His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1751

Initially, Mike thought he could end all of this and save Nick if he obeyed all the instructions. However, his hope lessened as days passed.

The trio said nothing momentarily, resulting in stiff silence in the room. The atmosphere was so tense that it was almost depressing.

Lily picked up the cup before her and sipped her tea. After a while, she broke the silence, “What’s the point of you telling us all that today? Do you want us to look for Nicky?”

The couple would think of a way to save Nick even if Mike did not bring the matter up. After all, the kid was innocent. They could not stand by and do nothing when they knew Nick was in danger.

‘Is that what Mike meant, though? Is that why he came to look for us today? He had never sought our help. Is he at his last straw and needs our help?’

“That’s just part of it.” That was an unexpected answer. “It’s about something more important. It’s about… this organization.”

Lily was rendered speechless. She turned to meet Alexander’s gaze before looking back at Mike. “I’m listening.”

Even if Mike appeared sincere and the couple understood his difficulties, they could not trust him entirely due to recent events. No matter what he said, they would still be doubtful of him.

“More powerful people from another country control the organization, and I’ve yet to discover where they’re from. However, I believe they have a strong background, and we can’t afford to mess with them.” Mike suddenly stopped talking and looked at Alexander.

Mike used the term “us” to tell Alexander that even he could not do anything to the external forces. They were not easy people to deal with.

“What about that?” Alexander raised his brow while his expression remained calm.
