Chapter 654 Back So Soon?
Lucia listened to Dora's words but remained silent.
In her mind, she disagreed. She thought Dora lacked charm, which was why she hadn't captured Blake's heart all these years.
But she was different. She believed in her own charm. As long as she could marry Wade, she could make him like her for sure.
Where did Lucia's confidence come from? No one knew.
"Mom, how did you do whatever it took back then?" Lucia suddenly became very curious. Perhaps she could do the same.
Upon hearing this, Dora's face turned green with anger. "Lucia! Don't do foolish things!"
"Mom, if you don't even help me, then I'm really done for it." Lucia looked pitiful. She knew Dora would help her.
Sure enough, seeing Lucia like this, besides sighing, Dora had no other way. "Are you really determined to do this?"
"Yes, as long as I can marry Wade, I'm willing to do anything." Compared to Hubert, Wade was handsome and came from a good family. Only a fool wouldn't marry Wade.
Seeing Lucia so determined, Dora also knew she couldn't stop Lucia. "Alright, I can help you, but no one can guarantee that even if you succeed in your scheme, Wade will marry you. What if by then..."
"No, he will definitely marry me." Without a doubt, Lucia knew it in her heart.
Shaking her head, Dora said no more.
The car soon arrived at the Kyte family. Dora and Lucia walked into the living room and saw Evelyn sitting inside.
Seeing them return, Evelyn was a bit puzzled. "You're back from the Roberts family so soon? Didn't plan to stay a few more days?"
"Evelyn! Don't be too smug." Lucia gritted her teeth, feeling intense hatred.
But Lucia also knew she couldn't deal with Evelyn right now.
However, Lucia wasn't in a hurry. Walter had already employed mercenaries, and they would surely take care of Evelyn.
Once Evelyn was gone, even if Lucia had married into the Allen family, she would still be the heir of the Kyte family.
Raising an eyebrow, Evelyn felt indifferent to these non-threatening words. "What's there for me to be smug about? You, on the other hand, should be happy, about to get married soon, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lucia's already unpleasant expression turned even darker.
Dora grabbed Lucia, shook her head at her, then looked at Evelyn. "Evelyn, I know you don't like Lucia, but we're still family. Let's not make things too ugly."
"Are you threatening me?" Evelyn chuckled lightly, staring directly at Dora.
For some reason, Dora found Evelyn's gaze quite terrifying at this moment. Despite being younger, Evelyn exuded such a commanding presence.
Even Dora had to admit that Evelyn and Blake really resembled each other.
"You're overthinking it. Why would I threaten you?" Dora didn't want to argue with her. At this moment, she needed to focus on helping Lucia scheme against Wade, ensuring Lucia successfully married into the Allen family. She didn't want any trouble lest Evelyn set her sights on them.
Seeing Lucia show weakness, Evelyn didn't pursue further. "Is that so? All the better."
"With the engagement banquet approaching, Lucia, you should start preparing early." Evelyn smiled, deliberately provoking Lucia.
Afraid that Evelyn might say something to anger Lucia further, Dora took Lucia back to their room.
As Dora and Lucia left, Evelyn sneered. The Roberts family was indeed practical, sending people back within a day.
Thinking about Eugene's mention of cooperation, Evelyn became more suspicious. Would a family that prioritized interests suddenly split a project they had in hand?
This clearly wasn't possible.
'Something's definitely wrong!' Evelyn thought to herself.
