Chapter 252 Melanie could tell what Nathaniel was about to do. She quickly went forward and helped him lift his blanket as she massaged his calves.
“Look! Your legs weren’t amputated! You’re fine, so don’t worry too much. Trust me!” “Trust you?” Nathaniel glanced at her sideways and scoffed, “I trusted you too much!”
Melanie did not know what to say. She just sighed and tucked the blanket for him before standing straight. “I know you hate me now so much that you want to kill me, but I didn’t lie to you. Nate, I did what I had to for our future! Still, i know it hurts you, so do whatever you want to me, be it punching me or cursing me. I’ll take it all, but you must stay calm now and not hurt yourself! Can you do that?”
Her voice was gentle as usual, while remorse and concern were written all over her face. Nathaniel refused to speak to her. His expression was still dark, but he did not ask her to leave anymore.
“Do you know how painful it was for me when I heard you got into an accident? I was so scared that I’d
lose you! Nate, I don’t ever want to lose you. I love you,” Melanie said as she held his left hand lightly.

Nathaniel still said nothing and withdrew his hand from hers. His action did not discourage her as she
continued, “The lab confirmed that there’s no problem with the new perfume. That means our research is
a success! No matter low angry you are, please don’t take it out on work. Nate, I trust our new product
will bring miracles to the company!” After a moment of silence, Nathaniel finally asked, “He… gave you
the formula, didn’t he?”
Speaking swiftly as if the word might taint his mouth if it lingered for even a second longer, he referred to
Frank as “he.” Nathaniel couldn’t say Frank’s name at all.
Melanie knew who Nathaniel was referring to and did not deny it. “Yeah.”
“You didn’t bring him to the lab solely to improve the formula, did you?” Looking up, Nathaniel fixed his
gaze on her face, trying to decipher her expressions to see if she was telling the truth.
“Yeah.” She nodded honestly. Nathaniel let out a mocking laugh with a bitter smile on his face. “Nate, I
was wrong, but I did it for the company and for us.” Melanie continued, “You know my standards and the
capabilities of those in the lab. Since Lily created such a gigantic mess for us, our sales have been
dropping every day. Our brand’s reputation is getting worse as well. The manufacturing problem recently
almost ruined thic company.” She paused briefly before adding, “If we don’t launch a new product soon,
we can’t raise our sales, get nominated, or even win an award at the annual perfumery event. By then,

indifferent.
“I know how much the board members are pressuring you! If we don’t deliver in two months, what will you do? What will I do? How will the company fare?”
Finally, Nathaniel had a different reaction to this. The corner of his lip twitched as he closed his eyes. She could see that his chest was heaving up and down.
Slowly, he let out a sigh. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to admit that Melanie’s words were valid. On the surface, MN Inc. looked like it was doing well as it did in the past, but it was already falling apart. The outsiders knew nothing about this, but Nathaniel knew the company’s condition!
If he did not launch a new product and raise sales soon, everyone would know that the company’s glory days were over. The board members might even divest! It would be game over for the company by then, but he would not allow that to happen!
