Chapter 2047

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2047-“Take her away!” Alexander commanded.

Rhea widened her eyes and struggled desperately. However, Edward had taped her mouth shut and restrained her. Ultimately, she could not speak and could only futilely struggle and wriggle.

They were about to leave the garage when someone suddenly appeared from outside with a knife and charged toward Edward. But the person’s actions and speed were child’s play for Edward.

He leaned to one side to avoid the attack and followed up with a kick, resulting in a loud, painful cry.

“Mrs. Moore?!” Edward immediately recognized the woman upon closer inspection.

Alexander also looked closely and realized it was indeed Maria.

The kitchen knife had fallen to the side as Edward had knocked her down.

Maria furrowed her brows and held her chest, exclaiming, “You… Let go of Rhee!”

“Mrs. Moore, it seems you knew your daughter wasn’t dead all along.” Alexander looked at Maria, his voice cold and indifferent.

Maria immediately fell silent. She had kept this secret, not even telling her husband. However, the secret was exposed. Even if she did not admit it, it would be pointless now that Rhea was in front of her.

“Yes, I knew about it long ago. So what?! It’s none of your business!” Maria retorted defiantly, her neck stiff. “Release my daughter now, or I’ll call for help!”

Alexander smiled indifferently. “Go ahead, let everyone know your daughter faked her death. Then the police can see for themselves if it’s really her!”

Those few words choked back Maria’s cries. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word. She was stunned.

Rhea was confirmed dead, and Maria even arranged the funeral. If the truth came out now and others learned about it, it would expose that Rhea had faked her death.

Then Maria considered the lives her daughter had taken and the incident with the Fike family. A chill ran down Maria’s spine immediately after.

“Release her, I beg you. I’ll do anything you ask! I’ll give you all my family’s money! Y-You wanted the business, right? I know you. You’re La Beaute Group’s president. I’ll give you the vaccine business, all of it.

“Please, I’m begging you to return my daughter to me!” She cried and pleaded with tears and snot streaming down her face.

Alexander looked at Maria’s desperate appearance and listened to her words. He knew she did not know anything.

‘She thinks we’re after her money and business. How naive.’

“Do you even know what the vaccine business is about?” Alexander asked coldly, sneering.

His question stunned the crying Maria. She blinked and pondered before saying, “Isn’t it for the pandemic? It’s over now, and the vaccine isn’t making much money. I’ve said before that this business shouldn’t continue, but you…”

“Hmph…” Alexander shook his head and walked forward.

Maria noticed Edward about to take her daughter away and suddenly rushed forward. She opened her mouth to bite Edward’s arm, but the latter raised his hand. He bumped his elbow into her and swiftly struck her down with his hand.

Maria’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.

Alexander heard the commotion and turned to glance at the situation.

Edward immediately said, “She’s just unconscious. It saves us some trouble.”
