Ch. 1641..1650

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1641 -There were already quite a few staff members standing at the door, and the innocent, lovely girl who had been alive and kicking was now lying there with a mask on her face, her eyes tightly closed.

Lily felt her heart skip a beat as she quickly stepped forward.

One of the staff was about to push her away, but they realized who Lily was and immediately stepped aside again, knowing Lily was about to check the little girl's pulse.

Lily resolutely put two fingers on the child's wrist and gave it a light squeeze as if fearing she might break the little girl's wrist.

Debbie's pulse was weak, and Lily’s heart shrank.

That was what Lily feared.

It was almost the same incident with Alexander back then.

He seemed to heal, and modern medicine diagnosed him as normal.

However, in less than two days, in one day, to be exact, things suddenly worsened severely.

That was the cunning nature of the virus.

The virus was good at hiding, staying dormant in the patient's body before suddenly striking again when they were most defenseless.

Lily put more pressure on Debbie's wrist at the same time as a nurse, who prepared the infusion needle.

Just as the nurse was about to pierce it into Debbie, Lily stopped her.

"Don't!"

"Huh? "

Everyone in the room turned to look at her.

"Dr.Russell, her breathing is shallow.If she doesn't get an infusion now, the situation will worsen," someone stepped forward and explained.

There were two factions in this department, modern and traditional medicine.

However, traditional medicine usage decreased due to the particularity of times and effects upon consumption.

On top of that, there was internal discrimination among the staff here.

Most looked down on traditional medicine.

The discriminators only tolerated it for Dr.Blanc’s sake and the department’s vision.

However, they were stunned and dissatisfied that Lily suddenly stepped in and forbade the infusion.

After explaining themself, the staff member immediately went toward Debbie with the needle.

Lily instantly jumped in front of the hospital bed and blocked the way.

"I said, no infusion! Infusing the patient at this time will stimulate and accelerate the virus's expansion and development.That’s its trick."

Although she was being serious, everyone seemed to take the things she just said as a joke.

Ultimately, someone broke into laughter and said, "Dr.Russell, do you think this is a trick? Her vitals are dropping.

I would assume that traditional medicine practitioners would understand that it means her life will be in danger if we don't intervene!"

As soon as the staff finished talking, he ignored Lily and continued trying to set up Debbie's infusion process.

"Please, I have experience in this area! This is the virus’s trick, so I please don't proceed with the infusion because the antibiotics will accelerate the virus’s mutation and division.This moment is where the virus is the most cunning!" Lily exclaimed anxiously.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1642-Although the nurses were skeptical about what Lily said, they were not sure enough to dismiss her completely.

It was a fact that the virus had bizarre behavior.

The staff had studied the virus for so long but could not fully understand it.

Initially, the doctors thought they would have figured the virus out with so many elites working together.

However, the more they discovered, the more unprecedented the challenge became.

Still, elites from all over the world were working together to study and overcome this problem.

"Dr.Russell, please don't make it hard on us.

Can we hold you accountable for risking the patient's life because of your stubbornness not to let us treat her?"

The other party did not trust Lily.

"I can't deny the value of traditional herbs, but it will be too slow to rely on it now."

He wanted to go forward, but Lily blocked him again.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to shove her aside, he heard a yell, "Stop right there!"

Dr.Blanc had already heard the news and rushed over.

When he entered the room, he looked around and asked, "What are you guys doing?! Don’t you understand the situation at hand? Why are you two still arguing?"

His sullen eyes slowly swept over everyone in the room until they landed on Lily.

The person arguing with Lily stepped forward immediately when he saw Dr.Blanc.

He said, "Dr.Blanc, there’s a change in the virus’s trajectory, and the patient needs an immediate infusion.However, Dr.Russell has been stopping us and delaying the treatment.I suspect she has ulterior motives."

Instead of defending herself, Lily quietly turned and gently tucked the child into the blanket.

Then she reached out to feel the child's forehead, which was slightly warm.

The symptoms Debbie was experiencing now were very similar to Alexander's back then.

