Chapter 2161


    Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2161-Maria stiffened when she saw Anastasia, snapping, “What the hell


    are you doing here?!”


    “Aunt Maria,” Anastasia greeted and entered to look at the mess. After hearing about what had


    happened, she knew the house would be a mess. Still, it was worse than she had imagined.


    “Are you here tough in my face?” Maria asked asked after scoffing.


    “Why would I do that, Aunt Maria?” Anastasia ndly sighed, “I’m here to see how you’re doing. Don’t


    worry. Uncle Fabian isn’t involved in the more severe crimes. My father will see what he can do to help.”


    Her words made Maria realize something that made her attitude change. “Your father came back?” She


    realized she had misspoken and rephrased herself, “No, I mean, is your dad at home now?”


    “He’s not home now, but he has safely returned. Don’t worry,” Anastasia said meaningfully.


    Maria’s gaze wavered. “Of course, I’m not worried. Your father is a capable man, isn’t he? I’m more


    worried about your uncle. His parents passed away when he was a kid, and his sister, your mother,


    raised him.


    “I thought your father would care for Fabian, but he…” Maria wiped her tears, ying the victim, “Forget


    it. Let’s not discuss the past anymore. I’m worried about your uncle now. I tried visiting him, but the police


    refused, iming the case was still under investigation.


    “I don’t know what they’re talking about because Fabian hasn’tmitted any crimes!” Maria eximed.


    “The court will decide if Uncle Fabian hasmitted any crimes. Still, you should know why he got


    arrested, right?” Anastasia spoke kindly, then led Maria to the sofa to sit down.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Thetter was somewhat reluctant, but after seeing Anastasia’s gaze, Maria sat beside her. However,


    she still looked upset. “What do you mean by that, Tasia? Are you saying I told him to do something


    illegal?


    “The vine development center is a national project that’s good for the people. What crime has Fabian


    committed, and why couldn’t your father do something about it? After all, Fabian is your mom’s brother,


    right?”


    Maria would always mention Anastasia’s mother at times like these. She would also repeatedly stress


    that Fabian was the woman’s only brother.


    Anastasia nodded. “I know you wouldn’t do anything illegal, Aunt Maria. If you did, someone must’ve


    forced you.”


    “Yes, that’s right!” Nodding, Maria caught herself. She widened her eyes and eximed, “No! What the


    hell do you mean by that? I’ve never done anything illegal!”


    “There is no one else here, Aunt Maria.” Anastasia nced around. She had her men guarding outside,


    and the servants there had left long ago.


    “You know what Rhea has done, don’t you?” she whispered.


    Maria’s eye twitched as a look of guilt shed across her face. She averted her gaze and said, “Rhea…


    has been dead for a long time. Why’d you bring her up?”
