His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1570

"Okay, let's say he changed. What are you planning to do next? Are you going to cut him off?" Lily knew Anastasia was fuming with anger, so she played along.

"Yeah! Who cares! I'm not scared of him!" Anastasia retorted.

Lily instinctively laughed when she heard that. "It's not a question of whether or not you’re afraid. It's a question of your reluctance."

"I…of course, I am willing to! There's nothing to be reluctant about!"

"Silly girl! It's just a dispute. Besides, adults will always weigh the pros and cons before they act. Of course, I'm not dismissing your importance, but maybe your father had other things to reconsider. Maybe he isn't brushing you off. Maybe he's just pushing it aside for now," Lily said.

To be frank, she had no idea what was happening with Cameron. Even if she was not there and did not see anything, Anastasia's story sounded too strange. Still, things were more complex than they seemed.

Lily had met Cameron several times before. She could see the love he had for Anastasia. On top of that, Alexander also mentioned the type of person Cameron was. He would not strike a deal to benefit himself, let alone if it involved his favorite daughter.

Something fishy may have been going on, or maybe Cameron had other plans.

"What are the pros and cons? Am I just a trade-off? Isn't he just giving up on me?!" Anastasia did not understand all this. All she knew was that her father had chosen to give her up to learn some laboratory secrets.

"That's not the case. Your father has protected you well. There are many things you don't know! Things are sometimes different from what it seems. Whatever it is, you should calm down and think about how he has treated you all these years. Is he someone who only cares for his own interest? Think about it. You're the only one who knows the answer to that."

After that, Lily added, "Don't make rash decisions when you’re angry. Those are often the decisions you'll regret in the future."

Anastasia eventually calmed down after hearing this. She no longer felt as sad or as angry. Instead, she was just disappointed.