However, she had no experience when Alexander fell sick, and seeing that she was the closest person to him, she began to panic.

Her decisions at that time were rash, just like what the other staff was planning to do.

She had Alexander on an IV drip and other modern medical treatments.

Although his condition seemed under control, he later fell into an endless cycle of fever and drowsiness.

Later, Lily calmed down and reflected on her actions.

On top of that, she took his pulse every day to monitor the changes in his condition.

Gradually, she discovered that although his pulse became a little bit stronger in the next few days, it suddenly began to drop.

She almost could not feel his pulse at one point in time before it finally got better.

At first, she could not figure out what had happened.

However, after carefully considering some ancient medical books, she realized the virus was playing tricks on them.

The virus would strike for a short moment as a test.

Once antibiotics and other medicines got pumped into the patient, it would create a feasible environment for the virus to fission and evolve.

That, in turn, would make the virus more harmful to the human body.

In other words, it was better to treat the symptoms without any infusion or medication.

Alexander, a strong and healthy grown man, almost could not make it, let alone such a young and weak little girl.

The staff members could not read Lily's thoughts, and she did not bother to voice them.

When they saw her calmly tucking the child in, their first reaction was to grab her arm.

However, before one of them managed to touch her, Dr.Blanc pulled him back.

"What are you doing?!"

"Dr.Morris!"

The angry man stomped his foot and yelled, "I don't understand why we have to get these traditional medicine practitioners, who are here for fame, to run the show.

"Has she done anything besides boiling strange-smelling herbs and pretending to check for pulses ever since she came here? How can you still protect her at this time?!"

Beep, beep, beep...

The ECG monitor behind him began to ring.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1643-"It's too late..."

The person who had been arguing with Lily rushed over to Debbie.

However, Lily held him back.He tried to shove past her but to no avail.

It was inconvenient to move as everyone was wearing protective gear, but he had underestimated Lily for her petite figure.He had no idea where her strength came from and could not break free.

"What are you guys doing?! Save the child!"

"I said, no infusion!"

Lily shrugged her hand violently, causing him to stumble a few steps back.

Maybe it was the sudden rise in her voice, or maybe it was her domineering demeanor, but everyone in the room was stunned.

At this moment, Dr.Blanc stepped forward and looked her in the eye.

"A life is at stake!"

"I know!"

Lily answered affirmatively, "Dr.Blanc, please believe me and give me a chance! Give Debbie a chance! You'll see the effect! I know this virus very well, and we shouldn't let it fool us! The infusion will only make the virus stronger."

"What absurdity is this?!"

The person next to Dr.Blanc called out indignantly.

However, Dr.Blanc raised his hand to stop him and then glanced at the number on the screen.

Although the electrocardiogram fluctuated wildly, it was still within the safe range.

As they were arguing, the reading slowly started to stabilize.

Even after years of practice, this was still a rare incident for Dr.Blanc.

As he was still deep in thought, the person next to him could no longer suppress his anger and sneered.

"It's easy for you to say! What if the patient is really in danger? What if she died because of your misjudgment?"

"Then, I'll pay for it with my life,"

Lily interrupted him.

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

Everyone in the room was a doctor, so their duty was to save lives and treat wounds.

However, they understood that doctors could not save everyone because they were not gods.

There were always times when they would be powerless, and things would fall out of control.

Therefore, they thought Lily's declaration was a little too prideful.

After all, who would dare to put their life on the line in exchange for a patient's? After a few moments of silence, the man smiled mockingly again.

"Words carry no weight.Who can force you to give up your life when the time comes?"

"Dash!"

Dr.Blanc scolded.

Lily looked up and said, "I'll write it down on paper.No matter what the consequences are, I will bear it alone!"

It was hard for anyone to object any further since Lily seemed determined.

From the past medical theories and cases they had been in contact with, everyone knew that such a thing could never happen, but Lily was serious.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1644-"Okay, I'll leave it to you," Dr.Blanc finally said after a moment of deadlock.

"However, when can you give us an accurate result?"

"Today," she said affirmatively.

