His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 65

"Let's fight then,” Melanie said with disregard. "We have enough evidence since I've already copied all the information, and we have a professional legal team. Why should we be afraid of her?”

Speaking of the information, Melanie lifted her hand and looked it over. "See? My hand is swollen and in pain! Why would I need to work so hard if it weren’t for her? Nate, we must ensure she doesn't have the upper hand. You must teach her a lesson this time! How could she treat you like this?"

Nathaniel pushed Melanie away when she leaned over, as he was not in the mood.

He was not as optimistic as she was. "I keep feeling that she has a trick up her sleeve. Why else would she insist on going to court when she knows all the evidence is in my hands?”

Melanie was stunned at his words but shook her head.

"Impossible. You're overthinking this. What trick could Lily have? We have the data, and the other employees are completely unfamiliar with her. I was right to do this back then. I told her to stay in the laboratory and not visit the headquarters often. It's also all over the Internet that she's the third wheel and stole the company's secret out of jealousy for me. What are you afraid of? We have everything in place!"

"Things aren’t that simple. You should know that she was the one who developed all our company’s products."

Melanie interjected, "You just think you can't lose her, right? If you like her so much, then you can go to her. I’ll leave. I’ll leave right now!"

Seeing Melanie unhappy, Nathaniel grabbed and pulled her into his arms. "What are you talking about? That’s not what I mean. Would I be in this situation if I liked her? Who am I doing this for, my little vixen?"

Nathaniel coaxed her while planting gentle kisses on her cheek. Melanie turned around and kissed him passionately. They only pulled away after a long time.

Melanie laid softly in his arms. "I don't like you mentioning her. She had claimed ownership of you for so many years. I'm jealous. Why can’t I be jealous?"
