Chapter 799
Lillian smiled slightly. "I didn't expect it, you actually have some ideas, I like it."
Lillian winked at Briar, who felt utterly captivated. She was actually a visually oriented person. With Lillian's beauty, she could secretly stare at her all day without getting bored. Any man who could get angry looking at that face, she thought he must be blind.
How could anyone give up such a beauty and go for someone disabled?
Mr. Frane, being a big capitalist, couldn't possibly do something so foolish.
"Lillian, did you really dump Mr. Frane?"
Hearing Lillian not refute, Briar immediately felt her guess was correct.
Lillian poked her forehead. "No, don't overthink it. We just had a normal emotional breakdown, a marriage breakdown. No one dumped anyone. Also, Star hasn't had any plastic surgery. Hurry up and get to work. Did you finish organizing the list of artists who frequently collaborated with Star Group's brands over the past ten years that I asked you to do yesterday?"
Lillian urged, and Briar stopped her burning gossip thoughts.
She turned to her workstation, took out the organized file, handed it to Lillian, and then said.
"Star definitely had plastic surgery, it's not natural at all, there's nothing that compares to you, Lillian."
Lillian looked at her, thinking Briar was just comforting her because they got along well.
Lillian said, "Star really didn't have surgery, besides, I don't need to compare myself to her."
"You're right, why compare, just be yourself. But Star definitely had surgery, although it's very natural and you can't tell, my mom is a plastic surgeon, I've seen countless surgery plans and photos since I was a kid, I can't be wrong. I can't tell exactly where she had surgery, but she definitely did, really."
On the first day at the company, Cecilia and the others secretly gossiped that Lillian must have had surgery.
But Briar could tell at a glance that Lillian was all-natural, no surgery could make someone look so naturally beautiful.
Star, although also good-looking, felt fake to Briar, her features not so smooth.
Unfortunately, most of the videos circulating had poor lighting and were shaky.
Otherwise, she might have been able to tell where Star had surgery.
Briar thought, returning to her workstation, not noticing Lillian deep in thought.
Lillian frowned slightly, although she had only known Briar for two days, Briar seemed to have her own opinions and wasn't the type to speak without thinking.
If she thought Star had surgery, there might be some truth to it.
But Star was previously stuck in a small mountain village, unable to even leave the village, so it was impossible for her to have surgery.
Could it be that Star had surgery after returning?
Lillian thought carefully, when Star was first brought back, she was very thin and pale, looking in poor condition.
Now Star was prettier, learned to dress up, and her temperament had changed a lot.
Comparing like this, she couldn't tell if Star looked like this when Jackson brought her back to Miracalia or if she had surgery later to look better.
Just then, Thalia came and called Lillian into the office to report on the project progress.
Lillian had to put this matter aside and went to the manager's office.
Thalia didn't make things difficult for Lillian today, after carefully asking about Lillian's various ideas and preparations for the annual meeting, she said with a worried expression.
"Ms. Kelly, I didn't know about your relationship with Mr. Frane when I assigned you this project. If I had known, I wouldn't have made things difficult for you. Now everyone is talking so harsh, you must be feeling wronged."
Lillian looked up at Thalia, not believing she would be so kind and specifically comfort her.
"Ms. Fairchild, just say what you want to say."
"I think there will be a lot of talk about you and Mr. Frane in the company recently. Why not let someone else take over this annual meeting project, and I'll give you a few days off to relax? So you don't have to hear the rumors in the company, which would really affect your mood."
"Who do you think should be responsible for the Star Group's annual meeting project?"
Thalia stared at Lillian, not seeing any displeasure or anger on her face.
Thalia couldn't figure out Lillian's attitude for a moment, but she thought that many people Lillian's age were still in college. A young girl facing such slander and insults, how could she bear it?
She must be feeling very upset, wanting to escape, wishing she could stop coming to work immediately.
Thalia smiled and said, "If I give it to someone else, you might not be at ease. How about giving it to someone familiar?"
Lillian chuckled, already guessing her mind.
But Lilian still asked, "I don't know who you're referring to."
"Lillian, of course, it's me."
At this moment, the office door was pushed open again.
Anouk appeared at the door, walked in, and smiled.
"Lillian, you can rest assured and take a break, or you can handle this matter. I'll definitely arrange and plan the project well."
Anouk was quick to agree, already answering for her.
Lillian had never seen someone so blatantly snatch a project.
She smiled faintly and said, "If I remember correctly, aren't you in the finance department?"
Anouk nodded, "Yes, but the finance department doesn't have anything important recently, it's not busy. Ruby wants me to rotate through several departments to gain experience. Ms. Fairchild borrowed me for a while, so I can take over this project."
Anouk was pleased with herself; she had thought it through last night.
She wanted to use this opportunity to expose Lillian as Jackson's ex-wife, making Lillian deeply entangled in rumors.
Then seize Lillian's project and drive Lillian out of the company.
"I see." Lillian nodded, still smiling.
Thalia and Anouk exchanged a glance, thinking Lillian had agreed.
The next second, Lillian suddenly stood up, raised her hand, and slapped Anouk hard on the face.
Anouk was stunned, standing there in shock.
Thalia was also shocked, not expecting Lillian, who seemed so mild-tempered, to act so quickly.
Thalia came to her senses, slammed the table, and stood up.
"Lillian! This is the company, what are you doing?"
Her voice had just fallen when the office door was suddenly pushed open again. Thalia glared over, "What are you doing? Don't you know how to knock?"
Standing at the door was Cecilia, looking flustered, seemingly already in shock and panic.
Being scolded by Thalia, she stammered, "But, Ms. Fairchild, he's here!"
