His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1452

Before Austin could think any further, he heard Rhea's voice, which was now even colder from outside. There was a hint of warning in her words.

“Professor Thompson, I understand you’re an old-fashioned old man, but you need to understand that you no longer have full control of the experiment. Do you want to stop it now? That’s impossible! You can’t quit either! You’re a different case from Lily because you know way too much!”

Austin did not hear any reply from Thompson, but he heard the older man’s long sigh instead. ‘Professor Thompson must be feeling helpless about the situation.’

However, what had just happened left Austin reeling, perhaps because he had not expected Rhea to dare speak so rudely to Thompson or threaten him. Suddenly, he felt that he knew nothing about this research at all.

‘Who’s the superior they’re talking about? Is someone else in control of this besides the investors?’

After spending so much time and effort on the experiment, Austin thought he was close to success. At this moment, he finally realized that he was an idi*t and had never understood the core of this research.

The sudden silence made Austin’s heartbeat extraordinarily loud. He put his hand to his chest, unable to believe he had just discovered something shocking by chance. This research institute seemed to be much more complicated than he initially thought.

“I got it. Don’t worry. I wouldn’t do anything since I can’t do anything anyway,” Thompson said helplessly.

“That’s the best! You must know I’m not the one who wanted to say these words to you, alright?” The clicking sound of Rhea’s high heels appeared to be farther away. Perhaps she was going to leave.

Just as Austin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her footsteps stop. Suddenly, she asked, “Professor Thompson, did you lock the door when you left earlier?”

Austin was horrified by that question.
