Ch. 1961..1970

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1961 -The house was so quiet that one might think no one was inside.

Alexander stood in the living room for a minute before Anastasia came downstairs—she had lost so much weight that he could not recognize her initially.

Anastasia was wearing a black dress and slippers as she greeted him, "Hey, Alex."

"Where’s your father?"

"My father is still resting," she whispered, gesturing as she glanced upstairs.

Alexander was puzzled.

"Resting?"

‘It’s unusual for Cameron to be resting at this hour"

Alexander knew she used the same excuse to turn away visitors when her father was unwell.novelebook.comHence, he wondered why Cameron was still resting now that the toxins had been removed from the latter.

"Why are you visiting us so suddenly?" Anastasia asked and gestured for him to take a seat.

However, she was strangely reserved and did not tell the servant to serve him drinks.Since Alexander was usually observant, he knew something was amiss but could not figure out what or why.He asked, "Did something happen?"

"No." Anastasia shrugged it off with a smile.

"Besides my father feeling weak and needing more rest, everything is fine.Anyway, I must thank you and Lily.If it weren't for you guys, my father’s toxin wouldn't have been removed so soon."

She tried to smile and sound light-hearted, but there was uneasiness in her eyes.Alexander knitted his brows and carefully observed the place.

"So why are you here? My father has been feeling weak and might not wake up anytime soon.How about you tell me what it’s about, and I'll convey your message to him later?" she continued.

Instead of replying to her question, Alexander asked, "Many of your servants aren't around.Besides that, your father seems to have dismissed his personal guards, right?"

Hearing this, Anastasia glanced left and right and chuckled.

"Yeah, we think we overworked our servants before this, so after my father regained consciousness, he told them to take turns going home to rest.As for the guards...now that my father has come to, he no longer needs that many."

"I see."

Nodding thoughtfully, Alexander nodded thoughtfully and gazed at Anastasia deeply.

The latter felt uncomfortable and pulled at the helm of her dress before repeating her question, "So, what brings you here?"

Alexander nodded.

"I'm here for something important.I must tell Cameron in person, and it can't wait.I'll go and see him now.Wake him up, please."

"No!"

Anastasia realized her exclamation shocked Alexander.She caught herself and smacked her hand to her mouth as she revealed an embarrassed smile.

"M-My father has been weak and hates being disturbed during his sleep.He'll lose his temper.

"When he was sleeping two days ago, I woke him up to ask him if he wanted to eat anything, and he got angry and told me not ever to disturb him no matter what when he’s asleep.So I think..." she paused, "it’s best not to do so."

Alexander raised his brow.

"I see.But I’m not afraid of him losing his temper since I have something urgent to tell him.I'm ready to bear the consequences."

Then he ran upstairs.

‘No! This doesn't feel right at all!’ Alexander sensed something terribly wrong when Cameron did not answer his calls, even before entering the house.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1962-Anastasia’s reaction confirmed Alexander's suspicions.

If he did not clear the air today, it would be a waste of time for him to come here.

"Alex..."

Hesitant and nervous, Anastasia's voice was a little shaky.She got up and chased after him.

"Don't—"

"Tasia, what happened? What happened to your father?!"

Alexander stared into her eyes and asked sharply.

"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?!"

"No..."

She bit her lower lip embarrassedly but could not continue.

Alexander took a deep look at her before suddenly sprinting upstairs.He was so fast that she did not have time to react.

"Alex..." She called out and quickly chased after him.

However, she was too late and could only trail behind him.

Alexander knew the way and went straight to Cameron's bedroom.

The bedroom door remained closed, but he could not be bothered.

In the face of danger, there was no need to be polite.He quickly pushed the door open, only to find no one inside.novelebook.comHe was startled, then turned to look at Anastasia, who had been chasing after him.

"Where is he?" She did not answer.

Seeing this, Alexander decided to look for the answer himself.He turned around and searched each room, novelebook.combut they were all empty.

Not only was there no one inside but all the beds were still made, showing that no one had slept in them.

Anastasia could no longer hold it in and cried, "Alex, you don't have to keep searching.My dad isn’t here."

"Then, where is he?"

He shook his phone.

"I tried calling him, but he didn't answer.Where is he? Did something happen?"

"No, no!"

She replied in a panic, but Alexander caught on to her hesitation.

"Anastasia Rollins!"

Alexander had never called her by her full name before.He usually addressed her as "Ms.

