His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1298

With his colleagues' persuasion and Austin's approaching voice, Devon finally let go.

As soon as he released his grip, fresh air quickly rushed into Thompson's lungs. He gasped heavily as he clutched his chest. His legs felt weak. He barely held himself up, but he did not want to succumb to Devon.

"Professor Thompson, don't say I didn't warn you. Your time is running out! If this experiment fails, no matter how hard headed you are, you can't defend the fact that medicinal herbs are simply garbage!" Devon let out a snort and said, "Let's go!"

Several people walked out of the room, leaving Thompson alone.

Just as Austin was about to head downstairs after not finding anyone, he saw a figure coming out from the corner of the stairwell.

The figure was staggering, with one hand supporting the wall while the other was around their throat.

"Professor Thompson!' Austin recognized the silhouette at a glance and strode over. "I've been looking for you! I have something I want to discuss with you. I've looked through the experiment, and after careful consideration, I don't think it's impossible.

"What about this? You hand this experiment over to me, and I guarantee that I'll finish it and that it will be better than how Lily would've done it. If she can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't."

Thompson was still recovering from being suffocated and trying to get his strength back. Austin sounded like chattering noises in the distance.

Once Thompson felt better, he stopped and turned to look at Austin with furrowed brows. "What did you say?"

"I said, you can leave this experiment in my hands. I'll do better than Lily!"

"You?!" Thompson questioned.

"Professor Thompson, I might not be as good at making commercial scents as Lily, but I'm sure I'm a hundred times better at making medicines out of herbs than she is. Although it's essential to incorporate raw materials into our experiment, the main selling point is the medicinal properties of the herbs, isn't it?

"As far as I know, the main reason for the failure of the current experiment is that the medicinal properties are unstable. It is either too much of it or too little of it. This is where I come in!"

Even though he had little hands-on experience, he had read all the reports in the lab and found that most of the experiments had failed at the end because the medicinal herbs were too unstable. It should not be that difficult to solve.

After so many years of studies and research on medicinal herbs, wasn't this the best time to showcase his skills?

As for the fusion of scents, Austin would ask some perfumers for advice. Even if he had to search the entire country, he was confident he could find a perfumer more skilled than Lily.

Thompson was silent. Deep down, he still hoped Lily would return to complete this experiment. However, she refused repeatedly, and each rejection meant more time wasted. He couldn't afford it anymore.

On top of that, what Austin said seemed reasonable. Thompson still thought Austin was Dominic's secret apprentice at the end of the day. He was better than Lily at medicinal herbs, that was for sure. Although it was not easy to fuse fragrance into medicinal herbs, the stability of the medicinal properties of herbs was more critical.

"Then..." He slowly looked up with uncertainty. "Do you want to try?'
