Chapter 1235
"A young degenerate?" Alexander was a little surprised.
Since she had already opened up, she started to pour her heart out. "The research institute sent quite
a young man today. He looked like a refined schr until he opened his mouth.
"He said he''s on my side regarding stopping the project. He said women should stay home with their
children and do what a woman is supposed to do. He also insinuated that I only have this opportunity to
cooperate with the institute because of your money and connections!”
‘That man was something else!"
"Didn''t you intend to stop the project?"
"That''s different!" Lily shook her head. "I wanted to stop it because the research is moving in the wrong
direction, and they''ve hidden too much from me. I was starting to doubt their purpose. That''s why I
wanted to call it off.
"But that man is supportive of my decision because. I’m a woman! Don''t you think that’s outrageous?!"
‘What century are we living in? How could there still be someone so discriminatory toward women?!’
Even that sc*mbag, Nathaniel Hall, never stopped Lily because she was a woman. He only did it to
attack her and steal her life''s work.
The man she met was from a research institute. He was an intellectual with excellent knowledge. How
could there still be such an enormous prejudice toward women?
"It is outrageous. What are you going to do next?" Alexander asked, "Are you stopping the research?”
"Nope," Lily said, shaking her head.
"Is it because of that man? Are you trying to prove yourself to him?"
Hearing this made Lily snort as she shot him a look of disdain. "No way! Who does he think he is? Why
do I have to prove myself to him? Besides, for people like him, their prejudice runs deep. No one can
change it, even if the evidence is right before their eyes.
"I had a sudden epiphany. Even if I insisted on pulling out on the Blossom project, they''d get someone
else to take my ce.
Since I already feel something is wrong, I should get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, I won''t feel at ease."
That thought kept her tossing and turning in bed for over half a month.
Initially, the research institute approached her to discuss cooperation on how they wanted to develop a
product that was abination of medicinal herbs and scents for daily use. Since Lily was well versed
in scents, they wanted to use her refining and extraction techniques to retain the medicinal benefits of
the herbs and integrate a different scent into them.
Simply put, they wanted to create perfumes, essential oils, and body mists integrated with the
medicinal properties of the herbs with different therapeutic effects for daily use. It would make the
products more worthy and meaningful.
After Lily carefully listened to their proposal, although she felt the whole idea was a little far-fetched, it
was not wholly unfeasible.
On top of that, she had always enjoyed a challenge.
If the research were a sess, it would be highly significant for both the medicinal herbs industry and
the perfumery industry.
Otherwise, it would be nothing more than a failed experiment. After all, one''s sess was an
umtion of countless failed experiments.
After careful consideration and a good chat with Dominic, she felt the idea was great and decided to try
it.
However, the experiments she had conducted so far were unsessful. After all, the potentness of the

medicinal herbs was so strong that it was impossible to refine and purify them. There was always a hint
of it left in the end product.
Lily did not find it bothersome if it smelled like medicinal herbs, as the products would not be marketed
as pure perfumes. With the blend of raw materials, customers should be able to ept it.
However, the research institute did not want any lingering smell of medicinal herbs, which meant they
did not want their customers to notice the medicinal herbs in their fragrances.
