Chapter 653 Perhaps Not a Bad Choice
Lucia didn't want to leave. She was well aware of what awaited her once she returned to the Kyte family.
But Dora dragged her along, and she couldn't break free, so she had no choice but to follow.
In the car back to the Kyte family, Lucia couldn't help but cry, "Mom, why do we have to leave? Let's beg Eugene and Walter, they will definitely help us."
Dora was already upset, and now seeing Lucia cry incessantly only added to her irritation, "Stop crying!"
Dora’s sudden outburst frightened Lucia. "Mom, are you scolding me too?"
Lucia cried even more bitterly.
Feeling helpless, Dora embraced her, "I'm not scolding you, I just think that right now, we should think of a solution instead of crying. Crying won't solve anything."
"Do you think if we continue to beg Eugene and Walter, they will help us? You are too naive."
"They won't. They won't risk offending your dad because of us. Do you understand? In the face of benefits, we mean nothing."
Dora felt she needed to explain things clearly to Lucia. She couldn't let her continue being so naive.
Lucia actually knew this, but she just couldn't accept it. "So I just have to accept reality?"
"Lucia, it might not be bad to marry into the Diaz family." Dora thought about it and felt that a change in perspective might not be bad.
Lucia was surprised, staring at Dora with wide eyes, "Mom..."
"Listen to me first." Dora interrupted her and continued, "The Kyte family is stronger than the Diaz family. After you marry into the Diaz family, you’ll have significant influence, and the Diaz family won't dare to bully you."
"If you can manage to control the Diaz family, you'll become the real mistress of the Diaz family, which is better than being an insignificant young lady in the Kyte family!"
The more Dora thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Moreover, the gap between the Diaz family and the Kyte family wasn't that large, maybe the Diaz family might even surpass the Kyte family!
Listening to Dora's words, Lucia was somewhat moved.
Being the real mistress – that's what she wanted.
But...
Lucia furrowed her brows, still somewhat unwilling, "But wouldn't it be better if I could marry into the Allen family and start off higher than marrying into the Diaz family?"
"But would Wade be willing to marry you?"
Dora felt this possibility was almost non-existent. From the dinner at the Kyte family, it was clear that Wade had his eyes on Evelyn and openly displayed his disdain for Lucia.
Of course, Dora didn't say this aloud, as it would be too hurtful. After all, Lucia was her daughter, and she did feel some pity for her.
At the mention of this, Lucia couldn't help but want to cry again.
However, under Dora's stern gaze, Lucia ultimately held back her tears, "Mom, but I still can't accept it. Can we think of another way?"
"What other way?" Dora couldn't think of any solution at the moment. Moreover, she was starting to think that marrying into the Diaz family wasn't so bad after all.
At least Hubert seemed to genuinely like Lucia, and she should be able to live a happier life with him than Dora did with Blake.
"Lucia, I know you want to reach higher, but have you thought about the consequences?" Dora rarely spoke so candidly with Lucia.
"I had the same thoughts as you back then, so I married your dad by any means necessary. But look at me over the years. I haven't become the real mistress of the Kyte family, nor has your father treated me as his true wife."
"If you really insist on marrying Wade, you might end up like me in the future. Can you really accept that?"
"On the other hand, if you marry Hubert, no matter what, they won't dare to mistreat you. And I can see that Hubert has feelings for you. If you marry him, you should be able to live a happier life."
