Chapter 1234
"How can the invitations be sent out so carelessly?"
"From what | see, | don't think anyone even invited her! She must have snuck in when no one was looking!"
People chimed in with their opinions, one after the other, but Austin remained quiet. He did not agree or refute as he stared toward
the door in a daze.
Lily had changed her mind about the project from how he saw it. It seemed like she was not going to put a halt to it. However, he
still found it childish and whimsical for her to try and cooperate with a research institute for someone who knew nothing about
medicinal herbs.
Had power finally penetrated their pure and niche industry?

Alexander was already in the living room when Lily reached home, playing with Galen.
In the vast living room, the coffee table and cabinets were empty. A thick and soft carpet lay across the floor for the child to crawl
around and play. Alexander doted on the child so much that Lily feared their next child might be a daughter.
Since Alexander was already spoiling Galen this way, Lily was afraid he would spoil her rotten if she had a daughter.
"Back so soon?" Alexander had a small building block in his hand when he looked up at his wife smilingly.
Lily hummed in response as she removed her coat and handed it to the housekeeper. After she changed out of her shoes and
washed her hand, she approached the father-son duo.
When the little boy saw his mother, he babbled and staggered toward her. Lily pulled him into her embrace and lowered her gaze
to look at Galen quietly.
After being with her for so long, Alexander could easily read her emotions.” The symposium didn’t go well, huh?"
He knew his wife was a workaholic. When it cto things she was interested in, she would be so immersed in them that she
would forget to eat and sleep. She had even brought hher work multiple times. If it were not for her pregnancy, she would
have traveled all over the country to find the raw materials and herbs she was keen on.
However, seeing that she had returned so early with resentment written all over her face, Alexander could safely assthat the
event she went to did not go well.
Lily did not answer and kept her head down as she played with Galen's toys.
Alexander thought for a moment before he asked again, "Did the discussion go badly?"
"Discuss my a's," Lily whispered the last word. She seemed to realize she was in the presence of a child and quickly stopped
herself. Despite that, she still pursed her lips up in anger.
On the other hand, Alexander could not help but laugh when he saw her like this. He thought she would be calmer after what she

He got up and moved next to her before pulling her into his arms. "Who made my queen unhappy? Do you needto teach them
a lesson?" He teased.
Lily snorted. "I won't dare to. After all, as a woman, | should stay hand care for my husband and children. How dare | go out
and steal a man's job?
The fury in her rose even more as she spoke. ‘That b*stard!"
Alexander was quick. Although he did not know the details, he quickly understood her meaning. "What did those old hags at the
research institute say?"
He had also dealt with the research institute a few times. The people there were generally older, and most were men. It was not
uncommon for them to say such phrases.
"It's not the old hags. It's a young degenerate!” Lily fumed. "For a man his age, his mindset is worse than those born 2000 years
ago!"