From her experience and understanding of the virus, if there were no stimulation or further acceleration through the usage of certain drugs, the virus wouldn't be able to survive for long.

With the mixture she made, the body's immune system would be prompted to fight back.

They would know if it worked by the evening.

Dr.Blanc looked intensely at her, saw how determined she was, and didn't say anything more.

One of the staff members was still hesitant.

"Dr.Blanc..."

Although she looked confident, she couldn't be the only one to bear the price if something went wrong.

However, Dr.Blanc waved his hand.

"Everyone dismissed.Go and check on the other patients.Try and pay extra attention, lest a similar phenomenon happen.Make sure to be prepared!"

With that, he left and went to disinfect himself before taking off his protective suit.

The doctor, Dashiell Stone, who had argued with Lily earlier, walked over to Dr.Blanc and said, "Dr.Blanc, I know you trust her, but I still have to say this! We are all experts in virology.Our team has people who studied abroad and have won many awards.What does Lily have? She doesn't even have a formal education in medicine.How can we just listen to her?"

"She studied traditional medicine," Dr.Blanc replied lightly as he wiped his hands.

"Besides, what she said wasn't unreasonable."

"It sure sounds unreasonable to me!"

With a sneer, Dashiell turned to Dr.Morris, who had been silent this entire time, and said, "Moe, tell me! I know you and Dr.Blanc went to find her, but...why haven't I heard of such a young and capable woman in the traditional medical field? "

After all, I have friends who are involved in traditional medicine.

At first, you said you were bringing Mr.Fike in.

But, this woman came instead.

Yes, I may have been abroad for a long time, but don't try to dismiss me just because I don't understand traditional medicine.

It takes time for people to fully understand traditional medicine.

The older they are, the more experienced they'll be.

"Look at that woman! She looks like she's in her twenties at best.What experiences does she have? What does she know?!" Dashiell snapped.

"If something goes wrong, I'm sure all of us will have to bear the responsibility with her! Moe, where did you find her?!"

Dashiell didn't dare to address Dr.Blanc up front, so he turned to Dr.Morris instead.

Dr.Morris felt his cheek burn.He did not know how to explain it.

Upon signing the non-disclosure agreement, they also promised to keep Lily's identity a secret.

They couldn't reveal that she was the secret apprentice of the miracle doctor.

At her age, even if people knew she was the secret apprentice, she would inevitably be questioned.

On top of that, there was no way her identity could be revealed now.

Dr.Morris shot a troubled look at Dr.Blanc before hesitantly saying, "Actually, Dr.Russell is very experienced.Perhaps we should learn to see things from her perspective."

"What bullsh*t perspective is that?!"

As there were no outsiders around, Dashiell did not bother being polite.

"Did she...get in because of her connections? I heard that her husband is a rich and powerful man.Could it be..."

"Dash! What nonsense are you spewing?!"

Dr.Blanc turned around and reprimanded him sternly.

"Do you know what department this is? Don't you know how people are selected to work here? What do you take this place to be? What do you take yourself and your colleagues as?!"

Dashiell quickly apologized when he realized he had said something wrong.

"I'm sorry, Dr.Blanc.I didn't mean it that way.It's just that Dr.Russell..."

"You were selected after going through the organization's assessment, and so was she.Our department is no different than others.You also signed a non-disclosure agreement when you came in.Why are you questioning it now? If this is what you think about, I doubt you can carry out your duty properly!"

This seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back for Dashiell.

"Dr.Blanc, I'm sorry! I get it now.I'll concentrate on my work and won't meddle in these things!"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1645-Lily poured out the boiled decoction.

It was steaming hot and exuded the unique fragrance of traditional herbs.

With complete focus, she poured the decoction into a bowl and turned around to put another pot on the stove.

The other pot contained a brew for detoxification and an antipyretic concoction that would be used to spray the room.She needed to dilute it before spraying.

Once she was finally done, a layer of sweat formed on her forehead.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wear any protective gear in this room.

Otherwise, she would be drenched in sweat.

It was as if she had taken a shower each time she took off the protective gear.

