"I see, now! You're trying to kick me to the curb so you can find someone new, am I right?! Are you deliberately looking for a reason to kick me out?!" Maria immediately exploded. "Fabian Moore, you heartless man! You haven't even made it yet, and you're already considering abandoning your wife! How much hardship have I been through with you since then? How low did I stoop to kiss your brother-in-law's a*s? Now, you…""What are you talking about?!" He quickly covered her mouth and looked around warily. After all, there were people around them. It wouldn't be good if they heard her. "If you want to be happy, just keep quiet and follow my lead."With Maria muffled, the atmosphere became quieter in an instant.She frowned and remained silent for a while before she spoke again. "Then, you'd have to reduce the cost of production and recount everything. You shouldn't fall into someone else's trap. Does Ree know about this? She can be responsible for the quality control, just in case…"
“What?! An abandoned factory?!” Maria exploded when she heard what her husband said. "How can you let her work at an abandoned factory?! That is such a terrible place! You have so many factories and places. Can't you make space for her?!"Maria jumped angrily. "Give her a proper working space immediately! How can you be so stingy?!"Facing the accusation, Fabian cried out in grievance. "That's not the case! Rhea insists on working there. She said she didn't want a proper place and that the experiment was tricky. She wanted to work in a place she could easily leave behind. What can I do?! Even if I'm stingy, I won't do that to my daughter!""She…" Maria was at a loss for words after hearing her daughter's request. Although she was angry and anxious, there was nothing she could do.If this were Rhea's request, no one could talk her out of it."This child is something else. What is she thinking?!" Maria sighed. When she saw people still carrying things out of the house, she expressed
Fabian squinted, looking at the man that spoke. He thought the man looked familiar but could not put a name to the face."You are…""Mr. Moore, you've raised an amazing daughter!" The man snickered. His words were full of sarcasm and contempt, and the eyes that looked at Fabian were cold as they shot daggers at Fabian."Who are you guys?! How dare you come to my house and cause a ruckus? Do you think we're easy to bully?!" Maria growled.She could not stand hearing others slander or mock her daughter. She got riled up when the group of people appeared, looking like they were about to start a fight.‘Does this group of people not know who we are? How daring of them!’"Are you saying your family isn't easy to bully, but ours is? If you don't hand over that murderer, Rhea Moore, today, you won't see the end of this!" This time, a woman's voice sounded.Maria was already in a terrible mood. After hearing that, she almost burst into flames. "Who are you calling a murderer?! You b*sta
"Tell us what?!" Maria refused to back down. "Why should she? Just because you said so? Do you have any evidence? If my daughter did kidnap your son, show us the evidence!""Evidence?" Elijah snorted coldly. "My son, Austin Fike, is the best evidence! He’s recovering from what happened. How can what he said and saw with his own eyes be false? I will not let this slide if you don't hand Rhea over today. It'd be useless even if you try to get Secretary Rollins to help! Nothing will work!"Before coming over, Elijah had already done all the preparatory work he should have done. The police station reported the case and informed the higher-ups for fear that Cameron would overshadow it.Although Cameron had always been upright with a good reputation, the incident with the vaccine development project a while ago made everyone question him. On top of that, Elijah was unfamiliar with Cameron, so he had to keep a good hand.Hearing how Elijah had called out Fabian's trump card, he suddenly r
"Is that permission to ransack the house? Since you refused to hand her over, we could only get her ourselves!"After confirming that Fabian was unwilling to surrender, Elijah waved his hand, and the people behind him rushed forward.Fabian's face dropped, and he shouted sharply, "Hey! Are you harassing our family?!"The Moores had their henchmen as well. When Fabian called out, a group of men blocked the doorway. Immediately, the two groups of people faced each other, seeming like they were about to fight.Maria frowned and quietly stepped back to make a phone call.‘In this situation, it’s best for Rhea not to return. Who knows what was wrong with the Fikes for them to come over, acting wildly and indiscriminately? Rhea would be in trouble if she came home.’Maria quietly dialed Rhea's phone, but no one answered. She kept staring at the phone, but all she got was the dial tone. Maria was so worried that she started to break out in sweats.Michelle had been observing the Moore
"Who dares to ransack my place?!"Fabian was also getting anxious. He had no idea when those men got in and out of his place. Now Elijah publicly proclaimed that he wanted to search Fabian's house in front of his henchmen. Where could he hide his face if he allowed Elijah to do so?Fabian straightened his back and stared Elijah down. The two men stared at each other, and neither would back down.On the other end, Maria and Michelle were still brawling. The two women's hair was a mess. At this moment, the phone that they were fighting over suddenly rang.The two of them froze for a moment before they grappled with each other for the phone.Ultimately, Maria managed to hold onto her phone and finally broke free. After stepping aside, she answered the call. "Hello? Hello?""What?!" Her terrified face and sudden, raised voice caused everyone's attention to turn toward her.Even Michelle, who was about to pounce on Maria again, was stunned momentarily as she stood frozen in place.
"Bullshit! I…"The phone kept ringing. Fabian gritted his teeth bitterly. Although he knew Elijah was prodding, this was no small matter. Even if Fabian had doubts, he did not think Rhea could do such a thing.In the end, he picked up the phone and put it on speaker before preemptively saying, "Ree, are you still experimenting? No matter how busy you are, remember to take care of yourself. By the way, the Fike family is here to see you. They have something to ask…"Initially, he wanted to hint to Rhea that other people were around so that she would watch her words. However, a strange voice interrupted him before he even finished speaking. "Mr. Moore! It's me! Something happened to Ms. Moore!"Fabian was so taken aback that he froze for a while before glancing at Elijah blankly. Only then did he realize that the voice came from the phone.He glanced at his phone and asked, "What did you say?""Something happened to Ms. Moore! There was an explosion in the factory, and the aftermat
"Wait a minute!" Michelle suddenly called out. "We're going too!""Even at this point, you still want to…" Hearing those words, Maria roared hysterically in anger.However, Fabian quickly grabbed her, glanced at the Fike couple, and said coldly, "That’s up to you!"Then the Moores got into the car and drove to the factory. Elijah quickly pulled his wife into his car and followed closely behind.The two cars sped down the road to an abandoned suburban factory. In the distance, they had already seen clouds of thick black smoke and the sound of sirens before they got close.The Moores reached the scene first, and the two jumped out of the car to rush forward. However, the cordon was there to stop them from going straight in. Only after a few exchanges of words were they allowed to pass.Soon, Elijah's car came to a stop. Michelle reached out and held his hands, her fingers cold. Then she asked calmly, "Do you think this is an act?""I don't know." Elijah pursed his lips tightly wit
