Chapter 1233
Although it was nothing, thest sentence irritated Lily.
‘What''s a woman supposed to do?’
To Austin, a woman should stay home, care for her husband, have children, and y with them. That
was why he deemed Lily unworthy of being in the research field.
Initially, Lily thought he was just against her field of work. Now, it seemed like he was just sexist. No
one expected him to be a sexist b*stard behind his dignified demeanor. Lily thought that people were
just blinded by his looks.
She was furious. She had not been this angry in a long time and sneered." Mr. Fike, what is a woman
supposed to do? What shouldn''t a woman do? In other words, what is a man supposed to do?
"You don''t seem to have been in the research field for long, nor did you achieve much in it. Won''t that
mean you''ve not done what a man should do? You can’t do what a woman does either,” she said,
rubbing her belly.
“If it weren''t for the Institute of Medicinal Herbs, what rights would you have to stand here and tell me
what to do?" She was trying to prove a point.
‘Who does this man think he is? He can only stand here and talk to me because of the research
institute, otherwise, he wouldn''t even have a chance to talk to me!
Austin did not expect this woman to be so sharp-tongued. She did not listen to him and even retorted,
making him feel extremely ashamed and annoyed.
"Y-You...” His face flushed, and the pair of eyes behind his sses glowed with anger. "I''m doing you a
favor here! A pregnant woman should stay home instead of running around and trying to dip her foot
into the medicinal herbs industry through money. How shameless!"
Ultimately, he could not hold himself back anymore and spat out thest sentence.
Lily''s face sank, and without hesitation, she sshed the remainder of her drink on his face. "You
should learn not to assume things!"
With that, she turned around and left.
‘What a waste of time! I wouldn''t havee if I had known this would happen. What kind of scoundrel
is he? What horrible symposium did I just attend? Everything was just horrible! Why would the institute
recruit such a disgusting human being? That man has the mindset of a caveman! Gah! What a rotten
day!"
As people had their eyes fixated on Austin since the beginning, they came running over when they saw
Lily sshing the drink on his face.
"Oh my God, Mr. Fike. Are you okay?!"
"Mr. Fike, what is going on? How did this happen?!"
"Who is that woman? She''s a lunatic!”
"Exactly! How did such a person get invited to this event? Who invited her?! M
At this time, Maria, who had countless failed attempts to try and talk to Austin, rushed over frantically.

As she handed him a towel, she said, "I know who that woman is! She said she''s from the Christian
family!”
"The Christian family?"
Maria continued, "Yes! She said it herself! As I''m quite well-traveled, I haven''t heard of such a family in
our field. Have you heard of them?"
Everyone shook their heads. "No!"
"Wait, I did hear of a Christian family a few years back that was in the medicinal herbs industry.
However, they didn''t make it very big, so there’s no way for them to get invited to today''s symposium,”
someone from the crowd said.
However, no one knew who he was talking about.
Austin wiped the juice from his face with a towel before taking off his sses and wiping the lens. Then
he slowly said, “Enough guesses. I know who she is. She isn''t anyone from the medicinal herbs
industry. She''s someone that researches extracts and essences to make perfumes.”
Once he cleaned his sses, he put them on and narrowed his eyes.
"Essences?!" Maria eximed. “That has nothing to do with us! How did she get in here?” "Exactly!
How can such a person attend a symposium in our industry? How ridiculous!"
