On the surface, it sounded like Austin was praising Lily.
However, he had a feeling that the woman before him was not someone that a few simple praises would sway.
Her attitude was a prexample of that.
Others who saw him as Dominic's secret apprentice approached him respectfully and politely.
Rhea knew that her mother was begging for his help, yet she did not even consider his presence.
There was no sense of respect from her.
It even seemed like she was a little cocky.
Austin had met many people over the years, and Rhea seemed similar to him—conceited.
People who could work in this research institute and have a close relationship with Thompson must be capable.
Those who were capable were typically arrogant, especially youngsters.
If she heard that Lily was more respected than her in this research institute, Rhea would turn green with envy.
Sure enough, a cold smile appeared on her face.

"Very capable?"
"Yeah.lt's a pity you're not on the sproject.Otherwise, there might be things you can learn from Mrs.Russell,"
Austin said smilingly, adding fuel to the fire.
Rhea shot him a glance and said, "Aren't you on the steam as her? You must've learned a lot, then."
He was speechless, and the smile on his face froze instantly.
Rhea's insipid sentence quickly diminished his burning flame.
Austin let out a stoic laugh and said, "We've learned from each other!"
He would never admit he wanted to learn from Lily.She did not deserve it.
With that, Rhea straightened up and turned to leave.
It seemed like she was done with the conversation.
After taking a few steps, she turned around.
"By the way, many have tried to help my cousin, but it never worked.If you want to maintain your reputation, it's best to leave her
alone!"
Then with a scornful smile, she turned around and left.
"Hey!"
Austin opened his mouth to retort, but Rhea had already walked away.
Suddenly, he felt the surrounding air tighten, and he began to choke.He knew she was trying to provoke him, which was her way of
getting him to see Anastasia.
Otherwise, it would mean he was not confident in his strength.
Lily had been absent from the laboratory for the past two days.
Her days spent at hmade her feel unsettled.
The only tshe could relax was when she played with her son.
Other times, she felt restless, like the raging sea.
It had been a while since she had felt this way.
Alexander had arrived safely, but after telling Lily that he had landed, she did not hear from him anymore.
There wasn't even a simple text from him.

She had tried texting him to ask whether he had resolved the matter, but he did not reply.
This worried her as she began to pay extra attention to the news revolving around Burnwken over the past two days.
After all, it was a chaotic country.
She was afraid something terrible might happen.
As this thought flashed across Lily's mind, she shook her head vigorously.She did not want to think about it.
‘Bah! Enough negative thoughts! Of course, nothing will happen.He’s such a smart and capable man.It's not like he hadn't
experienced big cities before.l know he'll chsafe and sound"
"Lily? Lily!"
Olivia called out twice before Lily returned to her senses.
"What?"
"You..."
Olivia's gaze dropped as she pointed to Lily's hand.
Lily followed Olivia's gaze and lowered her head, only to find that all the liquid in the dropper she held had leaked out.
Lily hurriedly put the dropper down and got a cloth to wipe her hand.
After that, she put the test tube aside, only for it to fall to the ground with a crisp crack.
