His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2388

The dim and damp basement had a musty smell as it received no sunlight.

Suddenly, the door opened, followed by the sound of a moving wheelchair.

Hearing it, the man inside looked up.

"Your Majesty, you came to see me." He let out a stiff smile.

Once esteemed by all, the duke was now a prisoner. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yasmin stopped her wheelchair and quietly looked at the man who had served her for decades.She

asked blandly, "Fred, do you regret it?"

"Regret? Do I regret not starting the experiment earlier? Regret not realizing that you were on to me

right from the start?" Fred chuckled.

"I lost.What's the point of being regretful?"

Yasmin fell silent for a moment before saying, "So you don't regret betraying me?"

She thought he would reflect upon his actions, but it did not seem so.

Sitting up, Fred habitually smoothed his shirt despite looking unkempt.

"My dear queen, why would I do that? I never betrayed you."

"You never betrayed me?"

Yasmin could not believe he would dare to say such a thing.

"Of course! I only did what you asked,"Fred smiled and continued, "The lab and the R10 experiment

are your ideas.When have I ever betrayed you?"

"Didn't you conspire with the officials around me?"

Yasmin narrowed her eyes.

"I was only socializing with them.If you think that's conspiring, I have nothing to say."

"Then why did you hold me hostage?"

"That was for your safety, Your Majesty.I wanted to ensure the experiment went smoothly.Besides..."

Fred sneered.

“ Everything has been under your control, hasn't it? You could have left if you wanted to."

He was naive to assume Yasmin had stupidly handed everything to him because she had gotten old.

As a born leader, she once dealt harshly with those who betrayed or opposed her.

Although she had grown old, she had not gone senile.

Still, Yasmin thought he would repent.

"Fred, how could you still try to justify yourself?"

"I'm just stating the facts.What do you want to hear, Your Majesty? That I'm sorry? I can say so, but I'm

not.I never betrayed you, and I only did what you asked.I just...stepped out of line a bit."

He gestured with his fingers as he spoke.
