He gave a very understated account of the situation. Indeed, she triumphed brilliantly. He was nearly
killed, and the bodyguards were battered so severely they could not stand. That was also why he would
not just provoke or grab Lily.
Obviously, he could not go around telling people about his embarrassing experience, but his mother‘s
remarks yesterday helped him overcome his pride.
If she were related to the Lodge family in Brown City in any way, everything would make sense. It
would be no surprise that she excelled in kickboxing and also found it so simple to transition into
Rebirth after leaving MN Inc. It made more sense if the Lodge family were her backers, and they
helped her get in through their connections.
Melanie did not know his thoughts, let alone Lily‘s relationship with the Lodge family. She was still
coming to terms with the fact that Lily knew kickboxing. Besides feeling shocked, Melanie was angry
and jealous. Not only was Lily skilled and talented in making perfume, but she was also very skilled in
kickboxing.
How could she disregard Frank‘s status and beat him up as she pleased while Melanie had to be afraid
of Frank? Melanie was forced to play along with Frank to the point that she almost had a miscarriage.
How come Lily could do whatever she liked? This world was so unfair.
“I knew Lily was not that simple! She might look like a pure and innocent flower who silently sacrificed
herself for others, but who knows what weird things she knows? How can a woman be so skilled in
kickboxing? This is probably some sorcery!”
Melanie continued as she felt what she said was a fact, “Now that I think about it, it‘s fortunate that
you‘ve left her, Nate. Otherwise, who knows how else she might have deceived you!”
He would agree that what Melanie said was right in the past. With what he knew now about the
relationship between Lily and the Lodge family, it seemed that Lily sacrificed a lot for him and was very
tolerant.
Lily could join any big company if she relied on the Lodge family‘s power. She did not need to stay in
his small startup company to accompany him in building a business. He knew her ability very well. Had
it not been for his and Melanie‘s tricks, she would not have been laughed at and joked about. She
would not have felt frustrated and depressed. Nathaniel realized how wrong he was when he looked
back now,
When he heard Melanie say he was cheated on, he could not help but laugh. He looked at her and
asked, “Tell me, what did she lie to me about?”
“She lied to you...”
“Did she cheat my money or play with my feelings?” He continued asking.
“Nate...” Melanie could not answer. She did not expect Nathaniel to disagree with her words. He even
questioned her. This caught Melanie off guard, and she did not know how to handle the situation.
“You‘ve been by my side for a long time, Mel. You should know best. When Lily started going out with
me, I didn‘t have this company yet. There wouldn‘t be an MN Inc. today without her perfumes and
formulas. The houses and cars are bought after that. Why don‘t you tell me what she lied to me about?”
Melanie was utterly stunned. How could he suddenly think so clearly?
“What do you mean? Are you saying she was good to you while I‘m lying to you?”
She could not refute it and started to cry, “I know you hate me now. You don‘t listen to anything I say,
and everything I do is wrong. Lily is kind to you and sacrificed a lot for you. You realized the good in her
and regretted letting her go. You want to go to lier, right? Fine!I'll fulfill your wishes. You can go to her!
You have been hospitalized for so many days. Has she visited you? Did she call you? She‘d blocked
your phone and contact number, right?”
“That‘s because I have hurt her.” He said with a sigh.
