Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 2040

Edward soon returned to the car. Alexander sat and leaned into a chair instead of sitting straight as usual.

“Collaborate with you? How?” Alexander asked calmly.

“I have resources and expertise while you have money and workforce. Together, we can potentially outperform the organization." Rhea stood up, her eyes full of hope.

Alexander chuckled. “Did you tell that to Mike too?”

“Of course!” Rhea did not try to hide it and smiled disdainfully. “Still, he’s useless. You, on the other hand, are different. You’re wealthier, more powerful, and also smarter than him!”

Her compliment failed to please Alexander as he asked, “Where’s Cameron?”

“Somewhere safer, of course. The house isn’t some heavily fortified prison—anyone can easily break in. Keeping him here was just a temporary measure. Besides, I told that idiot, Mike, about this place.

“It’s only a matter of time before you show up uninvited.” Rhea was smug, as if everything happened as she had expected.

“You’re smart, all right,” Alexander complimented.

Rhea grew prouder. “Of course I am. So? Do you want to collaborate with me? We have a thing against the organization. Besides, I can help you rescue Lily. Isn’t my offer tempting enough?”

“You think you can?” Alexander was incredulous.

Rhea nodded but knew he did not believe her. “I can pretend to make a deal with the organization. If I can offer a better alternative, they won’t have to sacrifice Lily. All I need now is someone to lead me to them, and I know you can!”

Alexander chuckled and ignored her.

Rhea noticed that and became even more convinced that she was right. “Well, the fact is I have Cameron. Of course, you could call the police and arrest me, but I’ll kill him first!”

“He’s your uncle, for God’s sake!” Alexander said despite himself.

“So what? We’re not blood-related. Even if he is, I don’t give a sh*t! Look, if he hadn’t asked my parents to care for Anastasia when she was younger, and if it weren’t for his position, my parents wouldn’t…”

Rhea caught herself and took a deep breath before changing the subject, “Anyway, I’ll make sure Cameron dies before I do. Besides, the organization possesses lethal viruses, and so do I!”

She cocked her head and revealed a meaningful smile. “You should already know, shouldn’t you? Didn’t Mike ask for your help? If he didn’t, then he’s truly an idiot!”
