His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1468

“So, in your eyes, your cousin is just another lab rat?" Austin questioned.

However, Rhea was quick to retaliate. "It's an honor for her to be my lab rat! If it weren't for her father, she would be nothing compared to me!"

Although her words were disdainful, Austin picked up a trace of…jealousy?

It seemed like Rhea was highly jealous of her cousin. She was envious and full of resentment. Her tone differed from her usual ridicule and lightness. She was almost speaking through gritted teeth.

‘She hates Anastasia!’

"Are you jealous of your cousin?" Austin asked as an idea popped into his head.

"Jealous?!" Rhea’s tone went an octave higher. She stomped back into the basement and bent down to reach for his collar. "I am smarter than her, more beautiful than her, have a better figure than her, and am more capable than her.

“I'm better than her in every aspect, and I'm a hundred times better at that! Why would I be jealous of her?! Have you lost your mind?!"

"It's because…" Austin dragged on. The madness in Rhea’s reaction confirmed his assumption. "It's because she comes from a better family, no?"

He remembered that Anastasia's father was a Secretary, but he had also been to Rhea's house. It seemed cozy. He had no idea why Rhea would be jealous of Anastasia. However, Rhea would not have reacted this way if she wasn't jealous. Also, she would not have poisoned her cousin for more than ten years.

"Hah!" Rhea sneered and let Austin go. Then she coldly said, "Her mother died when she was a child, and her father is always busy with work. Tasia was at my house almost every day when she was younger. How can she come from a better family?
