His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1925

"Someone has wronged you, Mr. Corden!" Rick raised his hand and lightly patted Mike’s shoulder. Then he glanced meaningfully at Mike’s injury before sitting down again.

Mike sucked in a breath, obviously in much pain. As he put his leg away, he tied up the torn bandage again and said, "Rick, what were you trying to do? Did you think my injury was fake?"

Rick's voice was cold as a smile crept onto his stoic face. "Well, not really. I just wanted to see what weapon the other party used."

His excuse was superficial, and no one bought it. Mike snorted and said, "If you wanted to know what weapon they used, you could've just asked me. Also, don't change the topic! The most urgent thing right now is to find the boss quickly!"

After a pause, he continued, "Do the higher-ups know about the boss’s disappearance?"

Everyone was downplaying the situation before this. Now that Mike had mentioned the higher-ups, Rhea's face froze. Even Rick raised his brows.

Only Lily did not react much to it.

She did not know which 'higher-up' Mike referred to. Although she had a rough idea and knew people were working behind the scenes, she had never been in contact with them.

"W-We’ve yet to inform them," Rhea hesitantly said as she glanced at Rick with uncertainty.

"It's something recent, and the incident was so sudden. That’s why we haven’t reported it yet."
