However, no one within the organization except the “boss” and the top leader knew each other's identity and background,
including Mike and Rhea.
Seeing the worker behaving poorly toward Lily gave Mike a strange feeling. He did not know who the woman was as he could not
get a good look at her face.
Still, he knew the standoff was not good, so he stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Russell isn’t ordering you, but the boss says Mrs.
Russell can use anything here at her discretion. Since she asks you to put it down, please do so.”
“Why should 1?” The woman showed Mike no respect and let out a throaty, gurgling laugh. “I'm carrying my experiment’s result. If
she’s so capable, she can do it herself. Didn't she just claim she could succeed without our data?”

“Since it’s part of the experiment, it belongs here.” Lily raised her brows. “Why? Are you scared?”
“It's useless to try to goad me.” The worker turned away. “| don’t wish to waste my ton you guys!”
Lily stared at the woman's back and said casually, “Are you afraid of wasting tor letting others see that you've failed again?”
Mike was baffled.
However, Lily’s words infuriated the woman. She suddenly turned around, her husky and shrill voice sounding, “What the f*ck are
you guys saying? How dare you claim | failed when you don’t know what it is? Do you think you're so f*cking great to stand her and
spout nonsense?!”
“Of course!” Lily quickly responded, “Do you think you've achieved a perfect fusion of monkshood’s toxicity and the scent of
ambergris by using the top-notched herbs and the most expensive spices?
“Indeed, the smell is potent enough, but you've mistakenly mixed the two as it would neutralize the toxin. Even if it works, it would
greatly reduce the drug's potency. If that is not a failure, what is?”
Stunned, Mike did not know whether Lily was serious or just making things up. However, judging from her look and coherent words,
he felt she was not spouting nonsense. He threw a spontaneous look at the worker and saw her standing still with her hands
clenched tightly.
Although he could not see her facial expression due to the face shield, he could feel her anger and even murderous intent.
Astonished by such a feeling, Mike cleared his throat and stepped forward. “Whatever your positions were before this, we have

contributor!”
He looked over at the worker. “If you don’t believe in Mrs. Russell, why not...”
Before he could finish, the shrill and awful voice called out his nthrough his earpiece. “Mike Corden!”
Confused, Mike cocked his head. “Yes, sir.”
“Tell Lily to focus on her job. | need what the person is holding. Tell her to creport toimmediately!”
Taken aback, Mike answered, “Yes, sir!”
