Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2143 -Alexander added, “Rhea’s extremely cunning, and her words are
dubious. However, not everything she says is false.”

Still, he seemed unusually spirited, and an air of confidence surrounded him.
“Did you have lunch yet?” Austin asked before Mike, who was approaching, could even offer to lead

He tried pulling Austin up, but the latter seemed to have fallen asleep and was too heavy to lift.
“Alex, come help me!” Mike said, struggling and huffing with frustration.
Alexander walked over and looked on calmly. “Let him rest for a while.”
