His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1284

It was also their trust in her, believing that she could succeed in this project. Other than that, La Beaute Group was not short of money. This small investment was nothing to them.

La Beaute Group would withdraw the capital they had invested in the project now that she had decided to withdraw from it. Although paying the compensation would result in a loss to them, it was just a drop in the bucket for the company.

"Lily, the experiment has been going on for so long. I think we're about to succeed. Are you genuinely going to give up now?" Thompson asked earnestly. "This project isn't just my painstaking effort, it's yours too. I know you were optimistic about this project in the beginning. La Beaute Group has also invested so much in this. Don't you think it'd be a waste for you to give up?"

He was heartbroken by her decision. Despite the pressure from his superior, he was reluctant to give up.

A simple idea of his has blossomed to this point. It seemed like it was about to succeed, like they were just a step away. At this time, no one could stop him. He must succeed!

After everything he said, Lily was slightly moved by him. Although she didn't speak, her brows furrowed.

She did find this project meaningful. Otherwise, she would not have dedicated herself wholeheartedly like this. It was all fine until she noticed that something was wrong. Poisonous herbs were used in the experiment.

On top of that, the unclear purpose of this whole project made her reluctant to continue.

"Professor Thompson…”

Just as Lily was about to ask, she heard another voice behind her, "Professor Thompson."
