Soon, a vegetable dish was ready.

When she finished, she got a call from Gerard. "Lilah, we're heading home. Should we dine out or have dinner at home? Lilah removed her apron and replied, “Stay in for dinner. I've cooked something."

"Alright," Gerard confirmed.

Thirty minutes later, Gerard walked through the door with Jerrold.

Lilah greeted them with a smile and said, "Come on, wash up. Dinner is ready."

After slipping off his shoes, Gerard asked, "What's on the menu tonight?"

Lilah responded gently, "I found some vegetables in the fridge and opted for a vegetarian meal."

She was fed up with having meat every single day. Eating vegetables occasionally was good.

Gerard acknowledged, "Sounds good."

After Jerrold washed his hands, he leaped onto Lilah and smiled.

“Mommy, there will be a parent-child activity at summer camp in a few days!"

Effie worried that Jerrold might get bored, so she enrolled him in the summer camp. After all, he couldn't just stay home every day for such a long vacation.

"When is it?" Lilah asked.

"Next Monday," Jerrold answered.

Considering her schedule, Lilah said, “I'll join if I can, Jerrold."

The following day, Lilah resumed her routine, tackling office paperwork.

Suddenly, a knock interrupted her focus.

Lilah glanced toward the entrance and said, "Please, come in."

Emma entered briskly, her voice laced with urgency. "Miss Phillips, you need to see what's online immediately. The White Dew has Launched a new product and accused us of stealing someone's formula. Our stock and sales are tumbling."

Alarmed, Lilah quickly accessed the internet.

As she landed on the trending news, a headline captured her attention:

White Dew Triumphs Again, Accusing Phillips Group's Botanic of Formula Theft.

Her expression shifted, and she started scanning through the comments section. All she found were hurtful remarks.

"The formula of the Botanic skincare products was stolen from someone else's hard work. It's shameful for the Phillips Group to profit from someone else's efforts!"
