Olivia said, sighing, "You’re right, but the rules of the industry have always been so."
"Rules are made to be broken!"
Lily straightened up and slammed her desk.
"I never wanted to interfere with them, but if they want to get serious on this, I’ll fight back."
"But the company..."
Jenny hesitated and shook her head.
"Well, never mind.Mr.Russell will be on your side."
Lily shook her head.
"No, this is my own doing.If it gets the company into trouble, I'll quit."
She did not have much faith in herself before this, but after more than a year’s worth of experience, she

Jenny patted Lily’s shoulder.
Olivia patted her other shoulder.
"Yeah, mine too!"
"Thank you, guys."

Meanwhile, Derrick felt better at the hospital and allowed Joseph to see him.
However, Derrick still did not look so well.
"Are you getting better?" Joseph asked, concerned.
"Trying to stay alive for now."
Derrick coughed a few times and gestured for his wife to prop up his pillow.
Sitting up, he looked weak and tired.
Joseph studied his expression carefully and felt that his elder brother would not have much longer to

"Stop saying stuff like that.You’re just ill and will leave here as soon as you recover.You still have many

With a concerned look, Joseph took a seat on a stool beside the bed.
Derrick threw him a languid glance and sighed.
"I know my body better than anyone else.How’s the company lately?"
"Everything's been fine and normal.Why? Haven’t Shawn and Carson reported to you?"
Joseph referred to the two old-timer stockholders in charge of the company's primary operations for the

Joseph was surprised and chuckled as he replied, "Yes, Damian's in charge of that, but I’ve asked
others to guide him since he’s still young.So far, the project has progressed quite well, and the new
perfumes will be on the market soon.Hopefully, they will do well in sales."
He spoke happily, unable to hide his joy.
"That’s good.I’m getting older and weaker.It’s the younger generation that the company needs."
Derrick incessantly coughed as if to prove that he was genuinely in terrible shape.
"Derrick..."
Joseph hurriedly rose to pat his back.
Meanwhile, Stephanie filled a glass of water and passed it to her husband before he took two sips.
"You still haven’t heard from Benedict? Now that you’re not feeling well, he should return to take care of
the business, no?"
Joseph asked tentatively, not 100% sure that Benedict had gone 1 missing.
