Chapter 827 What Does It Have to Do with You?
If it weren't for Evelyn needing to go to the police station, grabbing a meal with Otis wouldn't be out of the question. She'd just taken over the Kyte family and didn't need to make enemies with the Doyle family.
"Mr. Doyle, you've got it wrong. I really have something urgent. You know about the explosion yesterday. I need to head to the police station, so I can't have dinner with you," Evelyn explained.
Sometimes, Evelyn thought there was no benefit in taking over a family. If it weren't for the Kyte family, she wouldn't bother explaining so much to Otis.
But because she was now in charge, she had to think about the Kyte family.
Otis seemed to buy her story a bit. "I get it. Let me drive you there. I've got nothing else going on."
"That's not necessary," Evelyn said awkwardly. She really didn't want to get too involved with Otis.
Just then, Dermot showed up. He walked over with a smile and said, "Evelyn, have you done with work? I came to take you to dinner."
Evelyn was a bit surprised but quickly caught on and nodded. "Yeah, just finished."
"Then let's go." Dermot ignored Otis completely. If Randy were around, he might show some respect, but out here, Otis was nothing to him.
Evelyn nodded and started to leave with Dermot, but Otis grabbed her wrist. "Didn't you say you had something to do? You won't have dinner with me, but you'll go with Dermot?"
"Of course, that depends on her relationship with us." Dermot pried Otis's hand off and stood in front of Evelyn.
Otis sneered, his eyes darting between them. "Dermot, you really have some nerve. You just broke up with Margaret, and now you're after Evelyn. What? Is Evelyn more useful to you now?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Dermot couldn't be bothered to argue. They weren't on the same level, so why waste time?
Even though Otis was a few years older, Dermot was now competing with his father for the Doyle family inheritance, so he looked down on him.
Otis didn't want to talk to him and instead looked at Evelyn. "Ms. Kyte, are you sure about your choice?"
"Mr. Otis Doyle, I don't get what you're saying. I did plan to have dinner with Dermot after the police station. I didn't expect him to come over now." Evelyn played dumb, not wanting to offend Otis or have dinner with him.
But to Otis, Evelyn had already rejected him. That was enough to make him hold a grudge.
He smiled and nodded. "Alright, take care."
With that, Dermot didn't waste any time and pulled Evelyn into his car.
Otis watched them leave, his eyes turning cold behind his glasses.
He had planned to pursue Evelyn and bring her into the Doyle family. That way, he could gain everything from the Kyte family and have more presence in front of Randy.
But now, from Evelyn's attitude, it seemed he had no chance.
Since he had no chance, he wouldn't let anyone else have it either.
He knew his father was planning to deal with Dermot, so he might as well take care of Evelyn too. After all, leaving her would only benefit others.
Dermot and Evelyn, who had already left, didn't know what Otis was thinking. But even if they did, there was nothing they could do. If the Doyle family wanted to act against them, they couldn't think of a way to stop it and could only barely cope.
