His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1250

Thompson did not answer her questions directly. He only reassured her that she shouldn't worry. According to him, the institute was ready because the project had been approved and established. They just needed her to produce the results they wanted. As for the testing of the product, she did not need to be involved.

However, Lily was responsible for her creations. How could she not be concerned about the results or effects her product would have on its consumers?

Seeing that Lily had been silent for a long time and appeared to be in a daze, Austin thought that she was not listening to him or that she did not understand what he was saying. Suddenly, he became irritated and lost interest in talking to her.

Waving, he said, “Forget it! You don’t understand it anyway! This isn’t as simple as what you do for your perfumes. This is about medicines, and they might cause death if not dealt with appropriately! Here’s some advice for you, stop with the experiment and stop coming here too!”

Lily returned to her senses and raised her brow to look at him. “Mr. Fike, what’s the real reason you want me to stop with the experiment? Is it honestly because you think I know nothing about medicinal herbs? Is it genuinely because you want this experiment to stop, or…”

She stepped forward with her lips curled into a smirk, but her gaze turned cold. “Or is it just because I’m a woman?”

Austin said nothing and just looked at the woman before him. She was smaller and shorter than he was, and her belly was a little round. With her head raised, she stood before him and looked into his eyes, her gaze clear and sharp. Under her gaze, he somewhat panicked for no reason.

In that instant, he wanted to hide from her.

However, that was just his thought for a split second. He collected himself and straightened his back. “Ms. Christian, it’s pointless for you to argue with me. You understand none of the things I just said to you. You’re a woman, and it’s a fact that men are better than women at certain things.

“Moreover, you’re pregnant now. I’m doing this for your benefit. You don’t lack money, and I heard you’re quite popular in the perfumery industry, so what are you doing here? I’m saying this with good intentions. Not everything is as simple as what your perfumers do in the lab. There’s a lot to learn about medicinal herbs, and if it’s not handled carefully, it will…”

Suddenly, he stopped and called out. “Hey! I’m not done yet. Where are you going?”

Austin did not expect her to leave while he was talking. She said nothing and just walked away.

He was stunned before he raised his voice. “I’m telling you this seriously! You should consider what I just said! It will only benefit you and won’t harm you in any way. Hey! Hey!”

He wanted to say more, but Lily was already out of sight.

Lily was not in the mood to listen to Austin’s nagging or argue with him. ‘He’s stubborn, arrogant, and holds prejudices against women. I don’t want to have anything to do with someone like that. Still, he knows about medicinal herbs, I’ll give him that.

‘He’s not entirely the conman that I assumed him to be, and I need to agree with those things he said about the experiment. It can’t be continued! The direction of the experiment is problematic, and its goal probably is as well.’

She could confirm her thoughts after adding the two drops of essential oil to the mixture earlier. As expected, it would suppress the scent of the medicinal herbs for some time. She would try that again, and perhaps she could find out what they wanted to do by then.

Without realizing it, she made a turn at the intersection and stopped. She turned her head to look in the direction of the institute, and to her surprise, she saw a familiar figure there.

‘Mike? What is he doing here?’
