The waiter was relieved to hear this and silently exited the booth.
Lily looked at Mike with a fire burning in her eyes.

Mike knew exactly what had infected Alexander and how much he was suffering right now, yet instead of visiting him, Mike came
up to her, offended her, then offered such a horrible deal.
With her standing up while he stayed seated, she did seem imperceptibly imposing.
However, Mike remained calm.
As Lily cursed at him and slammed the glass, he sat quietly.
Once she was done, he raised his head to look at her with a sarcastic smile.
"How much did they give me? They took away my son."
Although he smiled, Lily could tell it wasn't out of happiness.His hand that held the cup was so tightly clenched that his knuckles

her son, she was just a mother willing to give everything up.
"Why didn't you say so? | could've let the Russell family..."
Lily slowly sat down as she spoke, but Mike immediately interrupted her.
"There's no use! Are you looking down on my contacts and resources, thinking they aren't as good as Alexander's? This
organization is too powerful.lt's far beyond your imagination.I'm not trying to scare you, but it's beyond what you can handle."
"I'll find a way to save Nicky," she slowly said after pondering for a while.
"So, you're not willing to cooperate.ls that what you're saying?"
Mike lowered his eyes as his complexion turned gloomy.
"You know what kind of people they are.l can't..."
