Chapter 408


    Besides Lily, Nathaniel was also in the dark about what happened.


    All he knew was that Mnie and Frank had left for Westwood and nothing else.


    Mnie had stopped talking to him ever since her affair with Frank was exposed, and Nathaniel did not


    attempt to find out anything further.


    Truth be told, he did not care to.He did not care about Mnie''s fate until MN Inc"s new products were


    involved.


    Since Nathaniel and Mnie were still together at the time, the two fragrances were released under her


    name.


    Besides, even if she cheated on him, it did not matter as long as the perfumes they made were


    qualified to join the perfume championship.


    Nathaniel had weighed his options and decided to keep her products, but this news from Alexander


    changed everything.


    "What do you mean? How is Mel a mastermind behind a kidnapping? That’s impossible!"


    Though he was no longer involved with Mnie, he was still confident that he knew her enough to


    know she would not do something like this.It was true that Mnie was maniptive and materialistic.


    However, she would not daremit serious crimes like kidnapping or covering up for a drug addict.


    ‘Who was the drug addict anyway?’ Nathaniel wondered.


    "Instead of thinking about things that don’t belong to you, pay more attention to the news, especially


    international ones, to get information about our industry,"


    Alexander said mockingly, "It’s up to you whether or not to listen.I’m just giving you some advice out of


    goodwill."


    "Shall we leave?"


    Alexander asked Lily after he was done talking.


    Alexander turned to her as his gazended on her gently.His attention was solely on her, and he did


    not care to look around him.


    It was as if nothing else mattered but her.


    There was no more reason for Lily to continue staying here.


    Alexander''s presence proved to Nathaniel that she would not return to him better than any exnation


    or rejection.


    From Nathaniel’s expression, Lily could tell he got a rude awakening.


    "Okay,"


    Lily nodded and stood up under his care.


    Alexander ced his coat over her and left while ignoring Nathaniel, who was still stunned.


    After taking a few steps, Alexander suddenly remembered something and turned around.


    "By the way, at least have the decency of footing the bill.After all, you''re the one who invited Lily out,


    right?"


    Lily was surprised when Alexander turned back because she thought he had something important to


    say to Nathaniel.


    Lily almost burst outughing when she heard what Alexander said instead.She tried hard to hold in


    herughter until they got downstairs.


    Alexander nced at her and said, "Justugh if you want to."


    Lily finally cracked up, иσν???вσσк.￠σughing so hard that tears almost flowed down her cheeks.


    "My appearance delighted you that much, huh?"


    Alexander asked gently, "If I knew you''d be this happy, I would’ve appeared sooner, or maybe I should


    do that next time?"


    Lily shook her head, "I thought you’d pay for the meal instead."

    She knew that Alexander was a generous person and paying for that meal was nothing to him.


    "He was the one who asked you out, so why should I pay? He should be grateful that I did not order


    anything else," Alexander smirked.


    Alexander was right, and Lily chuckled as she thought of the look on Nathaniel''s face when he had to


    pay the bill.


    Alexander knew exactly how to tick people off.


    "What was that about Mnie’s case? I thought you said you didn’t have anything to do with it?" Lily


    asked, looking at him with an ‘I know you were involved’ look.
