Nathaniel was not kidding. Soon, he put up a lawyer‘s letter on the company homepage in which he threatened legal action against Lily, demanded an apology, and sought compensation for the company‘s financial losses.
Not only was the letter posted on MN Inc.‘s website, but platforms such as Twitter and Reddit all had the sstatement. MN Inc. appeared to be taking this seriously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGiven that MN Inc. was taking such a firm stance while Rebirth was utterly silent, the public opinion quickly becone–sided.
Although the press conference events were bewildering, and speople had begun to believe in Lily‘s innocence, they soon changed their minds after reading MN Inc.‘s statement.
If Rebirth was innocent, why were they silent? Why did Lily fail to produce any favorable evidence?
Faced with MN Inc.‘s accusation, Lily maintained a low profile, but she answered by reposting MN Inc.‘s statement and lawyer‘s letter with the caption, “Bring it on.”
The caption seemed understated but was filled with contempt as if she was not taking MN Inc.‘s threats seriously. Her response quickly becviral and was even trending at one point. Typically, the perfindustry was not particularly popular. Aside from new releases or celebrity endorsements, cosmetics and fragrances hardly appear on the trending lists.
However, due to the scandal and the feud, their news was often trending on social media. Many online users claimed never to have seen such outrageous plagiarism. Both sides refused to admit it, and both maintained their innocence. It was challenging to discern the truth.

Olivia had invented an excuse to go on vacation at the time. She switched off her mobile phone and was using a separate personal phone instead. When Olivia eventually turned on her mobile phone upon returning, she discovered a barrage of messages urging her to cancel her leave and return to work. One can imagine how many missed calls she had received. Of course, Olivia could guess why they wanted her to cback.
“It‘s not that I‘m afraid of implicating you, but I don‘t need it now.” After a pause, Lily continued, “Don‘t worry. If I need your help, I‘ll let you know.”
Olivia could only nod, “Okay, then please take care.”
Olivia admired and trusted Lily. After being by her side for so long, her talent in perfumery impressed Olivia, but this was different. After all, Nathaniel was the company‘s president, and everyone in the company must listen to him. Lily had spent all those years in the laboratory and rarely dealt with the other staff of the company. Thus, she was the only one who could prove that the perfumes were indeed Lily‘s creations.
To make matters worse, Lily had less to work with in terms of witnesses and physical evidence because of the materials MN Inc. had stolen. It was a mystery to Olivia where Lily got her confidence now. Did it cfrom Rebirth?
