as soon as she arrived at the company, making her wonder if there was anything on her face. When she met Charles Thorn, the manager of the Human Resources Department, she finally got the answer to her doubts.
