Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

On the surface, Lily appeared to be a gentle person and a pushover. However, every word that she had just said was biting. It was true that Jenny wanted to make things difficult for Lily, but after being called out so blatantly by her, Jenny could not do it anymore.

“Three challenges!” Jenny bit her lip and yelled, “Since we‘re all equals, everyone who joined my project had to go through three challenges, so you‘ll do the same.” Lily stood up straight and nodded earnestly. “Okay! Since everyone here has done it, I‘ll do it as well. However, I‘d like to know what the second challenge is. Wait, or is it the first challenge? Since the one before might just be a trial run.”

Lily looked as if she was genuinely curious about the rules of the challenges, but in fact, she was making sure that Jenny could not impose any sudden changes. Initially, Jenny wanted to make the previous challenge a trial run, but after Lily called her out again, she decided against it.

“I‘ve already declared that you‘ve passed the first challenge. No one would suggest that it was just a trial run. What kind of company do you think we are?” Jenny snapped in annoyance.

“Of course, I think it‘s part of my company too!” Lily responded cheerily. “... All right, enough with the unnecessary flattering. It won‘t work on me. Don‘t forget that you still have two challenges to go, and they‘ll only get increasingly difficult. Don‘t come crying to me the next time you fail,” Jenny said forcefully.

“Don‘t worry, just like you, I‘ll honor our wager!” When Lily intentionally emphasized the word honor, Jenny‘s face darkened.

“All right, that‘s it for today!” As soon as Jenny announced the meeting to be over, everyone in the room scattered to gather their things and leave the room swiftly.