Rollins’ back then, and now, he would call her by her first name.He treated her like his younger sister almost.

However, he was furious right now.

They had gone through so many things recently, especially when Cameron had just been cured of the poison.

Yet, now, she was hemming and hawing, ticking Alexander off.

Anastasia suddenly fell silent as she stared at him quietly when tears began streaming down her face.She made no sound as her tears continued to fall.It was utterly unbearable for Alexander to watch.

"You..."

After a momentary hesitation, Alexander knew he could not vent his anger.He vaguely guessed something serious might have happened.

"Alex, my father...disappeared,"

Anastasia spat through her sobs.Her tears rolled down her face non-stop like a broken dam.

"What did you say?!" Alexander asked in shock, almost in disbelief.

"What do you mean disappeared? How can a full-grown adult just disappear?" He asked repeatedly.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1963-"I..."

Anastasia was apprehensive, and Alexander could see it.He immediately looked around the house.He did not think any surveillance cameras were installed—there was no need to, from his experience.

However, Anastasia's reaction was too abnormal.

Alexander frowned and shut the door before asking, "What's going on? We'll go somewhere else if you can’t say it here.You have to tell me what's happening."

After a pause, he continued, "You can't continue hiding it from me."

Anastasia pursed her lips as if trying to hold back a wail.

Then, she raised her hand and wiped away her tears before saying, "Alex, let's talk elsewhere."

"Okay.You probably haven't eaten anything.Neither have I'll take you out to eat, and we can chat over a meal."

Upon saying this, he looked around again and walked her out.

Anastasia said nothing along the way, seemingly preoccupied with her thoughts.

Alexander did not push the issue and gave her some space.

Still, the situation was getting increasingly complicated.

‘How could Cameron disappear out of the blue? Also, why didn't she tell me immediately if he went missing? Instead, she chose to hide it"

When Alexander turned to look at her, he noticed she was leaning against the car window, looking outside silently.

Alexander chose a nearby country club to eat.

The food there was more distinctive, but their priority was that the place was quiet and private enough to discuss things.

This palace was also under his company's name.He chose a private room and dismissed everyone after the food was served.

Instead of urging her to speak immediately, he motioned her to eat something first.

Anastasia, who could never resist food, had no appetite.She picked up her utensils and put them down,novelebook.com then hesitated before turning to look at him.

"Alex, I don't know where to start."

"From the beginning.Take your time," Alexander said softly, pouring some water for her.

After drinking half a glass of water, she seemed to have calmed down a little.

She took a deep breath, holding the glass with both hands as she said, "About two days ago, my father received a call and left in a hurry.Then, he never came back."

"What do you mean?" Alexander asked with a frown.

He thought it was outrageous.

However, many outrageous things had happened recently, so it was not like he could not accept it.

Still, Anastasia did not clarify what she meant when she mentioned her father never returning.

"What I'm trying to say is, after he left, it seems like he disappeared.I don't know where he went—no one has seen him."

"What about his bodyguards? Do they not know either?" Alexander asked strangely.

After all, with Cameron's identity, he always brought bodyguards wherever he went.

No one could catch him alone, so Alexander wondered how he could disappear inexplicably without anyone's knowledge.

"He didn't bring any bodyguards,"

Anastasia said firmly, "This is where things are a little weird.I don't know who Dad went to meet or where he was going, but he went there alone."

"That's bizarre!" Alexander exclaimed.

"Exactly! But Dad never came back after.He said nothing before leaving, so I have no idea who asked him out."

Anastasia tightened her grip on the cup as she stared ahead, looking nervous and frightened.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1964-"So, whoever met with your father is the prime suspect."

After pondering and analyzing, Alexander realized that although it sounded bizarre, it was not impossible.

Cameron was already the organization's target, and they poisoned him through Rhea to control him and achieve their goal.

For the organization, the first step was to seize the research facility as their stronghold in Hyderland before conducting those insane experiments.

Nobody knew what their next step was.

However, Alexander felt their desire to control Cameron was more than simply seizing the research facility.He knew there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

"Yes, I think so too, but I don't know who wanted to meet with Dad."

Anastasia frowned with confusion.

Alexander studied her appearance and did not feel like she was pretending.

Despite that, there was still one thing he was puzzled about.

"If that’s the case, why did you hide the news of your father’s disappearance, and why… did you hide it from me too? It was understandable if she hid it because she feared causing panic, which might lead to unforeseen consequences.

