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 nning to stop this project,” he asked


    solemnly. His gaze looked like it could scorch.


    “I''m still thinking about it. Are you here to dissuade me?"


    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 aplete 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 bepared to the


    medicinal herbs that cured diseases and saved lives?


    "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 ce.


    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''veid 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 y. 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!"
