His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1233

Although it was nothing, the last sentence irritated Lily.

‘What’s a woman supposed to do?’

To Austin, a woman should stay home, care for her husband, have children, and play with them. That was why he deemed Lily unworthy of being in the research field.

Initially, Lily thought he was just against her field of work. Now, it seemed like he was just sexist. No one expected him to be a sexist b*stard behind his dignified demeanor. Lily thought that people were just blinded by his looks.

She was furious. She had not been this angry in a long time and sneered. "Mr. Fike, what is a woman supposed to do? What shouldn't a woman do? In other words, what is a man supposed to do?

“You don’t seem to have been in the research field for long, nor did you achieve much in it. Won't that mean you've not done what a man should do? You can't do what a woman does either," she said, rubbing her belly.

"If it weren't for the Institute of Medicinal Herbs, what rights would you have to stand here and tell me what to do?" She was trying to prove a point.

'Who does this man think he is? He can only stand here and talk to me because of the research institute. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have a chance to talk to me!'

Austin did not expect this woman to be so sharp-tongued. She did not listen to him and even retorted, making him feel extremely ashamed and annoyed.

"Y-You…" His face flushed, and the pair of eyes behind his glasses glowed with anger. "I'm doing you a favor here! A pregnant woman should stay home instead of running around and trying to dip her foot into the medicinal herbs industry through money. How shameless!"

Ultimately, he could not hold himself back anymore and spat out the last sentence.

Lily's face sank, and without hesitation, she splashed the remainder of her drink on his face. "You should learn not to assume things!"

With that, she turned around and left.

‘What a waste of time! I wouldn't have come if I had known this would happen. What kind of scoundrel is he? What horrible symposium did I just attend? Everything was just horrible! Why would the institute recruit such a disgusting human being? That man has the mindset of a caveman! Gah! What a rotten day!'
