Chapter 1454
"Don't do that!" Thompson, who had his back to Austin, suddenly turned around because he thought
the latter would call the cops right then.
When he saw that Austin was not holding his phone but only had the research sample in his hand, he
felt more at ease.
However, Austin understood something from his reaction to his suggestion. "Professor Thompson,
you're threatened by them, right? What did they threaten you with? You're highly respected in the
industry and have put much effort into this research. If they have ill intentions, we should call the cops
and let the law punish them!"
"It isn't as simple as you think! You're still young and don’t understand everything that goes on in the
dark." Thompson started to push Austin with both his hands. "Get out of here now, and don't come

"How can I just leave everything behind?" At this time, Austin just had to be stubborn. "Professor
Thompson, you've devoted everything to this research, and I did a lot! I’ve recovered the data and
succeeded! Look at this! Our research bears results, and it can help people! How could you let me
leave now?"
They got into a fight, and when Thompson saw that he could not convince Austin, he got angry. "Fine!
Do you want to know the truth? Don’t regret it then!"
With that, he pulled the door open, revealing someone standing there. The woman had her arms
crossed across her chest with her head slightly lowered. No one knew how long she had been standing
there.
Thompson stood there, stunned, as if he were a statue.
Austin turned and saw Thompson in a daze and the woman outside the door.
"Rhea?"
'Didn't she leave? When did she come back? I didn’t hear her footsteps at all!'
His gaze lowered to her feet. She had donned a black dress, but now she was barefoot as she stood
there, looking extremely victorious.
It was evident by now that she had pretended to leave earlier. Then she took off her heels and
returned. Was it all just to catch Austin?
In other words, she probably realized that Austin had been in the room earlier. She did not reveal him
at the time just to catch him now, did she?
"Professor Thompson, you haven't changed. You're still so kind!" She shook her head regretfully,
flipping her hair as she raised her head. Her long hair brushed across her shoulders, making her
appear charming without even trying.
"He didn't eavesdrop on purpose, R-Rhea, and he doesn't know much. Just let him go," Thompson

Austin did not know what to say.
'What do you mean by that? I'm just a weak lady, so what can I possibly do to him? Also, Mr. Austin is a
genius and a descendant of the miracle doctor. Our lab needs someone like him, so why would I do
anything to harm him?"
Although she was talking to Thompson, she fixed her gaze on Austin the entire time. Her words were
laced with veiled threats, and her gaze was tinged with danger.
Thompson was smart and understood what she was trying to say. "Rhea, you're brilliant and the only
one we need for this research. We don’t need to involve him in this at all. Plus, he's busy with the other
research and has no time..."
'Then stop all the other research!" Rhea cut in, demanding in a firm tone.