She would be drenched in sweat.She would have been fatigued if it weren't for her healthy physique.

Lily sat down on the stool at the side and began writing the critical data.

With one hand massaging her neck, her other hand was hard at work, writing all the data she had found.

Suddenly, she seemed to recall something.

Back when she worked under Professor Thompson, she had tried to destroy the data, but Austin managed to restore it by mistake.

Later, she wanted to hire a hacker to hack into the database.

At that time, Benedict said that he would get back to her.

Some time had passed, and she still had not heard from him.She did not know if he had forgotten or if the person he had found was not good enough.

Could it be that the firewall the research institute had put up was too strong? Lily shook her head as she continued to pat her sore shoulders.She had no idea if Austin had been found yet.

If something were to happen to him, Dominic would be...sad.

At this time, Lily heard a knock from outside the door.

"Come in."

Lily raised her head and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Dr.Russell."

It was Dr.Edmund Morris who pushed the door open.He had a folder in his hand as he walked toward her.

"Here.Dr.Blanc told me to pass this on to you."

"What is it?"

Lily suspiciously asked as she stretched out her hand to take it.

Then she lowered her head to look through the folder.

After reading the first few lines, her eyes narrowed, and she looked a little surprised.

"Asymptomatic infection?"

"Yep."

Edmund nodded.

"There are cases where the patients don't show any symptoms.To be precise, they didn't feel any discomfort, but their test results still showed that they had the virus in them."

"So, they're just asymptomatic carriers?" Lily asked after thinking about it.

She began to flip through the folder and discovered quite a few similar cases.

These people had one thing in common—none of them felt discomfort.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in close contact with the patients who were diagnosed and were admitted here, their blood samples wouldn't have been taken for testing, and no one would know that they had the virus in their bodies.

Dr.Morris shook his head.

"You can't say that! Just because they don't have symptoms now doesn't mean they won't manifest later in the future.Even if they don't feel sick, they are threats to society.You know how high the infection rate of this disease is."

"Then where are these people?"

She raised her head and asked after roughly looking through the pages.

"They're placed in another district and are under observation for the time being," he replied.

"Dr.Blanc said that you should look at these cases as well, from...your traditional medical perspective."

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1646 -"All right, I understand." She nodded.

When she saw that Edmund was still standing there, she asked, "Is there anything else, Dr.Morris?"

There was no answer.

In the end, he couldn't hold himself back any longer and asked, "Dr.Russell...Are you sure about Debbie?"

Although he had nothing good to say before, there were so many people around who belonged to different factions.He knew he should not question his colleagues in public, even if he did not fully trust her.

Questioning her in public would cause a division in the team.

There were many things that science couldn't explain, and everything must be viewed from multiple perspectives to come to a conclusion.She looked intently on him.

If this person had questioned her in the ward before, she would not have even bothered to explain.

Lily did not see the need to try and change people's preconceived doubts about her way of treating them.

"Alex had the same reaction before.At that time, I was so worried and inexperienced that I made the wrong call.Later, everything took a turn for the worse.

Fortunately, he managed to weather the storm and survive.

"Debbie is still young.I'm afraid her body might not be able to take it.The changes after the infusion are riskier than her current situation."

After a pause, she shrugged helplessly.

"I don't know how else to explain it.Do you understand what I said?"

He frowned as he listened before thinking about what she had just said.

"I get it, but are you sure Debbie's situation is similar to Mr.Russell’s?"

"I am sure!"

She nodded decisively.

Looking at her appearance, Edmund felt a little more at ease.He was willing to give her a chance.

"To be honest, I don't trust you very much," he said lightly.

"Still, [hope you're right."

In any case, they were all doctors.

They shared the same goal of curing patients, especially now.

Just as he exited the room to inspect the rest of the patients before reporting to Dr.Blanc, someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Moe!"

Edmund turned his head and saw no one.

Then he turned his head to the other side and saw a man grinning back at him.

"I've done this so many times, yet, you get fooled every time!"

