His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1367

On the surface, it sounded like Austin was praising Lily. However, he had a feeling that the woman before him was not someone that a few simple praises would sway.

Her attitude was a prime example of that. Others who saw him as Dominic's secret apprentice approached him respectfully and politely. Rhea knew that her mother was begging for his help, yet she did not even consider his presence. There was no sense of respect from her. It even seemed like she was a little cocky.

Austin had met many people over the years, and Rhea seemed similar to him—conceited.

People who could work in this research institute and have a close relationship with Thompson must be capable. Those who were capable were typically arrogant, especially youngsters. If she heard that Lily was more respected than her in this research institute, Rhea would turn green with envy.

Sure enough, a cold smile appeared on her face. "Very capable?"

"Yeah. It's a pity you're not on the same project. Otherwise, there might be things you can learn from Mrs. Russell," Austin said smilingly, adding fuel to the fire.

Rhea shot him a glance and said, "Aren't you on the same team as her? You must’ve learned a lot, then."

He was speechless, and the smile on his face froze instantly. Rhea's insipid sentence quickly diminished his burning flame. Austin let out a stoic laugh and said, "We've learned from each other!"

He would never admit he wanted to learn from Lily. She did not deserve it.

With that, Rhea straightened up and turned to leave. It seemed like she was done with the conversation. After taking a few steps, she turned around. "By the way, many have tried to help my cousin, but it never worked. If you want to maintain your reputation, it's best to leave her alone!"

Then with a scornful smile, she turned around and left.
