His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1805

In response to Lily’s question, the man laughed indifferently and said slowly, “That’s nothing you should worry about. It could be you, me, or any other intellectuals, but never those idiots.”

Arrogance and disdain were evident in his tone, making Lily frown as she scoffed. “You think you’re one of the intellectuals, then?”

“Of course!” He opened his arms and answered confidently. “Haven’t the recent happenings proved my intelligence? I was the one who planned everything and threw the world into chaos. If you hadn’t disrupted the process, I would’ve completed the entire project by now!”

Speaking of which, he felt it was a pity for not recruiting Lily since the beginning. If he had done so, he would have succeeded by now. However, he did not think Lily would have such an essential role in the project then.

The other researchers could not blend the fragrances and the herbs ideally after she left, causing the project to delay until now. They had no choice but to bring her back into the team again.

She was an uncertainty to the organization and a hidden hazard to their project. They would not have wanted to recruit her into the team if they had a choice.

“No, you’re wrong,” Lily said faintly, “It’s not because of me. Many people are more brilliant than you and I—the others from your organization. You’re just too uncultured to see it. Even without my involvement, the plague would be under control quickly, with the right actions taken to mediate the situation. Even with me, your organization wouldn’t succeed!”

“That’s just your side of the story, but that isn’t what I see!” He did not believe Lily’s words. From his perspective and the news he had received, the plague was under control quickly because Lily managed to create an antidote.

According to their initial plan, at least 25% of humankind should have died from the disaster. However, that was all water under the bridge now. Their priority was their project, which the organization could no longer delay.

Lily did not argue over that because it would be pointless. One day, he would need to pay the price for his actions.

“Fine, let’s move past those pointless conversations and get back to the point. What do you need me to do, to be exact? Do I just need to blend the fragrances and herbs like before?” After a pause, she added, “Or do you want me to cover up the poison’s scent completely, so other people can willingly inhale the drug?”

“That’s right!” The man was pleased. “You’re indeed an intelligent lady.”

Lily only felt repelled by his praise and stood with one hand supporting her waist. “Let’s not waste more time and get down to brass tax. Show me that great research of yours.”

However, Mike and the man stood still, staring at her profoundly as if he was pondering something.

“What is it? Do you have concerns?” Lily asked with a raised brow.

“Of course!” The man nodded, admitting to his concerns directly. “First of all, welcome to the organization! Next, we’d like you to refrain from any communication with external parties during your service period to prevent problems from arising. Hence, you must surrender your phone to us.”

The man threw a look at Mike as he spoke. Although Mike was hesitant, he took a step toward Lily. “Lily…”
