Gerard didn't look too displeased with this. He kissed her on the cheek and said, "No problem. I'm more than happy to wait for you."

At the mention of this, Lilah's eyes twinkled.

In fact, she also wanted to get married as soon as possible because she wanted to give Jerrold a complete family. Although Jerrold didn't say anything, she could tell that he was feeling uneasy.

However, Gerard's identity was so special that it worried her.

In the end, she let out a tired sigh and decided to go back to her apartment.

The next day, the news spread over Eleywood like wildfire.

When Lilah arrived at the company, there was a heaviness in the air that she could physically feel. Even the receptionist looked down in the dumps.

"Good morning," Lilah greeted with a small smile.

The receptionist looked at Lilah. "Hello, Miss Philips," she greeted back with a level of uncertainty and anxiety in her tone.

Sensing this, Lilah placed a hand on her shoulder and comforted, “The company is running smoothly. Don't worry. Your job here is safe."

Lilah exuded a sense of security that made everyone feel safe.

The receptionist cheered up and smiled. "Okay."

As soon as Lilah entered her office, the first thing she did was turn on her computer and check out the latest happenings with the dispute.

There, she saw that the Dillon Group had just publicly declared that they would be sending a lawyer's letter to the Phillips Group.

This led the netizens to believe that it was the Dillon Group who possessed the copyright.

The people who had supported the Phillips Group before now thought that the latter was actually in the wrong.

Various comments criticizing the Phillips Group started appearing.

"Wow! The Phillips Group really copied them. I can't believe that I just bought stuff in their mall yesterday!"

“I will request a return from them. This is devastating! I loved their shopping mall. I even made plans to go back there in the future."

“I was supposed to go to their shopping mall today. But after knowing this, forget about it! I won't support a mall that practices plagiarism!"

"I bet the Phillips Group is going to be torn down soon. I wonder if they can hold on this time?"

Meanwhile, Emma came in wearing a serious expression. "Miss Phillips, this is the lawyer's letter that was sent by the Dillon Group.”

Lilah glanced at it and appeared to be unbothered.

“The morning meeting will be held soon," Emma added.
