His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1549

Just like that, Rhea was shut down.

Fabian and Maria did not know about this, so they looked at her questioningly. "Ree? Is it true? What's the matter? Why didn't you say anything?"

"It's nothing serious. I didn't expect you to know, Uncle Cameron. I've taken care of it," Rhea responded lightly after she came back to her senses.

"Nothing serious?" The corners of Cameron's lips hooked up. "Everyone from the police station has gone there. I heard that they'd searched the institute inside and out. Is it trivial for a grown man to disappear in your research institute?"

Hearing this, Maria's face turned pale with fright. "What?! Is that true, Ree?! Do people go missing there?! Oh gosh, that's terrifying! You should resign and stop working there. If something happens to you one day, your father and I won't know what to do!"

Rhea did not bother comforting her mother. Instead, she looked at Cameron and continued, "Those are just rumors. I thought you were always a clear-headed person, Uncle Cameron. I didn't expect you to buy into that gossip."

"You're right. Rumors do spread very fast. However, seeing that you work there, you should know best about what is happening."

The two were trying to get an answer from each other while Fabian and Maria listened but had no idea what was happening. They were both stunned by what they heard.

They didn't understand what was going on. It sounded like Cameron had an interest in the research institute that Rhea was working in.

"Ree…" Maria was just about to speak, but Rhea did not give her a chance. "Of course I do, but it seems you know more than I do. Is the research we're doing under your supervision?"