"Dr.Stone, you should be more serious during working hours," Edmund said solemnly, pushing his glasses.

"Hey! Don't be so serious! We're not in the office! We're all so young.Why are you pretending to be an old soul?" Dashiell complained.

Then, just as he was about to put his arm around Edmund, Edmund dodged.

Dashiell smacked his lips and retracted his hand before walking alongside Edmund.

"Look at you.After spending so much time with Dr.Blanc, you've aged a lot! This place is dull enough as it is.Everyone is always so focused on work.You should learn to relax a little."

"This is where you're wrong, Dashiell! The entire department is an office.We are working every second and every minute.Also, it's not good to talk about people behind their backs, let alone criticize Dr.Blanc."

Edmund stopped and said every word with a straight face.

Dashiell was stunned by this.

When he saw that Edmund had carried on walking, he hurried over to catch up.

"I'm not criticizing ...Okay, okay! This is my fault! We're all friends here.Even if we're not, we're still colleagues.You don't have to be so cold!"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1647 -"Dashiell Stone!"' Edmund stopped and turned to face him solemnly.

"You made a mistake in the data last time.I hope you won't repeat it!"

A trace of impatience immediately flashed across Dashiell's face when Edmund mentioned the mistake.

Dashiell sighed and put his arm around Edmund's shoulder.

"I know, I know! It's just a tiny mistake! You can tell at a glance that I didn't do it on purpose! "Dr.Morris, you're the best.What about a drink as a toast to how good you've been to all of us?"

"No drinking during working hours!" Edmund frowned.

"Where do you even get the alcohol?"

The department prepared every meal here, and they could not go home to drink at will.

Where were they going to have a toast? Dashiell burst out laughing when he saw the look on Edmund's face.

"I'm just kidding! Of course, I don't have any alcohol on me.It's a joke! I mean, in the future, once this is all over.We must go out to drink as a celebration.It's my way of thanking you!"

"It's part of my duty."

Edmund heaved a sigh of relief when he heard it was just a joke.He was about to turn to leave when Dashiell blocked him again with a smile.

"Dr.Morris, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?"

Edmund answered coldly.He was in a rush, yet Dashiell kept bugging him.

Although he was starting to lose his patience, Dashiell was still his colleague.

On top of that, Dashiell had just returned from studying abroad and had picked up their culture.

Therefore, he could be more outgoing than the people here.

"How well do you know Dr.Russell?"

He gestured behind him and said in a low voice.

Edmund did not answer.

"Didn't you and Dr.Blanc go to look for Mr.Fike together? You should know best.How did such a young girl end up joining our team? That woman...Where did she come from?"

Dashiell took out a cigarette and handed it to Edmund as he b.e.a.n spoke. Edmund frowned as he stared at the cigarette.

"This is not a smoking area."

"Oh..."

Dashiell stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket and smiled awkwardly.

"Look at you.You don't smoke or drink and seem to care for yourself very well.I'm not trying to pry here.I'm just looking out for our department.

"Look, although we've signed a non-disclosure agreement before coming in, we still know a thing or two about each other.You're a top student from the top medical university in Hyderland, and I'm a medical graduate from abroad.This research center comprises various talented individuals, and even Dr.Blanc has years of experience, but that woman...Does Dr.Blanc trust her?"

Edmund fell silent.

Dr.Blanc did trust her, probably for Dominic's sake.

However, through recent observations, even Edmund started to feel that Lily was talented.

On top of that, the mice in the experiment had been injected with the virus.

While other mice were either dead or still recovering, those Lily had fed with traditional herbs were alive and kicking.

From a data point of view, her medicine seemed more practical.

"Dr.Morris?" Dashiell called out, seeing that he did not respond.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1648 -After returning to his senses, Edmund seemed to have relaxed a little.

However, he persisted.

"Dr.Stone.Those who come here are not ordinary people.You aren't a nobody either.Dr.Blanc mentioned before that we should focus on beating the virus rather than other people's affairs.What we should do now is focus on doing our tasks well."

