Mike had been suppressing his anger for too long and could not help but shout, “Then hand Lily over!”
Fred looked at him and shrugged. “Hand what over? Sorry, I don’t understand.”
“Cut the act, you—" Mike was furious.
‘What a shameless man! How can someone like him exist in Yudonia’s Embassy?’
Mike knew they were involved in inhumane experiments and wanted to lunge over to expose him.
‘He’s holding Nicky and Lily hostage, yet he dares to play dumb!’
Alexander stopped Mike and looked at Fred. “Here’s what happened. Lily, my wife, received your invitations and told me she would take the job. But she hasn’t returned until now. So, I’m wondering if the job is holding her up. After all, she’s pregnant, and I worry about her.”
He sounded courteous and reasonable. As a husband, it was natural that he came looking for his wife since she did not return from work.
Fred caught on. “Oh, you’re Lily’s husband. Now I see why you’re here. But…”
He shook his head and then said apologetically. “Lily didn’t come here. As you know, I sent her many invitations, but she didn’t reply, so I assumed she was uninterested. Did she tell you she accepted my offer?
“But when? I’ve never seen her here or received any replies from her.”
“B*llshit!” Mike blurted out.
Fred’s expression turned grim as he glared at Mike coldly. At that moment, the stoic man beside him suddenly tried grabbing Mike. His movements were as fast as lightning.
Mike was stunned when he saw the hand approaching and could hardly dodge it. However, someone else moved. As the hand was about to grab Mike’s neck, the person shoved him away and sweeping kicked the attacker.
The man leaped out of the way, and the two men engaged in a flurry of punches and kicks. Meanwhile, Mike massaged his neck and backed off several steps, gulping as he gawked at the fight.
As a businessman, he would never physically fight with anyone over a disagreement. Even if he wanted to attack anyone, he would not need to do it himself because he had bodyguards. Therefore, Mike was stunned to see people fighting in the embassy.
‘Thank goodness for Alex’s skills and quick response!’
