Chapter 687


    The forensic department''s autopsy report was final, and there was no more dispute about Wilfred’s


    death. Soon after, the Lodge family finally buried Wilfred’s body.


    After settling his funeral, Lily wanted to discuss the issue about Henry with Justin, but she was


    astounded when her name once again became a hot topic on the inte. This time it was not good.


    The post consisted of her voice recording. The recording only contained a short part of what she had


    said in the Lodge family meeting, exining that she could easily mix poisonous content into her


    perfumes.


    The recording created waves ofmotion on the inte. Lily’s name was among the most searched


    on Twitter, which slowed their servers down for a moment. This issue stirred up a considerable ruckus


    everywhere because it was too controversial.


    Who would still dare consume Lily''s products if she could add dangerous substances to her


    fragrances? No one in their right mind would still want to use perfumes, essential oils, or scented

    candles that were not deemed safe.


    The news quickly got out of hand, and Alexander wanted to get his PR team to deal with it, but Lily


    stopped him.


    “This is a conspiracy. Since this issue has blown up, the public will be watching us. If you suppress the


    news now, it will only lead to more criticism, and the public will think I''ve done it.””


    Lily continued, “Since this has already gotten out of hand, let''s just leave it. Besides, if they''re willing to


    spend money to ensure I''m top of the list on Twitter, let them be. It''s not every day that I can end up as


    the most popr topic on the inte.”


    Alexander was surprised. Lily was taking this much better than he had expected.


    “However…..” Lily paused and looked at Alexander apologetically.


    “ Although this news is entirely untrue, this will still affect Rebirth and La Beaute Group''s reputation,


    and I''m truly sorry about that. I promise this will die down very soon,” she guaranteed.


    Alexander took her hands and said softly, “Stop being silly. There''s no need for apologies. Remember


    that we''re a team. Anyway, do you think I''m scared of such a pathetic scheme?”


    His confidence rendered Lily speechless, but she had to admit that he had the right to boast. Alexander


    was the director and the head of La Beaute Group, and it was only natural that he had faced many


    challenges and conspiracies to get to where he was today. It was no surprise that he was not at all


    intimidated by such a minor issue.


    “I think I know who''s behind this, but I never expected them even to reach the Lodge family members,”


    Lily remarked. It was not challenging to deduce, even though it looked like Henry was responsible for


    the family''smotion. However, he could not have done it without external help. Aside from the Light-


    Shadow Killers assisting Henry, Nathaniel also yed an unknown part in thismotion.


    Although Lily could take photos of Nathaniel and Henry meeting, because they were too far away, she


    could not hear what they were saying. Her rtionship with Nathaniel had already taken a turn for the


    worst, so it was not surprising that he wanted revenge.


    Firstly, it was evident Henry was not the one who leaked the recording, as he was still being held


    somewhere. Secondly, since the recording included Henry’s voice, he would not have risked exposing


    himself.


    “Mr. Russell, there’s a phone call for you,” Edward answered a call and walked over to pass it to


    Alexander after saying a few words into the phone.