After all, being a young girl, she was at a loss, just like how she tried to handle it alone when Cameron was under Rhea’s control.

Still, Alexander wondered why she had to hide it from him and act like she was being watched.

"I'm sorry," she said softly, "I didn't mean to, but I received a call last night."

"What call?"

"I don't know.That person was probably using a voice changer and said Dad was in their hands.novelebook.comThe person warned that if I wanted Dad to be safe, I..."

She paused as she tried to keep her emotions in check.Her hands holding the cup were now pale.

"If I want to keep Dad safe, I have to keep this a secret and not tell anyone."

Anastasia looked at Alexander with trepidation as she continued, "Alex, will my dad my in danger now that I told you these things?"

"Danger?"

After some thought, Alexander said, "Then, did the other person make any other demands, like extortion?"

Usually, such situations were accompanied by extortion of money or similar demands.

The first step was intimidation, and the next step was extortion.

That was the reason behind Alexander's question.

To his surprise, Anastasia shook her head.

"No! They warned me not to tell anyone and said I couldn't call the police.They didn't make any other requests."

"No requests?"

Alexander frowned.

"They really didn't make any other requests?"

Anastasia nodded vigorously, looking very sure.

Alexander fell silent.

‘No requests were made, meaning the other party isn't doing this for money.

However, if they didn't kidnap Cameron for money, what could it be for?’ Besides, it was a considerable risk to abduct Cameron, knowing who he was.It was not an exaggeration to say the risk of abducting the wealthiest man on earth might not be as great as abducting Cameron.

Furthermore, it must not be a regular abducting case if this person could lure Cameron out with just a single call and convince him not to bring any bodyguards.

The first suspect Alexander considered was the organization.

"Then, how are you sure your father is in their hands? How do you know they're not scamming you?" He asked after thinking a while.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1965 -"Because..."

Anastasia dragged on hesitantly while looking at Alexander.Her hesitation showed she was baffled and afraid.

"I don't care what they told you, but think about it.You can’t hide it now that I already know about this.It doesn't make much difference whether or not you tell,"

Alexander said patiently, "Don't you trust me? Do you not trust Lily?"

He resorted to playing the emotional card.

Although Anastasia might not trust him completely, she still had absolute trust in Lily.

It was to the point that Alexander felt they would have easily solved this matter if Lily had been standing here instead.

Then Anastasia would express what was happening and ask for Lily’s advice.

Thinking about it, Lily had a certain charisma and charm that surpassed him, making people have an inexplicable sense of trust and reliance on her.

However, Lily was captive at this moment, which made Alexander’s heart sink unconsciously.

"Lily..."

Sure enough, Anastasia’s eyes flickered upon hearing Lily’s name.

Anastasia frowned.

Ultimately, she took out her phone without hesitation and scrolled through it before handing it to Alexander,novelebook.com showing a video clip.

The video contained a blindfolded person.It was Cameron.

Although blindfolded, those who knew him could quickly recognize him.

Cameron's hands were tied behind his back while he sat on a chair.He was not speaking in the video.

One could not even tell whether he was asleep or awake.

Still, he must have been asleep, judging from his drooping head.

It was a short video with very little to see.

Besides the fact that the person in it was Cameron, nothing else was apparent.

After watching the video twice, Alexander raised his head to look at Anastasia.

"So, it’s because of this video?"

"That’s Dad.Can't you recognize him?"

Anastasia questioned with widened eyes.

"I know.I can tell, but Cameron didn't say a thing.Are you sure this isn't someone pretending to be him?"

Alexander analyzed before continuing, "Also, besides releasing this video, they haven't mentioned anything else.

"How do you know if your father is truly with them? If he is, why aren't they allowing you to report it to the police or inform others? They're even aiding in concealing it.What's their purpose?"

Anastasia did not know what to say since she did not think that far.She only saw the video and her father in that situation, immediately sending her into a spiral.She had hardly slept last night and was in a daze.

After hearing what Alexander said, her mind became much clearer, like a sudden awakening.

"Are you saying the person in the video isn't my father? Then ..where did my father go? There’s no news about him until now, and he's not answering his phone,"

Anastasia asked, puzzled, "If this person isn’t Dad, what are they trying to do?"

Alexander did not answer.

That question was turning in his head as well.

After a moment of pondering, he asked, "Is there anything else aside from this?"

Anastasia slowly shook her head.

"Oh, right.These people also said my father would return home safely within three days if I didn't call the police.Otherwise..."

