Lahat ng Kabanata ng Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Kabanata 1751 - Kabanata 1760

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 trio said 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 came to 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 be

Lily pondered the question before this and could not make sense of it, especially after retrieving the data from the encrypted database.The institute was researching many types of poisons simultaneously, and they experimented with their products on many people, as shown by the data. This proved that the organization had its share of capable researchers.There were many people out there who were well-versed in the field of pharmacology, such as Rhea. Hence, Lily did not understand why they were so persistent in recruiting her into the team. The only possible reason she came up with was related to the concept Professor Thompson had at the initial stage of the experiment.They wanted to blend the medicinal properties thoroughly with the fragrances, making its users unknowingly take medicine into their bodies. Professor Thompson’s vision was to use this new creation to save lives, but the wicked organization went against his original intention. Instead of doing good to society, they

Alexander’s frown deepened as he watched Mike. He held Lily’s hand tightly and said, “Let’s go!”He did not want to listen anymore. He feared he might get convinced if he stayed a second longer. He knew the situation's pros and cons and that they had no choice. He understood that they could settle this matter quickly if Lily pretended to cooperate with them.Then they could investigate the organization's roots and crush them completely. However, Alexander could not allow Lily to risk her life.He would be willing to try it if it were him or someone else tasked to be a spy. But he would not allow Lily to get involved.She was the most important and loved woman to him. He would not risk her life, even if there were only a one in a billion chance she would get hurt. If something happened to her, he would not be able to take it.Still, he did not manage to get Lily up to her feet. She was still sitting on the couch, looking in Mike’s direction. Calmly, she asked, “What do you need me

That made Mike speechless. A promise was something abstract and vague. Even if Mike were to guarantee it with his life, it would be unable to reverse any damage if Alexander took Mike’s life should anything happen to Lily.A moment of hesitation later, Lily, in Alexander’s arms, said, “Then, what if I’m the one to promise you that?”Alexander and Mike were stunned.Alexander lowered his head and looked at Lily. She raised her head slightly to meet his gaze, a faint smile on her face. “I promise I’ll take good care of myself. I’ll stop if I immediately sense any danger or if something feels off. I’ll prioritize my and our baby’s safety at all times. What about that?”Lily even raised her hand to swear on her words. She appeared to be serious about it.Alexander did not know what to say for a moment. If it were anyone else, he would have many things to retort to them. However, it was Lily who would always make him feel helpless. She knew this clearly and took advantage of it as well

Alexander had to admit that Lily mastered the skills of persuasion better than he did. No matter how worried or anxious he was, he gave in after listening to her well-reasoned explanation and analysis of the situation.He did, however, want her to stay in touch with him at all times, and she had to give up immediately if she sensed any danger, as her safety had to be her top priority.As for Mike, he promised to keep her safe to the best of his abilities. The three had reached an agreement before going their separate ways. Alexander and Lily had their respective concerns, so they said nothing to each other on the way home, their brows locked the entire journey. When they arrived home, Lily was stunned when she noticed Olivia standing at the door. Olivia did not inform Lily that she was coming, nor did she wait inside the house. Instead, she just stood outside and waited for Lily to return. The car was nearby, so Olivia probably noticed they had returned and strode in their direct
