His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2040

Edward soon returned to the car. Alexander sat and leaned into a chair instead of sitting straight as usual.

“Collaborate with you? How?” Alexander asked calmly.

“I have resources and expertise while you have money and workforce. Together, we can potentially outperform the organization." Rhea stood up, her eyes full of hope.

Alexander chuckled. “Did you tell that to Mike too?”

“Of course!” Rhea did not try to hide it and smiled disdainfully. “Still, he’s useless. You, on the other hand, are different. You’re wealthier, more powerful, and also smarter than him!”

Her compliment failed to please Alexander as he asked, “Where’s Cameron?”

“Somewhere safer, of course. The house isn’t some heavily fortified prison—anyone can easily break in. Keeping him here was just a temporary measure. Besides, I told that idiot, Mike, about this place.

“It’s only a matter of time before you show up uninvited.” Rhea was smug, as if everything happened as she had expected.

“You’re smart, all right,” Alexander complimented.

Rhea grew prouder. “Of course I am. So? Do you want to collaborate with me? We have a thing against the organization. Besides, I can help you rescue Lily. Isn’t my offer tempting enough?”

“You think you can?” Alexander was incredulous.

Rhea nodded but knew he did not believe her. “I can pretend to make a deal with the organization. If I can offer a better alternative, they won’t have to sacrifice Lily. All I need now is someone to lead me to them, and I know you can!”
