Chapter 639
Nathaniel only returned to his office when he heard Damian’s footsteps storming away. He glanced at
Arianna and said, “That’s it? It seems like he isn’t satisfied.”
“Well, we can’t always win. If I listened to Damian, you wouldn’t be satisfied.” Although Arianna seemed
helpless, there was no hint of sadness on her face. Instead, there was even a slightly smug smile.
“All right, enough with the act. That brat is so soft around you!” Nathaniel snorted disapprovingly. “Now,
back to business. I’ll be off for a business trip soon. You need to keep an eye here.”
“Are you going to Sapphine?” she asked, raising her eyebrows.
“Of course. That town can’t count us out.”
Then Arianna’s smile dropped as she glanced at the candle Nathaniel had packed. “Are sure this will
work?”

“Don’t worry about what I’ll do.” Nathaniel confidently patted his chest and said, “You’d better not get
involved. Henry will trust me enough and cooperate with me because I have a history with Lily. Once he
enters the company, we will have the information we need. Then we’ll easily get what we want with the
Lodge family’s power.”
Arianna wanted to hear this and happily responded, “Then, I’ll be waiting for your good news!
A day had passed. It was another quiet day for the Lodge family. There was no sense of
precariousness that was about to occur. On the first day, Lily was vigilant, fearing that Henry might
come knocking at her door. However, it had been a day, and he had yet to appear.
Jonathan had also been living in the Lodge family residence. However, he hardly left the house.
because of his old age.
“Honey, you haven’t been to Sapphine a lot, have you?” Lily softly asked as she looked out the
window.
Alexander, who was tying his tie in front of the mirror, casually answered, “Yeah! Although La Beauté
Group has a branch in Sapphine, the performance here has always been stable and well managed. I
only check on them twice a year to review some accounts and leave. I’ve never stopped to linger
around here.”
Now that he thought about it, he had not spent much time in Sapphine. Before Lily, he did not interact
with the Lodge family much. He would just greet them out of courtesy.
“That’s a pity. Sapphire is quite beautiful.” Then Lily turned to look at him and said, “Why don’t I take
you out for a walk?”
When she looked at him again, he had already finished dressing. His dapper look caught Lily slightly off
guard. Even after being together for so long, she would still be in awe of his looks from time to time.
Faced with Lily’s stunned expression, Alexander chuckled. “Okay. I was thinking the same thing.”

Sapphine and not the Lodge family’s residence. All the police could do was list the suspects, as the
case was still ongoing. Everyone knew this was a calculated game.
The two were about to go out and get into the car, but someone stopped them at the entrance. “I’m
sorry, Miss, you can’t leave.”
“I can’t leave?” Lily raised her eyebrow at the man she recognized as one of the Lodge family’s trained
disciples. “What’s going on? Am I a prisoner now?”
“No, of course not! It’s just that sir told me that you’re not allowed to leave the house for the next three
days,” the man insisted with his head lowered.
Hearing this, Lily stared at him for a moment before turning around and raising her head to look
upstairs.
Lily saw the curtains move on the second floor, but no one came out from behind them. Then she said
smilingly, “I know there are rules that we abide by in the Lodge family residence, but it’s a crime to
detain me like this. I’m sure you’ve heard of this.”
