Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249

When Lily left the lab, Austin followed suit. She walked at a faster pace, but he still managed to catch up with her due to the advantage he had with his height and long legs.

Soon, he was in front of her, blocking her path. "Ms. Christian."

"What is it, Mr. Fike?" Lily stopped in her tracks, although she would rather just ignore him.

She didn't understand how he, who acted all righteous while lying and using someone else's name to become famous, could advance so far in this field.

"You know this experiment can’t succeed, don’t you? Since it’s moving in the wrong direction, why are you continuing? According to what I know, your husband has also invested much money in this project. Aren't you worried that neither of you will benefit from this?"

"How would I know that? I’m just a woman who knows nothing about medicinal herbs. How could I possibly know the outcome of this research? Mr. Fike, don’t you think your question is quite contradictory?" Lily smiled, using Austin's mocking words to reply to him.

That rendered him speechless for a split second before he began. "Fine. I'll tell you if you don't know. The direction of the entire project is wrong, and it can’t succeed! This research is also pointless, and it shouldn't be continued at all!"

There was a hint of fury in his voice. Slowly, Lily looked into his eyes with interest.

‘Fascinating. I've always thought he was just some con man, but it seems like he knows what he’s doing. Plus, he certainly has something to say about the research.’
