Chapter 1454


    "Don’t do that!"


    Thompson, who had his back to Austin, suddenly turned around because he thought thetter would


    call the cops right then.


    When he saw that Austin was not holding his phone but only had the research sample in his hand, he


    felt more at ease.


    However, Austin understood something from his reaction to his suggestion.


    "Professor Thompson, you’re threatened by them, right? What did they threaten you with? You''re highly


    respected in the industry and have put much effort into this research.


    If they have ill intentions, we should call the cops and let thew punish them!"


    "It isn''t as simple as you think! You’re still young and don’t understand everything that goes on in the


    dark."


    Thompson started to push Austin with both his hands.


    "Get out of here now, and don’te back anytime soon! I’m giving you a break, so you no longer


    need to worry about the research!"


    "How can I just leave everything behind?"


    At this time, Austin just had to be stubborn.


    "Professor Thompson, you''ve devoted everything to this research, and I did a lot! I’ve recovered the


    data and seeded! Look at this! Our research bears results, and it can help people! How could you


    let me leave now?"


    They got into a fight, and when Thompson saw that he could not convince Austin, he got angry.


    "Fine! Do you want to know the truth? Don’t regret it then!"


    With that, he pulled the door open, revealing someone standing there.


    The woman had her arms crossed across her chest with her head slightly lowered.


    No one knew how long she had been standing there.


    Thompson stood there, stunned, as if he were a statue.


    Austin turned and saw Thompson in a daze and the woman outside the door.


    "Rhea?"


    ‘Didn’t she leave? When did shee back? I didn’t hear her footsteps at all!’ His gaze lowered to her


    feet.


    She had donned a ck dress, but now she was barefoot as she stood there, looking extremely


    victorious.


    It was evident by now that she had pretended to leave earlier.


    Then she took off her heels and returned.


    Was it all just to catch Austin? In other words, she probably realized that Austin had been in the room


    earlier.


    She did not reveal him at the time just to catch him now, did she? "Professor Thompson, you haven’t


    changed.You''re still so kind!"


    She shook her head regretfully, flipping her hair as she raised her head.


    Her long hair brushed across her shoulders, making her appear charming without even trying.


    "He didn''t eavesdrop on purpose, R-Rhea, and he doesn’t know much.Just let him go," Thompson


    stuttered.


    Austin did not know what to say.


    "What do you mean by that? I’m just a weakdy, so what can I possibly do to him? Also, Mr.Austin is a


    genius and a descendant of the miracle doctor.Ourb needs someone like him, so why would I do


    anything to harm him?"


    Although she was talking to Thompson, she fixed her gaze on Austin the entire time.Her words were


    Thompson was smart and understood what she was trying to say.

    "Rhea, you’re brilliant and the only one we need for this research.We don’t need to involve him in this


    at all.Plus, he’s busy with the other research and has no time..."


    "Then stop all the other research!"


    Rhea cut in, demanding in a firm tone.what to say.
