Chapter 31

Nathaniel took the lead in turning the microphone to his side to strike preemptively, “Of course, it’s not
considered stealing.

In any case, Lily is a member of our company.

She has worked as Ms.

Thayer's assistant and has participated in creating fragrances to some extent for many years.

"I don't want to define it as stealing or plagiarism this time because it sounds atrocious.

I can only say that in this society, in our industry, it is understandable that we can’t control everything.

We are willing to give Lily a chance, and we hope MN Inc.

can bring us better compositions in the future." Nathaniel had some experience socializing and dealing
with the media over the years.

His remarks were neither humble nor arrogant, snobby but sincere.

He understood and protected the employees who betrayed his company.

The reporters felt moved while casting a contemptuous look toward Lily.

The current situation was apparent.

It was clear that Lily was unwilling to be an assistant and then stole the company’s results and resold
themto other companies.

She wanted to seek refuge but never expected to fail.



The situation had already gone off the beam, but MN Inc.

was still willing to protect her.

However, a small number of people also noticed certain loopholes.

A reporter stood up to ask a question, "Lily said before that she is not an employee of your company
andhas not signed a contract." Others assumed Nathaniel had considered this issue before, so he
calmly said smilingly, "Yes, I admit that it was the company's omission.

Of course, it's not that we didn't want to sign the contract.

However, if you didn't know, Lily and I are university classmates.

We are all friends, so we didn't think about the contract so thoroughly.

“I also transfer her salary directly to her.

I admit it is my mistake, and we have prepared a contract with excellent terms.

I believe MN Inc.

will have a brighter future after this misunderstanding!” The crowd gave warm applause shortly after.

Nathaniel was secretly relieved, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The situation would have worsened if it were not for his quick response.

He could not even wipe the sweat off his forehead before another reporter stood up and asked, “Ms.

Christian, don't you think you should make a public apology for this incident? Also, does the freshman
know the realstory behind this? If they don't know about it, what will you tell them? Is this considered



fraud? Will the freshman sue you?" The reporters' questions were getting increasingly intense, and
their gazes toward Lily were particularly piercing.

Nathaniel wiped his forehead.

"That's..." Nathaniel was about to speak when Lily took the microphone away, held it in her hand, and
stood up slowly.

“Those are excellent questions.

I’ll answer your first question first.

I don't think I need to apologize because I don't need to.” Her voice was crystal clear as she
emphasized every word.

Everyone present heard it, and there was an uproar.

After all, everyone agreed with what Nathaniel said before and even decided this was the case.

The crowd despised Lily when she said she did not feel the need to apologize.

They even thought she was refusing to admit her mistakes.

"How shameless!" "How could she say such a thing!" "Exactly!" There was a slight commotion below
the stage.

Although the voices were quite soft, Lily could still hear them.

Still, she did not get angry, and her cheeks did not even blush.

She clenched the microphone and calmly scanned the crowd.



“I’d like to chime in on this.

Firstly, ‘First Love ‘is my creation.

My assistant and I took three months to fine-tune this product.

Secondly, my creations include most of MN Inc.'s perfumes besides ‘First Love.
