Chapter 1739


    Alexander nced at her. "The vine research and development base."


    "The vine…" Lily was at a loss for words for a moment. That was where she least expected Edward


    to be.


    However, it made sense that foreign cars would not be allowed in. After all, it was a heavily guarded


    ce. No one could enter and exit at will. It only meant that Edward knew someone inside who allowed


    him to enter.


    The vine research and development base Alexander mentioned referred to the one Fabian had


    snatched from La Beaute Group’s hands. It was the project Cameron called for a rebid that tarnished


    him with infamy.


    ‘Could this mean Edward, Cameron, Fabian, and Rhea are a team?’


    Even those unknown organizations in the previous research institute had something to do with this.


    "I guess we can assume that someone has poisoned or controlled Edward," Lily stated after analyzing


    the situation. Everything was starting to make sense. The fog in her mind gradually dissipated, and she


    felt they were getting closer to the truth.


    "Maybe, but maybe not." Alexander''s ambiguous answer made Lily highly curious. "What do you


    mean?"


    Looking deeply at her, he smiled and turned around to pull her into his embrace. Then he pulled the


    nket around her. "It''s cold at night. I don''t want you to catch a cold."


    Warmth immediately engulfed Lily as she instinctively snuggled into his arms. However, she still


    remembered her question. "You haven''t answered me! What do you mean? Stop beating around the


    bush!"


    Alexander pinched her cheeks and softly replied, "It''s just a guess, but maybe Edward might not be


    under someone''s control. Maybe he''s doing this willingly. However, it''s just a guess. I can''t be sure."


    "Huh?!" Hearing this, Lily was now fully invested in this. She turned to look at him, sizing him up


    carefully. "You mean, he''s an undercover agent?"


    Alexander could not help butugh at how serious she looked and went to nudge her upturned nose.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "You''ve watched too much TV; what undercover agent are you talking about? I''m guessing that maybe


    he’s looking for something, but I''m not quite sure. He should have given me a heads up if he''s trying to


    inquire about the situation at the research base."


    Lily thought about it carefully before nodding. "So, an undercover agent!"


    Her words made Alexander''s smile deepen. He could not help but lean in to kiss her cheeks when he


    saw her severe yet cute face. "Whatever you think is right!"


    Lily wrapped her arms around his neck and adjustedfortably before squinting and scolding, "Don''t


    change the topic! Are you saying Edward hasn''t left since he went in?"


    "The person following him has been guarding the door. Edward’s car hasn''t left," he answered.


    "Even if his car doesn''te out, it doesn''t mean he hasn''t left. If he wanted to stay hidden, he might


    not drive his personal car out," she said after pondering for a moment.


    Alexander was dumbfounded.


    ‘She’s right! Just because the car hasn''t left doesn''t necessarily mean Edward is still inside. The


    vine development base is massive. No one can look for all the carsing in and out from the


    various entrances. What if Edward left in another car?’
