His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)
Chapter 1559

Rhea followed closely behind while Fabian and Maria got up, watching the two leave with mixed feelings. They wondered what plan their daughter had in mind.

They just hoped the secret Rhea was going to tell Cameron could save her from going to prison and that Cameron would leave the matter alone. The couple no longer cared about projects or businesses anymore. They just hoped Rhea could get out of this situation safely.

Anastasia was the only one looking toward the study with concern. Lily reminded her before this that Rhea was not as innocent as she portrayed. Lily was right about that, judging from how Rhea had been poisoning Anastasia since they were still teens. Rhea was a genius in the medicinal field, but she had an evil heart too.

Back then, Anastasia would bicker with Rhea from time to time. At most, she would get mad, think about ignoring Rhea forever, and stop going to her place. She had never thought about harming Rhea, but all these years, she suffered from obesity, anxiety, depression, hair loss, exhaustion, and whatnot, and it was all thanks to Rhea.

At this point, Anastasia could tell that Rhea still did not regret what she did and that she did not feel apologetic toward her at all. Now, Rhea was even trying to use some secret in exchange for Cameron's forgiveness.

'Would daddy let her go? He wouldn't, right?'

Meanwhile, Cameron and Rhea entered the study one after another. Cameron turned on the lights and walked toward the center of the room before turning to look at Rhea.

Rhea closed the door after her once she entered the room. Then she locked the door and placed her ear on the door to listen for movements on the other side before looking at Cameron.

"What is it?" Arms akimbo, Cameron looked at her imposingly, assuming she would not be able to trick him no matter what she did.

Rhea was not in a rush to speak and took her time to look around the room. That was Cameron's study room on the first floor, and it had a simple layout. There was only a small ventilation window, which remained closed. If he did not turn on the lights earlier, the room would be dark.

Everything had simple designs, from his desk to his bookshelf, but many books and documents were there. Rhea could tell this was where Cameron used to work at home. There were no entertainment facilities or a pantry in the room.

"Uncle Cameron, you're thrifty," Rhea said lightly.

Cameron just frowned upon hearing that. "Stop beating around the bush. It's pointless. If you have a secret to tell me, tell me now. If you're just trying to waste time here, you know what I'll do!"

"Of course I do." Rhea lowered her gaze and strode over to Cameron. "But would you honestly forgive me if I tell you the secret, Uncle Cameron? I know you've always adored Anastasia. I remember when Anastasia fell, and her lips bled when we were younger.

"You would come to my house in the middle of the night just to accompany her, although you said nothing about it.”

"How do you know that?" Cameron frowned.

'Rhea was still young back then. Plus, I only vaguely remember that since it is unimportant. Why does she still remember it?'

"I saw it when I woke up in the middle of the night to use the washroom. You accompanied her the entire night and looked distressed because she was in pain. However, she was only bleeding because of a small wound on her lips.

"When my tooth fell off, my dad still went out to drink at night. Why do we get such different treatments as someone's daughter? Why are fathers different from each other?"

Rhea appeared to be traveling down memory lane. There was a smile on her face, but it gave others an uneasy feeling. Cameron felt she was not in a proper state of mind right now. With one hand on his hips, he stared at her.

"Cut the cr*p. None of this justified why you poisoned Tasia! What secrets is the institute hiding? Are there any, or are you just fooling around with me?"

She looked up into his eyes and suddenly smirked creepily. "Uncle Cameron, do you want to know about the institute's secrets? I do want to tell you about it. The secret the institute is hiding is..." Suddenly, she pulled one of her hands out from her pocket and waved it before Cameron's eyes.
