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 re 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 sses 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. Why 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 ising 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 toe back andplete this project."


    As Mike exined 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 sessful, it would bring significant


    changes to the world and make him famous. He would leave a mark in the field of medicinal herbs.


    That sess 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


    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 seed soon. She is our missing puzzle piece...


    "I can''t just kidnap her!" Upon saying this, a wry smile appeared on his face as he pinched his nose


    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."
