His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2273

One or two failures seemed reasonable, but Rhea’s experiments seemed to have failed too often.

Back in the laboratory, Austin thought she was talented. However, he later discovered she was better at

improving others’ work, while her individual research typically failed.

Rhea did not develop the drug that tormented Austin and the virus in Burnwken, while the ones used

on Cameron and Edward were. In the latter two cases, her experiments had failed.

She was unable to control Cameron fully, and he even regained his volition. It was also the same with

Edward.

Interestingly, Rhea's research had always been about mind control. She seemed to enjoy the thrill of

manipulating others but had never succeeded. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Austin could not help but wonder why she was obsessed with it. He looked at Ross and asked, “So,

she doesn’t know her hypnosis has failed?”

Ross nodded. "She thinks it worked."

Austin shook his head and chuckled. After some thought, he asked, "Does my granduncle's abduction

have something to do with it? They realize Rhea isn't capable enough, so they want him to replace her.

Is that it?"

"Perhaps." Alexander was just as puzzled. He asked, "But you said Dominic went with them willingly,

right?"

Austin nodded. "That's the strangest part. No one can make my granduncle do anything against his

will. Many VIPs have tried to get him to treat them, but he never yielded, even when they offered him a

lot of money or threatened to kill him.”

‘The fact that Uncle Dom left with Fred showed that he wanted to. But why?’

Alexander paced back and forth and thought about his time spent with the older man and what he said.

Suddenly, Alexander had a thought and turned around. He looked at everyone before asking Austin,

“Could it have something to do with Lily?”

After all, only she could make Dominic want to go.

Having no wife and children, Dominic did not care about fame and had little regard for his life. The only

people he cared about were Lily and Galen. The others were stunned for a moment before nodding.

“Yes, that could be it!”

Everyone knew Dominic was partial to Lily, so much so that Austin was once jealous of her. Therefore,

the older man most likely went with them for her sake.

"So Dominic went to save Lily?" Mike thought about it and said, "But why did they look for him? They

aren't planning to replace Lily with him, are they?"

They all thought it was unlikely.

It was evident Fred wanted to use Lily's body as a vessel for the queen's soul. As Dominic was an

elderly man, the duke would never use him as a substitute.

"Well, people only look for him for one reason—" Austin looked at others and said, "to cure life-

threatening illnesses."

The others exchanged looks.

"Is Fred… sick?" Ross asked, puzzled.

"Or is it the queen?" Mike asked.
