His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1471

“Well…” As Thompson hesitated, Austin continued, “Professor, I know they’re watching you too. If you go to the police, I’m afraid you won’t be able to make it to the police station. It’s even more unlikely for you to reach my family.

“Lily, however, is closely related to the laboratory. You can tell them you’re facing a bottleneck or want to ask her about previous lab data, and then they won’t suspect you if you meet her.

“Lily can fight, and her husband is Alexander, whose family wields a huge influence in Kingsland. Only she can help you and me!” Probably because the bread and water had strengthened Austin, he could think clearly and calmly.

Looking at Thompson’s expression, he slowly loosened his arm and said earnestly, “Professor Thompson, I have no idea what the experiment is about since you can’t tell me, and I’m not going to ask you about it.

“However, you should know better than anyone that you can’t let it continue. Perhaps they’ve threatened you with your family's safety, but if they succeed, the world will be thrown into chaos. How safe would your family be then?”

Thompson looked greatly unsettled.

“I-I have no idea. I can’t help you. I can’t!” He left, almost as if he was fleeing, and Austin did not try to stop him this time.

Having said what he wanted to say, he knew Thompson needed time to think about it and would not dare not to promise him so easily. As for whether he would help, Austin was not sure and could only leave it to fate.

Daisy left the second day after Lily fired her.

Lily had transferred her wages to her bank account with an additional month’s salary. As the woman had not done anything bad to Galen, Lily thought it was better to end her employment in a good way.
