Chapter 2356

Yasmin smiled at Dominic once more and left. Her bodyguard then approached and grasped the handlebars of her wheelchair.

Holding the handrims to stop the wheels, she looked up at him. “Place Lily and the miracle doctor in the same suite. Make sure it’s spacious and comfortable.”

“As you say, ma’am,” the bodyguard replied and went to handle the task.

Yasmin looked over her shoulder at the closed door and let out a long sigh.

Mike had not gone far from the embassy’s entrance when a car pulled up beside him. He stopped in his tracks and got in.

Alexander, who was inside, asked solemnly, “How did it go?”

“I gave it to her,” Mike said flatly.

“Did she buy it?”

“I think so.”

Alexander nodded in satisfaction.

“Rhea is suspicious by nature and a self-centered person. She might suspect something if it was just handed to her. The more she has to work for it, the less suspicious she’ll be.” Austin shook his head.

“That’s human nature for you.”

“Well, human nature is complex,” Alexander said regretfully, “That’s why some people use it to harm people.”

“Are you talking about Fred?” Austin asked with a raised brow.

“Not just him, but many other people.”

After talking for a while, they noticed Mike was quiet and gave him a puzzled look. “What’s the matter?

Something happened?”

“No.” Mike shook his head, looking somewhat exhausted. He also seemed unhappy and listless.

Sensing something was off, Alexander asked, “Was it something that Rhea said? Or did something happen in the embassy?”

“No…” After a pause, Mike said in a quavering voice, “My son is dead.”

“What?!” Alexander and Austin said at the same time, shocked.

“Who told you that?” Alexander asked, “Or did you see something?” He placed a comforting hand on Mike’s shoulder.

Staring down at the car floor, Mike said grimly, “Rhea said Nicky is already… It’s true.”

“That’s impossible!” Austin said, “Rhea’s full of shit, okay? Don’t believe a word she says.”

Nodding, Mike said seriously, “I know she could be lying, but I.”
