Chapter 1280
Olivia understood immediately.
She only knew Lily was collaborating on a new experiment at the research institute, but she had no
idea what it was about because it was supposed to be classified.
If they were to talk about the experiment, it was not appropriate for her to be present.
"Will you be okay going there on your own? What if he insists you stay with the project, and you two get
into a fight? There'll be no one to help you." Thinking about it, she frowned. "Why don't you bring
Edward with you? He can wait outside in case anything happens."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKnowing she's concerned for her safety, Lily said with a laugh, "You think I'm going there to fight?
Besides, Professor Thompson is an old man. I'm afraid he’s the one who would need help if things get
physical."
However, Olivia kept shaking her head. "He's old, but what if he brings help? You’re young and know
kickboxing, but you're pregnant!"
"We’ll be in a public place. Why have you gotten so anxious?" Olivia wanted to argue further, but Lily
added, "You even took Edward's mosquito bite as a hickey and scratched his face. Fortunately, he has
a good temper. If not, what would you do if he turned his back on you?"
"I..." Stumped, Olivia blushed. "Why did he tell everyone about this?
Besides, how do you know it's a mosquito bump? It was a hickey, okay?"
"Because I saw one, and someone tried in vain to mislead me to think otherwise!" Thinking of what
Alexander was trying to do, Lily was amused.
'He always looks so aloof to others but sometimes acts like an attention seeking puppy in my presence.'
"What?" Olivia was intrigued and laughed. "You saw one too?"
"Anyway, stop bullying Edward just because he's easygoing, okay?" Lily elbowed her lightly.
Olivia pouted. "Lily, we're on the same team. How could you side with him?"
"You sided with Alex too just now, didn't you?" She chuckled.
Olivia was speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMike was shocked as he stood still. As someone who was well-traveled, he thought he had seen
everything. However, he did not know how to describe the face before him.
Half-concealed by a black mask, his exposed face was covered with scars.
It was hard to tell whether the scars resulted from burns or stab wounds, and even though half of them
were covered by the mask, they still looked terrifying.
Even his dark brown eyes were enigmatic and sinister. Despite having been around, Mike felt a chill go
down his spine.
"Well?" Mr. R spoke, and his hoarse voice still sounded awful. Coupled with his look, the man looked
like someone from hell, which was unnerving. " Are you pleased with how I look, Mr. Corden?”
He looked unblinkingly ahead, his feet glued to the floor, and gulped despite himself. Fortunately, he
still seemed somewhat calm.
