“That was all Rhea. At the time, the organization still wanted to get you on the team and work for them, so they had no intention of
killing you. Rhea got punished because of that too.” Mike told them the truth.
Lily did not inquire further about the type of punishment Rhea received. After all, that was not important to her. Now that Rhea was
dead, everything...
Suddenly, a thought hit her, and she exclaimed, “Is Rhea really dead?”
Mike did not know how to answer that question. After a moment of hesitation, he finally said something under Lily's scrutinizing
gaze. “She... should be dead.”

“Should be?” Lily raised her brow, obviously not buying his words.
Alexander was skeptical about it too. “What do you mean by ‘should be?’ Aren't you here to tell us the truth about everything?
Then why are you still hiding things from us?”
He paused, then added after a while, “Perhaps, is... Rhea still alive?”
They had suspected that Rhea was still alive and that the institute covered up the truth to deceive them. However, the autopsy
report proved that the dead was indeed Rhea, with the matching blood type and DNA. As a result, Fabian and Maria were also
preparing for Rhea’s funeral.
Although there was a series of evidence to prove Rhea’s death, it was a strange occurrence, and so coincidental that it was
unbelievable to them.
Since Mike visited them today, they had to take this chance to make things clear with him.
“Well...” Mike looked at the couple and frowned. Then he picked up the cup and downed the tea before sighing heavily, “Fine! Let
“Oh?” The couple looked at each other, noticing the doubt in each other's eyes.
“] know you're suspicious ofbecause | was the one who wronged you at first. But there's no need forto lie about this. I'm
just someone insignificant in this organization. Rhea could be alive, but they didn’t tellabout it. Or perhaps she has really

The room returned to silence for a moment.
The two looked at him for stime, believing that Mike was telling the truth. There was indeed no need for him to lie about this.
If he wanted to lie to them, he could assure them that Rhea was truly dead. However, he had his own suspicions as well. That
made it look like he was telling the truth and meant he was clueless about Rhea’s situation.
As expected, the organization was cunning and cautious. Even Mike, who was under their control, was wary of them.
“| have another question for you,” Lily asked with narrowed eyes, her fingers gently tapping on her arm.
“Ask away. I'll tell you everything | know and give you as much information as possible about the things | don’t have the answers
to.” Mike stretched his limbs. He looked ready to be frank with them and had an air of righteousness around him.
Lily did not get convinced by just that attitude of his. She still had doubts and asked, “The organization has been trying to get me
on their team because they want to blend the poison with the scent of the fragrances, don’t they?”
