Lahat ng Kabanata ng Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Kabanata 1921 - Kabanata 1930

Lily stepped out from the secret room with Edward in tow. Then she turned to him and said, “You should leave this place.”Edward was puzzled.“Whatever your goal is, you can’t help much by staying here, not to mention the danger you’ll put yourself in,” Lily added, “Just go!”“I can’t!” Edward said, “This place is dangerous!”“All the more reason for you to leave.” Lily put her hand on his shoulder and said solemnly, “They forced me and Mike to stay, but not you! Just leave. There are people outside this place who need you more!”After a pause, she said meaningfully, “Someone is waiting for you back home!”Edward became misty-eyed. He knew who Lily referred to but could not leave the place, knowing how dangerous it was.“Mrs. Russell, I want to stay here and protect you,” he said. “I disrupted your plan, and if anyone finds out what happened, you two will be in grave danger!”Lily noticed his sincerity and smiled. “Edward, when it comes to fighting, do you honestly think I need

Mike's expression darkened. "What do you mean?""Nothing much," Rhea replied leisurely and unhurriedly. Her gaze scrutinized Mike as she continued, "You should be the one most aware of the boss's disappearance. After all, you were the only one there, weren't you?"As she said this, she turned to look at the man sitting across from her.Mike put his hands on the table and retaliated, "What are you implying here? Are you saying I kidnapped the boss? Why would I do that? What good would it do for me?""That's a question I'll have to ask you," Rhea replied with a shrug and a meaningful smile. "Maybe you want to kidnap the boss to force him to tell you about your son's whereabouts. After all, your grudge against the boss isn't something new.""Rhea Moore, don't talk out of your *ss! The boss's disappearance puts everyone here in hot water! Do you think anyone can get away with it? Besides, I got injured trying to save him. Everyone saw it. If you want to throw dirt on me, at least have

"Someone has wronged you, Mr. Corden!" Rick raised his hand and lightly patted Mike’s shoulder. Then he glanced meaningfully at Mike’s injury before sitting down again.Mike sucked in a breath, obviously in much pain. As he put his leg away, he tied up the torn bandage again and said, "Rick, what were you trying to do? Did you think my injury was fake?"Rick's voice was cold as a smile crept onto his stoic face. "Well, not really. I just wanted to see what weapon the other party used."His excuse was superficial, and no one bought it. Mike snorted and said, "If you wanted to know what weapon they used, you could've just asked me. Also, don't change the topic! The most urgent thing right now is to find the boss quickly!"After a pause, he continued, "Do the higher-ups know about the boss’s disappearance?"Everyone was downplaying the situation before this. Now that Mike had mentioned the higher-ups, Rhea's face froze. Even Rick raised his brows.Only Lily did not react much to it.

Rick only understood what Lily meant after a moment. He shook his head and said, “No. Before the boss returns, four of us can express our opinions and doubts. Anyone who has an opinion can speak up as well. Certainly…"After a pause, his eyes gradually turned cold and sullen. "If anyone is a traitor, they will not be let go!"Once the meeting adjourned, Rhea stood before Lily solemnly. "Is it you?""What do you think?" Lily looked at her leisurely, neither admitting nor denying it."It seems you are competent. I didn't expect you to be able to kidnap the boss. However, don't assume your plan is seamless. You have no idea how scary the people behind the boss are!" Rhea retorted.Fear quickly flashed across her eyes as she mentioned those working behind the scenes.Lily laughed lightly. "Why? Do you understand fear as well? Here I was, thinking you were a fearless psychopath!""You—!" Rhea was furious upon being ridiculed."Also, you said I can't assume the plan to be seamless, r

"Since the boss is ‘missing,’ I guess Rick's also under pressure?" Lily asked lazily."That's inevitable. After all, we're not in direct contact with the higher-ups. Even if they wanted to pressure or punish us, they would do it through…" Mike stopped and looked at her. "So, what are you trying to say here?"She shook her head and said, "I think Edward’s reckless attack this time may not be entirely wrong. Before, we were fearful and hesitant, not daring to make a move on the boss because we had our reservations.“Edward doesn't know much, nor does he think things through. He’s highly straightforward, but sometimes, the simplest ideas and actions result in the biggest breakthroughs."Mike was deep in thought after listening to her words.‘She’s right. I didn’t dare to take action because I was worried about Nick. Meanwhile, Lily wanted to catch the bigger fish behind the boss, so she didn’t take action either. However, Edward knew nothing.’He only thought about blowing up and de
