Fortunately, Duke Leslie came to her senses at the last moment, preventing the situation from escalating further.
She had also figured out whose side she ought to be on.
Setting aside what benefits the Gene Research Institute might offer, being on good terms with Duke Lu Xia would only be advantageous for the Leslie family.
She wasn't a complete fool; her mind was exceptionally clear when it came to her family's interests. Since she couldn't benefit from both sides, she had to secure the one that offered the greatest advantage.
Standing not far away by the second-floor banister, Prince Li Mang heard every word. A smile touched her lips; this time, she was truly beginning to admire the young female, Duke Lu Xia.
Even when facing a behemoth like the Gene Research Institute, the young female hadn't backed down in the slightest. She had even managed to successfully threaten them.
Her move was decisive—fast, precise, and ruthless, striking directly at her opponent's weak spot!
