Chapter 1828: Chapter 1831: Theodore Lucas Rescues Someone
Every woman has a jealous heart.
Especially someone like Evelyn Lucas, who has always thought highly of herself and could never tolerate anyone being better or prettier than her.
She slapped Lily’s face again and again, wishing she could ruin Lily’s face like that.
"Stop—" At that moment, an unexpected voice came from outside the door.
Evelyn Lucas stopped her hand, and like Robbie Bright, she looked warily toward the door.
A few seconds later, the figure of Theodore Lucas, leaning on a cane, appeared at the villa’s entrance.
"Evelyn..." Theodore Lucas called out to Evelyn Lucas, with a deep and melancholic tone of weariness.
"Ha, and here I thought it was someone else, but it’s you, the old fellow, delivering yourself... What, haven’t had enough of what grandpa fed you last time, still want more?"
Seeing Theodore Lucas, Robbie Bright laughed arrogantly.
With a wave of his hand, two fierce thugs approached Theodore Lucas.
From the moment he made his choice, Theodore Lucas never thought of hiding.
He let the two thugs grab him and drag him in front of Robbie Bright.
Robbie Bright snatched the cane from Theodore Lucas and raised it, striking hard on Theodore’s right knee.
"Wait—" In the nick of time, Evelyn Lucas suddenly stopped Robbie Bright.
"Evelyn, why stop me? It’s this old fellow who scratched your mom’s face, accused her publicly, and forced her to commit suicide. Now is our chance for revenge..."
"I... I have something to ask him..." Evelyn Lucas held Robbie Bright’s hand, refusing to let go.
Since she was very young, after learning about her true background, she had secretly admired both Nolan Lucas and Theodore Lucas.
To her, Nolan Lucas was handsome and charming, young and elegant.
Theodore Lucas was mature and steady, exuding the aura of someone with authority.
She had always liked these two men, and even agreed to marry Rodney Rhodes partly to help Theodore Lucas, but also because she knew at that time she couldn’t possibly be with her nominal father or brother.
If she couldn’t have the best man, then choosing any other man made no difference to her.
The admiration and yearning from childhood were almost engraved in her bones.
If not for last time, seeing Theodore Lucas in a sorry state, leaving her utterly disappointed, she wouldn’t have allowed Robbie Bright to treat Theodore Lucas that way.
But now, after not seeing each other for a long time, when Theodore Lucas appeared before her again, he had regained that original elegance and grace.
He dressed simply and cleanly, but his hair was neatly combed, and his previously messy beard was completely shaved off, exuding the charm of a mature man.
This was the most captivating aspect of Theodore Lucas for Evelyn Lucas.
She gazed at Theodore Lucas, her heart stirring.
"Dad, let him go first."
Evelyn Lucas wasn’t the least bit afraid that Theodore Lucas would harm her, surrounded by so many people with guns, she boldly walked up to Theodore Lucas.
"Evelyn, I know you’re just after money. They are a pregnant woman and a child, lives could be endangered at any moment... This is not good for you... Why not let it go?"
Theodore Lucas looked at Evelyn Lucas, trying his hardest to speak to her in the tone he used in the past to counsel her.
After all these years, he was also a deep thinker, having watched Evelyn Lucas grow up, how could he not understand her mindset?
He once thought Evelyn Lucas simply had a childlike admiration for him.
But once everything became clear, in retrospect, he realized Evelyn Lucas’s feelings for both him and Nolan Lucas had long twisted.
