Chapter 1505
Maria did not expect Rhea to resent them so much. "Ree, I told you this before. Toward Anastasia, I’m
only..." "Only using her to get on her father's good side!" Rhea impatiently completed Maria's sentence.
"I’ve heard that way too many times. Could you be more creative? Also, where the f*ck is my pen
holder?" "I..." Maria wiped her tears, not wanting to waste her time explaining herself anymore. "I have
no idea." "You’re at home all day! How could you not know?" Rhea did not believe Maria's words. "Did
you come into my room and touch my things? Did you clean my room?"
Maria stayed silent, slightly guilty over this. Rhea had repeatedly told her mother not to enter her room,
but she was not home most of the time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaria thought that her things would get dusty if she just let them be, so she would use her spare key to
enter Rhea's room and clean it up from time to time.
However, she could swear she had not seen any pen holder. She did not touch any of Rhea’s things
and would not have the guts to throw them away.
"I haven't seen any pen holders, I swear! I didn't throw any of your things away too!" Maria took a deep
breath and said, this time calmer, "If the pen holder is so precious to you, tell me what it looks like. I'll
get the maids to look for it. If we can't find it, I'll have it custom-made for you, alright?” "You don't
understand anything!" Rhea threw Maria a sideways glance. A hint of contempt was evident in her
gaze. "You uncultured people know nothing at all!"
Just as Maria was about to retort, Rhea continued, "Who else came into my room recently? Who came
over to our house?" "Well..." That question stunned Maria for a moment. She replied after some
thought, "No one special! I didn't invite any of my friends to come over for tea. It’s just your father, the
maids, and no one..."
Maria paused, appearing to have remembered something. "Oh, right.
Anastasia came by once, but she didn't enter your room. She just sat in the living room and left without
even having a meal here." "Her?" Rhea frowned. "Why did she come here?" "Nothing much. Tasia said
she just wanted to visit me because I've been busy with her illness these days..." Before Maria finished
her words, she stopped abruptly and changed what she was about to say, afraid that Rhea would get
angry if she heard them. "Still, I didn't do all that for nothing.
"Your father should have settled his bidding matter. Our family will be in a much higher position in the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfuture, and we'll be a noble and wealthy family. We won’t have to listen to everything your uncle says
anymore."
Rhea did not care about any of that. She was only concerned with the fact that Anastasia came by.
'When did she come here? How long did she stay? How do you know she didn't enter my room? Were
you by her side the entire time?" "Uhh..." Maria wanted to explain at first but hesitated for some time. "I
wasn’t next to her the whole time, but there's no reason for her to take your pen holder. It's not like she
lacks anything. Plus, she’s not in school anymore. Why would she need a pen holder? It can't possibly
be her!" 1 "Did any other outsiders come by besides her?" "No," Maria said with certainty as she shook
her head.
"Got it." With that, Rhea headed out the door with hurried steps.
Seeing that Rhea walked past her without saying anything, Maria chased after her. "Ree? Ree! Where
are you going? Aren't you going to eat first? Ree, talk to me!"
