Chapter 42 Luckily, Lily Was There
In front of Mr. Morris and that female employee, Robert took out his phone and called Samson.

Samson answered the phone almost immediately. Without knowing anything yet, he answered joyfully, “Boss, how can I help you?”
Robert’s voice was deep and low. “When will you and Lil be coming back?”
For a moment. Samson said nothing.
The way Robert addressed Lily left him confused–he had never heard Robert address her in such an endearing way before.
Still, he was considerably quick–witted.
He paused for several seconds, then smacked his lips.
“Ms. Lily is still at Horizon Haven. She did not mention when she will be returning. What’s wrong? Did something happen at the hotel?”
Robert smiled. “It’s nothing. I was just asking. Go ahead and have fun.”
After that, he hung up.
The expressions on Mr. Morris and the female employee’s faces were rather interesting.
Then, he raised his brows at them. “Well? Did you hear that?”
He didn’t want to continue talking, so he immediately shut the door in their faces.
After that, his expression fell.
Mr. Morris looked like he was waiting for some sort of drama to happen.
He probably wanted to turn this incident into a weakness of mine and hold it over my head.
Seeing as my divorce from Lily has not yet been publicly announced, I remain a married man in the eyes of the public.
Even if I were drugged, my reputation would be affected one way or another if it got out that I spent the night with a woman of unknown origins
For that reason, I’m certain Mr. Morris allowed that female employee to raise a ruckus in front of my door to shine a light on this matter and bring my morality into question.
Then, Robert breathed out a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing that Lily came over that night.
However, if this issue were to be resolved, another issue would arise.
Therefore, news of his divorce from Lily cannot be leaked out. No matter what the reasons might be, they couldn’t be announced to the public at this point.
Frowning, he returned to the sofa and sat down.

Chapter 42 Luckily, Lily Was There
Just then, Samson called again.
Robert glanced at his phone and answered it. “What’s wrong?
Samson’s voice sounded rather serious. “Right. Ms. Lily and I are heading back now-”
“It’s fine to talk now,” Robert bluntly replied.

Upon hearing that. Samson paused, then he let out a long sigh of relief, “Boss, what was that just now? Did something happen?”
Robert leaned back against the sofa. “The incident where I was drugged was brought out into the open.
Although Samson might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, he caught on quickly during critical times.
Thus, he spewed out a string of expletives without holding back before continuing, “So, they wanted to use this incident to blackmail us?”
Robert breathed out. “It’s fine now.”
Still. Samson was angry. “That was dangerous. If Lily didn’t go over that day, we might be in serious trouble by now.”
No matter what it was, if Robert had slept with another woman and word had gotten out about it, the Taylor Group would be affected by the ensuing backlash.
After all, most people did not care about the means or the cause. They only cared about the results.
Since the Taylor Group ran a large business, it naturally had many competitors in the market.
If a scandal occurred, there was no knowing how many people would try to bring the company down.
It was a consequence that he didn’t even dare to imagine.
Meanwhile, Robert leaned against the sofa with his eyes closed.
“So, you don’t need to come back yet. You can continue sightseeing. It’s alright now.”
Samson was no longer in the mood for fun.
He said, “Forget it! We’re already on our way back anyway. We might as well head back. Lily has an upset stomach, so she needs to take some stomach medicine when she gets back.”
Then, Robert grunted in reply without saying more. “Okay. If there’s anything else, you can report it to me once you get back.”
After hanging up the phone, he placed his phone aside. At that moment, his mind was a mess.
Many incidents occurred during this trip that seemed to be beyond his control. Hence, it left a bad taste
his mouth.
Robert waited for a while, then remembered something.
Then, he hurriedly called up the Taylor Residence, and Old Mrs. Taylor answered the call. “Robert, aren’t you working?”
