NovelOnlineChapter 1233
Although it was nothing, the last sentence irritated Lily.
‘What's a woman supposed to do?’
To Austin, a woman should stay home, care for her husband, have children, and play with them. That was why he deemed Lily
unworthy of being in the research field.
Initially, Lily thought he was just against her field of work. Now, it seemed like he was just sexist. No one expected him to be a
sexist b*stard behind his dignified demeanor. Lily thought that people were just blinded by his looks.
She was furious. She had not been this angry in a long tand sneered." Mr. Fike, what is a woman supposed to do? What
shouldn't a woman do? In other words, what is a man supposed to do?
"You don't seem to have been in the research field for long, nor did you achieve much in it. Won't that mean you've not done what
a man should do? You can’t do what a woman does either,” she said, rubbing her belly.

“If it weren't for the Institute of Medicinal Herbs, what rights would you have to stand here and tellwhat to do?" She was trying
to prove a point.
‘Who does this man think he is? He can only stand here and talk tobecause of the research institute, otherwise, he wouldn't
even have a chance to talk to me!
Austin did not expect this woman to be so sharp-tongued. She did not listen to him and even retorted, making him feel extremely
ashamed and annoyed.
"You..." His face flushed, and the pair of eyes behind his glasses glowed with anger. "I'm doing you a favor here! A pregnant
woman should stay hinstead of running around and trying to dip her foot into the medicinal herbs industry through money.
How shameless!"
Ultimately, he could not hold himself back anymore and spat out the last sentence.
Lily's face sank, and without hesitation, she splashed the remainder of her drink on his face. "You should learn not to assume
things!"
With that, she turned around and left.
‘What a waste of time! | wouldn't have cif | had known this would happen. What kind of scoundrel is he? What horrible
symposium did | just attend? Everything was just horrible! Why would the institute recruit such a disgusting human being? That
man has the mindset of a caveman! Gah! What a rotten day!"
As people had their eyes fixated on Austin since the beginning, they crunning over when they saw Lily splashing the drink on
his face.
"Oh my God, Mr. Fike. Are you okay?!"
"Mr. Fike, what is going on? How did this happen?!"
"Who is that woman? She's a lunatic!”
"Exactly! How did such a person get invited to this event? Who invited her?! M
At this time, Maria, who had countless failed attempts to try and talk to Austin, rushed over frantically. As she handed him a towel,
she said, "lI know who that woman is! She said she's from the Christian family!”

"The Christian family?"
Maria continued, "Yes! She said it herself! As I'm quite well-traveled, | haven't heard of such a family in our field. Have you heard of
them?"
Everyone shook their heads. "No!"
"Wait, | did hear of a Christian family a few years back that was in the medicinal herbs industry. However, they didn't make it very
big, so there's no way for them to get invited to today's symposium,” someone from the crowd said.
However, no one knew who he was talking about.
Austin wiped the juice from his face with a towel before taking off his glasses and wiping the lens. Then he slowly said, “Enough
guesses. | know who she is. She isn't anyone from the medicinal herbs industry. She's someone that researches extracts and
essences to make perfumes.”
Once he cleaned his glasses, he put them on and narrowed his eyes.
"Essences?!" Maria exclaimed. “That has nothing to do with us! How did she get in here?” "Exactly! How can such a person attend
a symposium in our industry? How ridiculous!"
