Chapter 1250
Thompson did not answer her questions directly. He only reassured her that she shouldn't worry. According to him, the institute was ready because the project had been approved and established. They just needed her to produce the results they wanted. As for the testing of the product, she did not need to be involved.
However, Lily was responsible for her creations. How could she not be concerned about the results or effects her product would have on its consumers?
Seeing that Lily had been silent for a long time and appeared to be in a daze, Austin thought that she was not listening to him or that she did not understand what he was saying. Suddenly, he became irritated and lost interest in talking to her.
Waving, he said, "Forget it! You don't understand it anyway! This isn't as simple as what you do for your perfumes. This is about medicines, and they might cause death if not dealt with appropriately! Here's some advice for you, stop with the experiment and stop coming here too!"
Lily returned to her senses and raised her brow to look at him. "Mr. Fike, what's the real reason you want me to stop with the experiment? Is it honestly because you think I know nothing about medicinal herbs? Is it genuinely because you want this experiment to stop, or..."
She stepped forward with her lips curled into a smirk, but her gaze turned cold. "Or is it just because I'm a woman?"
Austin said nothing and just looked at the woman before him. She was smaller and shorter than he was, and her belly was a little round. With her head raised, she stood before him and looked into his eyes, her gaze clear and sharp. Under her gaze, he somewhat panicked for no reason.
In that instant, he wanted to hide from her.
However, that was just his thought for a split second. He collected himself and straightened his back. "Ms. Christian, it’s pointless for you to argue with me. You understand none of the things I just said to you. You're a woman, and it's a fact that men are better than women at certain things.
