Chapter 1386


    "Yes, why?"


    Mike inquired innocently, spreading his arms.


    Lily was speechless.


    Balling her hands into fists, Lily curled her lips.


    "As you said, you’re a businessman, and you only care about if you can make money.I can’t answer


    this question, and you should consider why La Beauté Group would pull out of the project.Do you truly


    want to be involved in this?"


    Looking at her, Mike smiled without a word.His gaze was unfathomable, and his smile was just a front.


    There was no way to tell what he was thinking.


    Lily had no idea why he was doing this, but it was clear that he either did not want to tell her or could


    not.


    "Since you’vee from upstairs, can you tell me if Professor Thomson is there?"


    She took a deep breath and changed the subject.She pointed her chin upward, knowing that the ce


    was out of bounds for her.


    He followed the direction her chin was pointing, then nodded.


    "He should being down soon.He still has something to attend to."


    "Besides Professor Thompson and you, was there someone else?"


    She pondered for a moment before asking.


    Taken aback, Mikeughed suddenly.


    "La Beauté Group used to be the biggest shareholder.Don’t you know who else is involved in the


    project?"


    "They had always been dealing with Professor Thompson.


    At first, I thought that the project was his idea, but Iter found out that he was only a figurehead."


    "How did you know that?" Mike asked curiously.


    Lily looked at him.


    "In other words, there’s someone behind him."


    It took Mike two seconds to reply before he startedughing.


    "You’ re feeling me out, aren’t you? If you say there’s someone behind him, then maybe you’ re right.


    No matter what, we have the same goal, which is toplete the experiment and make it work."


    "I’ve learned about the project from the start and know you’ve poured a lot of effort and hard work into


    it.It must be tough rushing here and there while pregnant.If it seeds earlier, you could rest and


    prepare for yourbor, and Alex could also put his mind at rest."


    Mentioning this, he thought of something.


    "Yes, I heard he went to Burnwkentely.Is he back yet? I heard the situation over there was

    messy.Other than wars, there seemed to be a pandemic."


    "Pandemic?"


    Lily did not know about this.


    Following the developments there, she knew there was chaos and wars were raging.She had wished


    he would return sooner but was unaware of the pandemic.


    "You didn’t know about it?"


    Probably worrying that she would be rmed, Mike paused for a moment and said, "However, based


    on what I know, the area thepany was in was rtively safe.Don’t worry too much."


    "Okay," Lily answered, turning to leave.


    "Hey, where are you going?"


    Mike did not expect such a reaction from her and hurriedly called after her.


    "Even if you fly over there, there’s nothing you can do.It’s safer to stay within the country."


    Stopping in her path, Lily turned around and said, "Who says I’m going overseas?"


    "Then you..."


    "I’m going to theb."
