His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1563

“Tasia?” Maria frowned, a little unhappy.

She was delighted when she saw that Rhea had resolved the matter, but Anastasia seemed unwilling to give up.

“Dad!” Anastasia stomped to Cameron angrily, staring into his eyes to try and see what he was thinking. “What did Rhea tell you? Why did you change your mind? Didn’t you say you would stand up for me? How can you just let her go like this?!”

“Tasia…” Maria was distraught. “Your father has already made up his mind. Do you honestly want to send your cousin to jail? Would you be satisfied if your uncle and I spent the rest of our days visiting her in prison?

“Can’t you forgive her for your late mother’s sake, even if it's not for ours? You two are cousins. Can’t you be a bit more forgiving?” She was starting to dislike Anastasia.

Although her attempt to help Anastasia was to curry favors with Cameron, Maria still had a fondness for Anastasia. Maria had done so much for Anastasia, yet, Anastasia was never grateful for it. Now, Anastasia was even trying to send Rhea to prison. Maria felt that she had raised an ingrate.

The old sayings were true. Other people’s children would not match one’s own.

Anastasia did not even spare her aunt a glance. She was only concerned about why her father was acting this way. “Dad, I don’t care about what other people think. I want to hear from you. What do you think I should do?” At this point, Anastasia was about to cry.

She did not care if anything happened to Rhea or not, nor if Rhea were to go to jail or die. All she cared about was her father.

He always used to protect her. She was his priority, and he would always stand up for her. However, he would throw her under the bus over some so-called laboratory secret.

Anastasia felt like she was just a transaction, that she was something he sold for information.
