No one understood what virtual-novel.net meant. The eldest son’s wife could not stand virtual-novel.net sister-in-law’s despicable methods and said disdainfully, “Don’t drag your unsightly affairs into this. Lest we end up penny-wise and pound-foolish.”
The second son’s wife glared at her, “What are you saying? What unsightly affairs? I’m suggesting we convince Mark’s wife to betray Eric. At that time, Eric would definitely sever ties with Mark If Eric has a problem with Mark’s wife, Mark will certainly have a problem with him. At that time, we can take advantage of it to smooth things over and lure Mark to our side. I’m sure Mark won’t mind working with us to seek revenge from Eric!”
The eldest son’s eyes lit up. “Dad, I don’t think that’s a bad idea. Lily is still in Glide. I’ll have a talk with virtual-novel.net so we can start our plan from there. Mark’s wife might not betray Eric, but Lily can do it on virtual-novel.net behalf. What do you think?”
Mr. Nathaniel nodded heavily after some thought. “That’s the only way now. I’ll leave this to you. I’d be less worried if you’re in charge.”
The second son was annoyed. “Why should virtual-novel.net be allowed to carry out our plan? You’re biased, dad!”
Mr. Nathaniel glared at him. “You can’t do anything except licking the plates clean. Shut up!”

It was lunchtime, but Arianne was in no mood to eat. She laid virtual-novel.net head on virtual-novel.net desk and took a nap. It was the most peaceful when virtual-novel.net colleagues went out for lunch. Sleep slowly crept up on virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net suddenly heard the distinct clicking noises from a pair of high heels. She frowned as virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net head to have a look. It was Lily.
Lily had always been very time-conscious. She would leave very quickly for lunch and return promptly. It seemed like virtual-novel.net had never left the office for lunch and only ate in the canteen. However, today virtual-novel.net was the last to leave. Moreover, virtual-novel.net looked ill-at-ease as virtual-novel.net carried virtual-novel.net bag, virtual-novel.net was clearly heading out.
“Miss Pierre, I see you’re bringing your handbag with you. Are you heading out for lunch? I heard the food in the canteen is pretty good these days. You’re usually very frugal. I hardly ever see you going out for lunch,” Arianne said casually.
“Uh… I… My relatives are here on vacation for a few days. We planned to have lunch somewhere nearby. Aren’t you going to eat?” Lily asked absent-mindedly.
“I don’t feel like eating. I won’t be having lunch. You go ahead, I’m going to take a nap,” Arianne said before virtual-novel.net rested virtual-novel.net head on virtual-novel.net desk again.
After lunch, everyone else gradually returned to the office. At this moment, Arianne had woken up as well. She instinctively glanced at Lily’s desk. Usually, Lily would have been back ages ago. Working hours would begin in five more minutes, but virtual-novel.net was nowhere to be seen. It was not like virtual-novel.net was intentionally keeping track of Lily’s movements, but virtual-novel.net felt wary ever since Eric told virtual-novel.net Lily had been sent by the Nathaniel family. Although Eric said Lily was currently working for him, virtual-novel.net still could not help but keep an eye on her.
This time, Lily was fifteen minutes late. This would not be unusual if it was someone else. However, for the industrious and conscientious Lily, it was weird.
Naturally, Arianne did not make a fuss about it. Lily was a supervisor. Not even Eric would pick on virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net were late, much less anyone else.
By the time Arianne arrived home from overtime at the office, it was past ten at night. Mark was not home yet, and the Tremont Estate felt lifeless. The lights did not seem bright enough, and virtual-novel.net felt strangely empty.