She looked nervous.

"Alex, will they find out now that I've told you about this? Will my father be in danger?"

Alexander finally understood why she was so anxious, trying to maintain a calm facade and hide things from him.It was because those people had threatened her.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1966 -Although Anastasia might have had ideas and enough courage, she was still young and lacked experience.She was in a mess after seeing the video.

On top of that, Cameron had been missing for a few days with no news.It was understandable that she dared not speak up.

Although it had been less than a day since the video, it was still hard for her.

"No."

Alexander shook his head and explained, "If they genuinely wanted to harm your father, they could just do it.Why would they bother sending you the video to threaten you? They simply want to buy some time or just need these few days."

While their words might not be trustworthy, and it was uncertain they would release Cameron after three days,novelebook.com at the very least, their demand for Anastasia not to call the police or tell anyone was true within the three days.

Since that was the case, they wanted to cover up Cameron's disappearance.

Although Alexander could not figure out the purpose behind this, what they did was very obvious.

"Then what should I do now?"

Although Anastasia was still worried about her father, she felt a little more at ease now.Her mind had gone wild since last night.

She feared telling anyone and could only hide her anxiousness.She had no one to talk to, no one to share with.She was a mess.It was a coincidence that Alexander showed up.

Although Anastasia hesitated initially, she felt much happier after letting it all out.

"You don't need to do anything," Alexander said as he drummed his fingers lightly on the table, thinking.

"I don't have to do anything?!"

"Think about it. What would you do if I didn’t come today and you didn't tell me this?"

That one sentence instantly shut her down as she genuinely did not know what she would have done.

Before Alexander came, she panicked as her mind spiraled about where her father might be.She also contemplated whether or not she should call the police.

"But if I don’t do anything, what if something..."

Anastasia dared not continue, as if it would come true if she did.She clenched her fists as her eyes burned.She had been trying not to cry because her father had suffered so much.It worried her a lot.

"Nothing you do now will be of much help.These people don't want you to call the police and don't want the cat out of the bag.They must be planning something within these three days."

‘Three days...First, the organization took Lily away, and her whereabouts are unknown.Now, it’s Cameron, almost at the same time.Is this just a coincidence? No, I believe it must have something to do with that organization.If so, what are they planning to do?’ Alexander thought.

‘Mike says the experiment is a success, and the key to the final step is Lily.They likely need to use her as a test subject.Could it be?’ The thought of this made Alexander's heart clench.

He could not bear to think about what could happen and understood how Anastasia felt.He took a deep breath to calm his emotions before saying in a deep voice, "Leave this to me!"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1967 -Alexander had Anastasia sent home, not before reassuring her not to overthink and to eat and rest when she was home.He also told her to contact him immediately if she received another message.

Although Anastasia agreed, her frown was still prominent.

Alexander did not say much, as his words would sound empty, no matter what he said.

In truth, they both knew his intention.

Still, it was difficult for the person involved to remain optimistic and worry-free when faced with the actual situation.

After all, talking was cheap, just like Alexander was concerned about his wife's safety.He tried comforting himself by trusting in her ability to protect herself so he did not have to worry.

Besides finding Lily, he was responsible for finding Cameron, too.

Things just kept getting increasingly confusing.

Lily could not feel the car shaking when she woke up.It seemed she had arrived.Her brain started working again after a short rest.

She considered what had happened before passing out.

‘l entered a car with Rick, got blindfolded, and then...I don’t know anything after that"

Lily had a whiff of a fragrance from the mist before passing out, making her unconscious.

Now, she had no idea where she was and whether she was still in Kingsland or even Hyderland.novelebook.comShe did not know how long she had been asleep or where she had gone.

Lily remained blindfolded, and all she saw was darkness.

The only good thing was that the mist barely harmed her and would not affect her unborn twins.

‘The babies.."

With that thought in mind, she moved around and realized her hands were free.

However, they felt numb, probably from being passed out for a long time.She pushed through the numbness with gritted teeth as she moved to remove the cloth covering her eyes.

When she removed the blindfold, the light made her squint in discomfort before gradually adjusting her eyes.She could only see where she was afterward.

The strange thing was, this place was not like how she imagined.It was not a basement or a secret room.It was not dim with a hard floor.

Instead, she was lying comfortably on a king-size bed.

This room was quite luxurious.

On top of that, no one was in the room except her.

It was beyond her imagination.She thought they would take her to some dark place or a prison cell, but her room was much better than she had imagined.

