Chapter 1495
Lily took one last look at his back and turned around, disappearing into the night.
After a while, Mike slowly turned and saw that she had left before he let out a long sigh.
His role as a father? Why would he stray away from his role?
Rhea was sitting in the middle of the yard. After finishing her second cup of coffee, she was starting to
lose her patience. Nothing was happening at all.
Her eyes began to narrow. There was no way she had made a mistake in her judgment, and Lily had
already infiltrated the laboratory. There were no other ways for her to come in.
On the contrary, Austin breathed a sigh of relief and stopped struggling. He did nothing more than lie
down to rest and regain his strength.
Time began ticking away as he lay there. He did not know what to feel. On the one hand, he was glad

At this time, there was a sound of a door opening, and footsteps followed.
Rhea stood up abruptly. "Who allowed you guys to open the door? Didn't I say that today is a holiday
and no one is allowed back in the laboratory? How dare you ignore my orders? Who the hell..."
"Ms. Moore, aren't you a delight?" Mike walked in unhurriedly with his shiny leather shoes before slowly
raising his head to look at her.
"It’s you?!" She was startled before she quickly pieced the puzzle together." It was you who tipped her
off and told her not to come?"
"Who? I don't know who you're talking about?" He looked confused.
However, Rhea did not buy it. She gritted her teeth angrily. "Not bad, Mike! Do you know what you just
did?! Don't think that you're a big deal just because of the money you've put in. Your money is nothing
compared to the boss!"
"My money is nothing much in comparison, but you can ask the boss if he still wants it." Mike was not
angry at all. There was even a smile on his face.
’You...’
Rhea burned with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
Mike was very important to her boss. To be more specific, his money and funds were crucial to this
project.
"Ms. Moore, I know you're extremely talented and this project can't run without you, but don't forget our
main goal. The most important thing now is to help the boss complete this experiment in the shortest
time possible. We're already at the final stage. Are you going to let these trivial people and things
bother you? Aren't you afraid that the boss will get angry?"
Mike was mocking her, telling her that she shouldn't be focusing on such things. Instead, she should be
back in the laboratory, experimenting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm’Don't use the boss to threaten me. If the boss finds out you let Lily go, do you think he won't be
angry?" Rhea snorted.
With a faint smile, he replied, "Then tell me, how do you think the boss will react when he finds out that
you've killed Professor Thompson on your own accord?"
"Mike Corden!" Rhea yelled out his full name in rage.
'Relax. A woman shouldn't be so angry all the time. It's not good for the body. The boss still needs you,
and this project needs you as well. Take care of yourself, Ms. Moore!" With that, he walked straight
through her.
Just as he reached her side, he cast her a sideways glance and said, "Oh, by the way, it's already so
late. I'm sure whatever ghosts you were trying to catch have gone to bed. You shouldn't stay here too
long. Overeating at this time is fattening."
Mike's mockery was brutal.
As he walked away, she stared at his back bitterly with clenched fists.
