His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2135

“Is something wrong with the experiment?” the queen asked softly after hesitating.

Although she looked forward to it, she always felt the experiment might have flaws. However, she knew little about scientific things and did not know what the flaws could be.

Fred always said Lily was bluffing, but it might not be because of what was happening.

“R10’s biggest issue is that it has never been experimented on a living person. Nobody knows its risks or success rate,” Lily explained solemnly, “But Fred has insisted on completing the experiment and even tempted you to try it. Do you know why?”

As if resisting temptation, the queen hesitated before asking, “Why?”

“Because you are the last experiment, Your Majesty.” Lily’s words caused the queen’s ears to ring.

The latter widened her eyes and looked confused. When she finally caught on, she was shocked.

Lily saw the queen’s expression and knew the latter understood what she meant. Lily smirked and casually said, “That’s right. The experiment’s crucial last phase is not me but you.

“You’re Fred’s guinea pig. He’ll know whether or not the experiment will work through you.” She seemed strangely calm when she spoke.

It was as if Lily was talking about an ordinary experiment. She showed no fear, even though she was essential to it.

“As I said, greed knows no bounds. Your Majesty, the experiment was never to serve you from the start. Instead, it was for Fred. If the experiment succeeds, he will use it to prolong his life. Then you’ll become a puppet or…

“Well, I have no idea what else Fred would do.” Lily shook her head because she did not know what else he might be thinking. “However, Fred can always conduct another experiment if this one fails.”

The queen sipped a glass of water from the table, her hands trembling. She tried to look calm and said, “Y-You’re just guessing. You just want to escalate things between me and Fred so that you might have a chance to escape.”

“Do you honestly think that?” Lily walked over and knelt on one knee before looking at the queen. “Your Majesty, you know I’m right, don’t you? After all, anyone can be the ruler of a nation.

“You’ve managed the country well over the past few decades and love your people. I can understand if you struggle to let certain things go at your age. Fred just used you because of it.”

Lily’s tone was warm, as if she was talking to an ordinary older woman, not the queen.

The queen looked at the young lady before her and then sighed. “Even if you’re right and I’m willing to work with you, so what? I’m a hostage like you, so how can I protect you? Also…”

Lily noticed the queen’s hesitation and said, “No, you have a way.”
