Chapter 1627
"No idea!"
Rhea grew impatient.
"Why do you care about him so much?"Her tone was unfriendly.Stumped, Maria paused for a moment.
"I- I was just wondering."
‘I dealt with Austin several times, didn’t I? To beg him, | had to travel here and there, and he ended up being a fake miracle doctor.
What about my gifts and medical fees? If he's fake, | should get them all back, shouldn't I? ‘However, it’s too late now since he’s
gone missing.From what | heard, he might even be dead now"
"I just think that if he were found, | could at least get him to refund me.The money was so ill-spent!"
Worried that she would upset her daughter, she spoke in a murmur, then quickly added, "Anyway, perhaps one of his victims found

Not paying attention, Rhea cocked her head with a frown as her mother tugged at her sleeve.
"Hmm, it’s possible."
Maria was delighted by her patronizing remark and becconvinced that her speculation was correct.
"But you're right.Why should we care about him? A wonderful future lies in store for our family.Oh, yes, Ree, what was the secret
that you told your uncle? Can you tellabout it?"
Driven by curiosity, she had wanted to know for days.
Although she knew her daughter might be upset, she was intrigued.
Maria and her husband had spent their lives currying favor with Cameron, but he had never treated them well.
Yet, since Ree left the house, the man had done what she told him to do.
‘If we knew, we could have asked her to do it in the first place and spare ourselves a lot of trouble"
"This secret..."
Rhea drawled as she noticed her mother’s curious expression.
Maria wanted to put her ear to her daughter's mouth to hear it better.
However, she heard Rhea say, emphasizing each word, "This secret might cost your life.Do you still want to hear it, Mom?"
For unknown reasons, Maria felt a chill run up her spine to the top of her head.
Flustered, she hastily shook her head.
"No, no, no, | don’t want to.How could you tellsuch an important secret? I-l was just kidding!"
Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Maria looked a bit pale.

Rhea turned her head away from her, a little irritated.
‘What can | say about my parents? Sometimes | wonder whether | was born to them.With such low 1Qs, how could they give birth to
a brilliant person like me? However, there's no doubt they're my parents.It's hard to describe my feelings about not being able to
break free from such a unique blood relationship"
Suddenly, they heard heavy footsteps approaching from behind.
The mother and daughter looked over and saw Cameron and his men coming their way.
"Ron!"
Humbled by his presence, Maria greeted him with a smile.
Cameron did not answer.
More accurately, he did not even look at her as his gaze fell directly on Rhea.
