Chapter 1281


    Mike did not know what Mr. R had gone through, but there must have been a story behind his face.


    Mr. R was already numb to Mike''s reaction toward his face. However, Mike seemed rtively calm. Mr.


    R''s gaze swept over Mike contemptuously, and his voice became deeper, almost warning, "Mr.


    Corden!"


    Mike suddenly came to his senses, and the corners of his mouth twitched. '' Sorry, I didn''t know..."


    "You don''t know how ugly my face was, huh?" Mr. R gently stroked his mask. At this moment, Mike


    noticed that the same scars also covered Mr. R''s hands.


    When Mike gazed down at how this man had worn long sleeves and trousers in such weather, he


    wondered if there were also scars on the rest of Mr. R''s body.


    "I didn''t mean to offend you," Mike exined.


    "Hmph!" Mr. R had grown ustomed to people''s screams, contempt, panic, and fear when they saw


    him. Nheless, he, too, hated his face.


    "I''ll leave the funds to you, Mr. Corden. I believe Corden Group''s financial resources will not let US


    down!"


    Mike nodded and said, "Of course! Once that is done... You can get what you want once I’ve settled


    everything."


    Then he turned around, and Mike faced the back of the chair. The two sat silent for a while before Mike

    turned around to leave, feeling that the conversation was over. After walking a few steps, a voice


    sounded from behind. "Also, tell your men not to test me again. I won''t stand for it next time!"


    Mike''s back stiffened. He turned to look at the back of the chair in shock as he froze in ce. Then he


    left, closing the door before the room fell silent again.


    There were a few restaurants near theboratory. This part of town was more secluded, with fewer


    people around. Therefore, restaurants in this area were extraordinarily quiet, even during mealtime.


    Thompson was early. As soon as he saw Lily enter the door, he extended his hand to greet her


    enthusiastically. "Lily, over here!"


    "Professor Thompson." Although Lily pulled out of the project, she still respected him.


    Even though Thompson had hidden much from Lily, he was an older gentleman with outstanding


    qualifications. He was also good to her when she worked at theboratory.


    Besides Lily, everyone in theboratory had experience in the medicinal herb field. When she first went


    in there, she could not help but feel discriminated against. Everyone assumed she had abused her


    power and entered through a backdoor.


    Despite all that, Thompson stood by her side and supported her. Still, the experiment went in the wrong


    direction, and she could no longer stay.


    "Please, sit! You don''t have to be so courteous with me!" Thompson picked up the teapot and poured


    her a cup as he spoke. Lily quickly picked up the cup and thanked him. Then Thompson handed her


    the menu and asked, "What do you want to eat? I remember you''re from the south, and this restaurant


    has good southern food. I heard it''s quite authentic, too." "You''re being too nice, Professor Thompson,"


    Lily said, pushing the menu back. "I''m sure you know I''m not here for a meal."
