Chapter 1290

Back then, at the entrance of the research institute, he insisted that a woman should not be doing these

things. He yelled at her to withdraw from the project. Now, he was outside her studio, telling her it was

all a coincidence. She found it unbelievable.

"If I said I was just passing by, would you believe me?'

"Haha." Lily let out a dry laugh without saying anything else. Instead, she stared at him with a smile,

creeping him out.

'Weirdo!' He thought to himself. He was obviously just passing by.

'Why is she staring at me like that, insinuating that I'm making excuses?

Thinking of this, he became more confident and puffed up his chest. Then he pointed at the car and

asked, "Is this car yours?’

Lily followed his finger and replied, 'So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

Austin did not know what to say to this woman. In the end, he asked, 'So, it was you at my second

granduncle's house the other day.’

"Your second granduncle?" Lily raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly.

"Mr. Fike, Mr. Dominic Fike," Austin said without hesitation. He was very curious about her relationship

with his granduncle.

"Oh, so Dominic Fike is your second granduncle.’ Lily nodded as if she had just caught on to his words.

This suddenly made Austin feel proud, and he began to brag, "Of course! Do you understand now why

I advised you to withdraw from the project? It's not just empty words. I come from a family of doctors.

"My family has been studying medicinal herbs for generations. How can a normal person like you

understand the profoundness of medicinal herbs? Your commercial fragrances are nothing compared

to it. Yours are for children.’

Everything he said showed how much he looked down on the perfumery industry.

In his opinion, those products were made to satisfy women. It was almost like a distraction that was a

waste of money. How could those products compare to theirs, which could heal people

and save lives?

Besides, the inherent scent of the medicinal herbs was their signature. Be it bitter or sour, why should it

be covered up? Using commercial fragrances would mask it.

Austin did not bother to hide his contempt because he did not think anything was wrong with what he

said.

However, Lily sneered. “You come from a long line of medicinal herb practitioners? As far as I know,

Mr. Dominic started practicing it independently. Before that, the past generations of the Fike family did

not practice any medicine, be it as a general practitioner or a medicinal herb practitioner."

"You..." Austin did not expect her to know so much about the Fike family affairs. He squinted and

asked, "What's your relationship with my granduncle?"

Seeing that she only had a faint smile on her lips and did not answer, Austin was agitated. At last, he

could not help but ask, "Could it be that you n

Lily raised an eyebrow to look at him expectantly.

"Could it be that you know who my granduncle's secret apprentice is?!"

The first thing that came to mind was that maybe she was Dominic's secret apprentice. However, that

thought was pushed away as quickly as it came. 'Impossible!'

Although Dominic had never mentioned anything about his secret apprentice, Austin refused to believe

that the secret apprentice could ever be a woman.

How much could a mere woman learn about medicinal herbs? Even if she managed to learn a few

things, there was no way someone as critical as Dominic would choose a woman to be his secret

apprentice.

All of his previous apprentices were men, after all.

Thinking of this, Austin was reassured that Lily was not Dominic's secret apprentice. The only

possibility was that the two somehow became acquainted. That would explain why Dominic saw her in

a different light.

Lily did not answer.

His guess was so close, yet so far.

However, she just chuckled.

"Wait, am I right? So, you know who my granduncle's apprentice is? Who is he? How do you know

him?" Austin had always been curious about who this mysterious person was that attracted his

granduncle's attention.

Dominic would not even take his own grandnephew in.
