His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 58

The lawyer did not expect Lily to choose the impossible option without hesitation.

He was stunned for a moment before immediately adding, "Ms. Christian. I don't think you heard me correctly. You may be underestimating the severity and impact on your future. It won’t be just a simple apology if you lose the case. You'll have to pay a huge compensation and may face jail time. Therefore, I advise you to think clearly because Mr. Hall only asks for an apology..."

"Tell Nathaniel to stop daydreaming, or he might turn into an id*ot!” Lily interrupted the lawyer. "You said this is if I lose, but I don’t believe I will. See you in court!"

Lily hung up after saying her piece. How ridiculous! Was Nathaniel so sure he could bring her down with just those materials and so-called witnesses?

She remained in the shadows for so long because she willingly became the stepping stone for him to climb higher. Now that she would stand up for herself, she vowed never to be that pathetic self again.

Lily drove straight home, and unexpectedly, Alexander was already there. She thought he would be at the company right now.

It was apparent that Alexander had just returned

home. He had taken off his suit and tie but was still wearing his work shirt with the top button undone, exposing his sexy Adam's apple. Alexander had laid on the sofa, tablet in hand, and was looking at the screen with a frown.

"How come you're back so early today?” Lily bent down to change her shoes at the entrance and slid into her house slippers. "Have you had dinner? I'll cook something."

She wanted to go straight to the kitchen, but Alexander reached out and stopped her. "Not right now. Come here."

Lily turned her head and glanced at him. She had already rolled up her sleeves, but, seeing his unhappy face, she walked back to him.

"What's the matter? Did the company run into a problem?"

"How could I have a problem that I couldn't solve?" Alexander glanced at her, expressing his dissatisfaction with her question.
