Chapter 1303
"Who the h*lI are you?" Austin tugged at his collar as he spoke in a tone that contrasted with his usual
gentlemanly appearance.
"I-I’m Mrs. Moore. We've met before." The woman sounded slightly upset but spoke in an ingratiating
manner.
Austin had no idea who she was. "Mrs. Moore? Which one? I don't know a Mrs. Moore!’’
Besides his relatives and a few friends, Austin had little interaction with women, let alone someone
else's wife. As the woman said she was Mrs. Moore, Austin thought he would not know such a person.
Plus, why would he be in contact with someone else’s wife?
However, that did not apply to Lily.
Maria could sense that Austin was going to hang up soon. She became anxious and spoke quickly, "Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFike, I’m Mrs. Moore. We met at the seminar the other day and exchanged a few words. At that time,
you were even..."
She wanted to bring up that he had been splashed with a drink that night but realized that doing so
would offend Austin.
Hence, she quickly stopped and said, "Many people surrounded us. I bet you met too many people, so
you wouldn't remember me. Haha..."
With an awkward laugh, she tried to cover up what she was about to say, afraid she might upset Austin,
but it was already too late. Austin knew what she was going to say, and it reminded him of the incident
that night.
He couldn't recall her, but he could recall how Lily had splashed a glass of water in his face in front of a
large crowd that night. He felt humiliated by it.
'Great! Another reason to hate her! I see that our enmity can never be settled in this lifetime.'
"Mr. Fike, do you remember now?" Maria asked carefully because she was not hearing anything from
him.
'Remember my a*s! So many people surrounded me that night to talk to me. How could I remember
who I spoke to?'
Displeased, he asked, "How did you get my phone number?"
Austin would not share his phone number with outsiders easily, and he also told his family members to
do the same. It was because of situations like these, since he did not like being bothered by all these
people.
Ever since everyone thought he was Dominic's secret apprentice, he could not deny that it brought him
fame and glory, but it also brought him trouble.
Many reached out to him for various reasons. Some wanted him to treat their illnesses, some wanted
medications, and others wanted to learn about medicinal herbs from him. Some even wanted to

Later, he changed his phone number and told his family and friends they could not share it with anyone
else without his permission. If he found out about it, he would cut off all ties with them, which was how
things became better for him.
Hence, he did not expect this woman to get his phone number. 'I see that she’s quite capable.'
"Well, I went through a lot of trouble getting your phone number, and it's because I have something
important to discuss with you. Would you be free to discuss it over dinner sometime?"
Austin looked up into the mirror and saw his reflection. He spat coldly," No!"
Maria was stunned because she did not expect him to be so hostile and reject her in such a harsh
manner. This caused her to feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Fike, you haven't heard what it is yet, but you've already rejected me. Don't you think it's a bit rude
of you to do that? Plus, what I want to tell you is something beneficial to you. Do you really..."
Before she could finish her words, Austin interjected impatiently, "I don't need that!
