As the organization held his son hostage, he was always submissive whenever he tried to bargain with the man. He would also
never dare to make such a demand. Even his outburst was limited to yelling.
He and the man knew well that he dared not do anything beyond that. Still, Lily seemed like she did not care and feared nothing
even though she was pregnant.
“Aren't you afraid that—" After being quiet for a few seconds, the man began to speak, but Lily cut him off decisively, “Nope!”

“However, why should | believe you're able to do that?”
With a dismissive sneer, Lily continued mockingly, “If you truly have so much power, you wouldn't even need a woman like me. You

Mike peered at the man for a while, then turned to leave, no longer as respectful as before.
Only the man and Rhea remained in the office while a dead silence ensued. Suddenly, the man grabbed the stuff on the desk and

Rhea dodged aside as the things fell all over the place.
Seeing her dodging, the man grew angrier and grabbed a book to throw at her, but he hesitated and put it down. He glared at her
with red eyes and asked, “Didn't you say everyone has a weakness? Didn't you say not everyone is indifferent to everything like
you are?”
Rhea was dumbfounded.
