Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1716

It was a rare situation indeed to have to speak in hushed tones like a thief in one’s own home.

“How is the situation right now?” Not wasting time, Lily got straight to the point. “Do you know that Rhea is dead?”

The smile on Anastasia’s face froze, and she nodded. “I heard.”

“How did your father react to it?”

“He was very agitated when he returned that day. He locked himself in the room and didn’t let anyone in. All I could hear was things being smashed inside. Then…” She cringed slightly, unnerved by what happened that day. “Then... the servants went in to clean up the mess, but after my father vented his anger, he was a lot calmer, and there was nothing off about him.”

“Besides smashing things, did he do anything else?” Lily pondered it and questioned, "From what you said, Rhea is using drugs to control your father. Now that she’s dead and can’t control him anymore through drugs, has your father become normal, even a little bit?”

After giving it some thought, Anastasia shook her head. “No! He’s the same as before, yet there’s nothing unusual about him.”

“What about the way he treated you? You said he tried to lock you up and not let you contact anyone before this…”

“He has yet to return my phone, and he’s still not letting me out. However, he doesn’t watch me as closely as before. If there’s anything different, I think…” She paused with a frown, seemingly unsure.

“What is it?” Alexander asked.

Although Cameron was fierce toward her, she knew he was controlled by someone else and had not acted so on purpose. She had been thinking of ways to make him normal again, but his condition was tricky. Not only had she never seen anything like it before, she had not heard about it either.

“Stay calm. I’m sure we can come up with a solution.” Lily consoled her gently and tried to take Anastasia’s wrist pulse. “Your pulse has been unstable lately. You haven’t had your meals regularly, and your body-"

“I’m fine!” Anastasia withdrew her hand, unconcerned with her health at the moment. “Lily, save my father first!”

Unable to take her wrist pulse, Lily sighed.

“Okay. Although you’re in bad shape lately, it’s not that serious. I think we should meet your father first,” she said as she rose.
