Chapter 1368
Lily stared blankly at the shattered glass on the ground, anxiety rising as though the sharp sound had
found its way into her heart.
Then she crouched down to pick them up before Olivia quickly grabbed her. 'Don't! Let me do it!"
’I’m sorry...' Lily mumbled. It seemed like she was in a trance.
'What are you apologizing for? This is your studio," Olivia joked, trying to lighten the mood.
She noticed Lily's absentmindedness today but did not bring it up or ask any questions. Once she saw
how out of it Lily was, Olivia knew Lily couldn't continue working.
’Go and rest. Leave this to me!" Olivia said, pushing Lily out before she turned to clean up the mess on
the floor.
It was fortunate that the contents were merely perfume making raw materials. Even if it were broken

Once she was done cleaning up, she saw Lily sitting on the sofa outside with a calm look. However,
Lily seemed immersed in her phone, scrolling through her messages.
'Has Mr. Russell not replied to you?" Olivia asked as she walked to the flask on the table and found that
it was empty. Then she turned to boil some water to fill it up.
It was no secret that Alexander was off on a business trip, and Olivia knew about it. Edward was
tagging along as well, so she understood how Lily felt.
"Did Edward call you?" Lily asked.
Oliva shook her head and replied, "I think it should be fine. This is not their first business trip. They’re
used to flying around like this."
Despite this, this trip was a special case. If things were not serious, they would leave early and be back
by the evening. This time, it had been two days.
Lily knew what Olivia meant, but she still had no idea why she felt so flustered. Lily’s grip on her phone
tightened.
There was an unexplainable sense of unease that lingered in her.
"Edward texted me that they had arrived safely. He said that although the incident this time isn't small,
it's nothing new. They will check on the situation first, find out the cause of the poisoning, and look into
the ones responsible for it. Then they'll figure out how to deal with it and what compensation they
should give. They'll come back once that's settled," Olivia said.
While waiting for the water to boil, she continued," Something similar happened here before. When it
comes to collective poisoning, be it food or someone who maliciously poisoned the factory, the person
in charge must be held responsible unless the perpetrators are found. That way, they will be punished
accordingly. These things are
complicated. Don't worry too much."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"People are dead," Lily uttered. Her mood was low, probably because of the deaths related to this case.
When she heard that there were casualties, her heart dropped.
In some cases, there was a drastic difference between the number of deaths and those wounded. They
were still La Beaute Group's employees, even if she did not know them. They all had their own lives. It
was natural for her to feel a little unsettled.
Hearing this, Olivia also lowered her eyes and sighed faintly.
At this moment, the kettle clicked. Olivia then grabbed two sachets of tea and put them in two cups.
After filling them with boiled water, she brought them to Lily and placed them in front of her. "Here, this
is to calm you down. You're still pregnant. You shouldn't be stressing yourself out."
Lily put one hand on her lower abdomen. She knew that feeling this way would not be good for the
baby, but it was not easy to control her emotions.
"Let's talk about something else. I heard that you're helping a chubby girl lose weight?" Olivia asked in
a relaxed tone in an attempt to divert not only Lily's attention but also her own.
Lily nodded. 'I suppose so.'
