Everyone stood frozen in place. Anastasia pushed herself up embarrassedly and turned to look at her father with teary eyes, only to see his indifferent appearance. Cameron did not even say a word. Ultimately, Anastasi bit her lip resentfully and ran out.
Maria’s heart could not help but ache when she saw this. “Ron…”
“Ignore her.” With that, Cameron turned and walked into the room. It seemed like he did not even care about Anastasia.
Maria was perplexed by this.
Although she was happy with the outcome, which had exceeded her expectations, the change was too sudden. She could not figure out what was happening. Even if Cameron had changed his mind, he would not treat Anastasia so coldly.
However, Maria dared not question it, fearing he might change his mind if she did. It was better to leave it as it was.
With that, the Moore family got into their car. As soon as they got inside, Maria could not help but ask, “Ree, what did you say to your uncle? It seems like he has turned into a different person.”
Rhea dug out a plastic bag from the back of the car before throwing in the mask and gloves she had in her pocket. After discarding the plastic bag, she casually said, “It’s just something to do with the lab.”
“What about it?” Fabian was also curious. After all, he could never convince Cameron for so many years, yet his daughter changed him entirely after just a few words. This was a new side of Cameron that Fabian had never seen before.
Cameron had always been stern and rigid, but he seemed much nicer around Rhea. If Fabian had known it was this easy, he would have let her speak for him earlier.
“If I say I can’t tell you, will you slap me again?” She taunted, pointing to her swollen cheek.
