His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2295

Lily was surprised Fred would try to protect Rhea. After all, he had abandoned her and the research center before, and Rhea had to

go to great lengths to find him.

Still, he did not seem willing to grant Lily's request now.

“Do you think I'd just give her away?” Fred smiled. “You're wrong. She's skillful and loyal. Why would | want to get rid of her? As for

whether you want to cooperate, it’s not your decision to make. Don’t be naive.”

He turned and glanced at Dominic. “Lock him up!”

Lily was puzzled. “If you don’t let Dominic go, you'd be asking for trouble,” she said, trying to warn him of the consequences.

However, Fred turned halfway to her and chuckled. “Oh, yeah? But I'm not afraid of trouble. Lily, do you think I've forgotten how

you playedlast time?

“I'll settle the old score with you after the experiment.” After a pause, he thought of something and said, “Oh, yes, you don’t have

much tleft.”

He walked out of the room and saw Rhea looking at him from a distance. He frowned as he went over. “You shouldn't have come

here.”

He blamed her for provoking Lily.

“I'm sorry! | couldn't help it,” Rhea murmured.

“You'll be real sorry if you fail in your tasks.” Fred glared at her. “Don’t think for a moment that | was trying to protect you. You

should know why | did it.”

“1 do, and | thank you for givingthe chance to prove myself,” she said respectfully, lowering her head.

Fred was pleased. After all, he needed someone obedient and capable like her. He then grunted and strode away.

Rhea slowly raised her head and glanced toward Lily's room, smirking.

For whatever reason, the duke did not use her as a bargaining chip. It showed Rhea was helpful to him, and she could secure her

place at the embassy if she could develop the invisibility potion.

Of course, she still needed to work for it.

After lunch, Alexander attended to sbusiness while Austin returned to the X Department.

Dominic asked Austin to cbecause the department had been busy and needed to sort and process the stuff obtained from the

research center. After all, Austin was the most suitable candidate for the job.

Therefore, only Ross and Mike remained in Alexander's house. The prince seemed relaxed as he enjoyed his coffee in the living

room.
