Chapter 1380
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
"What guinea pig? Why canât I understand a word you say today?"
Blinking, Fabian looked bewildered.
Maria said eagerly, "Didnât I tell you that Tasia trusts Lily and goes to have her meals at the womanâs house every day? She thought Lily was a good person who wanted to help her lose weight! "However, the miracle doctor told us that Lily is working with him at some lab and had only taught herself herbal medicine for a while.
She lacks practical experience and uses Tasia as a guinea pig! "Tasia is such a silly girl for thinking Lily cares for her! Who would be truly good to her besides her own family? Who doesnât put self- interest before everything in our society? No one will help her if thereâs nothing to gain!"
Shaking her head, Maria remembered something and turned to Rhea as she said, "Fortunately, youâre smart and capable.If you were like that silly girl, I'd be worried sick!"
Rhea curled her lips.
"You used to say she was pretty and smart when we were young."
A look of embarrassment crossed Mariaâs face.
"I only said it to please her father! I explained this to you before, right? Why are you still holding a grudge? Youâre my daughter.Of course, youâre my favorite!"
"So thatâs why!"
Slapping his thigh, Fabian caught on to what his wife had said.
"Then I must tell Ron about it.Anyway, the Russell family is too much! How could they treat us like sh*t?
Itâs outrageous that Tasia is being treated as a guinea pig!"
"Yes, you must tell Ron about it.He must never give the contract to the Russells, considering what theyâre doing!" Maria replied.
"1âm going back to my room."
Not interested in their conversation, Rhea turned and walked away.
"Hey, Ree, what about lunch?"
Maria hurriedly called after her.
"I'm not going.I'll get changed and return to the lab." Her voice drifted down from upstairs.
"Why..."
Opening her mouth, Maria looked helpless.
"Why is she going back to the lab again? She has become such a nerd! Arenât you going to do something about it?"
"What can I do about it?"
Fabian said, "Since she was young, she has never troubled us as she has always excelled in her studies and work.Just mind your own business.If she enjoys going to the lab, then so be it.Itâs better than her getting into trouble elsewhere, right?"
"I worry that she could never find a boyfriend if she carries on like this."
Letting out a sigh, Maria was helpless.
She knew her daughter had always been strong- minded, and it was challenging to make decisions for her.
In the office, Thompson was reporting the work progress.
"So far, this is what weâve achieved.We already have three finished products, and I believe we will have more soon."
He was happy that the subsequent result was good, and the creation of the three products proved that he was right and that they were heading in the right direction.
"I donât care about those things.What I want has yet to be created! "
The masked man said icily.
"I know.It should be soon! It wouldn't be long after this achievement," he said carefully.
"Soon? You told me that a month ago! Just when are you going to finish it?"
Mr.R slammed his fist on the table with a dull thump.
"Can you or canât you do it? Should I keep the lab running?"
