Chapter 1728

Olivia quickly turned back and tried to read Lily’s lips. Then, just after Lily finished mouthing two

sentences, Edward snapped, “

Why aren’t they leaving yet? Do you want them to stay and me to leave instead?”

“No, they’ re waiting for the elevator. I’m closing the door now!” Olivia said it quickly, gave Lily a small

nod, and then closed the door.

Seeing the door shut, Lily let out a barely audible sigh.

Wrapping his arm around her shoulders, Alexander walked with her toward the elevator and lowered

his head. “So??? What did you say to her?”

“I told her to call me without Edward knowing and that I’d like to speak to her alone.” Glancing back

toward the door, she saw it was closed and whispered her answer.

[Without Edward knowing? “ Alexander pressed the elevator button while raising his eyebrows.

“yes!” Nodding, Lily looked at him. “Don’t you think there’s something very wrong with Edward?”

“How could there be anything wrong with him? He’s been by my side for years. “If I couldn’t trust him, I

couldn’t trust anyone,” he said as he looked up at the floor number.

Alexander completely trusted Edward and believed the man felt the same way about him. However,

Edward’s attitude today made him wonder if he was the person he once knew.

“So you’re not upset that Edward made such an accusation about you?” Cocking her head, Lily

sounded more like she was teasing him.

Alexander curled his lips. “Nope!”

The elevator arrived, and the doors opened. As the doors closed behind them, Alexander asked, ‘Did

you try to take his wrist pulse because you suspect something is physically wrong with him?”

“Oh? Like what?” She curled her lips and acted ignorant. “I just wanted to check if he’s suffering from

any injuries. I wasn’t suspecting anything, okay?”

“No?” Alexander playfully pinched her shoulder for being mischievous, then asked, “Don’t you think that

his behavior and symptoms are similar to someone we met recently?”

“Yes?” Lily smiled and stopped joking around with him. “Are you talking about Secretary Rollins?”

“I wouldn’t have thought so if it weren’t for such a precedent.

However, we just met Cameron, and we know there’s a way to control people’s minds. If I’ve guessed

correctly, you wanted to check if a needle was inside him, didn’t you?”

He threw her a sidelong glance as if he had seen through her.

Lily sighed. “You’ve seen through me alright.”

Seeing her coy look, Alexander chuckled.

She then pulled along face and looked toward him with a frown. “ But you’re wrong!”

“About what?”

“You said if you couldn’t trust Edward, then you could trust no one.”

Hearing her words, Alexander caught himself and had a bad premonition. Before he could explain, he

heard her threatening voice, “Are you saying that I can’t be trusted?”

“That’s not what I meant!” Alexander claimed innocence.
