His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2239

Austin was the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat and looked at Alexander askingly. “So, what should we do next?

Pretend we don’t know anything or act like we're assuming Mike's under Rhea's control?”

Pointing at Mike, Austin pondered this but did not know what to do. The situation was too complicated for him to handle. He had a

way with medical problems, but their scenawas complicated.

‘How do we solve it without incurring complications?”

Unable to figure it out, Auston consulted Alexander.

After sthought, Alexander said, “Let’s pretend you didn’t confess to us and that we're still suspecting you. Let Rhea keep

thinking you're under her control.”

Mike nodded in agreement. He would not have told the other two about his plan if he was not concerned about them jeopardizing

it. He only told Austin and Alexander to make them realize the situation was not as bad as they had imagined.

Mike also did not want them to think he was incompetent. In other words, he had no wish to change his original plan.

“Would Rhea discover that her hypnosis didn’t work at all?” Alexander asked again, still concerned.

Mike's gaze was unwavering. “Rest assured, she'll never find out. She also used her drug on me. | guess it was supposed to induce

the hypnosis, and I—"

calm, even smiling faintly.

“Your wrist pulse is indeed abnormal. Is that why you refused to letfeel your wrist and avoidedfor the last two days?”

Austin caught on.

Mike nodded and chuckled bitterly, “You're quite perceptive. | tried to do it subtly, but you noticed it anyway.”

Austin raised his brow. “That's because we were already suspicious of you then. Since we were here, | paid attention to every move

you made. Although | was joking, you didn’t wantto check your pulse. It showed you were hiding something.”

“So, how is he? Is he poisoned?” Alexander asked, worried.

‘I've got to hand it to Mike,” he thought, ‘He told us nothing even though Rhea had drugged and hypnotized him. | doubt he

would've told us anything if we weren't about to confront him. Still, what could he accomplish by enduring everything alone?’
