His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2285

Seeing this, Rhea added, "Fred has more questions for you, and I think you understand that he's doing

this out of goodwill. Please answer his questions, all right?" She flicked the wine bottle again.

Ross frowned as if hesitant, then nodded. "Okay."

Rhea gave Fred a look, then moved behind him.

Leaning in, Fred looked toward Ross and cleared his throat. "Your Highness, have you gotten any

leads in tracking down the queen?"

Ross shook his head. "No. But I think it's because I haven't gone far enough. You said my mom went to

places like West Virho? It’ll take me several more days to get there."

Fred nodded, thinking that this made sense. "Her Majesty did say so, but I’m not so sure either.

Anyway, it's not good that you and Her Majesty are both away, Your Highness. Someone should take

charge of this place."

"You're around, aren't you?" Ross looked puzzled.

As this was the answer he wanted, Fred grinned. "Well, I'm just the chief minister. As you know, many

in the country are against me. They think that I've influenced Her Majesty, and I'm not a good person."

"That’s easily resolved. I'll make a call and tell them to give you their full cooperation while I'm away,"

Ross answered readily.

Fred was thrilled. "I'm afraid those people might claim that I've influenced you too."

"They can say whatever they like, but they still have to listen to me, don't they?" Ross let out an

impatient look and smacked his neck. "There are mosquitoes all over this place. I have to go. I'll leave

the country to you, Fred. I'll inform you right away if I manage to get any leads on my mom’s

whereabouts."

"Sure." Satisfied, Fred hung up. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Seeing him in a good mood, Rhea was relieved that Ross did not say anything he should not have. She

was anxious earlier as she was not sure if she could hypnotize Ross over the video call.

Fred turned to Rhea. "You’ve done well, Rhea. You deserve a reward. What do you want?"

"I want…" Rhea met Fred's inquiring gaze and smiled. "I want to continue my research at the lab and

serve you. That's the reward I want."

Pleased with her answer, Fred nodded. "You're not a greedy person, huh? Anyway, you should be

rewarded for serving me wholeheartedly. From today onward, you're free to go anywhere you please."

He waved and added, "Including the lab, of course."
