Chapter 1504
The following morning, Maria washed up and had breakfast before delicately doing her make-up. She
was about to leave the house to go shopping and meet up with her friends.
She had been so busy with Anastasia's matters that she had no time to hang out with her friends. It
had tempted her for a long time, and they finally agreed to hang out.
'I’m so going to have a good time today!'
With that thought in mind, she picked up her bag and headed to the door. Just as she was about to
leave, she heard hurried footsteps, and soon, she watched as someone quickly entered through the
door.
Once she looked at the person, joy flashed across her face. "Ree! You’re back!" 'Yeah," Rhea

"Ree, you're not returning to the institute anymore, are you? Will you be staying home longer this
time?" Maria asked. She had grown accustomed to this side of Rhea and just turned to follow her
daughter upstairs.
Rhea did not reply and just walked quickly.
"I saw the news. Something happened to a professor from your institute, right? Will you guys continue
with the experiment, or will it stop? I think you should use this chance to rest. Look at you. You’ve lost a
few pounds again!" Maria spoke by herself, not bothered that Rhea was not replying.
When they arrived at Rhea's room, Rhea hurried to her desk. Her expression changed after her gaze
swept across the table. "Where's my pen holder?" "What was that?" Maria blinked, not understanding
her question.
"My pen holder! The one I put on my desk!" Rhea roared as she slapped her palm on the top of the
table. Her expression looked terrible at this moment.
It scared Maria to see her daughter this way. She stuttered, "l-l don't know." "How could you not know?"
Rhea hit the table with her palm desperately. If she could, she would crack the table with her bare
hands. After that, she rummaged around her room frantically for her pen holder. From the table to her
cabinets, drawers, and even the bookshelves behind. Her room was a mess.
"I placed it here! How could it go missing? Did you come into my room when I wasn’t around? Did you
touch my things?” Rhea yelled like a mad woman while searching her room for the pen holder.
Maria was frightened because she had never seen this side of Rhea.
Although Rhea had been hostile and distant toward others and looked like a robot with no emotions,
she had never broken out in such a rage.

softly, "I have no idea what pen holder you're talking about. Tell me about it. Is it expensive? I'll buy one
that's even more expensive for you. Cheer up, Ree!" "Buy?!" Rhea could not find the pen holder even
after rummaging around her room, so she looked up and sneered. "Do you think you can buy
everything in this world with your stupid money?" "I..." Maria was upset about being questioned in such
a manner. Tears filled her eyes quickly as she said aggrievedly, "Ree, I know you’re upset with us and
think I’m biased, but I’ve explained it to you many times.
"It's not what you think it is. Plus, you hate how your father and I could do anything for money, but you
grew up comfortably with our money! Without our stupid money, could you have studied abroad? Could
you have found such a great job? Could you be living so comfortably?"
Rhea scoffed and said maliciously, "What? Are you trying to say I'm indebted to you guys now, and I’ve
spent much of your money? Fine! Let’s do the accounts, and I'll pay you a lump sum! You guys have
that fat daughter anyway. You don’t need me!" Her words stunned Maria.
