Chapter 885
Joseph grew agitated when he discovered what Nathaniel had done with Damian. "You... What did you do to Damian?"
"Tsk! Tsk!" Nathaniel chuckled. "So your son is more important to you after all. Haven't I told you? They'll be all right if you do as I say."
Nathaniel had Arianna to thank for nurturing such a good group of henchmen. Her mistake was assuming they would stay loyal to her, not
knowing that most people were merely motivated by self-interest. As long as someone served their interest, it did not matter who they worked
for.
Tanner Corporation changed leadership almost overnight. Nobody thought the internal struggle within the Tanner family was so intense.
While the competing higher-ups wondered which side to choose, Nathaniel had successfully claimed the company's helm.
He had not only garnered the support of many small shareholders, but he also produced a declaration of transfer of shares stamped with

Of course, as he had expected, some did not recognize the document and objected to his appointment,
but he would kick them out of the company one step at a time.
After all, Nathaniel would not have spent months in Tanner Corporation for nothing. He knew
everyone's weaknesses and which teams they supported.
Arianna was stupid to think he had been dawdling around in the company and was just trying to make a
living working for her so that he could have an easy-going life. What a joke.
Having gone through so much, Nathaniel grew up experiencing mistreatment by others. He would
never content himself working for others and having a settled life. Not only did he want Tanner
Corporation, but he also wished to compete with La Beauté Group.
Lily had heard about the change of leadership at Tanner Corporation, too, but she had no time to
bother about it. Her Four Seasons perfumes were so popular that Lisa’s team wanted her to be their
brand ambassador for the next themed series.
Simultaneously, Grandeur did not give up and sent its person in charge of the Asia Pacific region to
discuss collaboration. Lily did not turn them down this time and agreed to meet.
Although she wanted to create her own brand, there was no need to reject all collaboration offers. It
was not good to offend too many people because those she offended could become her enemies.
Therefore, she knew having one more ally was better than creating an enemy.
"Do you have to go on a business trip?" Alexander watched Lily busily packing for a while before
wrapping his arms around her waist. He held her tight from behind, not letting go.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Stop it." She purred. "I have a plane to catch. I won't be able to make it if you don’t let go."
"It's better if you don't make it," he said rather childishly, "I'd prefer you to stay." Grinding against her back, he took in the faint, natural scent
on her body.
Even though Lily was a perfumer, she hardly used perfumes when she was not working. Still, she possessed a simple and natural scent that
captivated him the most.
'You said you were going to support my career." Lily turned around and put her hands on Alexander's chest. She could hardly resist him
whenever he acted like a little boy who wanted her attention.
Alexander felt regretful for getting her the studio and could not help but complain, "I am! I've always been, so much so that you're going to
leave me."
Lily had spent most of her time at the studio since she got it. Now that she had to go on a business trip, Alexander felt that he gradually
mattered less to her, probably even less than her bottles of perfumes one day soon.
"I’m not! I’m just going on a business trip, and I'll be back before-"
