Chapter 1285
"Lily? Lily!" Thompson called out after her a few times, but she had no intention of stopping.
Just as he was deciding if he should chase after her or not, Mike held him back. "Professor Thompson,
you should give her some time to think."
"But...” Although Thompson did not fancy Mike, Lily was long gone amidst his hesitation.
Ultimately, Thompson could only sit resentfully and glare at Mike. "Mr. Corden, you know how on edge
everyone is about the project. Are you deliberately causing trouble by pulling something like this?"
"You should be careful when you speak." Mike pushed the glasses on his nose bridge, and a faint smile
appeared on his face. "Don't forget. I'm one of the investors now and have spent money on this project.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy wouldn't I want to see results? It's just that you're using the wrong method to try and keep her in
this project."
"What do you mean?" Thompson was puzzled.
"I can more or less understand where Lily is coming from. Now that she doubts your purpose, she won't
give in until she gets her answer. If you continue to hide things from her like this, I'm afraid it'll be
difficult to get her to come back and complete this project."
As Mike explained this, he leaned back in his seat. On the other hand, Thompson's face turned more
solemn.
He had put in so much time and effort into this project. Once it was successful, it would bring significant
changes to the world and make him famous. He would leave a mark in the field of medicinal herbs.
That success was imminent. If they stopped now...
With his knowledge and experience, medicinal herbs were no issue for him. However, when it came to
fragrances, that was where he was weak.
Therefore, he needed Lily on the team if he wanted a perfect blend between medicinal herbs and
commercial fragrances.
It was also because of this that he was so worried.
"Then what do you suggest?" Thompson put up his hands helplessly. "I'm sure you know the secrets of
this project. However, Lily is very persistent. I know that, but there's nothing I can do! Right now, I feel
like I'm one step away from the big breakthrough. As long as Lily returns and helps with the essences,
we will succeed soon. She is our missing puzzle piece...

bridge before whispering, "Besides, I don't have the ability to either.'
Even if Lily did not know how to kickbox, there was no way an older man in his 60s would be able to do
anything to a young woman. On top of that, she had the entire La Beaute Group behind her. He was
not stupid enough to try to start a fight with the Russell family.
Listening to this, a mysterious smile formed on Mike's face. "Of course, you can't kidnap her. With her
temperament, she probably won't do it even if you kidnapped her!"
"Exactly!" Thompson sighed and looked at Mike. "Tell me, what should I do? If
Ultimately, this was the most important thing.
"That's easy. Tell her the truth!"
"Tell her the truth?!’ Thompson's eyes widened. He thought he had misheard Mike.
"Tell her what she wants to know. Once she gets her answer, our problem is resolved."
