His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2006

Mike felt a sharp object pressing against his waist. Although he could not see it, he knew it was unpleasant.

Mike hesitated momentarily and cleared his throat. Then he answered the call and put it on speakerphone without a second thought, “Hello, what’s the matter? Is there any news from Lily? Did she find the person? Did she locate the organization? Has she rescued my son?”

A series of questions followed, leaving no time for Alexander to catch his breath. There was a moment of silence from the other end of the phone.

"Are you going to say anything?" Mike's voice sounded irritable.

Rhea shot him a warning look, and her grip on him tightened slightly. Mike felt the sharp object, seemingly piercing through his clothes. He instinctively tried to move away, but she moved faster and pressed him down firmly.

Finally, Alexander spoke, "Where were you just now?"

That one question instantly made the atmosphere in the car extremely tense.

Mike looked at Rhea. He noticed her scrutinizing gaze on him while he looked innocent. Mike was trying to convey with his eyes that he had been with her this whole time and had no chance to update Alexander about anything.

Rhea squinted, signaling Mike to answer.

After some thought, Mike said, "I was out looking for clues. What's the matter?"

"Did you find anything?" Alexander asked again.

"Of course not! If I had found something, would I still need to ask you? All your connections and subordinates are just freeloading, aren't they? They didn't provide even a single piece of information!
