Chapter 2233
Meanwhile, Alexander removed the hidden earpiece from his ear and looked at Austin.
Austin looked anxious. “How was it?”
“He said it,” Alexander said simply.
Dr. nc made thete-night trip to set Mike up. They wanted to see if he would ask Rhea about it, and
he did. From their conversation, Alexander could tell Mike had yielded to Rhea for Nick’s sake.
‘Why would he still trust Rhea? How can that woman help him find Nick? Even if she could, how’s Rhea
supposed to rescue Nick? What the hell is Mike thinking?’
Alexander felt like confronting Mike, but he could not.
They had set Mike up so that he would unwittingly ry false information to the organization. Their
effort would go to waste if Alexander were to interrogate him.
Alexander sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Austin tried to shake off those thoughts, thinking something was wrong with him. However, Alexander
did not notice Austin’s reaction because the former was in deep thought.
Seeing him so, Austin grew worried. “Hey, I was just trying to lighten the mood. Don’t take it too
seriously, okay? Perhaps Mike wasn’t thinking straight. People get fooled all the time, right?”
