Chapter 2287

Rhea noticed Fred’s eagerness and asked, “What if it fails?” Based on past data, she had little confidence his experiment would work.

However, she dared not say it aloud because Fred did not want to hear such a thing. Still, she selfishly wished the experiment would fail.

Fred would be happy if it worked, but it would do Rhea no good. If it failed, he had to start over again with her help.

“Work hard, okay? I’ll ensure to reward you well.” Patting Rhea’s shoulder, he said, “Keep a close watch on Prince Ross and Mike Corden.”

After a pause, he thought of something and asked, “Has Mike tried to look for his son again?”

“Yes, he even found out that his son is in the Royal Palace of Yudonia, but there’s nothing he can do about it,” Rhea answered truthfully.

“He wouldn’t dare!” Fred snorted and said, “Since he’s under your control now, tell him his son is dead, so he’ll give up.”

Rhea was stunned.

“Why? Is there a problem?” Fred narrowed his eyes and asked in a threatening tone.

Rhea quickly shook her head and murmured, “No, Your Grace. I worry he might do something drastic if we tell him that.” “So what? I’m not afraid of him,” Fred said indifferently, “He’s of no use to me now.

Spades King wanted to make use of his money and properties, but Mike’s more of a threat now. It’s best if he ends up killing himself.”

“I understand, Your Grace.” Rhea wondered why Fred suddenly wanted her to tell Mike that his son had died.

‘Is it only just to make Mike give up?’ She knew Mike would be greatly agitated, and there was no telling whether he would still obey her. Therefore, she decided not to tell Mike for now.

It was almost midnight when Rhea called Mike. She could only wait until late at night to do so because she did not want to attract Alexander and Austin’s attention.

Mike’s phone rang for a long while before he groggily answered it.

“Mike Corden…” Rhea called out his name in a deep, hypnotic voice.

Mike mumbled, “Yes.”

Rhea paused momentarily and then said, “Do you know who I am?”

“My master,” Mike answered.

Rhea smiled, happy that her drug was still working well. She asked, “Has anything interesting happened over the past two days?”
