Chapter 547 She is Your Sister
Evelyn responded to Dora's words not with a retort, but with a knowing smile. "Indeed, you'll need to tread carefully from now on, Dora. I'll be watching for any slip-ups," she warned.Dora returned the smile, her thoughts hidden behind her placid expression. 'Naturally, I'll exercise more caution. Next time, I'll ensure Evelyn is surrounded, leaving her no chance of escape. It's simply a matter of seizing the right opportunity,' she mused.Evelyn, however, had no intention of prolonging their verbal sparring. "Tomorrow, Father and I will be departing for Moris City. Don't forget to help him pack, Dora," she instructed, her indifference towards the task merely a ruse to provoke Dora.The fact that Blake was willing to accompany Evelyn to Moris City was a clear testament to his affection for her, a situation that Dora would undoubtedly find distasteful.Predictably, Dora's face darkened at the news. "Moris City? Are you not aware of your father's busy schedule? Evelyn, you should be more considerate and refrain from imposing on him," she protested."I had no intention of burdening him, but Father insisted on accompanying me," Evelyn countered, her smile broadening, her eyebrows arching in a display of feigned triumph.Dora, visibly agitated by Evelyn's demeanor, retorted, "Really? Your father must indeed be fond of you.""Yes, perhaps it's his way of making amends to my mother," Evelyn continued, her smile unwavering even under Dora's scrutiny.The mere mention of Evelyn's mother was enough to unsettle Dora."What good is guilt? She's nothing more than ashes now," Dora declared, confident in her perceived victory over Evelyn's mother.Evelyn, however, remained unperturbed. "Whether one is alive or dead is irrelevant. What matters is being remembered. As long as someone cherishes your memory, you never truly perish," she responded lightly."Unlike some who may appear victorious, but have in fact lost everything," Evelyn added, her words laced with mockery.Dora, initially composed, lost her temper at Evelyn's insinuation. She stormed over to Evelyn, her eyes blazing with fury. "I lost? It was that woman who was defeated!""A lowlife remains a lowlife, and as her daughter, you're no different!" Dora spat out.In response, Evelyn's hand shot up, and without hesitation, she delivered a resounding slap to Dora's face. "Mind your language," she warned.Dora stared at Evelyn in disbelief, her mind reeling. 'Did she just strike me?' Before she could react, Lucia, her daughter, exploded in rage. "You wretch! How dare you assault my mother? I'll end you!" she threatened, launching herself at Evelyn.However, Lucia, blinded by her anger, seemed to overlook the stark difference in their strengths. She had barely advanced towards Evelyn when she was effortlessly restrained.Once again, Lucia felt the chilling sensation of a hand around her neck, only this time, it was Evelyn's. Desperate to avoid a repeat of her near-death experience, Lucia cried out in terror, "Mother... help me!"Snapping out of her shock, Dora rushed towards Evelyn. "Release Lucia. She's your sister! What are you trying to achieve?""What am I trying to achieve? When you conspired to murder me, did you consider me her sister then?" Evelyn retorted, tightening her grip slightly.Lucia, her tears flowing freely due to the terror of her previous encounter with Dermot, pleaded for mercy. "Sister... I was wrong. Please forgive me.""Do you truly understand your mistake?" Evelyn inquired.Lucia nodded fervently. "I do, truly. I won't dare repeat it."
