Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 2415

Rhea had a sudden thought and hurried back to the laboratory. When she arrived, Lily was still lying on the recliner with her eyes closed. This time, Rhea marched in and asked, “You’re still here?”

Lily opened her eyes and casually glanced at Rhea. “Where else should I be?”

“So you don’t know either,” Rhea mumbled. After some thought, she caught herself and snorted. “Never mind. Just continue with your experiment.”

Rhea felt better when she realized Yasmin had not told Lily anything either. It showed Lily did not matter as much to the queen as Rhea had thought. Still, Rhea wondered where else the queen could be if not the laboratory.

Puzzled, Rhea turned and headed out.

Lily half-sat up and gazed after her with a frown, feeling something was amiss.

“What… do you mean?”

“Nothing. Just continue with your work,” Rhea answered without looking back.

“Or I should say go back to sleep.”

She mocked Lily because she did not seem serious about the experiment. Rhea thought she did not need to bother will Lily since even the queen did not care about her that much.

What mattered most to Rhea was finding out what Yasmin was up to. After going through so much, Rhea knew she could only achieve her goals by understanding what others desired.

Lily knew something was up when she heard Rhea’s hurried footsteps.

‘Although Rhea might be trying to trick me, it doesn’t look like it either. Besides, she was surprised I was still here when she returned. Where else would I be if not here? Why would she expect otherwise.’ With that in mind, Lily got up and headed out. However, there was no one outside, and the laboratory was so quiet that it was unnerving. Lily somehow felt even more uneasy this time. Soon after, she went to Yasmin’s room.

As Lily exited the elevator, a guard stopped her. “Halt!”

Lily said, “Please tell Her Majesty I need to see her regarding something urgent.”

The two guards exchanged glances before one said, “Her Majesty doesn’t wish to see anyone.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Lily responded half-threateningly, “It’s important. You know who I am and how highly Her Majesty thinks of me. If something happens, you’ll have a lot to answer for.”

The guards chuckled, and then one of them said, “It’s funny how everyone around here seems to think they’re VIPs and have something important to the Her Majesty.”

“Someone came here before me?” Lily asked curiously.

Catching themselves, the guards waved no. “No, no, Her Majesty says she’s not seeing anyone. You should go back and wait for her summons.” “Is Her Majesty not seeing anyone, or is she not around?” Lily asked. Due to her instincts and combat training, she could sense there was no one else around besides the two guards.
