Chapter 1557
If Anastasia did not get poisoned, she would have been much happier. She would have been a
beautiful and confident young lady with many friends instead of having low self-esteem and staying
cooped up at home all the time.
All these years, she had suffered physically and mentally. Cameron was well aware of that. Although
he said nothing much about it, it hurt him to see how she was. However, Maria wanted to take credit for
looking high and low for the miracle doctor. It was ridiculous.
"Anastasia..." Maria knew what Cameron meant by that, and she finally understood that he would go by
what was right or wrong even though they were his relatives. Therefore, she thought of begging
Anastasia instead and wanted to hold the latter's leg.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnastasia moved away and stared at the teary-eyed Fabian and Maria before she looked at Cameron.
"Daddy..."
"I told you I'll handle this. You stay out of it!" Cameron raised one hand, signaling for Anastasia to stay
silent. He knew his daughter was soft-hearted and would give in to their request. Hence, he would be
the bad guy this time.
"Dad. Mom. Stop begging him." Rhea removed her hand from her cheek. She was calm, and there was
no sign of panic or fear on her face.
She looked up at Cameron before her and said, "Uncle..
Cameron, you're determined to put me behind bars, aren’t you?"
"Anyone who commits a crime should be punished in the court of law," Cameron justified.
"Okay. I agree with that," Rhea nodded and continued, "I admit I was the one who poisoned Anastasia,
but there are some other things I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Cameron frowned and looked at Rhea doubtfully.
"Some things... about the institute," Rhea said after some time.
Cameron was astounded, not expecting her to say that, and continued to ask, 'What’s with the
institute?"
"You have suspicions about our institute, don't you? You’re right. We're indeed hiding something, and I
know a little about it. Uncle Cameron, I’d like to tell you about the secrets in exchange for your
forgiveness. I hope I can atone for my mistakes by telling you these secrets."
The sudden change in her attitude stunned Cameron, Fabian, and Maria. Just a moment ago, she
refused to admit she was wrong no matter what. However, she wanted to use some sort of a secret to
make a deal with Cameron now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was probably calm earlier because she still had a trump card, right?
She was probably calm earlier because she still had a trump card, right?
Still, Fabian and Maria had no idea what secret she was talking about. When they locked eyes,
confusion was evident in each other's gazes.
"Atone your mistakes with that?" Cameron scoffed. "The secret must be a mind-blowing one, then!"
In other words, Cameron was saying the secret must have been one with utmost confidentiality for it to
make up for the harm she had caused Anastasia over the years.
"Uncle Cameron, you're the decision-maker here. It all depends on how worthy you think it is. I won't
have any objections to your decision!" Rhea raised one hand, showing she was sincere.
Cameron stared at her for a moment, seeming to be judging the weight of the truth in her words.
Anastasia, who was by his side, was stunned. "Daddy..."
