"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.l 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've cfrom upstairs, can you tellif Professor Thomson is there?"

She took a deep breath and changed the subject.She pointed her chin upward, knowing that the place was out of bounds for her.
He followed the direction her chin was pointing, then nodded.
"He should be coming 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, Mike laughed 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, | thought that the project was his idea, but | later 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 started laughing.
"You’ re feelingout, aren't you? If you say there's someone behind him, then maybe you’ re right.
No matter what, we have the sgoal, which is to complete 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 succeeds earlier, you could rest and prepare for your labor, and Alex could also put his mind at
rest."
Mentioning this, he thought of something.
"Yes, | heard he went to Burnwken lately.Is he back yet? | 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 alarmed, Mike paused for a moment and said, "However, based on what | know, the area the
company was in was relatively 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.lt’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 the lab."
