His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1231

The man who came was wearing a white suit. Although he seemed young, he had an alluring charm and elegance.

Everyone turned their heads as soon as he entered the door, and people that knew him immediately surrounded him. "Mr. Fike, you're here!"

"We've been waiting for you!"

"Mr. Fike, I heard that the research institute's new project is very intriguing. Will you talk about it today?"

"Mr. Fike, why are you alone today? Is your teacher…coming?"

Maria had been so cautious about it when almost everyone had the same suspicion. When it came to this group of people, secrets spread like wildfire.

Many people believed that Austin was the secret apprentice that Dominic took under his wing.

This assumption initially stemmed from the fact that both of them had the same surname, and they began to suspect that Austin and Dominic were related. Otherwise, why would Dominic take in such a young person as his apprentice and keep it a secret? Even old friends who were close to Dominic did not know about it.

The young man stopped and looked at whoever asked the question. With a warm smile, he said, "My professor is busy with research back at the institute. He rarely attends such events. I'm here as his representative."

The "teacher" that Austin mentioned referred to his mentor at school, not the person in everyone's head. Although the crowd understood this, it might sound like he was avoiding the topic out of a guilty conscience to some.

If he felt guilty, this would mean he really was Dominic's secret apprentice!

The people in this circle had an obsessive admiration for Austin. This was not only because of his qualifications and status, as he became famous at a young age for his excellent acupuncture skills.

He had cured various sorts of illnesses. It was rumored that he had cured the wife of a certain renowned figure, who had been sick for many years.
