Lahat ng Kabanata ng Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Kabanata 2411 - Kabanata 2420

‘Not again!' Rhea exclaimed inwardly. She knew she should not be so impatient but could not help it. Somehow, she felt threatened by Lily also experimenting.Rhea took a deep breath and looked up at the apparatus and the data on the screen. She then threw everything into a specialized trash bin and marched out to see Lily’s progress. Rhea soon reached Lily’s area and realized she was sleeping inside.Rhea rubbed her eyes and looked again to ensure Lily was indeed asleep. The latter lay comfortably on a rocking recliner with a thick blanket over her. Lily looked like she was on vacation, with tea and snacks on the table beside her.Rhea grew even more frustrated when she saw how smoothly Lily’s experiment went.'How can she be enjoying herself here while I've been working my ass off? Instead of experimenting, she just found an excuse to slack off! No, she came here to agitate me. That must be it!'Thinking so, Rhea glared at her and had an evil idea when she turned to look at the s

Rhea had no idea what sort of deal Lily had made with Yasmin. After all, the queen had only put Rhea in charge of the laboratory two days ago.Rhea knew Lily was different from her. The former was upset that almost everyone favored Lily. From the look of it, Lily was not serious about her experiment at all."Whatever." Lily glanced at Rhea casually. "Snitch on me if you want."Rhea’s hand hurt, making Lily’s attitude agitate her further.“Do you think I won’t? You’re not the queen’s only favorite! Don’t forget why you’re here, Lily. There are no VIP guests in the embassy,” Rhea mocked and turned to leave. Lily remained seated as she gazed after Rhea’s departing figure. As the former’s smile faded, she grew solemn. Lily knew she was not the queen’s favorite. Although Yasmin seemed kind and friendly, she was highly selfish.If not, she would not have held onto the throne for so many years without abdicating and ignoring her son’s advice to stop the experiment. Therefore, Lily thou

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 nee

Lily’s heart and mind raced as she ran. Since she had come from the laboratory, she knew Yasmin was not there. The latter could not have brought Nick away so abruptly and secretively just to talk to him, either.Since Yasmin was eager for the experiment, she would not just need Nick. Fred would be there, too. As the queen kept this from Lily and Rhea, the older woman would also need the doctors who were present the other day.Therefore, it was evident that Yasmin intended to proceed with the experiment without telling Lily about it.‘Has she lost her mind?! Why would she do it knowing it’ll fail?!’Lily pressed the floor button multiple times, wishing the elevator would move faster. To her surprise, the button to the floor where Fred was did not light up. It stayed that way no matter how many times she pressed it.‘Is it locked?’Lily knew nothing was wrong with the elevator. After all, it should not have been able to reach other floors if there were. It was evident access to tha

"Are you doubting us?" Rick sounded upset. After all, they would have caught Lily just now if she had snuck past them. Besides, she could not have entered at all since they had blocked the access through the elevator and the stairwell."No, I'm just saying what if," Rhea explained, "I—"Rick interjected, "There's no what if.""Okay, maybe I worry too much," she said awkwardly. There was no point arguing with Rick if he did not believe it would happen."I…" "It's time for you to leave," he said coldly and turned to leave.Still, Rhea refused to go. "Can I see Her Majesty? I promise I won't interfere or say a word." She raised her hand to swear, adding, “I’ll do anything you guys want me to.”"We want you to leave now!" Rick snapped.Rhea was at a loss and could only mutter, "Okay."Even so, she could not help but keep looking over her shoulder as she left. After taking just a few steps, she heard someone calling for Rick. She knew it was Yasmin’s voice. Surprised, Rhea slowed
