Semua Bab Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Bab 1771 - Bab 1780

Lily could not leave for the time being. More accurately, even if she went over, she could not do much. She had analyzed the blood on the needle but needed more time to further investigate certain substances. Only when she knew what they were could she devise a counteracting medicine to cure Cameron. Although she had done it fast enough under the circumstances, Anastasia could hardly wait. Cameron was in a position of authority where many people wanted to speak with him daily. It was difficult for a young woman like Anastasia to deal with their requests to see him.It was okay to claim he had been sick for two days, but people would get suspicious if he remained that way. “Not yet.” Lily pondered for a moment. While conducting an analysis, she examined the liquid inside a test tube.“Then, how much longer do we have to wait?” Anastasia was anxious. “It’s not that I want to rush you, but it’s truly…”Holding her phone tight, Lily said solemnly, “Tasia, I know you’re in a tigh

The glass made a crisp, shattering sound as it smashed onto the floor. The servants immediately rushed in from outside. “Miss Rollins?”Anastasia waved them off, then casually looked at Fabian as she said, “What are you doing, Uncle Fabian?”Her tone was calm, but she had dropped her smile, and her cold expression looked dignified.Slightly drunk, Fabian continued to yell, “What am I doing?! It’s your cousin’s funeral today, yet neither you nor your dad bothered to ask about it. Also, your father hasn’t answered my calls for the last few days. What is that supposed to mean?!”“My father hasn’t been feeling well and needs to rest. If there’s anything you would like to ask him, please wait until he gets better.” After a pause, she said meaningfully, “However, I don’t know how he’ll feel if you ask him with your current tone. After all, he hasn’t been feeling well, and you know we all tend to be in a bad mood when we’re sick.” Fabia’s shock was evident since he was still scared of C

Fabian followed his niece’s gaze and glanced behind him before casually turning his head back and curling his lip. “Why? Can’t I see him?”“Well, it’s not that you can’t. However, you’ve brought many men over. Are you here to see my father or to threaten him? I would understand your intention because you’re my uncle, but it’s hard to tell what my father would think.” Anastasia looked so indifferent and calm that Fabian was unsure what to make of her.He gave it some thought and looked upstairs. Then he moved closer and lowered his voice, saying, “Tell me honestly. Is your father truly home?”“Please! Everyone knows my father has taken a few days off. Since he’s not at work, he’s at home. Where else could he be?” Anastasia scoffed and spoke naturally.Pensive, he looked up again. He coughed hard and turned to his men. “Go outside and wait for me.”After receiving the order, Fabian’s men left together, and the house became quiet.Anastasia felt relieved when the men left. However,

Fabian questioned Anastasia, who nodded and pursed her lips. “Yes!” Without waiting for his reply, she said, “There’s no doubt that my father has been poisoned. Besides… don’t you know about it?”She asked probingly, but Fabian shouted, “How would I know?! I didn’t poison him, did I?!”He looked upset but did not avert his gaze, and this got Anastasia thinking. ‘Rhea was able to slowly poison me behind her parents’ backs at a young age, so I guess they wouldn’t know about what happened to dad either.’In the last few days, the young woman had been blaming herself. ‘Why didn’t I pay more attention to dad? How could I let dad become her victim when I know how vicious and unreliable Rhea was? ‘I know it’s useless to feel bad about it now as I can’t turn back time, and Rhea can’t come back to life. I only wish that Lily would come up with the cure and dad could recover sooner.’ Thinking so, she looked toward Fabian and took a deep breath. “Don’t be mad, okay? I was only asking. I

Anastasia sighed lightly. “Maybe it’s because I’ve grown up.”“Grown up?” Fabian was momentarily confused.“Yes. I used to lead a carefree life under Aunt Maria’s, yours, and my father’s care. Now that my father is like this and with so many things happening at home, I must become more mature than I used to be.” She looked sincerely at Fabian.“Uncle Fabian, I know you and Aunt Maria are sad by Rhea’s sudden passing, but you mustn’t give up. You still have to take care of your business, and there are many things you need to handle.“Aunt Maria needs you to look after her as well. We must both be strong for our family’s sake!” She let out a long sigh, her eyes filled with resignation.Anastasia’s words touched Fabian, and he nodded. “You’re right. We can’t give up, and we must be strong! Tasia, you’ve done well. We shouldn’t let others know about what has happened to your father. Rest assured. I’ll help you keep it a secret.”“Thank you, Uncle Fabian.” Anastasia glanced over her s
