His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1627

“No idea!” Rhea grew impatient. “Why do you care about him so much?”

Her tone was unfriendly. Stumped, Maria paused for a moment. “I-I was just wondering.”

‘I dealt with Austin several times, didn’t I? To beg him, I had to travel here and there, and he ended up being a fake miracle doctor. What about my gifts and medical fees? If he’s fake, I should get them all back, shouldn’t I?

‘However, it’s too late now since he’s gone missing. From what I heard, he might even be dead now.’

“I just think that if he were found, I could at least get him to refund me. The money was so ill-spent!” Worried that she would upset her daughter, she spoke in a murmur, then quickly added, “Anyway, perhaps one of his victims found out that he was a fake and kidnapped him out of spite.”

Not paying attention, Rhea cocked her head with a frown as her mother tugged at her sleeve. “Hmm, it’s possible.”

Maria was delighted by her patronizing remark and became convinced that her speculation was correct. “But you’re right. Why should we care about him? A wonderful future lies in store for our family. Oh, yes, Ree, what was the secret that you told your uncle? Can you tell me about it?”

Driven by curiosity, she had wanted to know for days.

Although she knew her daughter might be upset, she was intrigued. Maria and her husband had spent their lives currying favor with Cameron, but he had never treated them well. Yet, since Ree left the house, the man had done what she told him to do.

‘If we knew, we could have asked her to do it in the first place and spare ourselves a lot of trouble.’
