Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1947

“I can't consider this experiment a complete success,” Lily said lightly. Her reaction was so bizarre that Rhea did not know what to say. She wondered why Lily did not react how she typically would.

As Rhea remained stunned, she overheard Lily say, "Didn't I tell you not to move?"

That one sentence immediately returned Rhea to her senses. She took it as an outlet to vent her emotions and ruthlessly threw the tray aside. The contents on the tray clinked and knocked into one another.

"Why can't I move? What temperature are you talking about? You're toying with me! Who knows, you might’ve cheated on this experiment too?!" Rhea's arm was sore from holding the tray. Plus, Lily's reaction was unexpected, making Rhea both angry and jealous. As a result, she spat out a string of incoherent words.

Then Lily’s answer almost sent her off the handle. Lily nodded and seriously said, “You’re right. I’m just pulling your leg.”

Rhea was speechless.

“There’s no such thing as constant human body temperature. You’ve studied medicine for so long and have done many experiments. How could you not know we can adjust temperatures at will?

“We could’ve created a vacuum environment, too, so why should I need an actual person to keep the temperature constant?” Lily's rhetorical question left Rhea speechless.

Although Rhea doubted Lily’s words, she knew nothing about perfumery. Hence, she only did as Lily said. After all, the organization had put more importance on Lily than Rhea. So, Rhea had to endure Lily to continue working for the organization and be involved in this project.

However, at this moment, Lily's solemn questioning made her look stupid. Rhea wondered how she could have been so oblivious and gullible. She could not help but retort, "But you said—"

"Stop!"

A cold yell stopped Rhea's movement in mid-air. She froze and subconsciously hung her hand in the air. She snapped away from her almost out-of-control consciousness and abruptly returned to her senses.

She turned around and saw Rick and Mike entering the laboratory. Then she hurriedly put down her fist and reported, “The experiment is a success.”

"I know." Rick's reaction was dull. It seemed like he already knew.
