Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1290

Chapter 1290

Back then, at the entrance of the research institute, he insisted that a woman should not be doing these things. He yelled at her to withdraw from the project. Now, he was outside her studio, telling her it was all a coincidence. She found it unbelievable.

"If I said I was just passing by, would you believe me?’

"Haha." Lily let out a dry laugh without saying anything else. Instead, she stared at him with a smile, creeping him out.

‘Weirdo!’ He thought to himself. He was obviously just passing by.

‘Why is she staring at me like that, insinuating that I'm making excuses?

Thinking of this, he became more confident and puffed up his chest. Then he pointed at the car and asked, "Is this car yours?’

Lily followed his finger and replied, 'So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

Austin did not know what to say to this woman. In the end, he asked, ‘So, it was you at my second granduncle's house the other day"

"Your second granduncle?" Lily raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly.

"Mr. Fike, Mr. Dominic Fike," Austin said without hesitation. He was very curious about her relationship with his granduncle.

"Oh, so Dominic Fike is your second granduncle" Lily nodded as if she had just caught on to his words.

This suddenly made Austin feel proud, and he began to brag, "Of course! Do you understand now why I advised you to withdraw from the project? It's not just empty words. I come from a family of doctors.

"My family has been studying medicinal herbs for generations. How can a normal person like you understand the profoundness of medicinal herbs? Your commercial fragrances are nothing compared to it. Yours are for children"

Everything he said showed how much he looked down on the perfumery industry.

In his opinion, those products were made to satisfy women. It was almost like a distraction that was a waste of money. How could those products compare to theirs, which could heal people and save lives?

Besides, the inherent scent of the medicinal herbs was their signature. Be it bitter or sour, why should it be covered up? Using commercial fragrances would mask it.

All of his previous apprentices were men, after all.

Thinking of this, Austin was reassured that Lily was not Dominic's secret apprentice. The only possibility was that the two somehow became acquainted. That would explain why Dominic saw her in a different light.

Lily did not answer.

His guess was so close, yet so far.

However, she just chuckled.

"Wait, am I right? So, you know who my granduncle's apprentice is? Who is he? How do you know him?" Austin had always been curious about who this mysterious person was that attracted his granduncle's attention.

Dominic would not even take his own grandnephew in.
