Thompson pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.

"From what | know, Lily didn't learn about herbal medicine, but she is a brilliant woman. Coupled with her plant exposure, | won't

be surprised if she has learned about it during that time.

"You don't understand. Herbal medicine is a broad and profound subject. Even though I've studied it for decades, I've only

scratched the surface-"

"Enough! You're still rather proud of it, aren't you? If you guys hadn't been so useless, there wouldn't be a need to get outside

help."

"Sir, I've shortlisted other candidates who are the country's top perfumers. Apart from them, I've also selected a few candidates

from overseas as backups. Why don't we..."

Upon knowing that Lily had decided to back out, Thompson immediately prepared a backup plan by selecting several well-known

perfumers. ‘If she does back out, we could replace her. However.."

"Replace her? For what?" His employer scolded him. "You think there aren't enough people who know about what we're doing?"

Thompson kept quiet.

‘Indeed, what we're doing is classified. Even the workers in the laboratory don't know about the experiment's true purpose, let

alone Lily. Everyone has their job scope, so not many, including Lily, know what the finished product will be for"

‘However, if we replaced Lily, the risk of exposing our secret would be higher as another person would get involved. My boss is

right in saying so"

"So what do you think we should do?"

"Since she's already involved, she should forget about backing out. She must either complete her task or shut her mouth for

good!"

Thompson was shocked. "But sir, we can't risk offending the Russells, and | heard she’s quite good at kickboxing. Besides, she has

the Lodge family's support.”

"You worry too much! How can someone like you achieve anything great?"

"But..." Thompson wanted to say something, but Mike interrupted, "We're not asking you to kill her now. Can't you just convince

her to return and continue her work?"

"I've tried to persuade her many times!" Thompson felt worn out. ‘I couldn't just tell her the truth, could 1?"

‘Lily smiles often and speaks gently, but she’s as stubborn as a mule"

"If persuasion works, there wouldn't be so many wars and killings in this world." Mike removed his glasses and casually wiped them

with a microfiber cloth.

Thompson did not understand him.

Mike lowered his gaze to the glasses. The half-smoked cigar now lay in the ashtray. His slender fingers meticulously rubbed the

cloth against the glasses. "Professor, you're a learned man. Haven't you heard of intimidation and inducement?"

Thompson still did not get it.

Mike put on his glasses, looked up, and smirked. "Intimidation and inducement are both good methods. Professor, why have you

thought only of persuasion?”

Knitting his brow, Thompson chuckled coldly. "Mr. Corden, you say it like it's so easy. You're a friend to Lily and her husband, aren't

you? Why don't you tellhow we should intimidate or induce her?"
