Chapter 485: I Will Be Responsible for It
When Lily hears that, she instantly understands that someone was interfering in it and has tried to
prevent Danica froming back.
They don''t want Danica to testify for her in court.
To think about what has happened in the detention room, Lily can guess the person behind it and says,
"I see. Help me call Miss Gibson back and thank her for rushing back for me. Tell her she can go back
now, because I''m fine now."
E nods, "I have contacted the director of the Egret Company and more than a dozen press offices.
The press conference will be held at 2 p.m. in the conference room. Is that fine with your, President
Lily?"
"Sure. I''ll be there at two o''clock on time."
After E leaves, Lily opens the food boxes. While she is eating warm noodles with shredded meat, her
stomach feels much better.
But as she eats, she cannot help but remember the noodles with shredded meat that Louis specially
cooked for her the other day.
Although the noodles did not look delicious and was quite salty, she still felt that it was delicious.
Because that was the first time Louis had ever cooked. It was already good enough for him to cook a
bowl of noodles with shredded meat like that.
And he specially cooked it for her.
Thinking about that episode, Lily feels disturbed.
She forces herself to think about something else. She takes out her phone, finds the number of the
private detective, and dialed it.
About ten secondster, the call is put through.
"Ms. Lily." The private detective greets Lily and asks jokingly, "I heard that the HS Company was sued
by a smallpany. Maybe you want me to investigate thatpany for you?"
Lily swallows down the food in her mouth before she says, "I can solve that problem today. I''m calling
to ask you to help me dig out somebody''s inglorious stories."
"Who is it? Youpany''s rival?"
"Someone from the Lou family."
The private detective does not reply immediately this time.
After keeping quiet for a whole minute, the private detective hinted Lily, "Ms. Lily, I''m just doing this to
make a living. I don''t want to risk everything I have for my work."
"I know, but I won''t let you take that big a risk."
On her way to thepany, Lily has already made a n. She says, "Just go to do your investigation,
and I''ll handle the other things. I will also help you obtain the citizenship of Country Y in addition to
paying you with money."
"Really?" The private detective cannot believe his ears, "It''s not easy to apply for the citizenship of
Country Y. Ms. Lily, can you really do that for me?"
Lily says confidently, "Yes, send the information to me by email. I will help you get the citizenship in a
month at thetest. If something really happens to you during your investigation, I will be responsible
for it. They won''t have the courage to do anything to you."
The private detective was still quiet.
After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Good. If you can help me change my
nationality, I will help you investigate the Lou family. I''ll let you know as soon as I find something."
Lily''s eyebrows are no longer furrowed as she says, "Thank you then. I''ll pay the money to your
ount as usual."
"It''s a deal!"
Shortly after hanging up the phone, Lily receives an email. It is the personal information the private
detective has sent her.
After reading it, she directly sends the information to Victor and asks him to help her.
Since Mrs. Lou even dares to have someone harm Lily and her children openly in the detention room,
Lily will never swallow the humiliation silently.
Victor texts back and asks Lily if that is urgent.
After Lily tells him that it is urgent, Victor replies that he will find someone to help her through his
private connection, and half a month will be enough if everything goes smoothly.
Lily thanks him sincerely.
Victor texts back, "Ms. Lily, the person you should thank is Mr. John. I never deny your request
because Mr. John values you."
Lily texts, "Amanda told me he''s back in Yorkshire, isn''t he?"
While she was in the detention room, Amanda told Lily that she had told John about the whole thing
before she went there. John should be on his way to Yorkshire, but Lily did not see John when she got
out.
Lily is afraid that Jonathan will do something to John secretly, so she doesn''t want him toe back for
her.
But after she tells Victor about that, he does not text back.
Lily reads the text for public rtions which she will be using at the press conference as she waits for
Victor''s reply.
She wonders if Victor doesn''t have time to text her back because he is busy in Country R.
After a long time, the phone on Lily''s table rings.
It is E on the phone, "President Lily, the press is here. Are you ready?"
"Yes, I''ll be right there."
Lily puts her mobile phone into the drawer and picks up her suit jacket on the chair.
Several days ago, she has ordered two loose suits at a studio so that she can still look the same as
before in formal asions.
She cannot wear casual clothes in today''s asion.
She goes to the bathroom to take a look. Seeing that the suit jacket covers her belly well, she finally
feels more reassured and heads out.
E is already waiting for her by the elevator.
After Lily gets there, E presses the elevator button.
E looks at Lily and says, "President Lily, I feel that you are different from before."
Lily''s eyebrows twitch because Lily thinks that E has noticed her pregnant belly. Lily says "Is my suit
not nice enough?"
"It''s not about the suit." E thinks for a moment and says, "President Lily, you didn''t use to be so
confident. You looked a bit sentimental in the past, but now you look like you''re fearless."
So that is what E has noticed.
Lily goes into the elevator with her assistant.
She curls her lips into a smile and replies tonelessly, "Because I''ve learned that fear cannot solve any
problem. It''s better to put on a confident look and show others that I''m strong."
The more she gives in, the harder those people will try to attack her.
It is better to just face them directly.
E leads Lily to the conference room.
As soon as Lily pushes the door of the conference room open, she sees that the room is crowded with

journalists.
Two men are sitting on the stage. One of them is answering the journalists'' questions confidently.
E nces at the stage and immediately says to Lily, "I''m sorry, President Lily. I''ve asked them to sit
on the stage first, but I didn''t expect that they would do this before the beginning time..."
"It doesn''t matter. I know the journalists can''t sit still or remain quiet." Lily doesn''t care about it, "Did you
bring the document I need?"
E shows her the file pocket and says, "Yes, it''s all in here."
"Great." Then Lily steps into the conference room without hesitation and puts on a faint and polite smile
on her face.
"I''m really sorry for asking you all toe to the HS Company at this time."
The moment she speaks, all the journalists immediately fix their eyes on her and aim their cameras at
her.
Lily always keeps a low profile, and she is still like that after she bes the vice president of the HS
Company.
Even many insiders have not heard of the new vice president of the HS Company. The Egret Company
has also only used the HS Company of copying theirpany''s product in an announcement ten
days ago.
After looking into it, the journalists have finally figured out that the HS Company''s new vice president is
a woman.
Later, another scandal about the female vice president has been exposed. She is used of
murdering a pregnant woman, which pushes the whole thing to a new high.
The journalists all want to see the HS Company''s new female vice president badly. When they learn
that she is going to hold a press conference, they do not hesitate to bring their equipment here.
The lights sh continually around Lily.
A journalist has seen Lily''s face clearly and recognized her. He says in surprise, "I remember her. She
used to be the acting president of the Smith Group. She is very capable. Why is she here in the HS
Company?"
"I also find her face familiar. Is she that Ms. Lily who has an affair with Mr. Smith?"
"It must be her!"
They keep discussing about Lily.
After they learn that Lily has worked for the Smith Group before and she has an affair with Louis, they
crowd around Lily to ask questions, as if they have spotted a gold mine.
The journalists'' sharp questions echo in Lily''s ears. Lily finds those journalists too noisy.
She winks at E and a security guard.
After the journalists are forced to keep a distance from her, Lily says calmly, "Good afternoon,
everyone. I''m holding this press conference to rify that the HS Company has never copied any
product of the Egret Company."
