Chapter 627 The Alliance
"Rest assured," Blake said, his voice steady and reassuring. "She may have married into the Kyte family, but she is one of us now. I won't let her interfere with our alliance." Blake was well aware of Caius's concerns. He addressed them head-on, eager to dispel any lingering doubts. His regard for Dora was minimal, and his feelings for the Roberts family were even less favorable. Years prior, before he had ascended to the head of the Kyte family, the Roberts had been a thorn in his side. Now, it was his turn to return the favor. As Blake spoke, understanding dawned on Caius. He nodded in agreement, saying, "Given the strength of our two families, it might be difficult, but it's not impossible to take over the entire Roberts family."Blake returned the nod. "I concur. It's a challenging task. The Roberts family may not be on par with us, but they are still one of the top ten families. They won't go down without a fight."Evelyn, confident in their capabilities, felt a sense of reassurance. "We need not rush. We can proceed methodically and strategically.""Caius then turned to Blake, "Shall we delve into the specifics of our plan?" He was eager to expand the Fisher family's influence and had little patience for idle chatter with Evelyn. His focus was on the task at hand.Blake didn't respond immediately but glanced at Evelyn, seemingly hesitant about whether to discuss the matter now or postpone it, given their lack of preparation.Evelyn, understanding his predicament, nodded at him and rose from her seat. "You two discuss. I'll go check on the soup."It wasn't that she was intentionally avoiding them, but business wasn't her forte. She feared her presence might disrupt their discussion.She exited the private room, stepping into the bustling main hall of the restaurant. At this hour, the establishment was teeming with diners. However, her concern for Dermot's situation left her with little appetite.She ventured outside the restaurant, where the brisk wind served as a reminder of the impending winter.People on the street were already bundled up in trench coats. She glanced down at her light dress, feeling a chill creep up her spine.Yet, the cold also served to sharpen her focus."Evelyn," a voice called from behind her. She turned to find Maximus Cooper approaching her."What is it?" Evelyn asked, raising an eyebrow. She wasn't particularly interested in engaging with Maximus.Maximus, taken aback by her aloof demeanor, felt a twinge of irritation. "It seems you've forgotten about our agreement?"She paused for a moment, and then realization dawned on her. "I haven't forgotten, just been preoccupied lately."
Indeed, they were in the midst of dealing with the Roberts family, and Evelyn felt it was high time to find a solution for Lucia to avoid any potential drama within the Kyte family.Maximus wasn't convinced by her excuse. "You have the contract. When will you fulfill your promise to me?""Don't be so impatient. My father is here dining today as well. I'll introduce you to him later, alright? You know what to do, correct?" Evelyn said, a smile playing on her lips. The timing of Maximus's arrival was rather opportune.Maximus was taken aback. He hadn't expected Blake to be present as well. "Alright."After giving the two men ample time to discuss, Evelyn decided it was time to introduce Maximus to the room. She knocked on the door as a gentle reminder. She didn't want to interrupt their discussion about the Roberts family. If Maximus overheard their conversation, it could complicate matters."Guess who I brought?" she announced as she entered the private room, Maximus following closely behind her.Upon seeing the newcomer, a flicker of surprise crossed Blake's eyes. "Mr. Cooper.""Just call me Maximus, Blake," Maximus replied cordially, considering that Blake was his future father-in-law.Blake was puzzled. Why was everyone being so agreeable today?
