Chapter 2144

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2144-“Hey, aren’t you guys even a bit anxious?” Mike could not believe how calm Alexander and Austin were.

‘If it were up to me, I would’ve gone to see Rhea immediately! We can consider handing her to the organization to make a deal if she isn’t lying. At least we’re trying a new approach, right?’

Mike had thought about it repeatedly for the past two days but could not devise a better solution.

Alexander said he had an idea and brought Austin along, yet the duo seemed to be taking their time, which frustrated Mike.

“Some things require patience. Sometimes we just have to wait.” Alexander approached and patted Mike’s shoulder. “Just chill out, all right?”

Mike was speechless.

‘I don’t want to chill out, damn it!’

Meanwhile, Austin was in a deep sleep. However, he woke up half an hour later and glanced at the wall clock. “It’s about time.”

Mike was crouching aside with his cheeks in his hands when he looked up in confusion. “Huh?”

“It’s time. Come on.” Austin got up and straightened his slightly wrinkled shirt. He looked refreshed, even more than when he had just arrived.

Mike was surprised when he saw the duo heading toward where they held Rhea. Immediately after, he chased after them.

Since it was not the right time to hand Rhea over to the police, Alexander locked her in an outhouse in the backyard of his house. He used the outhouse primarily for storage and had left it unoccupied for years.

The outhouse had a somewhat unique layout. When Alexander decided to confine Rhea there, he hired someone to make minor changes first. Alexander did that to ensure she would not stay in harsh conditions or escape.

When the trio reached the outhouse, Alexander scanned his fingerprint, swiped his access card to unlock the door, and then moved aside for Austin to enter.

Rhea looked up when she heard the noise, thinking it must be Alexander. She was confident he would work with her after their talk, so he must be here to discuss the terms. However, she was in disbelief when she saw the visitor.

“I-It’s you?”

“Why? Are you disappointed to see me?” Austin wanted to smile, but he just could not in her presence.

After all, she had imprisoned and tortured him, nearly killing him. Even those around Austin suffered because of what she did.

Austin wanted to rip her to shreds, but he gritted his teeth and calmed himself, thinking, ‘I must consider the bigger picture.’

Rhea turned back to face the window, her gaze distant as she said mockingly, “What the fuck are you doing here? To show off that you’re still alive despite the disease?”
