Chapter 84
Nathaniel was surprised that the man was Lily‘s attorney and not who he had assumed.
“Lily, did you need to go to such extreme measures? Why can‘t we just sit and talk?” Nathaniel leaned forward and fixed his stare on Lily, waiting for a response.
Meanwhile, Lily kept her gaze on her phone and said inattentively, “Extreme? Didn‘t I agree to meet you? If this is extreme, what would you call your underhanded tactics? Besides, weren‘t you the one that sued me? Having a lawyer here as a witness would do more good than harm. Isn‘t that what you‘d prefer?”
“I told you we‘d drop the lawsuit. Why are you still being difficult? We were once schoolmates and friends. Even if we‘re not friends anymore, let‘s not be enemies,” Nathaniel was trying to talk sense into Lily, but she remained silent and continued using her phone. Melanie pursed her lips and persuaded gently, “Lily, I know you‘re still mad about Nate and me, but this was a matter of the heart. We couldn‘t help it. You were always busy at the lab,
and Nate needed someone who could be there for him. You shouldn‘t let your personal feelings affect your work. MN Inc. is a result of all our hard work. Do you want to destroy it just because of some personal issues?
“Do you realize how many problems the company must face simply because you‘re being unreasonable? Nate hasn‘t been eating or sleeping well lately. We don‘t know what kind of information Rebirth has been feeding you, but we‘re all still in the same industry. There might come a day when we‘ll have to work together, so why make this ugly?” Melanie pestered.
Lily continued to turn a deaf ear to Melanie. Instead, she turned toward James and said, ” James, please take note of what they‘ve said. We might be able to use it in court.”
