His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1926

Lily laughed mockingly. "So, you're saying we don't need evidence at all? As long as you want to do it, you can, right? The boss has

only disappeared briefly, and you're already here, showcasing your power. Are you saying everything will be your call if the boss is

gone? If that's the case, you're the prsuspect!"

Lily downplayed herself and shifted the blback unto Rhea in just a few sentences.

"I..." Shocked momentarily, Rhea immediately retorted, "I didn't say that!"

She swallowed her words angrily, feeling Rick's calm eyes on her. The back of her spine felt a little chilly.

She had met Rick several times, but not enough. However, she knew he often appeared by the boss's side. He was a man of very

few words and always seemed indifferent. His actions were always cruel and vicious.

Rhea accidentally ran into him once while he was punishing someone. Even though she had grown accustomed to various

experiments and bloodshed, she still felt sick at that scene. Later, an inexplicable fear of Rick formed in her, the kind she could not

control as it hit her heart's core.

"Have you searched everywhere?" Rick asked Mike again.

Mike nodded affirmatively. "I've searched everywhere, even under the carpets. We've searched all the secret rooms we know of

here."

Hearing this, Rick fell silent.

Lily, who had been trying to stay out of this matter, spoke up. "lI have a question."

Everyone looked at her. Rhea was about to cup with a sarcastic answer before quickly swallowing her words. Rick nodded

slightly, motioning for Lily to speak.

"As you all have said, I'm not loyal to the boss, and I'm not affected by his disappearance. Whether he disappears or not has

nothing to do with me." She shrugged indifferently before continuing, "What | care more about is, are we continuing this

experiment as usual?

“My experiment is almost complete, and | know the boss valued this project a lot. | know the higher-ups probably think very highly

of it as well. However, now that something like this has happened, do we focus on—" She paused momentarily as her eyes darted

from Rick to Mike and finally to Rhea. "Looking for the boss or continuing the experiment?"

"Of course, we—" Just as Mike was about to say, ‘Look for the boss,” he caught himself and looked at Rick.

Lily saw the power dynamic here. On the surface, the twere equal. However, both seemed more afraid of Rick and would always

turn to him.

Meanwhile, Lily remained objective and indifferent, without a hint of anxiety. It was usual for her. Everyone here knew she came

here unwillingly and got forced to work. Now that the boss had gone missing, it would be suspicious if she suddenly became

worried or anxious.

Rick pondered momentarily before slowly saying, "We'll have to look for the boss and continue the experiment simultaneously.

We'll handle the search while you..."

He paused before continuing, "You and Miss Moore continue the experiment. You two must complete the experiment according to

plan! Mr. Corden and | will look for the boss."

Lily raised her eyebrows. "Do your words count?"

Rick probably did not realize the underlying meaning of Lily's question and replied in a daze, "My words always count, and | will

always do what | say."

"No, I'm saying, since the boss isn’t here now, are you the second in command?" Lily smiled while looking at Rick meaningfully.
