His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1806

Lily first looked at Mike, then averted her gaze from the tiny man before her, rejecting his request upfront, “No! I have my family, friends, and career out there. How will I contact them if I give you my phone? I’m here to work for your organization, not to become your prisoner.

“Plus, whatever I have on my phone is my private information. How could I turn it in? Also, how would I ensure you guys won’t harm my family the second I turn my phone in? I need to know they’re safe at all times!”

“You’re overthinking.” The man replied slowly, “Since you’re willing to cooperate with us, you’re part of us. Why would we make things difficult for our people? Plus, we don’t need to do anything for your family. We wouldn’t want to cause any problems here, either.”

That made Lily sneer. “What a joke! It’s not like you guys haven’t hurt anyone for no reason at all before this. You don’t trust me, and likewise, I don’t trust you. In what way can I be sure that you won't create problems for your own people?

“What about Mike’s son? Is holding an innocent child captive not making your people’s lives difficult?”

Upon hearing the mention of his son, Mike looked up at Lily in surprise. From his eyes, Lily knew he was slightly emotional at the moment. He turned to look at the man behind him.

A long time had passed, but he still had not heard anything about his son. He could only ensure that his son was still alive through the occasional video calls, which was his only solace.

However, as time passed, he was slowly losing patience and was getting slightly frustrated. The man licked his bottom lip and stared at Lily, gritting his teeth.

He had not expected Lily to be such a complex woman to deal with. “That’s none of your business, and I’ll keep my promise to you.”

“Why should I trust you?” Lily retorted without any hesitation. “You don’t trust me either, right? That’s why you want me to turn in my phone. Since you don’t trust me, how can you expect that in return?”
