Chapter 1493

Lily took a step back to avoid Mike's touch and scrutinized him.

Unexpectedly, he had prepared himself. Lily’s plan to infiltrate the research institute had failed.

However, if she were to hold Mike hostage, would that stop the laboratory from running?

Her mind began to spin. After all, Mike was the major shareholder in this project. Without him and his

money, it would be difficult forthem to continue the research.

"Lily, things are lurking in these waters. You shouldn't try to swim. You still have children to care for,

and..." He glanced at her stomach. "You're risking too much. If Alexander were still here, he would

never allow you to do this, am I right?"

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean if Alexander were still here? ’ Lily quickly picked up on

his words as she stared at him. "Does the lab have anything to do with the plague in Burnwken? What

other projects have you guys been running besides mine? Tell me!"

"You shouldn't stay here for long, and this isn't a place to talk. You should go home. We'll discuss this

next time." Looking past the wall, Mike vaguely heard some movement and quickly reached out to grab

her wrist. "Let's get out of here first!"

For the first time, Lily did not struggle. She allowed him to drag her for a few minutes and only stopped

when they were a little further away from the laboratory.

"I thought you would resist me," Mike said with a relieved smile.

"I'm not that stupid. Why would I force my way in when I know trouble is waiting for me there? Besides,

I don't have to break in! The best hostage is in my hands right now," she said, looking at him intensely.

Mike, who was panting, raised his head to look at her when he heard this. He burst into laughter when

he noticed that she was staring at him like he was prey.

"You're going to take me as a hostage?" He read her mind at a glance. Shaking his head, he continued,

"First, you need to know that a hostage is only a hostage if you know you can get what you want with

them.

Otherwise, you're holding me captive for nothing."

"Why not? You provide them with the funds. I don't believe they can continue if I cut off the main chain!"

Lily felt that he was just making an excuse.

"Didn't Mr. Russell provide money in the beginning as well? Did the experiment stop once he

withdrew?" Mike questioned back.

Lily did not answer for a while.

"That's because you joined in and funded them!"

He nodded. "That's right. So what if you hold me hostage or kill me? Do you think they'll stop? You

have no idea. This lab is just a cover-up. Although it looks like the most menacing thing right now, there

are darker things you don't know about."

With that, silence hung in the air.

Lily was confused by Mike's words.

'Were they committing a crime? Wouldn't this mean Mike has admitted to being a part of it?1

"Since you know this, why aren't you stopping?" She asked in confusion. ’ Did you know the true

motive of this research from the beginning? Is that why you insisted on joining?"

"Don’t ask so many questions! The more you know, the more dangerous it can get for you. Don't come

here again, and don't worry about things you shouldn't care about. Go back and tend to your children.

Your safety is guaranteed with La Beaute Group's power and ability." Mike avoided all her questions.

"Do you think I can let it go now that I know so much? You should know how much I've participated and

spent on this project. Now that Professor Thompson is dead, and Austin is missing, how can I ignore all

this?

"Not to mention the plague in Burnwken and the fact that I have no idea whether Edward and

Alexander are alive. How can you tell me to go home and tend to my children? Do you think that's

possible?"

She stood her ground, looking at Mike, who had straightened up. The two stared at each other without

any exchange of words.
