Chapter 2047


    Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2047-“Take her away!” Alexandermanded.


    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 y 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, eximing, “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.


    Rhea was confirmed dead, and Maria even arranged the funeral. If the truth came out now and others


    learned about it, it would expose that Rhea had faked her death.


    Then Maria considered the lives her daughter had taken and the incident with the Fike family. A chill


    ran down Maria’s spine immediately after.


    “Release her, I beg you. I’ll do anything you ask! I’ll give you all my family’s money! Y-You wanted the


    business, right? I know you. You’re La Beaute Group’s president. I’ll give you the vine business, all


    of it.


    “Please, I’m begging you to return my daughter to me!” She cried and pleaded with tears and snot


    streaming down her face.


    Alexander looked at Maria’s desperate appearance and listened to her words. He knew she did not


    know anything.


    ‘She thinks we’re after her money and business. How naive.’

    “Do you even know what the vine business is about?” Alexander asked coldly, sneering.


    His question stunned the crying Maria. She blinked and pondered before saying, “Isn’t it for the


    pandemic? It’s over now, and the vine isn’t making much money. I’ve said before that this business


    shouldn’t continue, but you…”


    “Hmph…” Alexander shook his head and walked forward.


    Maria noticed Edward about to take her daughter away and suddenly rushed forward. She opened her


    mouth to bite Edward’s arm, but thetter raised his hand. He bumped his elbow into her and swiftly


    struck her down with his hand.


    Maria’s eyes rolled back, and she copsed to the ground.


    Alexander heard themotion and turned to nce at the situation.


    Edward immediately said, “She’s just unconscious. It saves us some trouble.”
