Chapter 1284


    It was also their trust in her, believing that she could seed 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 thepensation would result in a loss to them, it was just a drop


    in the bucket for thepany.


    "Lily, the experiment has been going on for so long. I think we''re about to seed. 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


    up.


    A simple idea of his has blossomed to this point. It seemed like it was about to seed, like they were


    just a step away. At this time, no one could stop him. He must seed!


    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 rxing


    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 ufortable, 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


    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.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Mr. Corden, you''re good at jumping on opportunities." Lily was a little surprised. She never expected


    him 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, hispany 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."
