Chapter 1390
"Austin, heed my advice. Don't continue with the experiment." Lily looked at him and continued, "I know
you want to compete with me, but you don't have to do it here. This experiment shouldn't..."
"Enough!" Austin cut her off and chuckled coldly. "Who do you think you are? Why do I want to
compete with you? I think the experiment is meaningful and should continue. If you don't want to do it,
you can leave, and no one will stop you. Why destroy all the data? Who the hell do you think you are?"
Lily did not know what to say. 'It looks like I can't convince them. Pig headed people won't listen to
anything we say.'
She walked over and stood before them. Staring at the stern-looking Austin and the grieving
Thompson, she said blandly, "I’m nobody, but what I've destroyed is data I've personally gathered
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthrough the experiment. Since I created them, so what if I destroyed them myself?"
She turned and left while others whispered among themselves, clueless of what happened and why
Thompson and Lily would turn against each other.
"Data... my data..." Thompson suddenly snapped out of his trance and tried to pick up the broken
pieces.
"Professor Thompson? Professor Thompson!" Austin pulled him and shouted in vain to stop the older
man. He had no choice but to forcefully drag the professor from the floor. "Professor Thompson, the
laptop is ruined! Even if you pick up the pieces, you won't be able to reassemble them!"
"Then what should we do?” Thompson looked like he had lost all hope as he stared at Austin in a daze.
He looked haggard and helpless.
"Professor Thompson, the data is in the laptop and the database. Even if the laptop is ruined, we might
still be able to recoverthem!" Austin said in a hurry.
His words calmed Thompson down, and the older man nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes! You're right! Let's
get a computer or network expert to retrieve the data immediately! We must recover them!"
Austin turned to look at the scattered pieces and wondered why Lily suddenly became so extreme.
While leaving the laboratory, Lily knew the experiment would not stop just because of what she did.
However, destroying the data was the fastest way to delay its progress. She did not know who was
behind Thompson and what these people were truly up to, but she knew their goal was sinister.
If Alexander was still around, Lily could have someone to discuss with, but he was not only away but
also facing danger. Now she could only keep her thoughts to herself and handle the problem alone.
She went to her studio to tidy things up and stayed there till night. When she drove home alone, she
found the Rollins' car was still there. Usually, Anastasia would have eaten her meal and gone home by
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnow. However, she had stayed rather late tonight.
Lily took a deep breath and pulled herself together. No matter how stressed she was, she did not want
to spread negative energy to her friend and family.
When she stepped into the house, her beloved son jogged over and threw his arms around her legs.
"Mommy!"
His pleasant and childish voice melted her heart as she bent over and gave him a gentle hug. "Have
you been good today, honey bunny?"
"Yes!" Galen narrowed his eyes and gave his mother a big grin. "I ate!"
"You're a good boy for eating your food. Have you been up to any mischief?" Lily tapped his nose,
straightened up, and led him inward while holding his hand.
