Chapter 1232
However, judging from his actions in such a short time, he was not out of touch with the outside world.
This meant that he saw the message but deliberately ignored her.
Although it was a person's choice whether to reply to a message, he seemed to want to talk to her, yet
refused a more convenient channel. This man was not an easy person to deal with.
After being called out, Austin was stunned for a short while before returning to his senses with a slight
smile. "I prefer talking to someone face -to-face. Although it's easier to text, it’s also easier for
misunderstandings and misinformation to happen."
Now, this was a new excuse.
"However, that's not the point. I want to know if you're really planning to stop this project," he asked
solemnly. His gaze looked like it could scorch.

Lily raised her head to look at him. Although she was not short, the man in front of her was extremely
tall, making her look petite. This action would have made her neck sore if it weren't because she was
used to looking up at Alexander.
She had only brought it up once since she did not know the details or purpose of the project. The
institute was afraid that she might stop the project and had tried to coax her a few times.
This time, it seemed like they had sent Austin over to try and dissuade her again.
Unexpectedly, this man said, "Nope! I'm here to tell you that I hope you stop thinking about it and just
do it!"
"Huh?"
This was the first person from the research institute who did not try to dissuade her. Lily, who was
about to doze off, suddenly became interested.
"I personally feel like that research is a complete waste of time, energy, and financial resources. On top
of that, there are no good purposes!
Besides..." After a pause, his thin lips curled into a faint, mocking smile." With all due respect, your
research has always been on extracts and essences. Those have nothing to do with our medicinal
herbs. I think it's absurd to pull you in and work together with US."
Lily fell silent.
He didn't want to cooperate with her because he looked down on her! Lily understood what was going
on now.
No wonder he did not bother to reply to her message on WhatsApp. It was no wonder he wanted her to
stop this project. He found her unworthy of being a part of the institute!
After all, she was just a researcher of extracts and essences. How could she be compared to the
medicinal herbs that cured diseases and saved lives?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I see what you're trying to say here." Lily nodded slightly. She was not angry as she took a few sips
from her drink.
After pondering for a while, she asked, "I have a question. Is what you just said a representative of the
whole research institute?"
If this were what the research institute wanted, she would pull out of the project. However, she found it
strange why they approached her to discuss cooperation in the first place.
Austin raised his chin and bluntly replied, "It's my own opinion! I don't know how you negotiated a deal
with the institute or what conditions you've laid out with them for this. I heard your husband is an
aristocrat engaged in big industries. I hope you know that scientific research isn't child's play. It's not
the same as investing in, let's say, a movie or striking a business deal. I think you shouldn't meddle in
matters that involve the life and death of a human being."
As he spoke, his eyes moved down to her protruding belly. "Ms. Christian, I think you should stay at
home and do what a woman is supposed to do!"
