Chapter 2295

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2295-Lily was surprised Fred would try to protect Rhea. After all, he had abandoned her and the research center before, and Rhea had to go to great lengths to find him.

Still, he did not seem willing to grant Lily’s request now.

“Do you think I’d just give her away?” Fred smiled. “You’re wrong. She’s skillful and loyal. Why would I want to get rid of her? As for whether you want to cooperate, it’s not your decision to make. Don’t be naive.” He turned and glanced at Dominic. “Lock him up!” Lily was puzzled. “If you don’t let Dominic go, you’d be asking for trouble,” she said, trying to warn him of the consequences.

However, Fred turned halfway to her and chuckled. “Oh, yeah? But I’m not afraid of trouble. Lily, do you think I’ve forgotten how you played me last time?

“I’ll settle the old score with you after the experiment.” After a pause, he thought of something and said, “Oh, yes, you don’t have much time left.” He walked out of the room and saw Rhea looking at him from a distance. He frowned as he went over. “You shouldn’t have come here.” He blamed her for provoking Lily.

“I’m sorry! I couldn’t help it,” Rhea murmured.

“You’ll be real sorry if you fail in your tasks.” Fred glared at her. “Don’t think for a moment that I was trying to protect you. You should know why I did it.” “I do, and I thank you for giving me the chance to prove myself,” she said respectfully, lowering her head.

Fred was pleased. After all, he needed someone obedient and capable like her.

He then grunted and strode away.

Rhea slowly raised her head and glanced toward Lily’s room, smirking.

For whatever reason, the duke did not use her as a bargaining chip. It showed Rhea was helpful to him, and she could secure her place at the embassy if she could develop the invisibility potion.

Of course, she still needed to work for it.

After lunch, Alexander attended to some business while Austin returned to the X Department.

Dominic asked Austin to come because the department had been busy and needed to sort and process the stuff obtained from the research center. After all, Austin was the most suitable candidate for the job.

Therefore, only Ross and Mike remained in Alexander’s house. The prince seemed relaxed as he enjoyed his coffee in the living room.
