Chapter 2288
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âNothing much,â Mike paused before adding, âHowâs my son?â
Rhea fell silent.
âHe still thinks about his son even in such a deep hypnotic state. If I told him his son was dead, wouldnât he snap out of it from being agitated?â âIâm still working on saving him. Still, I canât leave the embassy, as you know.
Thereâs nothing I can do for now,â Rhea devised an excuse, asking, âAny news on the invisibility potion?â âI donât get what you mean,â Mike answered.
âDidnât you say they found traces of the invisibility potion? Arenât they continuing to study it? Howâd it go?â Rhea was still hung up on it.
Thinking that Mike would not lie to her, she could not help but wonder if such a potion could exist.
If Alexander and the others knew the ingredients, perhaps she could use the information for her research or get Mike to steal the formula. Then, Rhea would have something to show Fred while making progress at the same time.
However, Mikeâs answer disappointed her, âI donât know. The researchers left, and I donât even know who they were.â âCanât you ask around?â Rhea grew upset after not getting the answers she wanted.
âWhy are you angry?â Mike was puzzled.
Rhea took a breath and tried to calm herself. Otherwise, it would affect her control over him. âWell, you should find out about it because it might help save your son.â
âReally?â Mike sounded excited.
âAs I expected, heâll grow agitated whenever I mention his son.â âYes, think about it. If I can develop an invisibility potion, I can enter the palace and save your son,â she continued to lure him.
Seemingly falling for it, Mike agreed, âYouâre right! Butâ¦. I donât know where they are.â
âAsk Alexander. Iâm sure he knows., Rhea added, âThink about your son. It might be your best chance to save him.â
âI understand. Iâll find out about it,â After a pause, Mike asked, âAre you safe over there?â
Rhea was surprised. As it had been a while since anyone showed her any concern, she could not help but feel somewhat emotional. She instinctively forced a smile and said, âIâm⦠very safe. Why do you ask?â
âWell, you can only save my son if youâre safe,â Mike replied matter-of-factly.
Rhea was speechless for a moment.
âIâll save Nick, but you must obey me and remember that Iâm on your side.
Alexander will not and cannot help you. Do you understand?â she stressed, trying to reinforce her hypnotic suggestion.
Mike replied readily, âI do.â
Rhea was relieved to hear that, saying, âLetâs keep in touch. If you find out anything, inform me as soon as possible.â
