Chapter 1775

Fabian followed his niece’s gaze and glanced behind him before casually turning his head back and curling his lip.

"Why? Can’t I see him?"

"Well, it’s not that you can’t.However, you’ve brought many men over.Are you here to see my father or to threaten him? I would understand your intention because you’re my uncle, but it’s hard to tell what my father would think."

Anastasia looked so indifferent and calm that Fabian was unsure what to make of her.He gave it some thought and looked upstairs.

Then he moved closer and lowered his voice, saying, "Tell me honestly.Is your father truly home?"

"Please! Everyone knows my father has taken a few days off.no.vel.e.book Since he’s not at work, he’s at home.Where else could he be?"

Anastasia scoffed and spoke naturally.

Pensive, he looked up again.He coughed hard and turned to his men.

"Go outside and wait for me."

After receiving the order, Fabian’s men left together, and the house became quiet.

Anastasia felt relieved when the men left.However, she did not let down her guard and maintained a calm and indifferent look as if she was not concerned.

"Uncle Fabian, you still insist on seeing my father, huh? However, I must remind you he hasn’t been in a good mood.Besides, I know you’re not in a good mood either, so you shouldn’t see each other.What do you think?"

She spoke quietly, covering her mouth with one hand as if she did not want to alarm others.

Fabian rubbed his fingers together and frowned in hesitation.His eyes then darted around as if he had decided something.

"Even if your father gets angry, I should see him.He’s my brother-in-law, after all.Since he’s sick, I have more of a reason to visit him."

He went around Anastasia and immediately bolted upstairs when he finished his sentence.He moved fast and took significant strides as he quickly went up.

Anastasia could not stop him, even if she tried.

"Uncle Fabian!"

Anastasia did not expect that and shouted before chasing after him.

However, Fabian was already outside the door when she caught up with him.She grabbed the doorknob and blocked the door, out of breath.

Fabian saw her blocking his way with her flushed face and suddenly realized something.

Then he took a half step back and sized her up.

"Tasia, there are no outsiders now.Tell me the truth.Your father isn’t inside, is he?"

"What are you talking about?"

Anastasia chuckled, still catching her breath.

"Come on, cut the act, okay? What the hell happened to your father? If he’s in trouble, I can give you some advice.So? Has he been arrested?"

He was nervous deep down as he gestured.

‘If Cameron has gotten arrested, will it affect me and the project?’ Fabian thought so and desperately needed to find out what had happened.

"Uncle Fabian, you’re overthinking it."

Anastasia was calm as she spoke.

‘He is overthinking.Why would he think dad has gotten arrested?’ "Since that’s not the case, let me see him!"

Fabian said half- probingly, wanting to move forward.

"Uncle Fabian!"

She called out loudly as she held the doorknob.

Anastasia seemingly decided something and bit her lower lip, saying, "Since you're so concerned, I shouldn’t stop you, especially because I’m your niece.However, I hope you’ve thought it through."

She turned the doorknob, opened the door, then remained where she was before gesturing for him to enter the room.

Fabian hesitated instead.He stood at the doorway and looked at her, wondering if it was a trap.
