His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1751

Initially, Mike thought he could end all of this and save Nick if he obeyed all the instructions. However, his hope lessened as days

passed.

The tsaid nothing momentarily, resulting in stiff silence in the room. The atmosphere was so tense that it was almost

depressing.

Lily picked up the cup before her and sipped her tea. After a while, she broke the silence, “What's the point of you telling us all that

today? Do you want us to look for Nicky?”

The couple would think of a way to save Nick even if Mike did not bring the matter up. After all, the kid was innocent. They could

not stand by and do nothing when they knew Nick was in danger.

‘Is that what Mike meant, though? Is that why he cto look for us today? He had never sought our help. Is he at his last straw

and needs our help?’

“That's just part of it.” That was an unexpected answer. “It's about something more important. It's about... this organization.”

Lily was rendered speechless. She turned to meet Alexander's gaze before looking back at Mike. “I'm listening.”

Even if Mike appeared sincere and the couple understood his difficulties, they could not trust him entirely due to recent events. No

matter what he said, they would still be doubtful of him.

“More powerful people from another country control the organization, and I've yet to discover where they're from. However, |

believe they have a strong background, and we can’t afford to mess with them.” Mike suddenly stopped talking and looked at

Alexander.

Mike used the term “us” to tell Alexander that even he could not do anything to the external forces. They were not easy people to

deal with.

“What about that?” Alexander raised his brow while his expression remained calm.

He had a feeling the organization was controlled by a party that was much more powerful and influential, even without Mike's

words. Otherwise, the party would not have the audacity to challenge them so many times within the borders of this country.

As for Professor Thompson, Mike, Rhea, and even those who controlled them directly might be insignificant people in the

organization. The core members might not even be in the country at this time.

“When they first talked to me, they wantedto take over the research center for two reasons. Firstly, they needed investments.

Secondly, they wantedto take advantage of my relationship with you to seize control over the research center and complete

the research successfully.”

Mike sighed. “However, things don’t always go according to plan, do they? We didn’t expect Lily to discover the research institute's

secrets so quickly. You insisted that the research stop and soon left the team. We genuinely couldn't predict what you'd do.”

The “compliment” did not make Lily happy as she said, “What does that organization of yours plan to do tothen?”

“To be honest, they had planned to take your life at one point,” Mike said honestly without hiding anything.

“You...” Alexander, calm the entire time, becemotional upon hearing this. He wanted to stand, but Lily pressed her palm on

his thigh to stop his movement.

She just chuckled nonchalantly before continuing, “Gale and | got into a car accident and had assassins chased after us before this.

Was that the organization's attempt to kill me?”

Unexpectedly, Mike shook his head. “No, that was not the organization's doing. It was just Rhea.”

“Rhea?” Lily was astonished to hear that.

‘I thought it would be the organization, but Rhea arranged that instead?’
