"You've been through a lot here. It must’ve been tough," Alexander expressed his admiration for Edward.
Edward found such a hidden escape route and learned so many secrets while remaining hidden. Alexander knew it must have been a challenge.
“I just wanted to do something meaningful before I died, but I didn’t expect it to backfire.” Edward felt guilty for nearly causing more trouble for his wife.
“It’s not your fault,” Alexander said. Lily had given him a general account of what had happened, and her last words were for Edward to take care of himself. She also mentioned she would detoxify him when she returned.
However, Edward could not even fulfill that. Instead, he ended up running around with Alexander.
“Sir, this way.” Edward led the way. He did not waste any time since time waited for no one. Since he was familiar with the route, the duo quickly found the “boss’s” office. The previously heavily guarded place was now easy to access.
When the duo exited the elevator and saw no guards, Edward stopped.
“What is it?” Alexander knew he must have discovered something.
After some hesitation, Edward said, “I think there’s nothing here.”
Alexander understood what he meant. There would be guards if someone were here, making it difficult for the duo to enter. Otherwise, the guards could have easily relocated Cameron. After all, Rhea was cunning and would do such a thing.
“Let’s look around since we’re already here,” Alexander said after some thought.
Edward agreed and walked straight into the office, which was in disarray with everything scattered around. The spacious office looked like a tornado had hit it, making it challenging to move around.
