Chapter 2170

Rhea knew what had happened to her father but did not care about him. Although Cameron knew she was ruthless, he did not expect her to treat her parents like nothing.

“Aren’t you worried about him?” he could not help but ask with a frown.

Rhea sneered, “I can’t even save myself. Besides, he’s too dumb to do business in a dog-eat-dog world. He should thank me for helping him sustain his business for so long.”

Her words shocked Cameron and Alexander.

Rhea noticed it and sat upright before saying, “I might sound harsh, but I’m speaking the truth. If you feel sorry for my dad, why don’t you just let him go? Would it make a difference if I pleaded on his behalf?”

“He’s only in trouble because of you,” Cameron murmured.

Rhea laughed. “What a joke! He would have gotten arrested long ago if it weren’t for me. As you know, he’s done many stupid things over the years. It was just a matter of time before he ended up in jail, right?

“You should blame the timing instead. If we could’ve pulled it off sooner, maybe my dad could enjoy a comfortable life with my help.”

She shook her head and sighed.

‘I don’t regret what I did. I’m just sorry things didn’t happen fast enough.’

Cameron knew what she meant, asking, “By ‘pulling it off,’ you mean putting your tainted vaccines into the market and harming more people, don’t you?”

He clenched his fists as he spoke. When he read the investigation report, he was shocked and furious by what they discovered in the research center.

Rhea retorted, “Don’t you think there are too many useless people in the world? Keeping those people around is just a waste of resources. We should reserve valuable resources for useful people, shouldn’t we?”

Cameron was in disbelief as he looked at her intensely. “What the hell did you learn when you studied abroad? What did the organization do to you?”

“What did they do?” Rhea slowly got to her feet and smiled at Cameron. “They discovered my talent and knew I was different from you guys. They gave me the best learning opportunities by exposing me to cutting-edge medicine and technology.

“They introduced me to a whole new world! Thanks to them, I realized I didn’t have to live under anyone’s shadow, and it didn’t matter if my parents neglected me. I could change the fate of most of the people in this world if I wanted to.

“The organization gave me confidence and opportunities. It was I who failed to utilize them fully. I don’t think I’ve failed yet.” She slowly sat back down, no longer having much to say.

As Cameron sighed and turned around, Alexander asked, “The virus you took is about to take effect, isn’t it?”

Rhea looked disturbed hearing his seemingly casual question. Although she remained silent, Alexander knew the answer. “If you must know, we’ve rejected your offer. I won’t use you to trade for Lily.”

“Why?!” Rhea exclaimed. “Don’t you care about her anymore?! Men are heartless! I know you can always get a new wife, but when the experiment succeeds, you’ll realize how foolish you were!”

Unfazed by her mockery, Alexander gazed at her. “Well, your experiment won’t work. Also, I won’t do it because…you’re just not worthy enough.”
