She took a few steps forward, bent down slightly, and tugged at his arm. "Uncle Cameron?"
There was still no movement. The man's head was tilted to one side, exposing a section of his neck as he lay there motionless.
This reassured Rhea as she took out a small bottle from her pocket. Looking at the vial's content and back at the unconscious
Cameron, she squinted as if she had made up her mind. Then she quickly took out a mask and syringe from her pocket.
Once she put on the mask, she used the syringe to draw out the bottle's content and stabbed the needle at the back of his neck.
The three of them waited in the living room impatiently.
Fabian had no idea if Rhea's method would work or if she had managed to convince Cameron. Maria was worried about her
daughter, and Anastasia was worried that her father would give in.

On the other hand, she was also curious about the secret.
After an hour, the two of them still hadn't left the room.
Finally, Maria couldn't sit still anymore and stood up. "It's been so long. Letgo have a look."
"What are you going to do there? Such a long tmeans that the matter must be very serious. You might stir up trouble if you
barge in now! The reason we becwhat we are today is all because of how nosy you are! You care about things you shouldn't
care about!" He held her back and complained.
Maria was displeased when she heard what he said and cried, "What do you mean | care about things | shouldn't care about? You
spend most of your days outside, drinking with those cronies all night. Tell me, is there anything you care about? Do you care about
this family? Now, you're pointing your finger at me!
“Look at you! Now that your business is falling apart, where are those friends of yours? Are they here to help you?"
"Okay, okay! Enough! | might as well be talking to a brick wall instead of you.” He waved impatiently.
"Is talking to you any better? All you do is pick fights with our daughter, creating tension in the family. Now she doesn't even tell us
anything!" The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Maria was upset by all of this.
She had given so much for this family, yet she had to watch as everything fell apart.
She wiped her eyes and turned her head to look at Anastasia, who was sitting with her legs crossed. Maria couldn't help but say,
"Tasia, you know how we've treated you since you were a child. Oh, forget your uncle. What about me?

“Haven't | been treating you like my own daughter? So much so that Ree did that because she was jealous of you. Yes, what she
did was wrong, but she still cares for you. She didn't kill you, did she? Can you just forgive her for your aunt's sake?"
"Aunt Maria, are you saying | must thank my cousin for not killing me?" Anastasia let out a sarcastic laugh. It was ridiculous.
Although she was grateful for Maria's care for her, her father had also helped them throughout the years. However, they were too
greedy and always wanted more. As for Rhea, could it be that it was out of kindness that she didn't kill her?
‘What a joke!”
Just as Maria was about to speak again, she heard footsteps coming from inside. Then she immediately felt her spirits lift as she
walked toward the room, eager to know what had happened.
Anastasia also couldn't help but stand up as she watched the two people walk out of the room, one after the other.
