Chapter 158

“Sure.” Lily made the decision. “Lily, I think we should reconsider this.” As Lily‘s superior officer, Jenny
believed it was her responsibility to remind her colleague to be careful. However, she could not reject
Lily‘s decision, seeing as how Lily was confident enough to the point where she was willing to use her
own salary for this matter.

“If you feel this decision is not suitable, I could purchase it with my own money under my name.”
Although Lily did not have much money with her now, she could borrow a little from a certain someone.

“Okay then.” At this point, Jenny stopped persuading Lily and turned to look at Ben. “You must give us
the most authentic and best ones you have. We don‘t want any low–quality goods, understand?”

“Don‘t worry about it. We can‘t do that even if we wanted to because we can‘t find low–quality ones to
replace them.”. This item was too unique, after all. They would need to breed these plants before using
low quality goods to replace the high–quality ones.

“That would be the best.”

The duo left the nursery after signing the contract and paying the deposit.

They saw a car similar to theirs at the entrance, but it was a different color. Lily and Jenny looked at the
other car as they got into theirs. Coincidentally, they saw Melanie exiting the car with Frank. She even
had her arms wrapped around his.

“Lily, get in the car and close the door. The b*tch is here,” Jenny, already seated in the car, said to Lily,
rendering Lily speechless. She did not know Jenny could be humorous too.

Sure enough, Melanie saw them. When she realized that Lily was getting into a Jeep Wrangler
Rubicon, all the resentment in her gaze almost transformed into sharp knives to stab Lily. However, the



driver took off quickly and left the parking lot, avoiding a confrontation between the two parties. Jenny
turned her head back to look at Melanie and found her still staring at their car with great bitterness.

Smiling, she shook her head. “Lily, did she snatch your boyfriend away from you, or was it the other
way around? She looks at you like you stole her boyfriend and killed her entire family.”

“I‘m not that bored nor that cruel,” Lily said.

“Haha! You‘re right. It‘s just that the way she looks at you would make people think like that. Why does
she hate you so much? She gives you death stares every time she sees you.”

Jenny joked. It was difficult for anyone to know Melanie’s exact feelings. Lily shook her head, not
knowing the answer to that as well. To be precise, Lily might never realize Melanie‘s hostility toward her
if she had not found out about Nathaniel‘s affair with Melanie.

Although Lily and Melanie were not close, some thought they were good friends since Lily disliked
social interactions and only had Melanie and Nathaniel by her side throughout her university years.

Nathaniel told Lily they needed a talent like Melanie for the company’s development. His iustification
was that Melanie knew how to manage public relations and conduct research, so she could even
accompany him to public events. Lily did not mind all that, and she believed she did not wrong Melanie,
so it was unclear where Melanie’s resentment toward her came from
