His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2328

All his efforts had gone to waste just as he was about to achieve success.

"All right, the show's over for you." The queen sighed regretfully. "I gave you a chance, but you chose to betray me. You've truly let me down, Fred."

As Fred had served her for many years, the queen wanted to show him mercy. However, since he had tried to replace her, she didn’t have any other choice in the matter.

"This is all a mistake, Your Majesty. I've always told you that you’d stand to benefit from the experiment, haven't I? Yes, I’ve taken some wrong turns and gotten a bit greedy, but I only restricted your freedom and did all this for you!

“Think about it. Why have I put so much effort into this?" Fred was unwilling to give up. "When the experiment succeeds, you’re going to be the one to live on forever. What do I have to gain from this?"

"Cut the act, Fred!" Lily’s cold voice interrupted him. "You’re just using me and the queen as guinea pigs. If the experiment succeeds, you’ll then repeat it and yourself to achieve immortality.”

“If the experiment fails, you’d just continue to make adjustments until you succeed. The queen and I are nothing but lab rats to you!”

Fred looked disturbed. “That’s a lie! You’re trying to turn the queen against me!

“Your Majesty, do not believe her. Hylanders can’t be trusted. We spent a long time trying to find a compatible vessel for you in terms of blood type and physique. Even if I plan to experiment on myself in the future, I’d need to find a suitable vessel.”

“I did all this for you, Your Majesty. My only mistake is that I’ve been so anxious to make it work that I’ve offended you somehow. You mustn’t believe a word she says, Your Majesty.”

“And who says you don’t have a vessel?”

Lily’s words stunned Fred and made him turn toward her. “What do you mean?”

Even Rhea threw Lily a puzzled look. As the experiment itself was not something she could fully grasp, she found it even harder to follow what was going on. Not daring to say a word, she felt the urge to run away.

Rhea initially thought she could establish herself in the organization by gaining Fred’s trust, but now it looked like he couldn’t even save himself. Just as she took a step back, Lily looked toward her.