After a pause, he continued, "We corrected the mistake you previously made in the nick of time, so there were no irreparable consequences.It wasn't reported to the higher-ups as well.However, if there happens to be another..."

"No, no.There won't be a next time!"

Dashiell interjected and said smilingly, "I promise I won't make such a rookie mistake again! You're right, Dr.Morris.I shouldn't ask so many questions.All right, time's almost up.I should get back to work!"

After he finished speaking, he retracted his arm and left.

Edmund looked at Dashiell walking away and shook his head helplessly before continuing along his path.

"How’s everything going?"

A low and hoarse voice sounded.

It was a voice he could recognize without seeing a face.

This voice was his nightmare.

It was a nightmare he could not wake up from.

That voice was the only thing ringing in his ears.

Raising his head slowly, he looked at the person standing on the chair.

The person was no taller than himself.

Mike's hands trembled as he humbly answered, "Everything is ready.You can leave any time you want."

"Great! I can finally leave this ghost town tomorrow!"

The man opened his arms and laughed loudly.

The laughter echoed in the room, making the hairs on Mike's arms stand.

"Why aren't you smiling? Aren't you happy?! We're one step away from success! Once we relocate, our experiment will be successful! By then, the whole world will obey my orders!"

The man had a strange look in his eyes as he clenched his fingers into a fist.

Mike lowered his gaze.

"I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but I'm just afraid things won't go as smoothly as we've planned."

"Huh?! Are you questioning me?!"

The man suddenly became angry as his eyes lit up in a fury.

"I'm not questioning you, but we are seriously short on workforce right now.On top of that, you know how the rumors are sounding outside.I'm worried that..."

"What are you worried about?!"

The man interrupted Mike unhappily.

"Listen to yourself! Don't you see how chaotic the world is right now? This is our time! Soon, a group of people will die, while the rest will be my slaves!"

Hearing this, Mike sighed.

"As far as I know, the virus is spreading very quickly, and the fatality rate is low.The whole world is trying to overcome this..."

"Huh?!"

The man suddenly grabbed Mike's collar.His stare through the mask almost burned holes into Mike's face.

"What are you trying to say?! Don't forget.Your son..."

"I know my son is in your hands, and I'm not trying to go against you.

We're on the same team.

If we succeed, I will reap the benefits as well.

Remember that I am a businessman, and my main goal is to make money.

"I know how much I can earn if this virus goes out of control, and we're the only ones in the world with the antidote."

After a pause, he continued, "But...what if someone made the antidote first?"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1649 -"You mean those groups of losers?!"

The man laughed sarcastically, not taking what Mike said seriously.

Mike shook his head.

"No.I heard that a group of professionals has gathered to study this virus.I'm afraid that..."

"Enough of being scared! There's a saying that you Hyderlanders like to say; you can't get out of the house if you live in fear!"

With a cold snort, the man continued indifferently, The whole world had been studying it for two to three months, yet, what's the result? How smart do you think Hyderlanders are? You guys are nothing!"

"With that said," Mike paused.

"Don't forget that Lily and Rhea are from Hyderland.We Hyderlanders aren't as dimwitted as you think.You still need our help at the end of the day."

What Mike said immediately reminded the man of something as he squinted his eyes.

"Forget Rhea.Didn't I ask you to get Lily for me? What have you been doing? If she isn't working for me, there’s no use for her to live any longer!"

"As I said, she's not as soft as she looks.She's different from me..."

Before Mike could explain, the man interrupted him coldly, "What is the difference?! Everyone has their weaknesses! Doesn't she have a son? Isn't she pregnant as well?! A mere pregnant woman is an easy target.

"Mike Corden, I'm genuinely starting to doubt your abilities! If it weren't for the fact that you insist that you will handle this, I'm sure my men would have done it in a blink of an eye! I'm warning you.I'll give you three more days! Three more days, and I will step in if you still don't succeed!"

"Lily hasn't been home, and she's not answering her phone.I don't think she's in Hyderland,"

Mike quickly explained, "Although she managed to escape the last time I tried to drug her, Lily must feel that she's in danger.I suspect she went into hiding with her son."

