Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1925

"Someone has wronged you, Mr. Corden!" Rick raised his hand and lightly patted Mike’s shoulder. Then he glanced meaningfully at Mike’s injury before sitting down again.

Mike sucked in a breath, obviously in much pain. As he put his leg away, he tied up the torn bandage again and said, "Rick, what were you trying to do? Did you think my injury was fake?"

Rick's voice was cold as a smile crept onto his stoic face. "Well, not really. I just wanted to see what weapon the other party used."

His excuse was superficial, and no one bought it. Mike snorted and said, "If you wanted to know what weapon they used, you could've just asked me. Also, don't change the topic! The most urgent thing right now is to find the boss quickly!"

After a pause, he continued, "Do the higher-ups know about the boss’s disappearance?"

Everyone was downplaying the situation before this. Now that Mike had mentioned the higher-ups, Rhea's face froze. Even Rick raised his brows.

Only Lily did not react much to it.

She did not know which 'higher-up' Mike referred to. Although she had a rough idea and knew people were working behind the scenes, she had never been in contact with them.

"W-We’ve yet to inform them," Rhea hesitantly said as she glanced at Rick with uncertainty.

"It's something recent, and the incident was so sudden. That’s why we haven’t reported it yet."

She opened her hands up, making her look helpless.

Rhea suddenly became angry and slammed the table before leaning forward. "Stop pretending! You must have something to do with the boss's disappearance! You came here with bad intentions from the very beginning!"

"As I said, I was in the lab at that time," Lily was not angry as she lightly answered, "There is evidence of that."

She glanced at Rick; he was the one that brought this proof to the table.

"What evidence?! Anyone can falsify evidence! From what I see, you're the biggest suspect here! You should be apprehended and tortured for answers!" It was Rhea's chance to get Lily detained, so she quickly jumped on it. She would never let such an opportunity go.
