Chapter 1232
However, judging from his actions in such a short time, he was not out of touch with the outside world.
This meant that he saw the message but deliberately ignored her.
Although it was a person's choice whether to reply to a message, he seemed to want to talk to her, yet refused a more
convenient channel. This man was not an easy person to deal with.
After being called out, Austin was stunned for a short while before returning to his senses with a slight smile. "I prefer talking to
someone face -to-face. Although it's easier to text, it's also easier for misunderstandings and misinformation to happen.”
Now, this was a new excuse.

"However, that's not the point. | want to know if you're really planning to stop this project,” he asked solemnly. His gaze looked like
it could scorch.
“I'm still thinking about it. Are you here to dissuade me?"
Lily raised her head to look at him. Although she was not short, the man in front of her was extremely tall, making her look petite.
This action would have made her neck sore if it weren't because she was used to looking up at Alexander.
She had only brought it up once since she did not know the details or purpose of the project. The institute was afraid that she
might stop the project and had tried to coax her a few times.
This time, it seemed like they had sent Austin over to try and dissuade her again.
Unexpectedly, this man said, "Nope! I'm here to tell you that | hope you stop thinking about it and just do it!"
"Huh?"
This was the first person from the research institute who did not try to dissuade her. Lily, who was about to doze off, suddenly
becinterested.
"I personally feel like that research is a complete waste of time, energy, and financial resources. On top of that, there are no good
purposes! Besides...” After a pause, his thin lips curled into a faint, mocking smile.” With all due respect, your research has always
been on extracts and essences. Those have nothing to do with our medicinal herbs. | think it's absurd to pull you in and work
together with US."
Lily fell silent.
He didn't want to cooperate with her because he looked down on her! Lily understood what was going on now.
No wonder he did not bother to reply to her message on WhatsApp. It was no wonder he wanted her to stop this project. He found

After all, she was just a researcher of extracts and essences. How could she be compared to the medicinal herbs that cured
diseases and saved lives?
"I see what you're trying to say here.” Lily nodded slightly. She was not angry as she took a few sips from her drink.
After pondering for a while, she asked, "I have a question. Is what you just said a representative of the whole research institute?”
If this were what the research institute wanted, she would pull out of the project. However, she found it strange why they
approached her to discuss cooperation in the first place.
Austin raised his chin and bluntly replied, "It's my own opinion! | don't know how you negotiated a deal with the institute or what
conditions you've laid out with them for this. | heard your husband is an aristocrat engaged in big industries. | hope you know that
scientific research isn't child's play. It's not the sas investing in, let's say, a movie or striking a business deal. | think you
shouldn't meddle in matters that involve the life and death of a human being."
As he spoke, his eyes moved down to her protruding belly. "Ms. Christian, | think you should stay at hand do what a woman is
supposed to do!"
