Chapter 2311
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Fred thoughtfully paced back and forth for a long while. He looked somewhat anxious as he asked, âWho else knows about this?â Stunned, Rhea shook her head. âNo one, I think.â âNot even Lily?â Fred was incredulous. After all, Lily had developed R10 and should know if there were issues with it.
âWell⦠Iâm not sure,â Rhea murmured, âAs you know, we donât like each other, and she wouldnât tell me anything. Perhaps she doesnât know or simply chose not to tell me about it.â Fred frowned but thought Rhea was being reasonable.
âI see,â he said solemnly.
Rhea said, âSoâ¦â âWeâll proceed with the experiment tomorrow,â Fred replied decisively.
Rhea did not expect him not to change his mind.
âWhy is he so adamant?!â âBut the drugââ Fred interrupted, âThereâs nothing wrong with it, and the experiment will succeed. Is that clear?â Rhea hesitated when she saw his glare. She nodded slowly, saying, âYes, Your Grace.â She finally realized Fred would proceed with the experiment even if she told him it would surely fail. She could not understand why, but there was nothing she could do.
âOkay, return to the lab and rest.â Fred waved her off while yawning. âYou must stay sharp for the experiment tomorrow.
âOh, yeah!â He remembered something and opened the drawer, removing a phone from it. âThis is yours, right?â Surprised, Rhea nodded. âYeah.â âMike Corden called many times, but I didnât answer.â
He tossed the phone to her. âAsk him if he has secured the invisibility potion formula.â
âNow?â Shocked, Rhea widened her eyes.
âItâs midnight, so Mike should be asleep by now. Besides, wonât Alexander and the others suspect something if I called Mike so late?â Fred looked at her suspiciously and suddenly asked, âIsnât he under your control? Why do you look so worried?â
