"Bullshit! I…"
The phone kept ringing. Fabian gritted his teeth bitterly. Although he knew Elijah was prodding, this was no small matter. Even if Fabian had doubts, he did not think Rhea could do such a thing.
In the end, he picked up the phone and put it on speaker before preemptively saying, "Ree, are you still experimenting? No matter how busy you are, remember to take care of yourself. By the way, the Fike family is here to see you. They have something to ask…"
Initially, he wanted to hint to Rhea that other people were around so that she would watch her words. However, a strange voice interrupted him before he even finished speaking. "Mr. Moore! It's me! Something happened to Ms. Moore!"
Fabian was so taken aback that he froze for a while before glancing at Elijah blankly. Only then did he realize that the voice came from the phone.
He glanced at his phone and asked, "What did you say?"
"Something happened to Ms. Moore! There was an explosion in the factory, and the aftermath was terrible. Ms. Moore… didn't make it out in time. I called Mrs. Moore, but she didn't believe me…"
The caller was a little flustered, and his background sounded chaotic. There were sirens of firetrucks and police cars with voices overlapping each other.
Fabian suddenly felt his body turn numb as if someone had poured ice water all over his body.
Maria suddenly rushed over and howled into the phone, "Liar! You're lying! You sent you?! Who told you to curse Rhea like this? Tell me! Tell me now…"
"Mrs. Moore, it's me. I…" The other side sounded like he had been wronged. "Mr. Moore, come over and have a look. The police are already here…"
