His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1858

Rhea hesitated about whether or not to answer. ‘That has nothing to do with me.’

“Liar! You’re all liars!” The man was agitated. “Even you care about someone. How could Lily not care about anything? No, I’m sure she would f*cking regret it!”

Although the man often lost his temper and had mood swings, he never behaved like this. He was infuriated, and Rhea could sense his anger from his expression and voice and something deep within him.

The man had always thought he was powerful. Despite his body, he relied on his intelligence and cunning ways to climb to his current position and had people in the palm of his hand.

However, what Lily said exposed the reality that he was nothing without the person he worked for. It stung him deeply and forced him to face the truth.

‘No, that’s not true! When I succeed, I will become the king of the world, and no one will dare to look down on me ever again!’

He did not notice Rhea’s disturbed reaction as he breathed heavily with his hands on the desk. His remark that even she cared about someone stung her, and she clenched her hands into fists.

She had to admit that she indeed cared about someone deep down. Despite Rhea’s denial, she somehow felt touched by her mother grieving and wanting to die with her when she faked her death.

Rhea always thought her mother was partial to Anastasia and cared more about that girl than her. Although Maria sometimes said she only did so to curry Cameron’s favor, Rhea was still upset.

As Cameron had never used his position to help Rhea’s family, she could not understand what was so great about him or why her parents made such efforts to please him and gave all the best things to Anastasia.

It made Rhea believe she was a nobody to her parents compared to Anastasia. She resented Anastasia leading a happy life like a princess simply because her father held a high post in the government while she remained unnoticed, like Cinderella.

Rhea did not want to be Cinderella and hated her. She did not want some prince to save her and wanted to be her own savior.

‘To hell with the princess and her glass slipper! I want to be a queen!’

When Rhea met the man before her, he guided and initiated her into the organization. After many years had passed, she thought she had been so hardened that nothing would move her. However, Rhea suddenly felt her deeply buried emotions stirred when she saw her mother mourning and attempting to protect her.

As her emotional defenses crumbled, she could not help but feel terrible. She had always yearned for her mother’s love, but it seemed too late.

After taking a few breaths, she calmed herself and said inwardly, ‘No, I don’t f*cking care about anyone! If Lily doesn’t care about anyone, why should I?’

Rhea knew what she was trying to do would change the world, so she decided not to get bogged down by trivial sentiments.
