His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1754

“I said nothing yet,” Mike said, stunned.

“Save it then! I’m pretty sure it’s not a good plan. Plus, why must we cooperate with you?” Alexander was tense and questioned hostilely, “You’ve long lost your credibility here. Why would we cooperate with someone we can’t trust?”

“It’s different this time around…” Mike did not expect to get rejected by Alexander before he even told them his plan. For a moment, he did not know how to continue the conversation.

“I’ll think of a way to save your son, but that’s it. Mike, our relationship as business partners ends here!” Alexander got up and extended his arm toward Lily to help her stand. He seemed to have no intention of staying on the topic any longer.

However, Lily did not get up. She just looked at Alexander’s extended arm before again averting her gaze to Mike. “What is it? I’m interested to know.”

Alexander was speechless for a moment.

“You’re wasting your time listening to his nonsense!” Alexander bent over, wanting to pull Lily to her feet. “Don’t trust anything he says! He has ulterior motives!”

Alexander was slightly agitated at this point.

By now, Mike understood why Alexander was acting this way. “I know you’re afraid Lily would get hurt, but that’s our only option right now.”

“Should I sacrifice her just because we have no other options?” Alexander asked angrily, unable to contain his anger any longer.

He did not need to hear what Mike had to say to guess his so-called plan, which was to put Lily’s life in danger by using her as a spy to get insider information about the organization.

After all, the organization wanted Lily on its team to complete the experiment in the first place. Lily joining them voluntarily would be the best scenario for them. Moreover, she might even be able to help Mike find out the whereabouts of his son. However, that was a dangerous plan.

The level of danger associated with this plan could give Alexander chills down his spine whenever he thought about it. He would never allow Lily to be in such a dangerous position. He was unwilling to let her suffer this way.

“Alex…” Lily held his palm and gently called out his name.

Her voice managed to bring some sanity back to Alexander’s head. He turned to look at her and sighed heavily before continuing, “Plus, why don’t we have other options? For such a huge organization with strong market influence, don’t they have other potential candidates to help them other than Lily?

“What are they trying to achieve by experimenting with all those poisons? Why must it blend with the fragrances? Why must it diffuse into the user’s body without them realizing it? How are they so sure that Lily could succeed? What if she doesn’t? Does that mean that they can’t achieve their goals?”

Alexander’s series of pressing questions rendered Mike speechless for a moment. It was not that Mike had not thought of those things before, but… he also had no answers to them.

He was merely an insignificant pawn of the organization who had to carry out his duties or anything they ordered of him. As for what they were planning to do, how much could he possibly know?

“I can’t answer those questions, but I know time is running out.” Mike looked up and breathed a heavy sigh, revealing a hint of helplessness in his gaze as he repeated, “Time is running out!”