"Hiding?"

The man gave Mike a sideway look and sneered.

Suddenly, he clapped a few times.

Mike jumped.

Then he heard the door open, and high heels echoed.He immediately knew who was coming.

Rhea walked in with both hands on her chest.She was holding a phone in one of her hands, and a short clip was playing on it.

With a smile, she walked up to Mike and shook the phone in front of him.

It was Lily in the video.

In the video, Lily parked a car on a vast lawn in front of a big house.

She was holding the child as she walked in, but the video ended right after she entered the door.

It seemed like they could not take pictures inside.

"This..."

"Your news is so outdated!""

Rhea said mockingly, "Even I can easily find that she sent her child to a manor near Operose.You don't know a lot of things.Are you honestly clueless, or are you hiding it from us?"

After saying this, she turned to look at the man in front of her.

"Boss, I told you he's unreliable!"

"I-I didn't know about this,"

Mike defended himself with a dazed face.

"I'm not trying to hide it from you.You know that most of my men are abroad.I only have a few connections here in Hyderland.

"where is that place? Since you've already discovered their whereabouts and had a video of them, why didn't you take her son away? Are you trying to frame me?" He looked at Rhea tauntingly.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1650-In the face of his interrogation, Rhea did not falter.

Instead, she smiled and said, "Oh? Are you trying to draw attention to me? Mike, remember that we have different responsibilities.

I am in charge of research and development, while you're in charge of logistics.

"What's more, isn't Lily an old friend of yours? Don't you know her son quite well? Don't you think you'll be the best person to kidnap her son?"

"It's because I know her very well that it's easier for me to scare the snake if I come forward."

Mike squinted at her as he studied the attractive face in front of him.

However, the twinkle in her eyes couldn't hide the conniving person she was.

"Rhea, you said you're in research and development, but what have you developed? You've been using products we've developed through previous research.You know what the boss wants the most, yet it seems you're not succeeding.You're starting to make me doubt your ability."

"You..."

Rhea's expression changed after being called out.

However, Mike ignored her and continued, "It's no wonder the boss is so anxious to get Lily to join the team.After all, she’s indeed much better than you in this aspect! That person is coming soon, and time is running out! "If you can't do it, you should let everyone know.That way, we’ll n.ovelebook devise a backup plan rather than wasting our time waiting for you."

At this point, Rhea was gritting her teeth in anger as she snapped lividly, "The boss can see my ability, and my achievements are known worldwide.You don't need to challenge me.If Lily is so amazing, bring her here! That way, we can compare who's better.I'm curious about how good she is.I'd like to know who's the best here.Is it me or her?!"

"I'm starting to worry that some people's barks are louder than their bites.That's why they always resorts to manipulation and murder."

"What did you say?!"

"You know what I'm talking about!"

"Mike Corden, you better explain yourself right now!"

"What's wrong? Should I be clearer? Are you saying that the car chase and accident with Lily had nothing to do with you?"

To!

"Enough!"

The man who had been quietly watching this was interrupted.

"Why are you two arguing?! We're on the same side.What is this fuss about?! Is Lily worth all this?!"

"Boss..."

Rhea had more to say, but a look from the man immediately shut her up.

"Mike, you don't have to act all eloquent here.I will give you three days.Three more days! I will send my men to finish the job if I don't see Lily here.Don't blame me for not giving you a chance then!"

Although Mike had a frown on his face, he did not refute and only nodded.

"Okay."

"Alright, you're running out of time.You should get going!"

The man waved his hand dismissively.

As Mike turned around, the man called out, "By the way, you bean don't have to come tomorrow when we move.We won't need you here.It's best if you keep a low profile!"

"Got it," Mike replied and walked out.

"Boss, do you honestly not want him here tomorrow? Aren't you afraid he might be up to no good?" Rhea asked as she looked back.

"I'd like to see him try." The man grinned evilly.

"Keep an eye here for me, especially on R18.The recent data seems extremely unremarkable.See if we still need it.Otherwise, you can just scratch that."
