Lily turned and left without bothering to even look at Rhea.
“Lily!” Rhea called out her nthrough clenched teeth.
Lily's reply drifted over, “Remember to cto work on time, my dear assistant!”
Rhea’s face distorted in anger. She had never been humiliated like this before. However, she had to follow her boss’s orders and
could only put up with Lily for now. After turning around, she saw Mike looking at her as if he was watching a show and grew
angrier.
“Mike, do you think you've found someone to help you?” she snorted.
Mike shrugged to indicate he did not think so.
Rhea curled her lips into a smile and suddenly let out a sly look before lowering her voice, “Do you know why you can never find
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtout what the core of the experiment is all about?”
“] don’t f*cking care,” Mike said blandly, “I only care about my son.”
“Ha...” Not caring about his answer, Rhea continued, “That's because you have no idea what's the real secret of R10! However, |
do.”
“] don’t f*cking care!” he simply repeated. “All | care about is my son!”
“Lily has no idea about the secret of R10. If she knew, she wouldn't take the job, but | would!” she said secretively, seemingly
trying to rouse Mike's curiosity.
Mike looked at her indifferently as if he had not heard what she said.
“Are you done?” Mike said, “Goodbye!”
Rhea was nonplussed.
“You two are going to f*cking regret it! Sooner or later, you will know what's the new rule of the world!” As she hissed, Rhea pulled
her cheek and winced in pain.
Lily could only relax after returning to her room. She was always on guard in this awful place, and everything she said had a
purpose. Lily knew it was dangerous here, but she had no choice. Although Lily acted nonchalantly, she knew she could not stop
caring.
All she could hope for was that everything would go smoothly with Alexander.
The little man's voice echoed in her mind as she lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. She pondered the meaning behind his words
and wondered what he meant when he said she would not be so confident if she knew what was happening outside the
organization.
‘Is something bad happening outside? No, no! We've already contained the pandemic, Cameron has regained consciousness, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAustin’s condition has improved. Nothing bad will happen, and he’s just bluffing. Don’t let him affect you, Lily!"
She tried to convince herself, but her heart kept pounding as a terrible feeling bugged her.
She flipped in bed but could not fall asleep. The twins inside her tummy were restless and would kick her occasionally these past
two days. Since she was due to give birth in two months, she felt her body getting heavier.
By now, Lily already knew the core of the experiment was toxins. Their main goal was to let people enjoy a pleasant scent and
unknowingly inhale the toxin while ensuring its full potency.
‘I have no idea who the organization plans to use it on, but | know it must be someone important.” Just as Lily's thoughts ran wild, a
knock on the door sounded.
The sound was light and stopped after two knocks, but she was sure she had not misheard it.
“Who is it?” She asked warily and looked toward the door, but there was no response.
