Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 2419

“Are you doubting us?” Rick sounded upset. After all, they would have caught Lily just now if she had snuck past them. Besides, she could not have entered at all since they had blocked the access through the elevator and the stairwell.

“No, I’m just saying what if,” Rhea explained, “I—”

Rick interjected, “There’s no what if.”

“Okay, maybe I worry too much,” she said awkwardly. There was no point arguing with Rick if he did not believe it would happen.

“I…”

“It’s time for you to leave,” he said coldly and turned to leave.

Still, Rhea refused to go. “Can I see Her Majesty? I promise I won’t interfere or say a word.” She raised her hand to swear, adding, “I’ll do anything you guys want me to.”

“We want you to leave now!” Rick snapped.

Rhea was at a loss and could only mutter, “Okay.”

Even so, she could not help but keep looking over her shoulder as she left. After taking just a few steps, she heard someone calling for Rick. She knew it was Yasmin’s voice. Surprised, Rhea slowed down and soon heard Rick’s voice, “Wait! Come in.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I’m coming!” Rhea happily ran over.

Rick was upset. It was evident he would not have said so without Yasmin’s order.

Rhea entered the room and realized it was not as spacious as she had thought —it was rather crowded. The doctors glanced at her and then looked toward the two beds. Lying in the beds were Fred and Nick.

‘They’re going ahead with the experiment in such an environment?’ Rhea was puzzled as she turned away without voicing her doubts. After all, she had promised not to interfere with what they were doing. She saw the queen in the middle and quickly curtsied. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“Why’d you insist on coming?” Yasmin asked bluntly.

“I.” After some thought, Rhea chose to be honest. “I speculated that Your Majesty might have started the R10 experiment, so I didn’t want to miss it. It’ll be my honor to observe such a monumental experiment even if I can’t take part in it.”

Yasmin glanced at her impassively and said, “Do you genuinely think it’s a monumental experiment?”
