Chapter 519
“I–Is that...” Jenny still found it unbelievable even though the answer was right before her eyes. “I–It‘s
you?!”
“What‘s wrong? Why can it be me?” Lily felt amused by her reaction. She might have considered telling
Jenny about this earlier if she knew low interesting Jenny‘s reaction would be.
“No. That‘s not it. I– It‘s....” Jenny found it difficult to accept this sudden turn of events. “Is it genuinely
you?! Didn‘t the rumors say that...”
“Lily and Mr. Russell visited me at the hospital that day, but all my attention was on my mother at that
time. There‘s a problem with the angle in this photo. It‘s an optical illusion due to misplacement. That‘s
why it caused such a misunderstanding,” Olivia explained. She felt sad again at the mention of her
mother.
“Oh right, it‘s as you say if I look at it this way!” Jenny felt there was indeed a problem with the angle of
the photo after scrutiny. “These reporters are so clumsy. They didn‘t get the facts right before spreading
gossip. I almost made a joke out of myself!”
Lily gently placed her hand on Olivia‘s shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Even though her mother‘s incident caused her to feel sad, many days have passed since then. Olivia
had learned how to stay strong. She only felt a little sad and did not immerse herself in
grief.
Lily did not understand why Brittany misunderstood the person to be Olivia. However, she could
somewhat understand it after she saw the photo. It seemed like Olivia took the blame for her this time.
“You hid this secret so well!” Jenny slapped Lily‘s shoulder after she understood the whole matter.
“When did you get together? Why did you not tell me?! Oh, you knew about it, too? When did you
know? How could both of you lide it from me?!” Jenny was angry and crossed her arms. Olivia hurriedly
replied, “I just found out about it not too long ago. I didn‘t hide it from you on purpose. It‘s just that...”
She stopped lialfway, as she did not know how to explain it. Then she glanced at Lily. “This is my fault. I
don‘t want to disclose our relationship because of Alex‘s identity.” Lily continued after a brief pause,
“You should be able to understand. There were a lot of rumors when I just joined Rebirth. If we made
our relationship public, I wouldn‘t have been able to work in peace.”
There were still many doubts about Lily even now. However, it was of no importance any longer as she
no longer minded it. She had proven hier ability, won an international award, and gained recognition
from Mr. Parker. All of these gave Lily great encouragement. She wanted to achieve better results with
her own hands and abilities.
“Ah... that‘s true,“Jenny recalled her doubts about Lily at that time and came to understand her
reasons. She had firmly rejected Lily then, and so did others. “Still, if you had made your relationship
public earlier, you would‘ve had an easier path. Some may question it, but no one would dare to find
fault with you.”
Even if Jenny were unwilling to accept Lily then, she would still let Lily in as someone significant
supported her from behind the scenes. However, she would not be assigned any vital work, and others
would treat her as an idler in the company.
Lily smiled and said, “Yes, that‘s right. While it‘s true that no one would dare find fault with me, at the
same time, no one would dare to use me. I knew you wouldn‘t have let me into the laboratory, Jenny.
Even if you somehow did, you wouldn‘t have handed me any projects. Am I right?”
Her words were the same as Jenny‘s thoughts. Jenny laughed along, “It‘s good that you know that.”
They had gotten along for a long time, after all. Jenny knew Lily‘s capability and talent. Therefore, even
if she knew about her relationship with Alexander, she would not assume that Lily relied on
relationships. “This news genuinely surprised me. Mr. Will knows about this, too, right?” Jenny felt
emotional, but she gradually digested the fact and accepted it. Lily nodded. “So, I was the only one in
the dark?!” Jenny reigned her anger.
