EnglishStoryChapter 67 “Lily, what are you going to do?” Olivia turned to ask, “They're slandering you like this. Even some of your college classmates joined in. | don‘t understand. They're your classmates. Even if they are not your friends, they can't just spread nonsense like this!” “You can't blame them. After all, | wasn't close to my classmates at that time. I'm afraid not many people know about Nathaniel and me.” Lily said lightly.

Later, when she had the “incident,” Nathaniel never gave up on her. Maybe she felt touched and fell for him, or maybe it was something else. Lily and Nathaniel quickly warmed up their relationship. She was willing to stand on the sidelines, to be the woman behind him, just immersed in the laboratory day and night. There was nothing else in her life but him and work.
At that time, she fell head over heels for him. Coupled with the downfall in her career, she was very unsure of herself. Now that she had calmed down, looking back, it all seemed like a trap to her.
“Is that so...” Olivia frowned and bit the spoon lightly, “Then, is there no one who knows about your relationship? Besides me, apart from the three of you, is there anyone else? Any mutual friend?” Lily said nothing and shook her head gently.

People were slandering Lily, yet she could not clear her name. How unfair was that?! “Don‘t you think everyone has gone a bit off the track?” Lily took a sip of coffee and said calmly, “Between MN Inc and |, the biggest problem now should be about the authorship and ownership of First Love. My relationship with Nathaniel is our private matter, and there is no need for others* finger-pointing. Why does Nathaniel want to expose this matter? Is it only because he wants to go public with Melanie?” Frowning her brows and pondering for a while, Olivia pounded the table with one hand, “I see! Nathaniel is doing this to divert everyone's attention to the gossip, so they ignore the copyright issue.” “No!” Lily chuckled as she looked at the sunny weather outside the window. She was immersed in the laboratory for too long and had not seen such good weather in a long time.
“It's for the chain reaction on the public perception. Mel and Nate are smearing my name like this to affect everyone's impression of me. They want others to think I'm someone who would get involved in other people's relationships and snatch other people's things.
“Il inust be jealous of Melanie because I'm not as good as her in everything, so | deliberately want to take her achievement away.
Because of this, | stole the company's secrets and her ideas. It sounds reasonable, and everyone would believe it without any evidence. Because, after all, | am the ‘side piece, am | not?” Olivia was stunned for a while, and then she said, “That's vicious!” “It's just some little tricks.” With a smile, Lily looked back and said, “These are all irrelevant. If | win this lawsuit, | will clear my name, and everything will be all right. Everything else is. just secondary.” Initially, Olivia thought this matter would be complicated, but after hearing Lily's words, it seemed very simple. However, Olivia still didn‘t know what Lily was going to do.
“But the evidence...” “The reason why evidence is called evidence is that it exists objectively. Nathaniel thinks he has all the evidence because he took away my notes and all the materials. However, the most vital evidence is here!” Lily pointed at her head and laughed, “He can't take this away.”
