Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 134

Willow quickly bought into this explanation.

After all, in her past life, Lycian Global was famous for its philanthropy, and Willow had even been a beneficiary of it herself.

What a great guy!

Willow knew she wouldn't find a better facility at this price point anywhere else. Without a second thought, she stated, "Let's sign the contract. I want to lease it for a year."

A year would be plenty of time to develop the targeted medication. After all, she had gone through the entire process in her previous life, so there wouldn't be much need for trial and error.

Lucian pulled out the prepared contract and handed it to her. Willow skimmed through it, finding absolutely zero unfavorable clauses. It didn't even stipulate penalties for damaging the lab equipment.

Were there really billionaires in this world who weren't out to exploit people?

Willow's impression of Lycian Global's CEO improved even further.

She was determined to meet him as soon as possible, earn his trust, and help him evade his deadly fate.

Willow signed her name formally and was about to pay the entire lease upfront, but Lucian immediately stopped her. "Our boss said you only need to pay the first month's rent. The rest can be settled when the contract concludes."

Lucian knew Willow didn't have much cash on hand right now. Even though she had produced a few viral, chart-topping tracks and the royalties had come in, it wasn't enough to withstand such heavy spending.

He wanted her to have money to spend on herself, rather than draining her savings on a research facility.

He knew doing this might make her suspicious, but her well-being was far more important to him.

Willow merely gave him a questioning look before figuring it out herself. The boss of Lycian Global must have wanted researchers to work without the stress of rent overhead, allowing them to dedicate themselves fully to their work. With more liquid capital on hand, the research could progress much faster.

So kind.

Willow marveled silently, finalized the contract, and prepared to leave.
