Lahat ng Kabanata ng Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Kabanata 1361 - Kabanata 1370

Unexpectedly, Rhea said, "I know! You're talking about Mr. Dominic's secret apprentice. Is there any proof of it? As far as I know, he has never disclosed who his apprentice is. Could he just be a fraud?""No, no!" Maria quickly defined. "I heard about this from an insider. It took me a lot of effort to find that informant. I'm sure the news is reliable! Mr. Austin has never publicly declared that he is Mr. Dominic's secret apprentice. He's not a liar. He took excellent care of my friend's cousin's grandson!"Rhea was speechless at her mother's feeble attempt to convince her."All right, now. Let's not talk about this. It's making me angry! That brat doesn't even appreciate my efforts!" The more Maria talked about this, the angrier she became. In the end, she waved around and stopped talking."Did you say that Anastasia doesn't want to be cured? That she doesn't want to lose weight?" Rhea asked again after returning to her senses."Who knows?! I think Mrs. Russell is brainwashing

Even if the woman did not stay up, it was still early for her to be here."Hold up, Professor Thompson. I have a quick question to ask." With that, Austin quickly turned around and went downstairs.However, as soon as he reached the first floor, he realized that Thompson was alone. The woman seemed to have left."Austin, what's the matter?" Thompson asked with a smile, apparently waiting for him."It's just a little bump I've encountered during the experiment." Looking over his shoulder, Austin asked, "Professor Thompson, who was that woman just now? Is she also from our institute? Why is she here so early?""Oh, she is, but she's working on another project," Thompson answered lightly. "That's why you haven't seen her much. So, what is it that you want to ask?"Ignoring his question, Austin nodded. "Oh, I see. I never knew we were doing other projects. I've never heard you mention anything about them. What project is it?""Austin, you've been here long enough to know that you sh

The woman ignored his anger, and her lips' corners curved upward slightly. "I don't know you, but we will once we talk."Austin did not know what to say.‘The world has changed! When did women become so bold and crazy?!’Before this, there was Lily, who was always there to condemn him everywhere he went. Now, this woman also happened to be from the research institute.‘Are all the women from this institute insane?!’At that moment, Austin suddenly remembered that she was a part of the research institute and that Thompson said she was working on another project. With that in mind, he toned down his temper."All right, but this isn't a suitable place to chat. Let's go somewhere else." Austin glanced around and suggested, "There's a nearby—""Here is just fine," she interrupted him. "Let's just talk here.""Here?" Austin looked around. They were close to the laboratory building, and although it was still early, it was almost time for work. There would be people coming in and out f

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 prime example 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. It's a pity you're not on the same project. Otherwise, there might b

"What do you mean?" Olivia was a little curious.After all, it was a yes-or-no question."Instead of saying that I'm helping her lose weight, it's more of trying to cure her illness."When Lily picked up the teacup, there was an anti-scalding cover over it. It wasn't hot enough to burn her hand, but she felt refreshed when the heat blew against her face."Cure her illness?" Olivia asked, a little puzzled. Then something clicked. "I get it now. Other things cause obesity. Does it have something to do with her endocrine system?"To her surprise, Lily shook her head. "No."After saying a word, she fell silent again and blew on the tea as if deep in thought.Olivia did not bug her either. She just found all this a little strange.After a while, Lily finally spoke. "I haven't figured it out yet. It's just a wild guess. I'll have to look deeper into it.""Oh," Olivia responded. Just as she stretched out her arm to pick up her glass of tea, she saw Lily put hers down and stand up. "I