Still, she did not think she was safe just because of the environment she was in.

On the contrary, she was more on edge about who the other party was.

‘If we're still in Hyderland, their illicit activities must remain secret.Yet, they could arrange for me to be in a luxurious room so openly, which reflects the organization's frightening power"

After pondering for a while, Lily got up while supporting her abdomen.

Her body was getting heavier by the day.

All she could think about was resolving everything before giving birth.

Then everything could return to the way it was before.

Be it Galen or her two unborn twins—they deserved to grow up ina safe and warm environment instead of facing various viruses and mutations as soon as they were born.

‘Perhaps this world will eventually perish one day, but mankind's inventions shouldn't cause humans to suffer"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1968 -Lily could feel her babies turning like they were yawning and stretching.

There was a bulge on her stomach that eventually disappeared.It indicated everything was going well, making her feel relieved.

Amid her recent ordeal, she realized her children must also have suffered.She could find some peace of mind as long as they were safe.

After taking a moment to gather herself, she stood up and walked around the room.She noticed there was no one else in the room.However, it was evident there were surveillance cameras present.

As Lily approached the window, she drew the curtains and realized it was blocked, so she could not see the outside.

In other words, the window was just a decoration.

The room was quite spacious, resembling a suite.

When Lily exited the bedroom, she entered a living area with a sofa, coffee table, and a water dispenser, among other things.

Overall, it felt relatively luxurious.

‘Yeah, I’m in a hotel suite.Or more like a luxurious cage"

Even if she did not try to open the door, she knew she could not leave this place so easily.

‘Now that the organization has brought me here, they would not allow me to leave at will"

With that thought in mind, she approached the door, placed her hand on the doorknob, and paused momentarily before forcefully pulling it open.

The door swung open quickly but outside stood two men who looked like thugs.

When the door opened, they swiftly extended their hands to block her.

Lily halted and raised an eyebrow as she glanced outside.It was indeed a hotel corridor, but there seemed to be no one else except for herself and the two thugs. novelebook.comShe remained silent for a few seconds before smiling at them and closing the door again.She would not force her way out like this, nor was she foolish enough to believe the two thugs were the only people present.

After retreating into the room, she carefully inspected every corner.She found that although surveillance cameras were around, there were not many.

‘This, and the two thugs outside.The organization must be pretty confident they can keep her in here"

Of course, she knew where that confidence came from.

When the two thugs blocked her, she saw the guns holstered at their waists.

‘Perhaps I can disarm and defeat the two quickly, but how many more men are here besides those two? How many more guns or other weapons are present? I have no idea.Therefore, acting so rashly isn’t a wise choice"

Lily had always wanted to know who was behind the organization and who was pulling the strings.

Still, she could not find any information.

Finally, she had a rare opportunity to get in touch with them.

‘How can I miss this chance? Since I’m already here, I have to adapt to the situation.However—’ Lily touched her pockets and looked around the empty room.

She realized they had confiscated her phone.

‘Losing all means of communication is a rather tricky situation.Alex must be worried sick! I must find a way to contact the outside world immediately.I fear Mike has already told Alex the news now that the organization has taken me away.On top of that, I have no idea what happened to Dominic"

After pacing the room for a while, Lily turned and sat on the sofa.She started feeling a little hungry as her stomach growled, reminding her she had not eaten anything in a long time.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1969-Not knowing whether they saw through her thoughts or if it was time, the door suddenly swung open.

The two thugs stood aside while someone pushed a food cart in.

The three looked foreign.

Without saying a word, the person parked the cart next to the table, opened the lid, and took out the dishes individually.

The aroma was enticing as Lily looked on, only to discover the dishes were local.

Moreover, they were her favorite foods.

There were fajitas, pot roasts, tater tots, etcetera.

The table was full of various dishes, a feast, even for her eyes.

After laying out the food, the person glanced at Lily before pushing the cart out.

Lily sat down, looking at the table full of food.She knew they were trying to convey a message.

They knew her well, even up to what she liked eating.

Since they had gone to such lengths to bring her here, they would not simply poison her food and end everything so quickly.

However, there was no guarantee they would not tamper with the food.

After all, these people were experts in virology.

Although she was hungry, she did not rush to eat.

First, she leaned over to look, then sniffed the dishes.

Nothing seemed suspicious, at least from her knowledge of pharmacology.

Once she was satisfied with her observation, she began to eat.

