Chapter 1400
"What's wrong with the Russell family? What do you mean by bad luck?" Anastasia immediately
became nervous when she heard this.
She regarded Lily as her best friend. Thus, she did not want anything to happen to the Russell family. It
was possible that her aunt was being an alarmist, but as long as that possibility remained, she could
not just dismiss it.
"You shouldn't be asking!" Maria was afraid that she might slip up.
"Aunt Maria, tell me about it! You can't bring it up and not explain!" Anastasia pestered.
Ultimately, Maria said, "This is no secret. Something is going on with the Russell family's business.
There was a collective poisoning incident in one of their factories in Burnwken. Although it wasn't

war, and there seemed to be a plague.
"Look at it this way. If something happened to Alexander, wouldn't the Russell family be in a mess? By
that time, people believed the Russell family was cursed. I'm not trying to be calculative, but I'm just
worried that Lily has ulterior motives for approaching you at this time. You should be careful and not let
other people take advantage of you, okay?"
However, Anastasia had stopped listening.
After hearing the first part, she realized that she had not seen Alexander around recently, nor did Lily
mention anything about him. Even Galen rarely brought Alexander up. It seemed that he had really
gone abroad and had yet to return.
It was no wonder that Lily had seemed busy these past few days.
Anastasia believed she was overanalyzing things, but she was unaware that Lily was still supporting
her even as this was happening in her own family. Yet, Anastasia even dared to doubt her.
Thinking of this, Anastasia was immediately washed with guilt. Then she stood up and ordered,
"Someone get the car. I'm going out!"
"Hey, Tasia, where are you going? You're not going to Lily's, are you? Didn't you hear anything I just
said? It's best if you don't go there so often. If you're worried, you can always come to my place to eat.
I'll get someone to prepare food for you!" Maria called after Anastasia.
"Aunt Maria, I still have things that I need to do. I'll get going first. I know you care about me. I'll tell Dad
that you've always helped me!" She knew what her uncle and aunt wanted. They wanted her to say a
few good words forthem.

With that, she rushed over to the Russell Estate. She didn't expect Lily to be at home.
Back then, Anastasia would come over to find that Lily wasn't home. She would only be home after
dinner. Now that she was home, Anastasia's mind started to spin. Could something have happened
that made Lily stay at home?
"Tasia, you're early today." Lily was surprised to see Anastasia since it was not even noon yet.
"Lily, you..." The moment she saw Lily, she got tongue-tied.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked strangely.
"Did something happen in your family?" Anastasia asked directly after thinking about it.
If she beat around the bush, things might get lost in translation. In the end, she decided to be upfront
about it. The more she talked, the more confused Lily might get.
Hearing this, Lily was startled. She didn't understand what Anastasia meant. "What do you mean?"
