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 tsearching 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 | 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 fryour 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 | 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.”

Maria paled when she heard that last part. She no longer dared to stop Anastasia from leaving and stared at the departing figure.
