Chapter 1508
"Ree, what are you doing here?" Maria was surprised and jogged over to her.
Rhea frowned. "Why are you guys here?" "I have something to do. What about you?" Fabian cleared
his throat and asked.
"Likewise!" Rhea spoke without looking back as her gaze landed on Anastasia. "Tell me. Where is my
pen holder?"
Anastasia spread her palms, looking helpless. "Rhea, I didn't take your pen holder, I swear! I don’t even
know what it looks like. Plus, why would I take your pen holder?" "God knows why! Who else could it
be other than you? My mom said you're the only outsider who came to our house in the last two days!"
Rhea accused her coldly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaria could only smile awkwardly at the sudden mention of her name." Tasia, Ree lost her pen holder,
and it's important to her. There hasn't been anyone else by the house recently. I don't think that you
took it either, but could it be possible that you accidentally brought it home?"
That was a great play with words. If Maria had asked Anastasia, "Did you take it?" it would mean that
Anastasia had stolen the pen holder if she had it with her now. However, she used the phrase
"accidentally brought it home," so Anastasia could admit what she did without looking like a thief. After
all, the pen holder was in Rhea's room. How could Anastasia have brought it home accidentally?
"Aunt Maria, I didn't take it. I didn't even go upstairs when I visited the other day. Have you forgotten

truth.
"Anastasia, I know you wouldn't lie to us, but there might be a misunderstanding here. Well... when is
your father coming back?" The focus of Fabian and Maria's visit was Cameron. The pen holder was not
what they prioritized, so they brushed it off after just a few questions.
"My daddy..." Before Anastasia could finish her words, Rhea suddenly stood up and walked over to her.
In front of everyone, she grabbed Anastasia's wrist.
"Rhea, what are you doing?" Anastasia was stunned and tried to break free subconsciously, but Rhea
had an iron grip on her.
Rhea placed three of her fingers on Anastasia's pulse for a moment before glancing at her. "You ate
the medications Austin prescribed to you?"
Anastasia pulled her hand back a little. "I-I did!" "Builsh*t! And they say you never lie!" Rhea scoffed
and released her.
If it were not for Anastasia's heavy weight, which provided her with stability, she would have been

Maria quickly held Anastasia and reprimanded, "Ree, what are you doing?"
No matter what, they had to be mindful of their actions at Cameron's place. As they had not had a
fallout with Cameron yet, they had to treat Anastasia nicely like they always did.
Rhea was not bothered by such words from her mother at all. She just smirked and said, "Mom! She's
lying to you! She didn't take any of the medications Austin prescribed to her!" "She didn't?" Maria
looked at Rhea first before turning her head to look at Anastasia, not quite believing Rhea's words.
