Chapter 1007: Yes, I Am Unwilling
Dermot smirked at her words, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Based on what?"
"Dermot, I get you're upset about Evelyn, but don't take it out on me," Margaret snapped. She was still part of the Martin family, and no one outside dared to talk to her like this.
But Dermot didn't care. He shot her a cold look that made her shiver. "I know about Evelyn's accident, but it has nothing to do with the Martin family. We don't want to mess with the Kyte family."
Even the Doyle family was watching the Martins. Offending the Kytes now would be suicidal.
"What do you want?" Dermot was done with the conversation and wanted her gone.
"I just came to check on you. Evelyn has to care for Joshua forever. You must feel awful. We were together once, and even though we're not now, we're still friends. It's only right to care," she said.
Dermot's face darkened, and his gaze turned sinister. "You seem well-informed."
"The Martin family has some pull in Golombia," Margaret admitted. She was keeping tabs on Evelyn, no point denying it. All the major families in Golombia watched each other. Even Dermot probably had his spies.
Dermot sneered and started the car. "I don't need your concern. Maybe worry about yourself."
Margaret pressed on, "The Martin family plans to pass the inheritance to your brother. Are you okay with that?"
Her expression froze, and she bit her lip. "No, I'm not. That's why I need your help."
"And why would I help you?" Dermot chuckled, thinking she was delusional.
Margaret had leverage. "Don't you want to know who targeted Evelyn?"
Dermot's face changed. "You know?"
"I don't, but my people were nearby and caught someone trying to escape. Coincidence, right?" Margaret smiled, pleased with his reaction.
'No matter how powerful, Dermot has vulnerabilities,' she thought.
After a while, Dermot calmed down. "What do you want me to do?"
"Help me take over the Martin family." She didn't hope to be with Dermot anymore. Her goal was always the Martin family. Why not go for it directly?
Dermot laughed. "You think too highly of me. I have nothing now. I can't even intervene with the Doyle family. How could I help you take over the Martins?"
"I believe you can." She knew how capable he was.
Dermot chuckled and said nothing.
Margaret grew anxious. "Think it over. Only the person I have can help you find the mastermind. Are you sure you don't want that?"
"So what if I find the mastermind? Can it change what's happened?" Even if he knew, Joshua wouldn't get better, and Evelyn wouldn't change her decision.
