Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193

Nothing was set in stone, after all, and one must be smart enough to think outside the box and find other ways to deal with life.

‘I should stop playing defensively and strike back whenever someone provokes me. It’s about time I retaliate and show those two I’m not someone to be trifled withi.’

When Alexander arrived home, the sight of Lily lying on lier stomach on the couch welcomed him. Her laptop was in front of her as her fingers gracefully typed away on her keyboard. Lily crossed her calves mid-air while focusing all her attention on the screen. It was rare to see Lily working on her laptop at home in such a position. Alexander put down his things and changed into liis house slippers before peeking over to see what Lily was doing She had several tabs on her screen, registering for a troll account on a certain website.

“What’s up?” Alexander went to pour luimself a glass of water and brought one for Lily as well.

Lily adjusted her posture and sat cross-legged with her laptop on her thighs. She reached for the glass and took a sip, but hier gaze remained fixed on the screen. “Someone wants to play, so I have no choice but to play along.” Considering Lily’s expression and tone, Alexander knew someone had made her unhappy. “Who has such power to anger my dear Lily?” Alexander said as he unbuttoned the two top buttons of his dress shirt, allowing himself to relax after a tense day at work. In the past, he felt the same regardless if he returned home or stayed out the entire night. This house was just a place for him to sleep, after all. However, since they married, he had expectations of building a home with Lily. He looked forward to returning home to see her, hear her voice, or talk to her about all sorts of things that affected their emotions during the day. ‘She looks confident, so I guess she won’t need my help

“Who else would it be other than that j*rk?” Lily said without looking up. After putting down her glass, she continued typing on her keyboard.

That made Alexander raise his brow before sitting next to her. He noticed she had logged into her troll account and posted the perfume formulas. He squinted and thought, ‘Those are indeed the perfume formulas. She’s leaking business secrets.

“Are those the perfume formulas you created back in MN Inc.?” Alexander instantly figured out what Lily was doing

“You’re tight. Nate started this. I didn’t want to do this initially, but I had no choice since they kept pushing us into dead ends.” Lily pressed enter on her keyboard and finally heaved a sigli of relief. Then she placed her laptop next to her as if she had completed her task.

“What if he sues you? Have you thought about that?” “It’s not like Nate hadn’t done that before,” Lily calmly continued, “The formulas belong to me, and this time, someone ‘hacked’ into my email to leak some of the things they found. What would that have to do with me since MN Inc. had announced to the world that Melanie had created those formulas?

“To the netizens, I was just someone who did administrative work, and they would think I had no way to access the company’s business secrets. Also, I leaked more than one formula.”

Alexander pondered before saying, “What if they say you stole the formulas when you were still an MN Inc, employee?” One must always plau carefully and consider die opponent’s every move. Then one could predict and counter the opponent’s retallation, pushing them into a dead end and leaving them to Way to salv.ge the situation.

“Would they have proof?” Lily sliruered indifferently. “Nate will need evidence if he wants to sue me I hadn’t signed any contracts since I started working there. He loves using contracts to threaten me Bring it on.

“I’m not even their employee, so how could I access their business secrets? If I could do that so easily, it’ll prove how bad their security is, and they should shut down their business.”

Lily was right; everything needed evidence in the court of law. Nathaniel would not have withdrawn the previous lawsuit if he were confident enough.
