Chapter 1740


    "You''re right!" Alexander nodded and immediately called his henchman. It turned out that other cars


    wereing in and out.


    Although it was alreadyte at night, the vine development base hustled continuously to catch up


    with the progress. Even then, people were still going in and out of the area.


    "Call your man back!" Lily said, "It''s pointless to stay there now. Edward might not even be there. If you


    can''t enter the base, there''s no use."


    Alexander did not answer as his brows furrowed. She had no idea what he was thinking.


    "What''s wrong?" Lily asked, seeing that he did not reply.


    "Actually, we might be able to get in." He raised his eyebrows.


    "Huh?" Then she quickly understood. "You mean…through Secretary Rollins? But he''s still in aa,


    and outsiders can''t know about it."


    After a pause, she thought of something and continued, "Tasia can still hold them back for now, but…if


    the Moores go over, Tasia will be overpowered."


    "You''re right. That''s why we’ll have to be one step faster than them." As he said this, he was already


    starting to call for deployment.


    Lily stood up from hisp and walked to the side so as not to disrupt him. At this time, she felt a


    vibration in her pocket. She had silenced her phone when she went to sleep. When she took it out, she


    saw a message from Olivia. "Did you find him?"


    Lily stared at her phone silently. She knew Olivia was afraid of disturbing her, and that was why she

    dropped a text instead of calling. Lily could not help but feel apologetic.


    ‘We found Edward but lost him again. What should I tell Olivia?’


    Looking up, she saw that Alexander was still upied. With that, she lowered her head and walked out


    of the study before whispering into her phone, "We found him, but we''ve lost him again. Don''t worry. I


    think he''s fine."


    After receiving Lily’s voice message and knowing that she was not asleep, Olivia immediately called.


    "Where did Edward go?"


    "He drove to a highly-ssified area, and Alex''s men couldn''t follow him in. They could only guard the


    gates. Although they did not see Edward''s caring out, we had no idea if he had changed into


    another car. We don''t know if he''s still inside or not."


    After thinking for a while, Lily continued, "However, judging from Edward''s state, he is deliberately


    hiding this from you. Whether he is helping someone or being coerced, there seems to be no danger


    for now. He is still… valuable."


    "Are you saying that he might be used?!" Olivia was surprised. "By whom? Also, what ce did Edward


    go to that Alex can''t get in?"


    "Don''t worry," Lily reassured her. "Alex is sending someone to investigate further. You should wait at


    home. If Edward returns, pretend nothing happened. Don''t ask any questions. We''ll see what he wants


    to do."


    "I…" Olivia sounded a little tense. She did not know why things turned out like this. "Edward… Why


    would he do this?"


    "Whatever the case is, we''ll always give him the benefit of the doubt. Whether he’s being used or


    coerced, we will believe that he did not intend this to happen. You believe him, too, right?"


    "Of course, I believe him, but…" It was also her unwavering belief in his words that pushed her into this


    position.


    Now, after discovering that he had been lying to her this whole time, her trust was running low.
