Chapter 1303
"Who the h*|l 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? | 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 becanxious and spoke quickly, "Mr. Fike, 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. | 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! | 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 surroundedthat night to talk to me. How could | remember who | 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 fand glory, but it also
brought him trouble.
Many reached out to him for various reasons. Swanted him to treat their illnesses, swanted medications, and others
wanted to learn about medicinal herbs from him. Seven wanted to "discuss" their knowledge of the field with him. He was
tired of hearing all that.
Later, he changed his phone number and told his family and friends they could not share it with anyone else without his

Hence, he did not expect this woman to get his phone number. ‘I see that she's quite capable.’
"Well, | went through a lot of trouble getting your phone number, and it's because | 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 | 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!
