Chapter 1549
Just like that, Rhea was shut down.
Fabian and Maria did not know about this, so they looked at her questioningly. "Ree? Is it true? What's
the matter? Why didn't you say anything?" 'It's nothing serious. I didn't expect you to know, Uncle
Cameron. I've taken care of it," Rhea responded lightly after she came back to her senses.
'Nothing serious?" The corners of Cameron's lips hooked up. "Everyone from the police station has
gone there. I heard that they'd searched the institute inside and out. Is it trivial for a grown man to
disappear in your research institute?"
Hearing this, Maria's face turned pale with fright. 'What?! Is that true, Ree?! Do people go missing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthere?! Oh gosh, that's terrifying! You should resign and stop working there. If something happens to
you one day, your father and I won't know what to do!"
Rhea did not bother comforting her mother. Instead, she looked at Cameron and continued, "Those are
just rumors. I thought you were always a clear-headed person, Uncle Cameron. I didn't expect you to
buy into that gossip." 'You're right. Rumors do spread very fast. However, seeing that you work there,
you should know best about what is happening."
The two were trying to get an answer from each other while Fabian and Maria listened but had no idea
what was happening. They were both stunned by what they heard.
They didn't understand what was going on. It sounded like Cameron had an interest in the research
institute that Rhea was working in.
"Ree..." Maria was just about to speak, but Rhea did not give her a chance.' Of course I do, but it
seems you know more than I do. Is the research we're doing under your supervision?" 'With my job, I'm
always involved one way or another," Cameron answered lightly. Then he turned to Maria, who had a
bashful look on her face, and said, "Speaking of which, I think you'd know who the missing person is."
’Me? I know him?" Maria pointed at herself in confusion.
'You mean the miracle doctor that you've invited to see Tasia?" Fabian frowned. After thinking for a
while, he asked, "What did you say his name was?" "Austin Fike. You mean Dr. Fike?!" Maria yelled so
loud that her voice cracked.
'Yes. That's what I heard." Cameron nodded.
'How could it be?!" She almost jumped up but was quickly held down by Fabian. After calming herself
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdown, she mumbled, "Actually, there is a possibility. I tried calling him just now, but his phone is off. D-
Did something happen to him?" 2 "Maybe." Cameron nodded thoughtfully. Then with one hand on his
temple, the frown on his face deepened. "His parents reported him missing to the police, and they even
followed the police force there. I don't think it's fake.' 'Oh dear, how could such a thing happen? That's
terrible!" Maria was trembling all over, clearly terrified.
Then she turned around and grabbed Rhea's arm. "Ree just quit the job! Just stop doing those
experiments! If one day, you... Oh my! I can't bear to think about it. Hurry up and resign! Scratch that!
Just call in and say that you quit!’
Rhea, being shaken by her mother like that, immediately frowned and shook her off. "Oh, that man
didn't disappear from our premises. The police didn't find him, and there's no evidence of his
disappearance."
