Mike's expression darkened. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing much," Rhea replied leisurely and unhurriedly. Her gaze scrutinized Mike as she continued, "You should be the one most
aware of the boss's disappearance. After all, you were the only one there, weren't you?"
As she said this, she turned to look at the man sitting across from her.
Mike put his hands on the table and retaliated, "What are you implying here? Are you saying | kidnapped the boss? Why would | do
that? What good would it do for me?"
"That's a question I'll have to ask you," Rhea replied with a shrug and a meaningful smile. "Maybe you want to kidnap the boss to
force him to tell you about your son's whereabouts. After all, your grudge against the boss isn't something new."
"Rhea Moore, don't talk out of your *ss! The boss's disappearance puts everyone here in hot water! Do you think anyone can get
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaway with it? Besides, | got injured trying to save him. Everyone saw it. If you want to throw dirt on me, at least have some
evidence!" Mike exclaimed confidently.
A bandage was still around his leg, and when he pushed his chair back, it exposed his injuries. Then he turned to look at the man
on his side, "Rick, you saw that too, didn't you?!"
The sullen-faced man raised his eyelids and glanced at Mike lazily when the latter called him out. Although it was just a simple
glance, it was enough to make the people around him feel his fierce aura.
‘He is no ordinary man,’ Lily thought as she held her pen.
"When we arrived, you were alone." This sentence alone did not sound like Rick was taking any sides. It was a completely objective
statement of fact. However, it did feel like he was pointing a finger at Mike.
Rhea was startled for a while before a smile crept onto her face as if she was watching a show.
Mike was not stunned for long before he quickly becannoyed. "What are you trying to say here?! Are you suspectingas
well?!"
He pointed to himself and argued with gritted teeth. He put his leg on his chair, and due to his significant movement, the white
bandage slowly turned red.
He gritted his teeth again and spat, "I got injured to save the boss. Now, you're standing here and doubting my motive, one after
another. Letask you something, then, what were you all doing at that time?!"
He immediately changed the subject and threw the question directly back at them.
There was an instant silence.
Mike was dissatisfied. He turned to look at Rhea and said, "Rhea, you've been by the boss's side recently. You don't have any
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprojects, nor did the boss let you work outside. So tell me, where were you, and what were you doing?"
With the situation suddenly reversed, she frowned. "I was sleeping!"
"Who can prove that?"
"I..." Her complexion changed. "Everyone here works alone, so | was sleeping alone. Who else can prove my alibi?! Since you want
proof, I'd like to ask what she was doing at that time?!"
In a blink of an eye, she threw the question to Lily.
Lily stopped spinning her pen and slowly raised her head. She seemed a little dazed when everyone looked at her before returning
to her senses. She looked at them innocently and said, "Me? | was experimenting."
"Heh, who can prove that?!" Rhea sneered and continued, "I've already asked around. No one was in the lab at that time."
