His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1578

Fabian kept his mouth shut.

He could not afford to bear such consequences. ‘If I were to lose to the project, I might as well die!’

“Ree, that’s not what your dad meant. We’re just worried about your safety,” Maria said despite being concerned.

Rhea smiled coldly. “Safety? When I was four, Anastasia and I fell into the pond, and you guys saved her first. Did you ever care about my safety?”

“You…” Maria was shocked that Rhea remembered what had happened when she was only four. “We didn’t save her first on purpose. Tasia was closer to the bank, so we reached her first. We also saved you. You-”

“Enough. I wasn’t complaining. I’m alive and well, aren’t I?” Rhea shrugged and said calmly. She put down her spoon and fork. “I’m full.”

Maria was stunned.

Rhea got up and walked to the foyer to change her shoes again. She lowered her head as she wore her high heels, then thought about something and looked up. “Oh, yes, I made a deal with Cameron simply because it suited my needs.

“I didn’t do it for you guys, so you don’t have to be too grateful and take it to heart. Most importantly, don’t think that I’m doing this because I care for you, Mom!”

Maria was at a loss for words. Staring after her as she left the door, Maria could not help but call her name.

Giving no reply, Rhea left without even throwing her mother a glance. They soon heard the sound of a car starting and driving swiftly away.

“Hmph!” Fabian angrily smacked his spoon and fork against the table.
