It was also their trust in her, believing that she could succeed in this project. Other than that, La Beaute
Group was not short of money. This small investment was nothing to them.
La Beaute Group would withdraw the capital they had invested in the project now that she had decided
to withdraw from it. Although paying the compensation would result in a loss to them, it was just a drop
in the bucket for the company.
"Lily, the experiment has been going on for so long. I think we're about to succeed. Are you genuinely
going to give up now?" Thompson asked earnestly. "This project isn’t just my painstaking effort, it's
yours too. I know you were optimistic about this project in the beginning. La Beaute Group has also
invested so much in this. Don't you think it'd be a waste for you to give up?"
He was heartbroken by her decision. Despite the pressure from his superior, he was reluctant to give

A simple idea of his has blossomed to this point. It seemed like it was about to succeed, like they were
just a step away. At this time, no one could stop him. He must succeed!
After everything he said, Lily was slightly moved by him. Although she didn't speak, her brows
furrowed.
She did find this project meaningful. Otherwise, she would not have dedicated herself wholeheartedly
like this. It was all fine until she noticed that something was wrong. Poisonous herbs were used in the
experiment.
On top of that, the unclear purpose of this whole project made her reluctant to continue.
However, if the institute agreed to stop using poisonous herbs and make calming and relaxing
fragrances, she could stay and finish this project. The only problem was that she did not know if
Thompson would agree or if" they" would agree.
"Professor Thompson...”
Just as Lily was about to ask, she heard another voice behind her," Professor Thompson."
She turned her head in surprise to see Mike behind her with a perfunctory grin on his face.
"Lily, we meet again." Taking advantage of this opportunity, he sat on the empty seat next to Lily as if it
were natural.
This made Lily uncomfortable, and she shifted away from him.
After greeting her, Mike turned to look at Thompson. "Don't worry about the money. I've already told my
company to allocate some funds. It'll arrive within 48 hours. However...”
After dragging out his word, his eyes darkened. "I'm not sure if the problem within your team has been
resolved. When can we continue the experiment?"
Although this question was addressed to Thompson, Mike turned to look at Lily.
"Mr. Corden, you're good at jumping on opportunities." Lily was a little surprised. She never expected
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim to intervene.
She always knew he wanted to be a part of this project. Unexpectedly, he managed to strike a deal with
Thompson without anyone noticing.
As soon as Russell Group withdrew its capital, his company immediately sent over some funds.
"You always have to keep your eyes and ears open regarding businesses. Alexander is better at this
than me." With a smile, he asked her directly,"
What's wrong? Are you refusing to work on this project because I stole your husband's business?"
"I may not have told you that your passive-aggressive method won't work on me," Lily answered lightly.
Then she turned to Thompson and said, "Professor Thompson, I heard you today, but I'll still need
some time to think about it. Let's cut today short. I have something else to do and will be taking my
leave."
