Hazel's expression shifted.
It seemed like a solution, but…
“Ms. Keene, thank you for your kind offer, but Aria is the original creator of that project. Even if I join your lab, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue the research…”
“The Evernight Group is Flourish Dominion's biggest investor. We can cooperate.” Gideon looked at Flora. “I'll transfer the rights to this project from Flourish Dominion to the Keene Group.”
Flora's eyes lit up. This was an unexpected bonus. She quickly nodded in agreement. “No problem!”
“Aria's past research at Flourish Dominion already belongs to Flourish Dominion. This solution eliminates the risk of plagiarism.”
Charles also nodded in agreement. “I'll provide you with all the necessary equipment, as long as you can develop the original drug.”
Hazel nodded emphatically. “Okay!”
After Lilith regained consciousness, Flora couldn't stop thinking about Aria's pregnancy. Knowing that Henry most likely wouldn't tell Gideon, she wanted to talk to Lilith about it right away.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
“Aria is actually pregnant?!” Lilith clenched her fists. “I was so careful, but I still couldn't stop it!”
“What do we do, Lilith? From what I heard, it sounds like Aria doesn't want Gideon to know she's pregnant!”
“She must be planning to give birth in secret. That way, she gets the child but doesn't have to give up the cord blood.”
Lilith ground her teeth. “I don't want her cord blood, and she can forget about having that baby!”
“Even if I die, she's not giving birth!”
Flora was a little confused. “Why, Lilith? Gideon clearly likes you so much. Why are you so insecure?”
“Aria is a wild card…” Lilith said. “Aren't you also afraid of her getting close to Charles?”
