Chapter 2164


    After all, Anastasia treated her aunt and uncle as family. She never med them when Rhea poisoned


    her because they did not know about it. Moreover, Maria had spent much time searching for a cure for


    Anastasia over the years.


    Of course, Maria had an ulterior motive, but Anastasia knew it was part of human nature to be selfish.


    Although wed, Maria and Fabian were still her family.


    However, Maria’s words had shattered Anastasia’s sentiments. Instead of admitting Rhea had done


    many horrible things, Maria med everything on Cameron and Anastasia.


    Anastasia was disappointed and had nothing more to say to her aunt. She got up and looked at Maria,


    saying, “I said what I needed to say. Take good care of yourself.”


    She motioned to leave, but Maria was stunned. Thetter did not expect her niece to walk away without


    showing remorse or unease.


    “You can’t go!” Maria hurried over and grabbed Anastasia’s arm, “Tasia, only you can save them now.


    What about your uncle? He hasn’t broken anyws, right?”

    Anastasia countered, “He’s in charge of the research center, and people were conducting illegal


    experiments there. How could you say he hasn’t broken anyws?”


    Even so, Anastasia had only heard about it from her father and did not know the details. Still, it was


    evident that Fabian was partly responsible for what happened.


    “What illegal experiments are you talking about? You’re not trying to frame your uncle, are you?” As


    Rhea never discussed her work and forbade her mother from asking questions, Maria knew little about


    it.


    After Rhea’s fake death and subsequent return, Maria feared losing her daughter again and did


    everything Rhea asked. Now that Maria had heard Anastasia’s words, she thought her niece was


    spouting nonsense.


    “Do you honestly think I have much influence?” Anastasia revealed a bitter smile. She knew her aunt


    would view whatever she said or did with suspicion.


    She gently pulled her arm off Maria’s grasp and said, “You know what you guys did. You and Rhea can


    choose to deny it, but we all know what happened.”


    After a pause, she added, “As for you helping Rhea hold my father captive, he says he’ll let it slide. But


    that’s all he can do.”


    Maria paled when she heard thatst part. She no longer dared to stop Anastasia from leaving and


    stared at the departing figure.
