Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 2070

More precisely, a hidden speaker was behind the folding screen, and the voice Lily heard came from it. Indeed, the organization was cunning.

Although they had brought Lily here, they still refused to reveal their identities. However, it did not matter whether or not they appeared. Lily knew the person she conversed with was the one behind everything.

As she picked up the speaker to examine it, an urgent and sharp voice sounded, “What harmful experiments are you talking about?”

Lily was startled, and the speaker almost slipped from her hands due to the loudness. She quickly placed it on a nearby chair and stepped back while looking at it.

“If you want to know, why don’t we speak face-to-face? We’ve already come this far, so why feign ignorance?”

“I… Can’t appear in person.” The person paused before slowly continuing, “I’m genuinely sorry for the harm you’ve endured, Ms. Christian. It wasn’t my intention, but I had no other choice.

“I had to do it, considering the bigger picture. I don’t expect you to understand, but I want to express my sincerest apologies.”

Lily found it amusing, especially the ‘sincerity’ part. “First, you tell someone you’ll take their life and use their corpse, and then you apologize to them. Is that your country’s etiquette? How intriguing.”

Another voice came from the speaker, “You’ve gone too far, Lily!”

Lily paused momentarily. Although both voices went through a voice changer, she knew the latter’s voice belonged to Fred, whom she had met several times.

However, Lily had expected this. She shrugged and smiled, saying, "If you're so concerned, why insist on this experiment? Aren't you afraid it’ll fail and yield results opposite your desires?"

The person sighed. "Of course, I know that, but there's...no other way!"

The person sounded resigned.

Lily lifted her gaze and tilted her head slightly as if someone was in the room's upper corner. "Are you running out of time, your Majesty?"
