His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1556

In comparison, Cameron was much calmer. Raising a brow, he asked, “You’re finally admitting to it?”

“No! No, she was just blabbering nonsense. Cameron, don’t take her words seriously!” In a panic, Maria cried as she pulled on Rhea’s arm, explaining further, “You know how stubborn Ree can be. She’s just mad at her dad! How could she have poisoned Anastasia? There must be some misunderstanding here…”

That was what Maria said, but truth be told, she was losing confidence. ‘Could it be those herbal plants? Is that why Anastasia moved all of them away and said she gifted them to someone else? It seems that she had been wary of us since then.”

With that thought in mind, she looked at Anastasia. “Tasia, who told you that you were poisoned by the herbal plants? Was it Lily?”

Maria assumed so, as Anastasia had been in frequent contact with Lily only recently. “I’ve told you that she’s not a good influence on you. How could you listen to the things she said? It might not have been the herbal plants that affected you. If she’s right, why were you the only one poisoned? Look at your dad. He’s fine, isn’t he?”

“My dad isn’t home most of the time. I’m sure you’re well aware of that, Aunt Maria,” Anastasia responded lightly.

“What about the servants in your house…”

Before Maria finished her words, Anastasia interjected, as if she knew what Maria was about to say. “The servants don’t work here for a long time either, with five years being the longest duration of their service. Plus, I was young back then, and I’m naturally weaker than the adults.

“That’s why I was more sensitive to the toxins. Rhea most likely did her research and planned for the types of herbal plants to be sent to me on a regular basis to induce the effects she desired."

With that, she looked at Rhea, her voice still soft. “I’m sure you’ve put a lot of effort into this because of me, Rhea.”
