His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 562

“Why would I know that?” he asked in return.

After asking that, he frowned and continued, “Why did you think I’d know about it?”

“You’re doubting me?” The gears in his mind moved, and he connected the dots quickly.

After he was silent for a while, Lily's subconscious mind started formulating a comeback. Still, she held back and eventually gave him the truth. "Yeah, I figured you had something to do with his disappearance, but I wasn’t sure. After all, you have the resources and influence to pull that off, but if you insist it has nothing to do with you, then that’s it.”

Trust was written in her gaze. Alexander believed she was serious about her words and not just coaxing him.

“I have no idea about it,” he said. Someone as insignificant as Nathaniel was not worthy of Alexander’s time. However, the mention of Nathaniel did make Alexander slightly jealous.

“You’re worried about him?” It sounded like a simple question, but jealousy was evident in his tone.

Lily had been with Alexander for quite some time, so she could quickly tell that something was wrong from his tone. Knowing he was jealous again, she was speechless at first but found it hilarious. “If I were worried, I wouldn’t have asked you so casually. I was just surprised when I heard about it.”

“It’s not surprising for anything to happen to someone like him.” Although Lily tried to comfort him, he could not be coaxed so easily, which was evident from his sarcasm.

He paused and cleared his throat before adding, “Perhaps I could ask my people to look up on it tomorrow.”

He was jealous, but if Lily wanted to know Nathaniel’s whereabouts, he would still help her.

“It’s fine.” Lily shook her head. “We don’t even know if he’s really missing since someone would have reported it to the cops. Let’s leave this case about a missing person to the professionals, Mr. Russell.”
