Chapter 2040
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2040 -Edward soon returned to the car. Alexander sat and leaned into a chair instead of sitting straight as usual.
âCollaborate with you? How?â Alexander asked calmly.
âI have resources and expertise while you have money and workforce. Together, we can potentially outperform the organization.â Rhea stood up, her eyes full of hope.
Alexander chuckled. âDid you tell that to Mike too?â
âOf course!â Rhea did not try to hide it and smiled disdainfully. âStill, heâs useless. You, on the other hand, are different. Youâre wealthier, more powerful, and also smarter than him!â
Her compliment failed to please Alexander as he asked, âWhereâs Cameron?â
âSomewhere safer, of course. The house isnât some heavily fortified prisonâanyone can easily break in. Keeping him here was just a temporary measure. Besides, I told that idiot, Mike, about this place.
âItâs only a matter of time before you show up uninvited.â Rhea was smug, as if everything happened as she had expected.
âYouâre smart, all right,â Alexander complimented.
Rhea grew prouder. âOf course I am. So? Do you want to collaborate with me? We have a thing against the organization. Besides, I can help you rescue Lily. Isnât my offer tempting enough?â
âYou think you can?â Alexander was incredulous.
Rhea nodded but knew he did not believe her. âI can pretend to make a deal with the organization. If I can offer a better alternative, they wonât have to sacrifice Lily. All I need now is someone to lead me to them, and I know you can!â
âYou have that much faith in me, huh?â Alexander chuckled. âDo you think Iâll work with you?â
âWhy not? I have Cameron Rollins, and you need to save Lily. Itâs a win-win situation if we work together. Also, it benefits you more than me, so you have no reason to turn me down.â Rhea was confident he would say yes.
However, Alexander shook his head slightly. âYouâre wrong. Iâll never collaborate with you because our beliefs and principles fundamentally differ.â
âDonât you want to save Lily? Donât you care about Cameronâs life?â Rhea took two steps forward and watched as Alexander turned away.
âHow can he walk away from my deal? He must be bluffing!â
âIâll rescue my wife myself. As for Cameron, do you think heâs someone you can overcome so easily?
Given his position, how long can you keep him hostage?â Alexander could not help but speak mockingly.
âWhat the hell do you mean?â Rhea knitted her brow, then unfurled it. She did not believe him. âYouâre just bluffing.â
Alexander chuckled and ignored her.
Rhea noticed that and became even more convinced that she was right. âWell, the fact is I have Cameron. Of course, you could call the police and arrest me, but Iâll kill him first!â
âHeâs your uncle, for Godâs sake!â Alexander said despite himself.
âSo what? Weâre not blood-related. Even if he is, I donât give a sh*t! Look, if he hadnât asked my parents to care for Anastasia when she was younger, and if it werenât for his position, my parents wouldnâtâ¦â
Rhea caught herself and took a deep breath before changing the subject, âAnyway, Iâll make sure Cameron dies before I do. Besides, the organization possesses lethal viruses, and so do I!â
She cocked her head and revealed a meaningful smile. âYou should already know, shouldnât you?
Didnât Mike ask for your help? If he didnât, then heâs truly an idiot!â
