His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1517

The man was courteous, and Lily could not find fault for his words. She would be deemed as unreasonable to barge into the place with her men.

Lily turned her head. “You guys stay here. I’ll be right back.”

“Ma’am!” The bodyguards were worried.

“I’ll be fine,” She said casually, held up her hand, and glanced inwardly. ‘Even if it’s the lion’s den, I’m still going in!’

She walked in, and the gate closed behind her. The research institute looked deserted and eerie.

‘When Professor Thompson and I were around, the gate wouldn’t be closed during the daytime, and people would come and go freely. Although I wouldn’t describe the place as lively, there were activities. Now it’s just like an abandoned building.’

She craned her neck, took a glance, and walked toward the building.

The moment she entered, she saw Rhea in her white coat, one hand in her pocket and another pointing at something on a document, whispering to someone beside her. Only when the person nodded and left did she look up at Lily.

She smiled. “You’re here again? Did you leave something important in the lab? Or you can’t bear to leave this place and want to rejoin us?”

“If I return, would you let me take your place?” Lily glanced sideways at Rhea and said blandly.

Rhea laughed. “What are you talking about? This isn’t a palace—we’re not vying for the throne. Can’t we work together? We were colleagues, weren’t we? Also, I’m a big fan of yours, Mrs. Russell.”
