Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1307

Beatrice's expression hardened. "What is there to worry about? With the fortune we've invested, she is already impressed with step one. If you put all your focus into operations, are you telling me you can't produce a sample that meets Lillionix's standards?"

The facility is flawless, but this total lack of background data makes me nervous. What if this is an elaborate front?
