Chapter 2230
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âMike, itâs me,â Rhea said hushedly.
Fred became wide-eyed when he heard the name. He stared at her, surprised she would call him out of everyone.
âHuh?â Mike seemed puzzled.
Rhea was so anxious she started sweating. She did not know if Mike was still under her control since she could not see him in person. Nonetheless, she continued, âItâs me, Rhea.â
âOh, are you there? Did you find my son?â Mike hastily asked.
âNot yet. Weâll discuss that later.â Embarrassed, she glanced at Fred and noticed he looked even grimmer now. She felt a chill run down her spine, saying, âHowâs the situation?â
âThey havenât taken any action. Oh, yes, Dr. Blanc came last night and said they found traces of an invisibility potion on your hair,â Mike truthfully answered as if reporting to his superior.
Rhea nodded initially, but her jar dropped when she heard the last part. âWhat?!â
âThatâs it.â Mike sounded like he had just accomplished a mission.
âWhat invisibility potion? Whatâs that?â Rhea was baffled.
âDidnât you ask me to tell them you escaped using an invisibility potion? They didnât believe it at first, but people came and took many things from the house Alex held you in. They studied these things, and their analysis revealed an invisibility potion.â
Mike was somewhat confused as he asked, âDid you develop the potion?â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Of course not!â Rhea replied, stealing a sidelong glance at Fred.
She wanted to show Fred how obedient Mike was to her and that she could obtain any information from him. However, she never expected to hear about an invisibility potion.
Rhea thought, âHow can they take an invisibility potion seriously and say it exists? Are they out of their fucking mind?!â
âAccording to them, your hair disappeared during their experiment. It would only reveal itsâ¦molecular structure under a microscope,â Mike said, âRhea, you developed it, right?â
âI didnât! I was just bluffing, okay? She blurted out and caught herself before looking at Fred.
His glare made her hair stand on end.
âMike, keep a close eye on them, okay? Report to me immediately if Alexander is up to anything.â
This time, Mike answered obediently, âOkay.â
