Thompson also spoke bluntly, “You're not a professional, so you might not understand. The experiment may not sound complicated,

but it requires excellent skills. Besides, even an ordinary product requires multiple experiences to succeed. Of course, an

opportunistic businessman like you would not understand how hard it is."

The one who spoke to Thompson before this was Mike Corden. Mike was wearing his business suit as he lounged on the sofa with a

cigar.

After listening to Thompson, he narrowed his eyes, held up his cigar, and tapped off its ash. "If | remember correctly, Professor

Thompson, you told us that La Beauté Group has withdrawn their funding.

"Without opportunistic businessmen like me, you won't be able to continue your experiment, no matter how great it is!"

He was undiplomatic, knowing that without La Beauté Group, the project would not have the money to continue unless they could

find a new funding source. Moreover, they did not want the experiment to stop.

"You-" Faced with such an insult, Thompson lost his temper.

"Enough," said a man in an executive chair with his back to them. His low voice sounded somewhat husky and odd. "We're here

because we share the sgoal. What's the point of quarreling over such a trivial matter?"

"Mr. Corden, we need your funding, but don't forget that you're the one who cto US and asked to collaborate! Also, you're not

doing charity. You have your needs, and we have ours. We're on the sboat!"

Mike raised his brow but did not retort.

As Thompson glared at him, he heard his nmentioned. "Mr. Corden is right, Professor Thompson. The experiment has gone on

for so long with so much money. We even poured in more workforce, yet you're tellingwe haven't succeeded yet?"

His last few words were grave, and one could sense his anger without seeing his face.

Sweat streaked down Thompson's face. "Sir, I..."

"You were the one who cup with the idea. Considering that you're a gifted talent, | put you wholly in charge of the matter, but

look at what you've achieved."

He continued icily, ‘The experiment has not only failed to reach its goal but has lost La Beauté Group's support. Even Lily

Christian is backing out. Is our institute a place where she can cand go as she wishes?"

Mike stared at his cigar and remained quiet as if deep in thought.

Sitting beside Mike, Thompson wiped his sweat. "Sir, | tried to dissuade Lily, but she seemed to have noticed something and

insisted on backing out. She also made a few attempts to probe. | worry that..."

"Worry about what?"

"l worry she has already discovered the experiment's true purpose, which is why she refuses to carry on. | thought she was just a

perfumer and knew nothing about herbal medicine, but | discovered that she wasn’t entirely clueless about it. She was even quite

precise in determining the medicine's dosage."

"She learned this before?"

Thompson shook his head. "No, I've checked. She did learn a lot, but she has never systematically acquired knowledge about

herbal medicine. She couldn't have achieved such a level through self-learning."

His employer let out the slightest snort and said grimly, "Useless fool!"
