"Let go of me, Nate!" Lily said coldly.
"What do you mean by that? Be more specific!" Nathaniel refused to let her go quickly. He still had a lot of questions that needed answers.
"Your current behavior is considered harassment. Mr. Hall, I advise you to let-" Lucas spoke, but Nathaniel interjected by thundering, "Shut up! Lily, you better clarify yourself. Did you do something to the formula? Is it fake?!” Nathaniel glared at Lily. He felt a chill run down his spine with that possibility in mind.
Lily did not answer. Instead, she stared at Nathaniel's hand, holding onto her. Then she said coldly, "I will say this one last time. Let go, or I will end things like before."
Her words made Nathaniel recall the incident in the alley as he immediately released Lily. He still remembered being surprised by Lily's fighting skills, speed, and strength.
"Mr. Hall, I will dislocate your arm if you dare touch me like this again!" Lily looked at Nathaniel in disgust as she wiped her arm that Nathaniel grabbed with a wet tissue after he let go of her. Afterward, she threw the used tissue into the nearby trash bin and left.
Melanie returned to her senses when she saw Lily leaving and expressed dissatisfaction, "Why did you
let her go? How could she just leave when she hasn’t made things clear? When did you start listening to her?! Did you forget the company's current predicament?! She must have changed the formula.
"What the hell are you doing?! Why didn't you ask her for the real formula? Do you hear me talking to you? Nate, you are still in love with her, aren’t you?! Tell me! Also, what does she mean like last time? What secret are you keeping from me? Answer me, answer me, Nate!" Melanie's heart was full of speculation, and she became even more annoyed when Nathaniel kept silent. She kept tugging his sleeve and became increasingly angry over time.
"All right already! Shut up! This is all your fault. If you weren't so useless, I wouldn't have to beg her like that!" Nathaniel's mind was in turmoil, and he got even more annoyed when Melanie threw a tantrum. He immediately shook her hand off his sleeve.
Melanie was stunned at his words.
