His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1286

Thompson was stunned for a while before bursting into laughter. "Oh, Mr. Corden, you're too naive! You must be kidding me! Don't you know what we will use the end products for? Didn't the boss tell you? If I told Lily the truth, do you think she’d want to continue working with us?"

"Why not?" Mike questioned. "You just need to tell her that for the sake of safety and the experiment's success. We have put an end to using poisonous herbs. Only herbs that calm the consumers will be used."

Hearing this, Thompson's eyeballs almost popped out. "How is that possible?! Mr. Corden, are you telling me to lie to her? She won't be so easily deceived! Besides, she’s the one who’d be performing the experiment. It'll be meaningless for me to lie to her like this!"

To Thompson, Mike seemed like he was out of his mind. Did he genuinely think that it was that easy to fool Lily? If that were the case, Thompson would not have been stressing about it until now.

"I'm not asking you to lie to her." With a faint smile, Mike continued, "I'm trying to say that we stop using those poisonous herbs."

This shocked Thompson even more. "That's impossible! We're already so far into the experiment. There's no way we can stop it now. The boss will never agree!"

To be frank, the boss proposed all the experiments with the poisonous herbs. Thompson had asked the same thing at the time, but the boss said he needed something to keep his disruptive workers in line.

Back then, Thompson would vehemently oppose any inhumane ideas, but he knew he couldn't fulfill this dream alone. The school rejected his creative idea then, and his colleagues thought he was a lunatic for wanting to do something impossible and pointless.

Firstly, it was difficult to mask the distinct smell of the medicinal herbs, let alone blend them with conventional materials. Secondly, there were many medicines out there that could achieve the same results. Why would anyone spend their money and time on this new invention?

Was it just to ease the suffering the patients go through? Was it to allow more people to get treated daily?

No one saw his vision and was willing to invest in him. At that time, the boss stepped in. Although Thompson did not know who the boss was, he seemed to be experienced. The boss found the laboratory, the start-up capital, and even the later collaborators.

Only after the laboratory began to take shape did he start recruiting some staff. Later, he approached La Beaute Group for investment and drew Lily to work for them.

Thompson's journey had not been smooth sailing, and now that he was finally at this point where success seemed within reach, these accidents happened.

"The boss won't agree!" He repeated. "You have no idea that those are his—"

"He will agree," Mike interrupted him and said firmly. "Leave the boss to me. You deal with Lily. She only cares about the relationship between the poisonous herbs and the end products. Everything will be fine if we take the toxic herbs out of the equation.

“If you're worried, you can wait. I believe you'll hear from the boss soon. However, for the experiment's sake, I suggest you tell her about this 'good news' as quickly as possible."

Thompson was speechless.

After saying that, Mike got up and left. Thompson stared at his back, not knowing whether he should believe Mike.
