His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1386

“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. I 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 come from upstairs, can you tell me if 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, I thought that the project was his idea, but I later found out that he was only a figurehead.”

“How did you know that?” Mike asked curiously.
