Chapter 1396

Over the past few years, Austin had been holding onto the title people gave him of being Dominic's

secret apprentice. Others respected him, and people would beg for him to visit their friends or family

who had contracted some disease from time to time.

He had grown accustomed to living in the limelight, although he would repeatedly tell himself that he

had never explicitly confirmed or denied the truth. It was all wishful thinking by the public. It had nothing

to do with him.

However, guilt started forming in him after such a long time. On top of that, he also feared that he might

be exposed.

Besides competing with Lily, he feared she might come out one day and expose that he was not

Dominic's secret apprentice. Therefore, Austin had been trying to use his strength to prove that he did

not need the title to be capable. Still, he was always a step behind when it came to Lily.

This time, he retrieved the data Lily had deleted. It was all based on his own skills, thus making him

feel a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that he could not buy.

Austin stretched his arms and said proudly, "Professor Thompson, now that I’ve retrieved the data, you

don't have to worry anymore. We can proceed with the experiment."

"Yes, yes. That's great, Austin! You're amazing!" Thompson was almost incoherent after the adrenaline

rush. He was so happy that he did not know what to say. He placed his hand on Austin’s shoulder and

exclaimed, "This lab would be nothing without you. Now that Lily is gone, you will take her place. In the

future, you're responsible for this project!"

"Okay!'’ Austin simply agreed. Now that he had all the experimental data and the results of the previous

successful experiments, he believed he would soon succeed.

Maria was resting at home today. She had been so busy that she did not even have time to play cards

with her friends or even have any beauty treatments done. After two days of rest, she went to the

Rollins' household for a look.

The last time she met with Austin, he told her not to let Anastasia out to eat. Instead, she should be

taking the medicine he prescribed at home. He even ordered Maria to keep an eye on Anastasia.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Maria entered the house, the whole place looked different. It was as if she

had entered the wrong house.

She quickly took a few steps back to look at the gate.

'I’m at the right house, but why is the yard empty? Where are the pots and plants that were here?

Every flower and plant that used to be all over the yard is gone.’

When she walked into the living room suspiciously, it was even emptier. Besides the furniture and

appliances, the plants, including the cactus on the window sill, were no longer around.

'Did someone break in?' That was Maria's first suspicion.

Meanwhile, Anastasia was busy talking to the housekeepers, looking very occupied, which also

confirmed Maria's assumption. However, what thieves were stupid enough to steal every single plant in

the house, making it so evident that the house had gotten ransacked?

Her eyes widened in surprise. Thinking that her eyes were playing tricks on her, she rubbed them, only

to see that the living room was still empty.

"Tasia, was there a burglary here? Where are all the plants?" She turned around, trying to find them.

After explaining things to the housekeeper, Anastasia turned to look at Maria. "No, Aunt Maria. I had

some people move them away.” "W-Why?" Maria could not understand it. "Isn't it good to have plants in

the house? They can purify the air, and it's also refreshing to see. Also, did you have to move all of

them? There's not a single pot left."
