Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1592

"There's nothing mysterious about the department, but I can't say it's not mysterious either!" Dominic began to beat around the bush.

Lily shot him a glare before he continued, "It's quite easy to tell. They specialize in the study of strange phenomena. Besides the plague, they also looked into some strange phenomena that science couldn't explain."

"You mean spiritual things?!" her eyes widened in surprise.

‘Why were there still doctors studying supernatural powers?’

He waved dismissively as if he could read her mind. "No, no, no. They don't just have doctors there. They have architects, special police forces, and various other jobs that you can think of. To summarize, they’re a group of elites from all backgrounds."

His smile was very flattering as he said that. "Speaking of which, you're also an elite."

Lily immediately rolled her eyes. "You deserve all the credit."

Dominic chuckled and ignored her sarcasm as he continued, "This department and I go way back. I was probably in my forties when they wanted me to join their team. But you know me. It would suffocate me to be forced into a small space, researching every day of my life. I haven't heard from them since I rejected them until now."

"That's why you sold me out!" Lily grumbled after casting a sidelong glance at him.

"What do you mean I sold you out? It was a recommendation! I recommended the most talented person I know!" The old man corrected her disapprovingly.

"So, instead of you getting cooped up in a small space to do research, you'd want me to take your place?" She was still unhappy that he did not discuss it with her first.

Hearing this, Dominic put his hands up in surrender. "I didn't mean to leave you in the dark about this, but they came in a hurry." I didn't expect them to come before you, and they looked like they were in a hurry. You were also busy, so…I didn't have time to discuss anything with you."

Lily thought about it and figured he was right. All her phone calls to him were short and straightforward, as she was afraid she might be monitored. She tried to keep the phone calls as brief as possible and did not say anything important.

"Fine. You're right." Lily saw the servants coming out with big bags of herbs. "I'm going to go now."

"Hey…" The old man stood up. "Do you really not want to see your son?"

Lily had initially planned to go home and pack her things before dropping by the hospital to visit Alexander, settle some matters, and remind Greg before she left for that mysterious department.

Unexpectedly, she noticed a car that had followed her at the fork of the road. That car seemed to be waiting for her.

Seeing how the car was already waiting for her, she had no plans of avoiding it. Instead, she drove beside the vehicle and braked right before colliding with it.

After stopping at such a close distance, she finally saw the woman sitting in the driver's seat. Although she was wearing a cap and mask, Lily could recognize the woman at a glance… It was Olivia.

‘What a surprise!’

Lily thought her stalker would be Rhea or someone from that mysterious department. She had never expected it to be Olivia. Lily quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car in shock.

As she walked toward the car, Olivia also paused for a moment before quickly getting out.
