His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1400

"What's wrong with the Russell family? What do you mean by bad luck?" Anastasia immediately became nervous when she heard this.

She regarded Lily as her best friend. Thus, she did not want anything to happen to the Russell family. It was possible that her aunt was being an alarmist, but as long as that possibility remained, she could not just dismiss it.

"You shouldn't be asking!" Maria was afraid that she might slip up.

"Aunt Maria, tell me about it! You can't bring it up and not explain!" Anastasia pestered.

Ultimately, Maria said, "This is no secret. Something is going on with the Russell family's business. There was a collective poisoning incident in one of their factories in Burnwken. Although it wasn't serious at first, Alexander had flown over to investigate. I heard it was chaotic there, with an ongoing war, and there seemed to be a plague.

“Look at it this way. If something happened to Alexander, wouldn't the Russell family be in a mess? By that time, people believed the Russell family was cursed. I'm not trying to be calculative, but I'm just worried that Lily has ulterior motives for approaching you at this time. You should be careful and not let other people take advantage of you, okay?"

However, Anastasia had stopped listening.

After hearing the first part, she realized that she had not seen Alexander around recently, nor did Lily mention anything about him. Even Galen rarely brought Alexander up. It seemed that he had really gone abroad and had yet to return.

It was no wonder that Lily had seemed busy these past few days. Anastasia believed she was overanalyzing things, but she was unaware that Lily was still supporting her even as this was happening in her own family. Yet, Anastasia even dared to doubt her.

Thinking of this, Anastasia was immediately washed with guilt. Then she stood up and ordered, "Someone get the car. I'm going out!"
