Chapter 1581
Rhea had worked willingly for the boss because he had what she wanted, but Mike was different.
'All for the sake of a brat? Is it worth it? I don't get it! What happened to Anastasia and me when we
were young was driven by self-interest. My parents ignored me and went to save their niece first for
personal gain. If I was down on my luck, I could have died!
'If I did, would they be sad? I think they would, but only for a while since they could get another child.
So you see, there's no such thing as parental love since it's all about self-interest.'
"You know nothing about love! You don't know what it's like to be loved. You monster!" Mike glared at
her. His words stung her deeply.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt first, Rhea looked as if she was indifferent and carefree, but her expression changed at his words.
She chuckled coldly and said, 'Yes, I’m a monster! I don’t know what love is or what it's like to be loved.
I only know these feelings are self-inflicting miseries brought upon human beings.
"A cat would abandon its kittens after a few months, and a bird would sometimes eat its eggs to survive
hunger. There have been cases of cannibalism even in human history. Why should we pretend to be
noble? Even if you know what love is, aren't you harming others for the sake of your son just the
same?
"How are you nobler than me? Is it because I only care about myself, and you care about yourself and
your son? What a joke!"
Toward the end of her sentence, Mike was stumped. He did not know how to respond to her accusation
of him harming others for his son's sake. It was something that kept bugging him. He felt guilty and
blamed himself for it, but he had no choice.
Now, Rhea had just exposed the truth that he was just as selfish as she was. She noticed he was in a
daze and abruptly broke free, hurrying out of the elevator. Just before the elevator closed, she turned
around and said," Everyone will only be equal when doomsday comes!"
Mike was stunned. He abruptly looked up and saw the elevator gradually close.
Rhea hurried along her path for a long while, then slowed to a stop to take a deep breath. She was
emotional because Mike's words had hurt her deeply, and she made an enormous effort to calm
herself. She wiped tears off the corners of her eyes.
"What a lunatic!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe stopped outside a room, took two deep breaths before she opened the door, and went in. Then
she turned around in the empty room to lock the door, neared a cubbyhole, unlocked its door, and
entered. Someone was lying on the headboard.
Curled into a ball, he lay shrimp-like and seemed in pain.
'Good, the drug is taking its effect, and I came at the right time.' She eagerly took out her notebook and
pen to record her observation and stared as the man writhed on the headboard in agony.
Rhea gave no response. She stood and coldly watched as if she was watching a documentary.
Just as she was writing fast, she suddenly thought about using her phone to record it to perform a more
detailed analysis later. The surveillance system here was not good, and she could not have just
watched the surveillance footage as before.
As she took out her phone and pressed the record button, she heard a roar and felt something lunging
toward her.
