Chapter 1999
Soon, Alexander reached the gate of the Rollins’ residence. He gazed at the closed gate and fell into deep thought while sitting in
the car and tapping on its door. He looked like he was waiting for something.
A while later, his phone beeped twice. He took it out, saw a message, and thoughtfully scrolled through it.
Although Mike promised to work with Rhea, he did not let his guard down. He knew how cunning she was, and she would not let
down her guard as well-after all, they were just using each other.

However, he was curious about the trump card Rhea had mentioned. He did not believe the “boss” was it.
Therefore, for the past two days, besides keeping up with the updates he received and holding the fort at the research facility, he
had been stalking Rhea. He needed to know what she was doing.
Still, he discovered nothing. More accurately, he saw how cruel Rhea was. Besides the laboratory, she had gone to the secret room
to torture the boss for the past two days.
Although Mike did not go in and see what was happening, he had goosebumps just hearing the horrible screams inside. Of course,
he had no sympathy for the boss and had given him a harsh beating.
Still, Mike did not torture the man because he thought that would be too heinous.
Rhea differed, on the other hand. Mike witnessed how she experimented on living human beings, which she treated as animals.
She would use any living person for her good.
What was intriguing was that she had secretly gone to her parent's house twice but did not stay much longer each time, leaving
after an hour. The research facility was far from the house, so Rhea would waste ttraveling between the two places.
However, she was willing to do so. Mike wondered if that meant she cared about her parents. From what he knew, she was not that
kind of person.

Mike felt something was up, but since he could not simply enter her house, he considered telling Alexander about it. Despite that,
Alexander had his hands full, and Mike felt embarrassed to talk to him since he had failed to protect Lily.
Mike went after Rhea again when he saw her quietly going downstairs to her car. Since people thought she had died, she could not
reveal her identity lest she exposed her secret. Therefore, she tried disguising herself with a face mask, sunglasses, and a veiled
hat to go outside.
Mike noticed her starting her car and driving away, so he steadily started his and drove after her, keeping a safe distance so that
she would not notice him. He even drove one of his rarely used cars to ensure she would not discover him.
However, Rhea did not return to her parent's hthis tand went around the city instead.
