"Granduncle, boiling this medicinal herb is a usual thing to do. | can control how much effect the herb would have on its users and
how much would get absorbed into people's blood vessels. Still, it’s too difficult to manage its absorption after evaporation.”
Austin felt helpless.
"Based on your experience, is it possible forto control the medicinal herb’s evaporation process entirely?"
Dominic threw Austin a sideway glance and pursed his lips, smiling.
"What? You haven't solved such a simple problem even after being in that stupid lab for a long time?"
"It's not like that..."
Austin heard that Lily had already solved this problem, but as he was competing with Lily, he had to figure things out
independently since she would not give him her data.
He must piece all the puzzles together by himself.
Plus, he was doubtful, not entirely believing that Lily had solved the problem and thought it was just a cover-up on her end.

‘I know so much about these herbs, and I've spent so much tfiguring things out, yet | haven't solved the problem yet! How
could she solve it before me? That's impossible! ‘Those in the lab probably don’t understand this thing and just trusted her words
blindly.
There's much to learn about medicinal herbs, and it’s not as simple as what they think it is"
Dominic did not have the patience to listen to his explanation.
He slowly waved his fan and said, "I knew it! You still got recruited with your capabilities.
That proves that those people are no experts, so it makes sense that you guys can’t solve the problem."
It was typical of Austin to get mocked by Dominic, but when it cto his specialization in this field, he would not agree to it, not
to mention Austin was competing with Lily now.
"I'm not going to agree to that. Of course, my expertise is nothing compared to yours, but I'm one of the top specialists in the
entire medicinal herb industry.I’'m not boasting about it, okay? Why can’t | get into the institute? Even that lousy woman, Lily, got
in, so why can't I?"
At this point, Austin was reminded of Lily and wanted to probe about Dominic's relationship with her.
He wanted to find out how close they were, so he brought her up on purpose.
However, Dominic did not bat an eyelid and continued fanning himself.
It was as if he did not hear what Austin had just said.
However, Austin would not give up before getting Dominic's reaction, so he approached the topic directly this time.
"Granduncle, do you know Lily? Lily Christian?"
Afraid that Dominic would not hear him again or that Dominic would feign ignorance, Austin even leaned closer to him before he
asked the question.
With that, Dominic stopped fanning himself and turned to look at Austin, his expression stern.
"Yes! | know her! What of it?"
Austin was stunned, losing his guts to ask more questions after getting scolded.
"It’s nothing.lIt’s just a random question."
Seeing Dominic displeased and not in the mood to entertain him, Austin knew he should stop with the topic.

However, he had already brought it up.
How could he just stop here without getting the answer he wanted?
"Granduncle, how did you and Lily get to know each other? Do you two have a close relationship? | think | saw her here the last
t| visited.Does she know who your secret apprentice is? Did your apprentice bring her here? Has she ever asked you anything
about medicinal herbs? She..."
"It's none of your business!"
Dominic threw his fan onto the table.
He was furious now, and it was evident from the expression on his face.

"What, brat? Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business? Do | need to report everything about who | know to
you? Why the h*Il are you asking so many questions? Get out of here! Now!"
"Granduncle, don’t be mad.l didn’t mean to probe..."
Austin panicked, not expecting Dominic to get so mad over the topic.He had only asked so many questions because he could not
contain his curiosity.
‘Ugh! It's her again! She arouses my curiosity so much that | forget my manners"
