When Mike returned, he bumped into Rhea in the corridor as she was leaving.She looked at Mike with
resentment after what had happened last time.
As the two crossed paths, Rhea suddenly put out her hand to stop him.
“Did the boss ask you to look for Lily?”
Mike stopped and rubbed the back of his neck as he chuckled coldly.
“Why don’t you ask him yourself?”
Rhea lifted her chin and said arrogantly, “Don’t you dare think I don’t know what you guys are up to.Do
you think Lily can replace me if she returns?! I’m irreplaceable in the lab!”
From her studies to her work, she was always the cream of the crop in every field.
Rhea genuinely despised and looked down on Lily.
‘she’s just a perfumer with some fame.So what if she knows about herbal medicine or learned from
Dominic Fike?’ Since Rhea was a significant part of the virus research, she had an indescribable sense

‘Everyone will know me one day and shudder at the mere mention of my name!’
“Why are you so worried if you’re that confident?”
Mike threw Rhea a sidelong glance and openly mocked her.
“You…”
Rhea looked upset since Mike had figured her out.
“I’m not worried, but shouldn’t you be? Would Lily agree if our boss asked you to get her back? She’s so
full of herself! Besides, she was the one who left, and you guys failed to keep her.Now you want to bring
her back? Is that possible?”
Mike revealed a half- smile.
“You should be telling our boss that, shouldn’t you?”
“You don’t have to intimidate me with him.The boss and I area team, and I’m loyal to him.It’s a different
story for you!”
Rhea sized him up and suddenly laughed.
“How’s your son lately?”
“Thanks but no thanks for your concern!”
Mike’s gaze grew cold as he sneered, “I heard your parents’ business had turned around, thanks to
you.Still, you know what we’re doing.All is well if we succeed.I wonder what will happen to your parents if
we don’t?”
Before Rhea could retort, she saw him lifting his hand as if he had just remembered something.
“Oh, I almost forgot about your uncle! I bet he never expected his niece to ruin what he had worked so
hard for after all these years.
“Anyway, I wonder if he’ll ever find out about it.Also, what the hell is that drug of yours? If it’s so useful,
why don’t you give it to _Nn He stopped abruptly and put his finger on his lips, which slowly curled into a

“You’re a smart person.You should think ahead a little bit more.”
Mike waved his finger, went around her, and walked away.
Rhea turned and gazed after him as he disappeared from her sight at the corridor’s end.
Then she narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking, ‘That drug..”
When Mike pushed open the door and went in, someone threw a box toward his face.He dodged,
stepped aside, and caught it.
“Mike Corden! Are you no longer taking my words seriously?”
The man was enraged and roared in his unpleasant voice.
Mike had anticipated the man’s anger and took two steps forward.
“I know you’re well-informed, but you should know I’ve tried my best.Lily is too cunning, and she tricked
me instead.”
“Oh, yeah?”
The man laughed coldly.
It was so harsh that one would knit their brow.
