His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2078

Mike held his neck, which the man nearly grabbed just now, thinking, ‘That was too close.’

He looked at Fred and saw the man casually watching the fight. The latter seemingly enjoyed the show as he narrowed his eyes scrutinizingly.

After exchanging several blows, the two men shoved each other away. The man was about to charge toward Alexander again when Fred said, “That’s enough, Verne. They’re our guests.”

Verne stopped himself and stepped aside. He returned to his initial spot and gazed at Alexander.

“You’re an excellent fighter, Mr. Russell. Your country indeed has a wide range of talents.” Fred clapped but did not sound sincere.

Alexander smoothed a wrinkle on his shirt and said blandly, “Well, your man is quite impressive too.”

“He’s just a so-so fighter. Don’t mind him,” Fred said while looking at his guard indifferently.

However, Verne remained impassive and stared at Alexander like he was dangerous. Fred cleared his throat and said, “I understand how you feel, but Lily didn’t come here. Still, I hope to work with her, so…

“I’ll try and think of ways to help you. Oh, isn’t Hyderland’s police efficient? You should call them if you can’t find Lily. I’m confident you can quickly locate her with your connection to Secretary Rollins.”

After a pause, Fred added, “I still have matters to tend to, so please excuse me.”

Mike knew he was about to leave and grew anxious.
