Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2063-“You’ve been through a lot here. It must’ve been tough,” Alexander
expressed his admiration for Edward.
Edward found such a hidden escape route and learned so many secrets while remaining hidden.
Alexander knew it must have been a challenge.
“I just wanted to do something meaningful before I died, but I didn’t expect it to backfire.” Edward felt
guilty for nearly causing more trouble for his wife.
“It’s not your fault,” Alexander said. Lily had given him a general account of what had happened, and
her last words were for Edward to take care of himself. She also mentioned she would detoxify him
when she returned.
However, Edward could not even fulfill that. Instead, he ended up running around with Alexander.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Sir, this way.” Edward led the way. He did not waste any time since time waited for no one. Since he
was familiar with the route, the duo quickly found the “boss’s” office. The previously heavily guarded
place was now easy to access.
When the duo exited the elevator and saw no guards, Edward stopped.
“What is it?” Alexander knew he must have discovered something.
After some hesitation, Edward said, “I think there’s nothing here.”
Alexander understood what he meant. There would be guards if someone were here, making it difficult
for the duo to enter. Otherwise, the guards could have easily relocated Cameron. After all, Rhea was
cunning and would do such a thing.
“Let’s look around since we’re already here,” Alexander said after some thought.
Edward agreed and walked straight into the office, which was in disarray with everything scattered
around. The spacious office looked like a tornado had hit it, making it challenging to move around.
Moreover, the door to the secret room was open, visible at a glance.
Edward looked inside and said, “It’s empty.”
Alexander saw it too. Not only was it empty, but it was also filthy. Upon entering, a foul smell permeated
the air. He immediately recalled Mike’s words and warned Edward, “There might be viral residue here.
Be careful.”
Startled, Edward became more cautious. He carefully entered, taking every step with caution.
The secret room was not complicated, with no corners for anyone to hide. As for the office, it looked
like someone had rummaged through everything. The files and books on the bookshelves were
scattered everywhere, with apparent signs of being flipped through.
Alexander casually glanced around and said, “Someone has been through here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Rhea?” Edward suggested.
Alexander shook his head and denied it. “Probably not. Look, it seems like someone was searching for
something.”
“Was it the organization’s people?”
“It’s possible.”
However, they could only speculate because they lacked evidence. Considering how ransacked the
place was, someone had likely taken anything important.
“It seems Secretary Rollins isn’t here either.” Edward kicked a book on the floor in disappointment.
They took a significant risk getting there and ended up with nothing. It felt like their trip was a waste of
time and effort.
“I didn’t expect whoever it was to pry open the safe too.” Edward sighed as he glanced at the safe lying
on its side in the corner.
