Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1229

Chapter 1229

The hall was already full even before half past six. Instead of it being an industrial exchange, people here were more eager about the fact that Dominic's secret apprentice would be present.

Dominic was the best in the world regarding his medicinal skills. He had no more than five apprentices, and rumor was that he was extremely strict and demanding of them.

However, a few years ago, he suddenly took in another apprentice and declared that he would keep the identity of his new apprentice a secret. Since then, he had stopped taking in apprentices.

The new, young person lucky enough to be Dominic's apprentice naturally aroused everyone's interest. They were curious to see what kind of individual could have such an honor. The highlight was that everyone heard that the apprentice was young.

For Dominic to favor him must mean this person was no stranger to the outside world.

However, the people present today were acquaintances and knew each other. Naturally, none of them were Dominic's apprentices. Otherwise, they would have shared about it.

Lily had been here for a while. She had never enjoyed a buzzing crowd, so she found a quiet comer to sit in as she enjoyed the food with contentment.

She would not have come if it were not because Alexander had insisted on her coming and that people from the research institute would also be present. She wanted to hear the experts’ opinions and look for inspiration for her new project-Blossom.

If Lily did not have to attend the event, she would have been building blocks with Galen at home. She yawned at the thought of that.

Maybe it was because of how quiet she was, or maybe it was the place where she sat, but no one seemed to notice her. Then she heard footsteps walking toward her.

Just as Lily hesitated on whether to get up and change places, the footsteps stopped, and a woman's voice followed. “Mr. Langston, tell me the truth. Is Mr. Fike's secret apprentice Austin Fike?"

She whispered, "Who knows if he'll even show up to our banquet today?"

“Even if he did, you won't know who it is." Sighing, the old man said, "I think you..."

"I think if he did, we would be able to spot him in a crowd,” the woman interjected, “Look, we're familiar with most of the guests present. If there's someone we've never seen before, the possibility of him being Mr. Fike's secret apprentice is high."

Lily, who had been eavesdropping, wanted to laugh at the woman's logic. She wondered why the woman was so fixated on someone new being Dominic's apprentice.

‘Why is she so sure Dominic has chosen none of her acquaintances to be his secret apprentice?’

Lily shook her head and sipped her drink. She had not seen anyone from the research institute. She had been in touch with them, and they told her the representative was a young man with the surname “Fike.” She tried to contact him, but the other party never replied.
