His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1573

He seemed rather upset.

“| could only describe what | observed. You know this is not my profession. | can’t possibly write a detailed report.” Mike appeared

innocent as he opened his arms. “This kind of job is more suitable for Rhea.”

“So you're complaining that | asked you to do this instead of Rhea?” Looking up, the man asked unhappily. His voice, rough and

unpleasant, was unsettling.

Mike shook his head. “No, that’s not what | meant. I'm just saying that this is not my profession, and | know little about it. So |

might make mistakes or not perform a detailed and objective observation. I... worry that I'd delay the progress of the experiment,”

he replied in a seemingly objective manner.

“Hmm...” The impatient man thought about it seriously. “Rhea is doing another more important experiment and cannot afford to

make any mistakes. Also, we are short on staffing. Otherwise, | wouldn't ask you to do it.”

Mike remained quiet.

“l know you're against it, and you still have ssoftness and kindness. What's wrong? You couldn't bear to see him suffer?” As if

to make his presence felt, he climbed up the stool and then the desk. Being a little taller than Mike now, he stared down at him.

“A... little bit, | guess.” Mike said it blandly, knowing the man would not believe him if he denied it.

The man let out a strange laugh, as if mocking him. “A little? You guys are hypocrites! You're willing to helpand obey my orders

only for the sake of your son! Human beings are selfish by nature, so why pretend to be kind? Besides, the world will undergo an

upheaval when we pull off the experiment!”

“So, can | see my son?” Mike did not refute the man’s words and eagerly wanted to see how his son was doing.

When his son first went missing, he tried his best to get his men to search for him worldwide. However, he had failed miserably, as

if his son had simply vanished. Then this horrible man cto see him.

He had tried to rebel and break free from his control, but it only led to his son suffering harm.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not find his son. Only through this man could he see how his son was doing through video,

and when the man was in a good mood, he was allowed to talk to his son.

So he compromised and yielded. All he could do was work with them, even though he knew their actions were immoral.

‘The man is right that human beings are selfish by nature. For my son, | can give up everything, even my life. Why should | care

what other people think?’

“Your performance is not that good lately.” The man made it clear that he was unhappy with Mike and hinted that he would not be

allowed to see his son.

“If I hadn't warned you guys to get ready beforehand, the research institute would have long been sealed off by the police. Also, if |

hadn’t thought of removing his trace, the police dogs would have tracked Austin down. Your safety-"

Before he could finish, the man interrupted. “Are you doubtingnow?”

“No!” Suppressing his emotions, Mike lowered his head. “I only want to see my son and ensure he’s still okay.”

“It's easy to see your son. Do a good job forand obey my orders!” The man said, “You did well on relocating the laboratory, but

| don’t wish to stay in this dark place any longer. Finda better location so that | can move out!”

He hated the smell of the disinfectant the most, and as their current location was underground, he felt like a rat in the sewer. He

wanted to be on the topmost floor so he could see the sun every day and gaze down upon everyone else.

“It's... difficult!” Mike said, knowing it’s not an easy task.
