Chapter 630 He's Amnesiac, Not Foolish
Dorian offered a murmur of acknowledgment before he immediately posed a question, "Do you believe Lucia is the one?" Maximus fell into a thoughtful silence before he finally responded, "I see where you're going with this. You're suggesting Evelyn is a more likely candidate?" Dorian countered with a leisurely tone, "Isn't it plausible? Evelyn seems to surpass Lucia in every aspect, be it capabilities, social conduct, or her network of acquaintances."Maximus didn't dispute Dorian's argument, yet he added, "However, when it comes to legitimacy, Lucia is the rightful lady of the Kyte family. Evelyn, at best, is a love child."In the past, Blake and Evelyn's mother were never united in matrimony. Despite their profound love, the absence of a marriage certificate meant she was never acknowledged by the Kyte family, and hence, she was not the lady of the Kyte household.Lucia's situation was different. As the offspring of Blake and Dora, despite the tumultuous nature of their marriage, she was the legitimate child."You raise a valid point," Dorian conceded after a moment of contemplation, agreeing with Maximus's perspective.In families like theirs, it wasn't unusual to have illegitimate offspring. If they were all treated on par with the legitimate children, it would lead to disorder.Dorian sighed, "Many years ago, a nomadic sage made several prophecies, all of which came true. My father had unwavering faith in his words."He prophesied that if our Cooper family could unite with the Kyte family through marriage in this generation, our family would flourish and potentially even become the most prominent among the ten great families."This prophecy was the reason why Maximus's primary objective was to marry the lady of the Kyte family. Initially, they had set their sights solely on Lucia, believing that she was the key to their family's prosperity. Despite their lack of admiration for her, they had no intention of abandoning their pursuit.However, with Evelyn's emergence, they began to question whether the prophecy referred to her as the lady of the Kyte family.Despite their doubts, they were hesitant to take the risk, considering Evelyn was merely a love child."Don't worry, I will marry her and bring her into our family," Maximus assured confidently. He was acutely aware that if he failed in this endeavor, the future of the Cooper family would be in jeopardy, and there was no telling who would seize control.Dorian nodded in agreement and concluded the conversation, "Go get some rest."In a secluded villa with a panoramic view of Silverlake, a vivacious woman observed as a man, previously comatose, began to stir back to consciousness. An unusual flicker of emotion crossed her eyes before she quickly concealed it.She approached him, "You're awake? How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?""Who are you?" Dermot fixed his gaze on her, unable to recall her or even his own identity.His amnesia wasn't limited to forgetting her; it felt as though he had lost something vital, filling him with dread.Observing his distressed expression, the woman snapped her fingers and reassured him, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, try not to overthink."Her words seemed to have a soothing effect on Dermot, alleviating his fear, yet his mind was still riddled with questions, "What happened to me?""You were being chased, and I rescued you," the woman replied succinctly."Chased?" Dermot was clueless about his past, and hence, he had no idea why he would be a target.The woman decided not to keep him in the dark any longer and handed him a set of documents, "This is your information; you'll understand everything once you've read it."Dermot scrutinized the documents with caution, his brows furrowing deeper, "How can I be certain this information about me is accurate?" Despite his amnesia, his sharp intellect remained intact.
