His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1552

“No way! Anastasia is suffering from chronic poisoning, which has been going on for many years! Ree was just a kid back then, so what would she know about poisons? Also, Ree and Tasia did not get along well since they were young and rarely hung out.

“Why would she poison Anastasia? Don’t scare me! That is a serious crime!” Maria’s expression changed.

‘What did he say? Ree poisoned his daughter? Oh please! I understand Ree well. Although she has a weird temper and doesn’t have a close relationship with me, she’s still a kind and smart lady. How could Cameron just frame her for such a thing for no reason? I’ll never believe it!’

“My mom’s right. Uncle Cameron, are you mistaken about something? Or did you listen to someone’s slander?” Rhea nodded and asked seriously.

Rhea sat properly with a calm smile hanging on her pretty face. She looked like an obedient student that everyone would want. No matter how one looked at it, she did not look like the vicious person Cameron said she was.

“Who told you I poisoned Anastasia?” Rhea asked again.

“That’s right. Who said that?” Upon hearing Rhea’s words, Maria believed someone was trying to ruin their relationship. “Cameron, you shouldn’t let others provoke you. We’re family!”

“Let me guess. Was it Lily?” Rhea glanced at Anastasia and smiled. “I know Anastasia has been hanging out with her a lot lately, and she trusts that woman too, but… there’s some bad blood between us.

“After all, we worked in the same institute, but she left when we had a conflict with the research. I stayed, and she hates me for it. I know that.”

“Oh! It turns out that the two of you had history!” Maria came to a realization and held her daughter’s hand in distress. “Silly girl. Why didn’t you tell me about all that and allow others to slander you behind your back? I can’t bear to see this happening to you!”

“Did I say who it was? You’re just speculating here,” Cameron said coldly. The hatred in his gaze was even more evident now. “You know very well what you did! If it wasn’t because Anastasia regarded you as her family, do you think you can sit here right now?”

Rhea was unwilling to back down and straightened up. “Uncle Cameron, that was so harsh of you. If you have proof, call the cops. The cops will know what to do! After all, the cops will obey whatever you say, and you’ll quickly be done with the process.

“If you don’t have proof, I’ll get angry when you say those things about me even though I’m from the younger generation!”

Great play of words by Rhea, indeed. Fabian was about to explode. “Ree is right! Cameron, you can’t do this! It’s fine if you don’t grant the project to me or look down on me, but Ree did nothing wrong! You can’t slander her this way!”

“Exactly! Anastasia stayed for a long time at our house when she was younger, and you can ask her how well I’ve treated her! I don’t even treat Ree this way. Now, you’re framing a young girl for something she has never done just because of what you heard from others. If your wife were still here, she wouldn’t like this either!”

As Maria spoke, she started to wail and looked at Anastasia. “Anastasia, tell us. Do you think Ree is that kind of person? Won’t you feel guilty for slandering your cousin? Think carefully about this!”

“Aunt Maria, I convinced daddy not to put Rhea behind bars because I still think of her as family. Also, it’s because of Uncle Fabian and you, who have taken care of me in the past. However, Ree is unwilling to admit to what she did until now.” Anastasia sighed sadly.

“Anastasia, you…”
