The two looked at each other in surprise. It was not what they had expected.What Cameron needed most now was what Rhea used to control him. With her dead, he should want to meet the person with the stuff he wanted. Yet, he insisted on chasing them away instead.“Can you please ask him again? Tell him it’s Mr. and Mrs. Russell—” After some thought, Lily tried to give the servant a more specific instruction. However, the servant shut the door before she could finish.“Please leave. Secretary Rollins is not seeing anyone today.” The door banged shut unceremoniously.There was no need to give the servant such instructions as Alexander was no stranger to them. It showed that the servant did it purposely if he had refused the couple’s entry despite knowing them.“Hey…” Lily wanted to knock on the door, but Alexander held her wrist to stop her. He gently shook his head, then directed her to look aside with his eyes.Puzzled, she looked in the direction he was staring and saw a piece of

It was a rare situation indeed to have to speak in hushed tones like a thief in one’s own home.“How is the situation right now?” Not wasting time, Lily got straight to the point. “Do you know that Rhea is dead?”The smile on Anastasia’s face froze, and she nodded. “I heard.”“How did your father react to it?”“He was very agitated when he returned that day. He locked himself in the room and didn’t let anyone in. All I could hear was things being smashed inside. Then…” She cringed slightly, unnerved by what happened that day. “Then... the servants went in to clean up the mess, but after my father vented his anger, he was a lot calmer, and there was nothing off about him.”“Besides smashing things, did he do anything else?” Lily pondered it and questioned, "From what you said, Rhea is using drugs to control your father. Now that she’s dead and can’t control him anymore through drugs, has your father become normal, even a little bit?”After giving it some thought, Anastasia shook h

“But my father refuses to see anyone!” Anastasia said anxiously, “He doesn’t want to see me either. That’s why I was able to let you guys in behind his back.” Lily nodded. “Then all the more reason to meet him.”The young lady hesitated. “Since you want your father to get well soon, how will I know what drug he’s been given without seeing him?” Lily added.Anastasia thought about it and was successfully persuaded. “Come with me!”She opened the door to the empty corridor. The house was so quiet that it was eerie. They went downstairs and stopped outside the study room. Anastasia turned and gestured for them to be quiet, then whispered. “My father usually stays inside for a long time and doesn’t allow anyone to disturb him. Sometimes, he doesn’t even eat.”She was worried but knew she had no other way.Inclining her head slightly, Lily wanted to say something before hearing a stern voice from inside the room ask, “Who is it?”Anastasia’s shoulders shuddered, but she still s

“Secretary Rollins, you suffered tremendous physical torment during each bout of attack lately. Now that you’re about to get rid of your suffering, shouldn’t I congratulate you?” Lily smiled and spoke casually.Looking calm, she did not seem to be joking and was bafflingly sure of herself.Cameron slightly narrowed his eyes. “Who told you I’ve been suffering? I’m in good shape!”Besides losing some weight and looking a bit worn, there was nothing off about him, especially his eyes.Lily fixed her gaze on them. His brow was furrowed, and his eyes showed impatience and scrutiny. However, his gaze was not dull, which was unusual if he was indeed under the influence of some drug.“Oh, yeah?” Smiling, Lily suddenly raised her hand to pat his shoulder.In shock, Cameron quickly moved aside and slapped her hand away, but it was a ruse. Lily gently hit below his ribs with her other hand before withdrawing the hand that was patting Cameron’s shoulder.As it was all too sudden, and she ga

Lily’s fingers felt around the back of Cameron’s head, then suddenly stopped. Then Anastasia and Alexander saw her fingers slowly move away. Lily was holding something shiny between her two fingers. The other two would not have seen it if the light did not reflect on it.“What was that?” Anastasia said in shock. She was horrified to see Lilly pull it out from the back of her father’s head.Before Lily could answer, Cameron straightened his back and widened his eyes as if his head had gotten shocked. Then he mumbled something and slumped over. He would have slid off the chair from being unable to hold himself up if Anastasia did not support him.“Dad? Dad!” Anastasia called out anxiously, but Cameron gave no response. He remained still and could not hear his daughter’s screams with his eyelids and head drooping.“Lily, what’s the matter with him?” Anastasia hurriedly looked toward Lily.Meanwhile, Alexander narrowed his eyes at the thin silver needle between her fingers. “If I’m no

“That silver needle…” Seeing Lily pulling the needle out from the back of her father’s head was too overwhelming for Anastasia, and she kept thinking about it.“It’s an acupuncture needle Rhea had inserted into a pressure point at the back of your father’s head. Rhea must’ve used it and the toxin to exert control over him. There are records of such an evil method in the ancient text.“Still, the practitioners only used the silver needle to pierce through the point before manipulating their targets. Those who were under control had no volition like a puppet.”Lily gave Anastasia a rough explanation and simultaneously became pensive. “However, the ancient text does not mention a case like your father’s as he seems to retain his volition and is not much different from a normal person. Perhaps the perpetrators added the drug and enhanced the method.”“So, can my father regain his old self?” Anastasia earnestly asked as it was what she cared about most.It did not matter if the cause w

Alexander l smiled casually. “Well, you said it’s hard to trace the toxin’s origins now that Rhea has died. Would it be a lot easier if she isn’t?”“Rhea isn’t dead?” Lily asked.“I’m just saying, what if.” He paused and then chose his words more carefully. “Her death seemed too sudden. It was almost as if she had died on purpose.”Lily agreed with him. “That’s right! I feel the same way about it. I’ve dealt with her several times, and she’s cool-headed and almost cold-blooded. Furthermore, she used to be a top student overseas and had received many awards, not to mention she must’ve done more experiments than I have. How could such a severe explosion happen so suddenly?“Even if it was truly an accident, I doubt she would have no time to escape, let alone get herself burned beyond recognition.” Lily had heard from the police that Rhea’s body was unrecognizable when the firefighters brought her out.Lily thought it was rather suspicious. ‘If it was not to purposely hide something,

However, Alexander showed no joy and looked a bit solemn.“I received news about him about half a month ago, but I didn’t tell you because you were busy,” Alexander explained casually. “He’s safe now and still alive.”“That’s great news!” Then, heaving a sigh of relief, she seemed to remember something and fished out her phone to make a call. “What are you doing?” Alexander asked while holding her hand. Lily moved her phone-holding hand away and said, “I’m calling Olivia to tell her the good news! Oh, did your men tell her?”‘I bet she’ll be thrilled to discover that Edward is still alive and safe!’Holding her hands with both hands, Alexander stopped her from making the call and said, “You don’t have to tell her. She knows about it.”It was at this moment that Lily sensed that he was acting strangely. He is not thrilled or excited to share the news with her, but rather unhappy. Why?’“Did something happen?” she asked hesitantly. When she asked the question, different scena
