Chapter 480 Pulling Back from the Brink (2)
"This..."
Jacob said with difficulty, "I'm afraid that won't work. After all, this project is very costly, and your dad won't easily agree. My parents have already talked to him, but he insists on collaborating with another company. Unless..."
Lily pressed, "Unless what?"
Jacob said word by word, "Unless we know the bid price for this project, only then can the Diaz family take the initiative. And this bid price can only be obtained from your dad's computer. Do you understand what I mean?"
His eyes were burning with determination, and there was a hint of inevitability.
To Lily, that look seemed like a giant black hole, causing her to lose her reason and be firmly drawn in.
She hesitated for a long time and said, "You mean, you want me to steal the bid document from my dad's computer?"
Jacob held her hand and said, "Lily, this isn't 'stealing,' it's 'helping.' After all, the Diaz family and the Stewart family are in-laws, and we will eventually become one. Only family won't harm family. Do you really want us to be unable to be together?"
Lily was finally persuaded. She said, "When do you need the bid document?"
"The sooner, the better, of course."
Jacob took out something that looked like a USB drive and said, "You just need to plug this into your dad's computer, find the experimental drug related to IL-8, and copy it. As long as we can collaborate on this project, our families will be even closer, and our marriage will have hope."
Lily had imagined countless times over the years becoming Jacob's bride.
She had admired and loved him since she was a child, and in her mind, she would eventually marry Jacob.
"Okay, I promise you!"
She looked at him firmly, no longer hesitating.
The Stewart family study.
Taking advantage of the night, when the servants were asleep and Adam had long gone to bed.
Lily tiptoed into the study.
Her heart was beating faster, and she trembled as she took out the USB drive, taking a deep breath.
After hesitating for a long time, she still felt that this was not right.
But Jacob's words echoed in her ears. If Adam collaborated on this project with someone else, his family would surely be displeased with her.
She wanted a happy marriage with Jacob, not to have her future in-laws resent her before they were even married.
Finally, Lily inserted the USB drive Jacob had given her into Adam's computer.
The password was her birthday, and Lily easily opened it.
She quickly found the document about the IL-8 drug trial.
Her hands were shaking more and more, unable to press the copy button.
In her mind were Adam's loving care and all the moments with Jacob from childhood to now.
These scenes swirled and intertwined in her mind, making Lily extremely conflicted.
But reason suddenly emerged at this moment.
She could persuade Adam to collaborate with the Diaz family, but she couldn't steal like this!
If the Diaz family opposed her being with Jacob because of this, if Jacob blamed her and abandoned her because of this.
Then she had truly been blind and misjudged him!
Even if she did marry Jacob, she wouldn't be happy.
At this moment, she felt particularly clear-headed.
Then, she resolutely pulled out the USB drive.
