Chapter 1626
Seeing this, Lily had nothing to say and could only follow closely behind.
Fabian has been doing very well lately. The new tender event was just for show, and the project was
handed directly over to him.
Those who alienated or harassed him for debt repayments or terminated cooperation with him had
changed their attitude and come to curry favor with him. However, he put on airs instead.
Standing before the vast expanse of the premise, he talked nonstop on the phone. "Hey, it’s not that I
don’t want to help you, but I’m simply too busy. You know I’m engaged with a huge project and have no
time!
"Yeah, I don’t mean to look down on you... However, Mr. Will, you said differently when you asked me
for money. Am I not trying to make money to pay you back? I know the economy is bad, and it's not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteasy for everyone, isn't it? Come on, that's not what I meant..."
Putting on a mocking tone on purpose, he enjoyed hearing Mr. Will beg him because the man had been
arrogant.
With one hand on the hip, Fabian acted like a pompous man.
Even his wife could not take it. Standing aside, Maria curled her lip and looked toward Rhea. "Look at
how big-headed your dad has become!
What’s he so smug about? He only just landed the project. We don't even know if it's going to make
money!"
"National projects are lucrative, and it's not difficult to make money from them. The only difference is
how much," Rhea stated flatly, without emotion.
"That’s true!" Although she sounded disagreeable, Maria was also in a good mood.
Her poker friends now treated her courteously and even let her win on purpose just so they could be a
part of the project.
Still, she was not stupid enough to share such a profitable project with anyone.
'Of course, I have to continue to feed them hope. Otherwise, they wouldn't continue to let me win the
poker games or treat me so well to the point of gifting me with nice handbags and cosmetics.'
"Ree, have you been extra busy lately over at the lab? If I hadn't come, I wouldn’t even be able to see
you." Maria looked at her daughter, thinking her only regret was not spending more time with Rhea.
What her daughter said at the Rollins' house had astonished her. She did not think Rhea would still
resent trivial matters that took place so long ago during her childhood and would even poison
Anastasia for what happened.
Maria did some self-reflection and felt her daughter had only done so because they had mistreated her.
'Although it's bad to poison someone, Tasia has only grown fat over the years and hasn’t been harmed.
Also, her obesity might not have been caused by the poisoning! Perhaps it's because she eats a lot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTasia usually does. We can’t just blame everything on Ree!
'Besides, I spent so much effort trying to find doctors for Tasia that we don't owe her anything.
Fortunately, Ree managed to sway Cameron. If not, what should we do if he truly presses charges
against her?*
She felt upset just thinking about this.
’I took care of her for so long, yet Tasia insisted on reporting her to the police. Has she forgotten what
we’ve done for her? I've wasted my time on such an ingrate! After all, we could only depend on our
very own daughter. Look at this lucrative project. If not because of our beloved daughter, how could we
get our hands on it?*
"Ree, has that miracle doctor... uh, I mean Austin Fike, been found yet?” Maria asked, trying to think of
something to say.
