His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 5

"In the spirit of fairness, we've decided to postpone awarding to the top three. Instead, we'll announce them after some investigation."

When the host said that, Nathaniel and everyone else were in an uproar.

"Why must they postpone the award ceremony? It's unfair to everyone!"

"The judges should disqualify both companies since they're involved in a controversy!"

"Hey, tell us the names of the two companies!"

Various comments were on the scene, and the reporters were even more excited. Initially, everyone thought the competition would go on without a hitch and did not expect any complications, so there would be no concerning headlines the following day.

Still, Nathaniel was sure his company would be fine, so he confidently stepped forward and raised his voice, "You guys are right! Given the situation, the organizing committee should disclose the results right now. I believe the representatives of the two suspected companies are present so we, as their peers, can witness their unjustness. Won't that be more convincing?!"

Compared to the bustling scene on the screen, Alexander's attention was on the woman beside him.

Lily held a wine glass in her hand but did not take a sip, and her lips kept an indifferent smile.

After so many years, Lily finally belonged to him. Alexander had waited for three years. He always thought a sc*mbag like Nathaniel did not deserve Lily.

He would be the first to object if Lily and Nathaniel were to get married. However, the two had hit a crossroad on their own, which saved Alexander the trouble. Still, things had to happen this way because Lily could not see who the real Nathaniel was.

Lily and Nathaniel had been together for so long, and Lily had become timid and cautious. She even started speaking softly like a mouse. But at that moment, sitting before the screen, Lily became confident again, and her determined eyes proved that she had not changed. She was still the arrogant girl behind the scenes.

"I'm heading out.” Lily put her wine glass down and looked back at Alexander.

Alexander nodded. "Remember, I'm here."

Although Lily did not intend to let Alexander take action personally, his words made her feel relieved. She nodded gratefully, opened the door to the VIP room, and walked out.

The venue was still chaotic as Nathaniel took the lead in prolonging the disorder. He was the person who shouted the most among the crowd. Meanwhile, Melanie could not hide her complacency. She had never stood so close to Nathaniel before this and became the focus of everyone’s attention.

The host's brows furrowed until someone ran up to the stage and whispered in his ear. The host relaxed, turned to Nathaniel, and said, "We wanted to be discreet about the plagiarists for the sake of sportsmanship, but since everyone strongly demands we reveal the suspects' names, the organizing committee will disclose the two companies and their competition entries publicly."

"A plagiarist is a thief that does not deserve anyone's respect! We should curse and exile these scoundrels!" Nathaniel excitedly exclaimed. He thought he was certainly not the person in question.
