Being unable to shove Anastasia aside in the presence of his business rival infuriated Fabian. “Stupid girl, are you going against me
for an outsider?”
“I'm only doing this for my father!” She stretched her arms and shielded her father. She said solemnly, “My father has just taken
the pill and will be fine soon. | can’t allow you to create any trouble at this moment!”
“Pill? What pill? Did he bring it? Do you trust him so much?” After a pause, he thought of something and chuckled coldly. “Or did his
wife tell you your father got poisoned?”
He suddenly remembered that Maria had complained about Lily before, but he did not take it seriously then.
‘Looks like Lily has seriously brainwashed my niece, hasn't she?’

Anastasia neither denied nor admitted it and simply said, “Uncle Fabian, kicking up a fuss about this won't do you any good either.
Just go back, and lettake care of my father.”
“How am | making a fuss? I'm worried about your father’s health and want to send him to the hospital. Do you know even the
higher-ups will get suspicious of him calling in sick for so long? Not to mention those trying to ask favors from your father.”
The vaccine development project was underway, but Fabian knew nothing about the field. He only moved around the facility and
briefed several people in charge of the research.
As Rhea had introduced them to him, but she was no longer around, he felt a disconnect between him and these people.
Although Fabian had invested in and was responsible for the project, he knew nothing about the end product. He used to leave it all
to Rhea, and now he had to oversee the research himself.
It was close to success, but he needed Cameron's written approval before proceeding into large-scale production and use. Fabian
was already anxious enough that his brother-in-law was bedridden and began to suspect that Alexander and his wife were behind
this.
‘Are they trying to take revenge by settingup because they're upset | stole their project? The more | think about it, the more
probable it is. Talk of Cameron getting poisoned and needing to keep it a secret due to his position is to stopfrom disrupting
their plan.
‘Who knows? They might've caused Cameron to fall sick in the first place.’
Fabian’s eyes darted around as he moved his lower jaw to loosen his stiff face. He sighed at Anastasia and said, “It's not that I'm
being unreasonable, but | worry that others are taking advantage of you because you're young and naive.”
He threw Alexander a meaningful glance and continued, “Your father holds a high position and is known for his integrity. So many

Anastasia noticed his concerned expression and knew what his intention was. She narrowed her eyes. “You're overthinking it. I'm
young, but I've experienced many ordeals, and my father has taughthow to discern people's characters.
“| can tell who is usingin the nof kinship and who is truly good to my father and me. Anyway, | know you're busy lately, so
you shouldn’t bother about my family’s matters.”
Fabian knew she was mocking him for using her in the nof kinship and got riled up. “Are you saying that I'm using you?”
“I've never said that, but | can do nothing if that's how you understood it.” Anastasia shrugged indifferently. Her nonchalant look
further enraged Fabian.
“Your aunt and | have raised and cared for you for so long, yet you think we're using you and that the outsiders are the ones truly
good to you?” He angrily stomped his foot. “Fine. I'll teach you who your family is and who the f*ck is using you!”
Fabian fished out his phone to make a call as he added, “There's nothing you can do about this!”
