Chapter 84: What Is Your Relationship with Mae?
Aaron hadn’t expected that Mark would take the initiative to find him two days later, but after being surprised, he seemed to feel that it wasn’t unexpected.
After all, looking at Mark’s attitude towards Mae that day, it wasn’t as if he didn’t have any feelings for his wife, as was rumored by the outside world.
“Is Mr. Smith looking for me because of Mae?”
Aaron didn’t beat around the bush with him and got right to the point.
Mark looked at him weakly. His deep pupils were unable to see any emotion.
In the cafe, the rich aroma of coffee filled the air, but Mark was in no mood to enjoy it. The anger that had lingered in their minds for days made him unusually uncomfortable even looking at Aaron.
“What’s your relationship with Mae?”
Finally, Mark was unable to hold back his words.
Aaron froze for a moment. For Mark, this question did not seem to be a big surprise. In the face of Mark’s invisible release of pressure, he did not have half a bit of fear. He laughed and said:
“Cooperation.”
“Cooperation?”
Mark didn’t believe it. What kind of cooperation could a biotech company have with Mae?
Aaron looked as if he could see what Mark was thinking and couldn’t help but find it funny. This Mr. Smith probably didn’t know how powerful his wife really was, right?
Even he who specialized in medical research didn’t dare take Mae lightly. This President Smith was a little too arrogant. No wonder Mae hated him enough to divorce him. Suppressing the slander in his heart, Aaron picked up his coffee, took a careful sip, and continued:
“Since you went to Beyond Technologies that day to look for Mae, you must have done some research beforehand. Mae and I are collaborating on the research and development of a special effect drug for rare diseases…”
Speaking of which, Aaron paused for a moment. He suddenly remembered something and looked at Mark, “It’s the rare disease called ADS that Mr. Smith mentioned to me before.”
“ADS?”
Hearing that name, Mark couldn’t help but sit up straight. His deep pupils were narrowing slightly as they landed on Aaron’s face. “I remember you saying before that you had no way to start making that special medicine. Have you found a way now?”
Aaron nodded. “It’s true that I didn’t have a research direction before. But that day, Mae took the initiative to find me and provide me with research ideas. That’s when I planned to start working with
her.”
When he heard Mae finished her research ideas that day. Aaron himself was shocked. The direction Mae provided was something he had never thought of, and it was also for this reason that he agreed to cooperate with Mae the next day after meeting with her.
“Since this medicine also involves a different field of medicine, I don’t know much about it. I couldn’t give you an accurate answer before.”
Speaking of which, Aaron suddenly remembered something. The sudden involvement of Smith Corporation in the medical field a few years ago, specifically for the development of drugs for rare diseases, couldn’t be because of Mae, could it?
He had also specifically mentioned ADS as a rare disease, and he had thought about researching and developing a special drug for that disease at that time, but the direction was just unclear, so it was shelved and not moved.
“You mean the main researcher of this drug is Mae?”
Mark’s tone of voice was fluctuating, obviously stunned.
Earlier, he had asked Robert to investigate Mae’s movements, but he only found out that she was working as a researcher in Aaron’s lab, but not what she was researching with him.
He even thought that Aaron was only interested in Mae’s beauty, so he set up a separate project for her to fool around with and didn’t expect that…
Mark was really shocked by this news and did not say a word for a long time.
“Of course.”
Aaron’s warm voice brought Mark back to his senses.
He looked at the surprise that was hidden at the bottom of Mark’s unwavering eyes and laughed. “It seems that Mr. Smith really… doesn’t know anything about Mrs. Smith.”
This sentence reached him with bad taste, but like a heavy hammer, it smashed into Mark’s heart.
He… knew absolutely nothing about Mae.
Gray’s project launch, as well as this rare disease drug development, every single one of Mae’s actions told him that he didn’t understand her at all.
Mae had never revealed her true self to him.
Why was she hiding this from him? Was he the one who was untrustworthy?
Gathering his eyes and lowering them, he didn’t want Aaron to see the disheartenment in his eyes. and hid all his emotions without any plans of revealing them.
When he raised his eyes again, there was no extra expression on his face.
“How far along is the project?”
Mark asked his beautiful face without any wrinkles showing no emotions at the moment.
Aaron gave him a meaningful look and truthfully said, “We are preparing for the first phase of clinical trials.”
“So soon?”
As far as he knew, it had been less than two months since Mae had returned and the project had already reached the clinical trial stage?
Aaron didn’t answer directly. He just looked at Mark with deep meaning and smiled. “Mr. Smith, don’t underestimate your wife.”

Mark’s face changed slightly. He always had the feeling that Aaron was bumping into him on purpose, and when he looked at him, his look became a little colder.
On the contrary, Aaron added another sentence.
“By the way, Mrs. Smith knows that you are involved in the drug development of Beyond Technologies, but she especially emphasized to me that she doesn’t want you to be involved in this project.”
Saying that he apologetically spread his hands to Mark. “I’m sorry, Mr. Smith, this project is Mae’s responsibility, and I can only listen to what she wants.”
Although he said that, Mark did not see a half–sorry look on Aaron’s face, but rather his sarcasm.
Mae didn’t want him on her project?
Mark wasn’t surprised by this, and when he thought of Mae’s determined eyes that day, his heart still couldn’t help but tighten.
His cold lips were tightly pursed at the moment.
After a few seconds, Aaron heard Mark open his mouth:
“All of Smith’s clinical trial channels are open. There’s no need for her to block me from anything.”
His tone seemed extraordinarily formulaic, with an air of certainty in his calmness. “I know that Mae’s project is for her daughter…”
Speaking of which, he paused for a moment, mentioning the smart and cute little girl with an apple head, his heart couldn’t help but feel a little soft in his heart.
Aaron looked at him and knew without asking what Mark meant.
Although he and this person could not be considered friends, he knew why Mae was so impatient to divorce him just by looking at his expression.
Mark, this person in front of him, was too rational and could accurately grasp the weaknesses in other people and manipulate them by pointing them out.
Aaron smiled a little and asked knowingly. “What do you mean?”
“If Mae wanted to complete the clinical trials of this drug sooner, she should not refuse to work with me going forward.”
