Chapter 1563


    “Tasia?” Maria frowned, a little unhappy.


    She was delighted when she saw that Rhea had resolved the matter, but Anastasia seemed unwilling


    to give up.


    “Dad!” Anastasia stomped to Cameron angrily, staring into his eyes to try and see what he was


    thinking. “What did Rhea tell you? Why did you change your mind? Didn’t you say you would stand up


    for me? How can you just let her go like this?!”


    “Tasia…” Maria was distraught. “Your father has already made up his mind. Do you honestly want to


    send your cousin to jail? Would you be satisfied if your uncle and I spent the rest of our days visiting


    her in prison?


    “Can’t you forgive her for yourte mother’s sake, even if it''s not for ours? You two are cousins. Can’t


    you be a bit more forgiving?” She was starting to dislike Anastasia.


    Although her attempt to help Anastasia was to curry favors with Cameron, Maria still had a fondness for


    Anastasia. Maria had done so much for Anastasia, yet, Anastasia was never grateful for it. Now,


    Anastasia was even trying to send Rhea to prison. Maria felt that she had raised an ingrate.


    The old sayings were true. Other people’s children would not match one’s own.


    Anastasia did not even spare her aunt a nce. She was only concerned about why her father was


    acting this way. “Dad, I don’t care about what other people think. I want to hear from you. What do you


    think I should do?” At this point, Anastasia was about to cry.


    She did not care if anything happened to Rhea or not, nor if Rhea were to go to jail or die. All she cared


    about was her father.


    He always used to protect her. She was his priority, and he would always stand up for her. However, he


    would throw her under the bus over some so-calledboratory secret.


    Anastasia felt like she was just a transaction, that she was something he sold for information.


    “Tasia,” Cameron called out lightly as he touched her head to coax her, just like he did when she was


    younger. “That’s enough.”


    Anastasia took a few steps back and looked at him with shock and disappointment that she could not


    conceal. “That’s enough?” She repeated tremblingly.


    Cameron dropped his hand to his side and sighed. “It wasn’t easy for your uncle and aunt to raise you.


    You should learn how to be grateful.”


    “Grateful?!”


    Maria, on the sidelines, was also surprised to hear this. She did not expect him to say such a thing.


    It was already a blessing to her that Cameron did not pursue this matter. Now, he even said that


    Anastasia should be grateful to them. Maria was ecstatic. She quickly waved around and said, “It’s fine.


    We’re all a family, after all. There’s no need for her to be so courteous.”


    “Dad, are you being serious? Are we letting this slide?” Anastasia asked again reluctantly.


    This time, Maria did not stop her. She turned to look at Cameron, alongside everyone else.


    Cameron’s gaze shifted to Rhea before looking back at Anastasia. “As I said, we’re all a family…”

    Before he could finish, Anastasia turned around and ran out the door. Her sudden movement caused


    her to trip at the door, and she fell to the ground.


    Her big size caused a loud thump, and Maria subconsciously yelped and quickly wanted to step


    forward to help her. However, her eyes darted toward Cameron, only to see that he was just standing


    there, unmoved.
