Maria was stunned.She did not mean it, yet Austin seemed to have taken it seriously.
In her moment of hesitation, he put on his seat belt and retorted, "
Forget it if you don't dare to do it!"
This sentence immediately poked at her self-esteem.
'Who said | won't?"
However, Austin ignored her and started the car.
Thinking that he was angry, Maria hurriedly said, "Mr.Fike, although people are afraid of the Russell family, | couldn't care less
about them! My brother-in-law is Secretary Rollins. Why would | be scared? Just wait! I'll go beat her up right now! Will you be
willing to treat my niece if 1 beat her up?"
Austin looked ahead and did not take her words seriously.
To him, she was just a crazy woman.

"We'll see!"
With that, he started his car and stepped on the accelerator.
Maria quickly let go and watched the car drive farther and farther away. She yelled after it, "Mr.Fike, you wait! I'll do it!"
Austin was highly committed to this experiment.
After finishing his work, he headed straight to the research institute.
However, the person he saw as soon as he entered the laboratory was the last person he had expected to see.
Once he saw who the figure dressed in a lab coat was more clearly, he stepped forward and accused, "You?! Didn't you say you
quit?!"
"Huh? When did | say that?"
Lily turned around with her eyebrow raised as if she had completely forgotten it.
"Of course you did! You even said that we shouldn't continue this experiment. You said you're going to pull out!" He snapped
aggressively. He was conflicted.
On the one hand, he wanted the past data that Lily had.
On the other hand, he did not believe she could achieve anything. He did not want to see her here.
Under his interrogation, Lily pretended to think about it fora moment before waving her hands around dismissively.
"Then, let's just say | regret it!"
"What?! How can you go back on your words like that?! Do you know what it means for a gentleman not to go back on his words?!
Austin was speechless that she would pull something like this.
‘This woman is unreasonable!’ However, she smiled indifferently.
"Really? I'm afraid I'm not a gentleman. I'm a woman."
She shrugged and turned to look at the changes in the test tubes and the data values in the computer.
Austin closed in on her.
"If you don't like this experiment, why did you cback? Did Professor Thompson put you up to this? You don't understand
anything about medicinal herbs.Even if you do, it's just superficial knowledge.You've been researching for so long, yet to no
avail.You..."

Just as he rambled on, Lily suddenly turned around and poked him.
"You're so noisy!"
This shocked him for a moment.
Once he returned to his senses, he wanted to continue rambling, only to find that his mouth opened and shut, but no sound came
out.He was suddenly overcwith fright and tried to make a sound, but nothing cout.
Then he dug in his ears.
‘Did | suddenly becdeaf?’ However, he could still hear the clinks of the test tubes and the computer's beeps.
He just couldn't hear his voice.
The area Lily poked felt numb.
It was a little strange.
Could the mute acupressure point that TV shows and talked about?! No, no way! Even if it were true, how could Lily know
how to do it? This kind of thing was simply non-existent.
He had been studying for so long, yet he had never encountered anything as dumb as this mute acupressure point.
