Chapter 1713
The caller did not speak when the call connected.
Lily said hello but did not get a response.She thought there was a problem with her phone and was about to hang up when she
vaguely heard something.
It was not a voice but a messy background noise—wind blowing and faint honks.
Puzzled, Lily looked at the phone screen and confirmed it was an unknown number.lt was a local one.
However, when she put the phone to her ear again, she heard nothing.
"Hello? Please say something."
Still, there was no answer.
Alexander noticed something was off and looked at Lily.
"What's wrong?"
Lily shook her head.

She planned to wait another 30 seconds before regarding it as a prank call and hanging up if she received no replies.
As she lost her patience, a slightly urgent female voice echoed, "Lily!"
"Tasia?"
Lily was surprised to hear her voice and wondered if it was inconvenient for her to talk.
"Are you all right? Where are you? Is it inconvenient to talk? Is this your number? How about | call you later?"
"No, no..."
Anastasia interrupted her in a hushed tone.
"Lily, I'm at hsecretly using my servant's phone.There's indeed something wrong with my father.| think he’s under my cousin's
control."
"Rhea?"
Lily asked subconsciously, then remembered that the woman had died.
She frowned.
"Don’t panic and tellslowly.Are you in danger? Has your father done anything to you? If you—"
"I've been okay recently.My father hasn't paid much attention tobut has been anxious.| suspect it's because Rhea hadn't come
and given him the drug...Lily, are you free to cto my house and take a look at my father?"
She spoke quickly and urgently, but each sentence carried vital information.
Lily quickly grasped her intention.
"You'd liketo look at your father to see what drug Rhea has given him and how she managed to control him?"
"Yes!"
Anastasia nodded decisively.lt had been a nagging question on her mind.
Lily glanced at her husband, gazing at her without interrupting.She pursed her lips and nodded.
"Okay, I'll cover tomorrow morning.Take good care of yourself.Let’s talk further when | get there."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you, Lily!"
Anastasia was relieved and disconnected the call.

"Are you going to visit the Rollins?" Alexander asked when Lily hung up.
"I always thought something strange was happening over there but never had tto investigate it.Now I'll have to get to the
bottom of it."
After sthought, she slowly added, "Aren't you curious?"
"La Beauté Group has already secured the project.Why did he risk bad publicity and give it to someone else? That's so unlike him."
Alexander quirked his brows.
What happened to the vaccine development project was rather unusual.
If Alexander had not gotten sick, he might have confronted Cameron face-to-face.
What happened afterward further showed that Cameron was not who he used to be.
The shift in his behavior had attracted a lot of speculation—ssaid he had finally dropped his pretense for his brother-in-law’s
sake, while others thought he was possessed.
Lily always suspected it must have something to do with Rhea.
However, she was unsure how Rhea managed to control a living person.
Alexander briefly thought about it and said, "I'll go with you!"
