His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 2164

After all, Anastasia treated her aunt and uncle as family. She never blamed them when Rhea poisoned

her because they did not know about it. Moreover, Maria had spent much time searching for a cure for

Anastasia over the years.

Of course, Maria had an ulterior motive, but Anastasia knew it was part of human nature to be selfish.

Although flawed, Maria and Fabian were still her family.

However, Maria’s words had shattered Anastasia’s sentiments. Instead of admitting Rhea had done

many horrible things, Maria blamed everything on Cameron and Anastasia.

Anastasia was disappointed and had nothing more to say to her aunt. She got up and looked at Maria,

saying, “I said what I needed to say. Take good care of yourself.”

She motioned to leave, but Maria was stunned. The latter did not expect her niece to walk away without

showing remorse or unease.

“You can’t go!” Maria hurried over and grabbed Anastasia’s arm, “Tasia, only you can save them now.

What about your uncle? He hasn’t broken any laws, right?”

Anastasia countered, “He’s in charge of the research center, and people were conducting illegal

experiments there. How could you say he hasn’t broken any laws?”

Even so, Anastasia had only heard about it from her father and did not know the details. Still, it was

evident that Fabian was partly responsible for what happened.

“What illegal experiments are you talking about? You’re not trying to frame your uncle, are you?” As

Rhea never discussed her work and forbade her mother from asking questions, Maria knew little about

it.

After Rhea’s fake death and subsequent return, Maria feared losing her daughter again and did

everything Rhea asked. Now that Maria had heard Anastasia’s words, she thought her niece was

spouting nonsense.

“Do you honestly think I have much influence?” Anastasia revealed a bitter smile. She knew her aunt

would view whatever she said or did with suspicion.

She gently pulled her arm off Maria’s grasp and said, “You know what you guys did. You and Rhea can

choose to deny it, but we all know what happened.”

After a pause, she added, “As for you helping Rhea hold my father captive, he says he’ll let it slide. But

that’s all he can do.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Maria paled when she heard that last part. She no longer dared to stop Anastasia from leaving and

stared at the departing figure.