No matter where she was, she would not neglect her well- being.She had to take care of herself and the children in her stomach to find a way out.She quietly enjoyed the meal, taking nearly half an hour to finish.

After setting her utensils down, she let out a satisfying burp.

The door opened again almost as soon as she put down her utensils.

The same person from before silently cleared the table.

Lily looked at him and asked, "When can I meet your boss?"

The person glanced at her, his eyes full of confusion.

Judging from his appearance, it seemed like he did not understand her.

Lily curled her lips and repeated the question in another language.

However, the other party just waved his hand and did not answer.He finished tidying up and left without making a sound, novelebook.comjust as he had entered.It made Lily suspect he was mute.

After he left, the door closed again, and nobody came to check on her or ask her anything.

Even Rick, who had brought her here, seemed to have vanished into thin air.It was unusually quiet here, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Lily turned on the television, but there was no signal.

They had the signal blocked as well.

At this point, Lily had no idea what these people were planning.

Everything was just too strange.

The following two days were even more bizarre.

Every day, at a fixed time, someone would deliver her meals.

They were a wide variety of her favorite dishes, but the taste was not as authentic.

From the flavors and cooking techniques, she knew local chefs did not prepare it.

They could only imitate the dishes’ appearance but not capture the essence.

Fortunately, she could eat her fill, and she was not picky.She made sure to eat enough every day.

However, no one else came except the two guards at the door and the person who delivered the food.

These three people would not respond to her no matter what she said or asked.It was as if they were deaf.

No matter how resilient she was, she gradually became agitated under such circumstances.She felt frustrated, mainly because this dragged on for too long.

After all, the less she knew about the changes in the situation outside, the less confident she felt.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1970-Before this, the organization had urged Lily to speed up the experiment's progress, emphasizing time was running out.

Now, they seemed less urgent.

Still, she did not know the situation on Alexander's side or what had happened at the research base.

‘What will Mike and Rhea do now that the organization has taken me away? Has Edward already left?’ Mike immediately returned to the research base after hearing about Alexander's situation.

Rick, who had taken Lily away, had caught Mike off-guard, quickly sending Mike into a spiral.

Mike only remembered the "boss" was still locked inside the secret room while returning to the research base.

Mike had planned to find an opportunity to move the boss out, but now it seemed no one cared about the boss.However, it was a good chance for Mike to gamble.He wanted to see if this vicious man, who the organization had already discarded, would still be as arrogant, fearful, or angry.

Mike also wanted to see if there was a chance he could discover Nick's whereabouts.

When Mike arrived, he saw that the secret room door was already open.

Someone had brought the "boss" out of the room and placed him on the chair with his head tilted to one side, looking unconscious.

Meanwhile, Rhea was sitting on the other side.She looked at ease with her legs crossed and smiled as she looked at Mike meaningfully, novelebook.com who had just rushed in.

"You still said it wasn't you."

"Rhea?!" Mike was stunned.

At this point, he no longer needed to deny it.He sneered and said, "What's the matter? Are you going to save him?"

"Save him?"

Mike glanced at the person on the chair.He was petite, barely filling the seat.

Yet, that person had manipulated them for so long, making them tremble with fear and unable to speak up.

At that moment, the small man sat there, seemingly small enough to be kicked like a ball.He was nothing without the organization’s support and influence.

Rhea smiled.

"Mike Corden, whether you or I save him wholly depends on you."

"What do you mean?" Mike frowned, his eyes full of caution.

He knew what kind of woman Rhea was.

She was cunning, treacherous, ruthless, and cold-hearted.Her thoughts were convoluted, and he could easily fall into her trap if he were not careful.

"Don't be scared."

Rhea smiled as she turned her chair around, tilting her head to look at the man on the chair.

With a playful smile, she said, "Mike, haven't you understood by now? Whether it's him, you, or me, we're all castaways of the organization.The organization only wants Lily, no one else."

"So what?" He asked warily.

"So, let's cooperate!" She turned to look at Mike.She did not look like she was joking at all.

"Cooperate? What kind of cooperation are you talking about? " Mike sneered.

"Why should I trust you? Why should you trust me? Even if we cooperate, what do we have to fight the organization? Do you think we can go against them by joining forces?"

"Why not?" Rhea stood up.

"People always have to take risks for themselves! I’ve put my heart and soul into this experiment for so long, and the results belong to me.No one can take that away!" Her eyes blazed with resentment as she gripped the chair's armrests until her knuckles turned white.
