Chapter 1806


    Lily first looked at Mike, then averted her gaze from the tiny man before her, rejecting his request


    upfront, “No! I have my family, friends, and career out there. How will I contact them if I give you my


    phone? I’m here to work for your organization, not to be your prisoner.


    “Plus, whatever I have on my phone is my private information. How could I turn it in? Also, how would I


    ensure you guys won’t harm my family the second I turn my phone in? I need to know they’re safe at all


    times!”


    “You’re overthinking.” The man replied slowly, “Since you’re willing to cooperate with us, you’re part of


    us. Why would we make things difficult for our people? Plus, we don’t need to do anything for your


    family. We wouldn’t want to cause any problems here, either.”


    That made Lily sneer. “What a joke! It’s not like you guys haven’t hurt anyone for no reason at all


    before this. You don’t trust me, and likewise, I don’t trust you. In what way can I be sure that you won''t


    create problems for your own people?


    “What about Mike’s son? Is holding an innocent child captive not making your people’s lives difficult?”


    Upon hearing the mention of his son, Mike looked up at Lily in surprise. From his eyes, Lily knew he


    was slightly emotional at the moment. He turned to look at the man behind him.


    A long time had passed, but he still had not heard anything about his son. He could only ensure that his


    son was still alive through the asional video calls, which was his only sce.


    However, as time passed, he was slowly losing patience and was getting slightly frustrated. The man


    licked his bottom lip and stared at Lily, gritting his teeth.


    He had not expected Lily to be such aplex woman to deal with. “That’s none of your business, and


    I’ll keep my promise to you.”


    “Why should I trust you?” Lily retorted without any hesitation. “You don’t trust me either, right? That’s


    why you want me to turn in my phone. Since you don’t trust me, how can you expect that in return?”


    Seeing that the man was not replying, she turned toward the elevator. “Since we can’t reach an


    agreement, we don’t need to discuss working together. The most crucial thing in a deal is trust.


    “Since you have doubts about me, we’re better off not even starting a coboration. Your organization


    has many capable people, and I’m sure they can help you with your problems.”


    Slowly, she strode toward the elevator. She was betting that the organization needed her and that she


    was important to the sess of their project.


    Just as she was about to reach the elevator doors, the hideous voice sounded as she had expected.


    “Stop right there!”


    Lily stopped but did not turn around.


    “Fine. It’s just a phone, anyway. I won’t take it away from you.” Upon getting the answer she wanted,


    Lily then turned to face him again, and her brow was raised this time to ensure that he was serious with


    his words.


    The man replied calmly, “I can understand what you mean, but don’t you ever forget that this is my


    territory. No matter what you want to do or say, I’ll know it all!”


    He pointed to his ears and his eyes as he spoke to warn her about the surveince cameras, as well as


    his people everywhere to watch her every move.


    That was something Lily was aware of. Smirking, she said, “Of course, but you’re mistaken about


    something there. I think I need to correct you about it.”


    “Oh?”


    “This ce is the country’s territory, not yours!” Lily smiled coldly while her gaze turned even sterner.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
