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.

Thompson was still in a daze, only replying to her after a while, "Huh? Oh, I don’t think I locked it."

"If you didn’t, then...” With that, the clicking sounds of her heels against the floor came closer again

until she stood directly before the door, where she stopped.

Austin dared not breathe and felt as if Rhea had seen him through the door. He was on one side of the

door, and Rhea was on the other. If she opened the door now...

After some time, which felt like a century to Austin, he heard Rhea leaving again. She did not open the

door and just left.

"Professor Thompson, please remember to lock the door whenever you leave. We're at the final stages

now, and no one wants anything to go wrong."

Austin seemed to hear Thompson's reply, or maybe that was just his imagination. Finally, he let out a

sigh of relief and felt that his back was soaked in sweat.

That was something he had never felt before this. It made him feel like a thief who had just barged into

someone's territory. His legs went numb, and he had no strength left in his body.

'What kind of conspiracy am I involved in?’

Although Rhea had left, Thompson was still out there. Leaving the place was still a problem for Austin.

He would still get caught if Thompson were to head inside the room.

He regretted his actions now.

'Why did I hide in this room? I would rather have left and know nothing about what they just said.

Curiosity kills the cat, I guess. I want to know what the institute is doing now, but I know the answer

won't be something I'd like to hear. Plus, it’ll probably put me in danger.'

While he was deep in thought, the door suddenly opened.
