His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 1740

"You're right!" Alexander nodded and immediately called his henchman. It turned out that other cars were coming in and out.

Although it was already late at night, the vaccine development base hustled continuously to catch up with the progress. Even then,

people were still going in and out of the area.

"Call your man back!" Lily said, "It's pointless to stay there now. Edward might not even be there. If you can't enter the base,

there's no use."

Alexander did not answer as his brows furrowed. She had no idea what he was thinking.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked, seeing that he did not reply.

"Actually, we might be able to get in." He raised his eyebrows.

"Huh?" Then she quickly understood. "You mean...through Secretary Rollins? But he's still in a coma, and outsiders can't know

about it."

After a pause, she thought of something and continued, "Tasia can still hold them back for now, but...if the Moores go over, Tasia

will be overpowered."

"You're right. That's why we'll have to be one step faster than them." As he said this, he was already starting to call for

deployment.

Lily stood up from his lap and walked to the side so as not to disrupt him. At this time, she felt a vibration in her pocket. She had

silenced her phone when she went to sleep. When she took it out, she saw a message from Olivia. "Did you find him?"

Lily stared at her phone silently. She knew Olivia was afraid of disturbing her, and that was why she dropped a text instead of

calling. Lily could not help but feel apologetic.

‘We found Edward but lost him again. What should | tell Olivia?’

Looking up, she saw that Alexander was still occupied. With that, she lowered her head and walked out of the study before

whispering into her phone, "We found him, but we've lost him again. Don't worry. | think he's fine."

After receiving Lily's voice message and knowing that she was not asleep, Olivia immediately called. "Where did Edward go?"

"He drove to a highly-classified area, and Alex's men couldn't follow him in. They could only guard the gates. Although they did not

see Edward's car coming out, we had no idea if he had changed into another car. We don't know if he's still inside or not."

After thinking for a while, Lily continued, "However, judging from Edward's state, he is deliberately hiding this from you. Whether

he is helping someone or being coerced, there seems to be no danger for now. He is still... valuable."

"Are you saying that he might be used?!" Olivia was surprised. "By whom? Also, what place did Edward go to that Alex can't get

in?"

"Don't worry," Lily reassured her. "Alex is sending someone to investigate further. You should wait at home. If Edward returns,

pretend nothing happened. Don't ask any questions. We'll see what he wants to do."

"I..." Olivia sounded a little tense. She did not know why things turned out like this. "Edward... Why would he do this?"

"Whatever the case is, we'll always give him the benefit of the doubt. Whether he’s being used or coerced, we will believe that he

did not intend this to happen. You believe him, too, right?"

"Of course, | believe him, but..." It was also her unwavering belief in his words that pushed her into this position.

Now, after discovering that he had been lying to her this whole time, her trust was running low.
