His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2301

Fred stopped and looked at Rhea solemnly. He told her to follow him and turned to leave.

Rhea hurried after him and glazed over her shoulder at the others, feeling uneasy.

Instead of leaving the floor, Fred led her into an office and pointed his chin at the door. “Close it.”

Rhea quickly did so and turned to see him also sitting down. Fred lit a cigarette and took a puff before looking at her with narrowed

eyes, asking, “You wanted to tellabout the invisibility potion?”

Rhea nodded. “Yes, Your Grace. Mike said | should be able to get my hands on the formula in two days. It's not that | don’t want to

stay in the lab, but I'm afraid of missing out on important updates.”

“Your phone is with me,” Fred tapped the desk and said indifferently, “If there are any updates, I'll tell you right away.”

“But...” Rhea noticed his warning expression and said carefully, “Only | can control Mike. If anyone else were to answer his calls, it

might affect the effectiveness of the hypnosis.

“If he wakes up from the hypnotic state, we won't obtain the invisibility potion’s formula.”

“Is that an excuse to threaten me, Rhea?” Fred snorted. He had anticipated it from the beginning. He believed Rhea’s claim about

the hypnotic drug not being perfect was just an excuse to exert leverage over him.

“No, I'm not. Even though I'm the only person who can control him, I still obey your instructions,” Rhea quickly explained, “What

I've done is all for your interest and the project.”

“So if | don’t let you leave the lab, you won't be able to helpobtain the formula, huh?”

Rhea looked troubled as she nodded. “You can say so.”

“Then | don’t want it,” Fred said as he decisively stood up. “Return to the lab immediately and stay there like the rest. We'll discuss

everything else after the experiment.”

Rhea was shocked that not even the invisibility potion could change his mind.

“Your Grace...” Rhea gazed after him and called out despite herself. She took a step closer, saying, “Is R10 really so important?

Even more so than other research?”

She could not understand why Fred was so anxious for the experiment to work. Even if it did, the one who would benefit was the

queen. If he genuinely cared about the queen, he would not have detained her.

“Yes, it is!” Fred left without looking back.

Speechless, Rhea knew she would never find out why from him. Soon, someone brought her to the laboratory. The others thought

the duke gave her special treatment by letting her leave with him.

However, they gloated when she returned. Rhea knew they must be laughing at her, but she ignored them.
