Alarmed, Anastasia lunged over to grab his phone. “Stop meddling in my family’s affairs!”
“You can’t stop me! I’m in charge now that your father isn’t conscious.” Fabian tried to dodge, and the two grappled with each other.
“Tasia, let him make the call!” Alexander suddenly shouted, stopping the two.
Taken aback, they looked toward him. It baffled Anastasia, and she said, “B-But…”
“What do you mean?” Fabian raised his guard and looked at Alexander with a frown. Fabian distrusted Alexander, and what he said disconcerted him.
The project was most important to Fabian, and he had to ensure everything went as planned to rake in money when they launched the vaccine worldwide. With his assets multiplying several times by then, he would no longer need to be afraid of Cameron or worry about the future of his company.
Therefore, what he feared most was that the project would encounter issues. He also feared that once Cameron was around, Cameron could take him off the project, and there would be no one to back him up.
“Do you think I wouldn’t dare to make the call?” Fabian thought Alexander was trying to scare him and snorted. He made a show to dial the number. “I’m calling 911 for the ambulance to take Cameron away. Then I’ll find out what you guys have been up to!”
“Uncle Fabian!” Anastasia called out anxiously.
However, Alexander did not show the slightest intention to stop him. “Make that call. Take him away in an ambulance, and one hour later, the whole city will know that Secretary Rollins is seriously ill. Take a guess. What will happen next?”
Alexander gazed deeply at Fabian as he spoke meaningfully.
Fabian felt uneasy and muttered subconsciously, “W-What will happen?”
Fabian caught himself and wondered why he responded. However, Alexander’s presence overwhelmed Fabian, especially after meeting Alexander’s eyes.
“Although Secretary Rollins hasn’t been partial to you, you know you’ve benefited from your relationship with him over the years. I’m sure you also know many people look forward to his downfall. If anything were to happen to him at this juncture, do you think you can still keep your project?”
Alexander paused momentarily, then continued casually, “When that happens, do you think anyone will back you up? Won’t people make a fuss about how you landed the project?”
The series of questions made Fabian break out in cold sweat because he worried about the same thing. Despite himself, his phone-holding hand started to tremble.
