    Maria felt even more pleased when Rhea obliged her.


    "Look! I got the maids to make goat cheese sd, stuffed tomatoes, and roasted fish with wild


    mushrooms.You loved them the most when you were little."


    Rhea’s expression changed when her mother mentioned her childhood.


    Maria noticed it and quickly said, "I wonder if they’re still your favorites.If you don’t want to eat them, tell


    me what you would like to eat, and I''ll get them to prepare it!"

    "There’s no need.Food is just there to make us full."


    Rhea sat at the table, picked up the spoon and fork, and looked disinterested.


    Maria’s spirit dampened.She was slightly embarrassed and nced at her husband.


    Fabian only frowned back.


    ‘Why did you bring up her childhood? You knew Rhea hated it the most!’ When the couple returned


    from the Rollins’ house the other day, they talked all night as they had no idea that Rhea hated her


    childhood that much.


    They always thought she was only jealous of Anastasia back then, and it was not a big deal.


    ‘She didn’t know we did everything just for her.


    If we didn’t try to please Anastasia, how were we supposed to curry favors with Cameron? If we didn’t


    suck up to Cameron, how could we have good resources to do business? How could we afford to give


    Ree a good and luxurious life?’ However, Rhea resented what happened during her childhood.


    For example, when there was only a piece of chocte cake, they would give it to Anastasia instead of


    her.


    Whenever they quarreled, they would always scold her instead of their niece.


    There were also incidents involving dresses, shoes, bags, and dolls that Maria could not remember.


    ‘We always thought these were trivial, but Ree remembered them.She resented them so much that she


    used me to deliver herbs with different medicinal properties to the house.She wanted Tasia’s body to


    slowly absorb these herbs so they would sh within her and cause chronic poisoning."


    When they talked about it, Maria shuddered, thinking she was lucky not to have been poisoned as she


    frequented the house.


    They were also surprised that Rhea could secretly poison someone by using nts.


    They knew Rhea studied medicine and did research.


    They thought it would be good if Rhea could return and be a doctor but did not expect her to be


    an expert on poisons.


    The couple exchanged looks a few times.


    Rhea pretended she did not see it and casually ate her meal.


    Ultimately, it was Fabian who spoke.


    "Ree, I heard yourb has moved but has yet to find somewhere permanent.Why don’t you stop


    going?"


    "Huh?"


    Rhea stopped moving her fork and raised her brow at him.


    "Look Yourb is dangerous, and someone has gone missing.Didn’t a professor die before this too?


    Your mom and I feel it doesn’t bode well, and you should stop going there.ording to your uncle, the


    vine project will reopen for tender, and he will give the contract to me.I’ll surely be busy then, and


    you can help _Y He was beaming with joy as if he was about to be super rich soon.However, Rhea


    spat out a fish bone and interrupted him coldly, "Have you forgotten how you came by the project?"


    Fabian was stumped.


    "If I didn’t offer theb’s secret, do you think Cameron would promise to give you the contract? Why


    else would he take so much effort to find excuses to void the tender event’s result? Me leaving the


    lab?"


    She curled her lips and chuckled.


    "Are you sure you want me to leave? Can you bear the consequences?"
