His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2047

"Take her away!" Alexander commanded.

Rhea widened her eyes and struggled desperately. However, Edward had taped her mouth shut and restrained her. Ultimately, she could not speak and could only futilely struggle and wriggle.

They were about to leave the garage when someone suddenly appeared from outside with a knife and charged toward Edward. But the person’s actions and speed were child’s play for Edward.

He leaned to one side to avoid the attack and followed up with a kick, resulting in a loud, painful cry.

"Mrs. Moore?!" Edward immediately recognized the woman upon closer inspection.

Alexander also looked closely and realized it was indeed Maria.

The kitchen knife had fallen to the side as Edward had knocked her down.

Maria furrowed her brows and held her chest, exclaiming, “You… Let go of Rhee!”

“Mrs. Moore, it seems you knew your daughter wasn’t dead all along.” Alexander looked at Maria, his voice cold and indifferent.

Maria immediately fell silent. She had kept this secret, not even telling her husband. However, the secret was exposed. Even if she did not admit it, it would be pointless now that Rhea was in front of her.

“Yes, I knew about it long ago. So what?! It’s none of your business!” Maria retorted defiantly, her neck stiff. "Release my daughter now, or I'll call for help!"

Alexander smiled indifferently. "Go ahead, let everyone know your daughter faked her death. Then the police can see for themselves if it's really her!"

Those few words choked back Maria’s cries. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word. She was stunned.
