Chapter 26: Threat

Sophia and Amelia walked from the new mansion to the old mansion. Amelia seemed to be stimulated. She was so shocked that Nora was Long. Amelia didn’t say anything arriving home. She sat on the couch without a word. The servants in the mansion held their breath for fear, afraid of offending the one who was an apple of Sophia's eyes. The whole living room was extremely quiet. Sophia sighed. She went forward and patted Amelia on the back of her hand, trying to comfort her. “I don’t think we can stop Lucas this time. Nora wants to work in his company. Just let her.” Sophia was also worried about this thing. But Lucas was so firm that she could do nothing but gave up. “Don’t be discouraged. You are gifted. In my opinion, you are still better than that long. You still can go to work in the company when everything is ready.” “If you can work together, you will have more chances to get along with each other.” Sophia comforted her softly. It seemed these words had been said into Amelia heart. Her eyes lit up. But there was still some dissatisfaction left in her heart. Why Nora Davis hid her talent? How could she design something so fantastic? It made her feel unconvinced. Most of all, she even praised her! Why she didn’t find it out when she investigated. She got the itch in her heart when she was thinking about it. ... Sophia and Amelia Morgan came with fire but went in a hurry. It was like the wind, but disappeared after the wave. However, Evelyn was casual. She wasn’t concerned. But it affected her appetite. She wanted to take a book from the bookshelf to kill time. Lucas looked at her calm but serious face. He suddenly felt a little guilty about her. “Nora Davis.” “Well?” Evelyn reached out with her hand in the air, turning around to see him. He was standing here, staring at her. She could not help frowning, seeing his complicated eyes. Lucas closed lightly lips. "Do not take it seriously. I should not have suspected you.” Evelyn looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to be so candid. She thought it would always be another one’s faults when things happened around this kind of prince like him. It was normal to suspect her. After all, Nora had done so many things which had left a bad impression in everyone’s mind. And she was the one who could design, not Nora Davis. “It is all right.” Evelyn smiled at him as if she did not care. This made Lucas frown and feel uncomfortable. After he looked at Evelyn carefully for a moment and felt as if she was really all right, he could be relieved. “Take some time to think over working in my company.” “All right.” Evelyn was willing to do it. So there was no need to decline. She would have to find a job sooner or later, and it was very promising if she could get in his company. Lucas paused. Then he said. "I’m going to the office." Evelyn was puzzled. Was he talking to her? Evelyn nodded at him, watching Lucas’ car leaving. Suddenly the phone rang. But after that, she felt that the servants were treating her differently. It seemed that they became a lot kinder. As she went upstairs, she picked up the phone. "Hello?" “It is me.” The distant voice of John Davis came from the phone. Hearing his voice, Evelyn frowned and took the phone away a bit. "Is that you? What is the matter?" “Why you are talking indifferently? I will meet you at noon today. I have something to tell you.” John seemed unhappy. Evelyn was nervous. She was reluctant to meet John. He warned her to keep in her place or threatened her every time they met. But mom's life was in his hands. She had no choice but to go. It was a long time before she said something. “Fine, where?" “Yunding Restaurant. Room name is Xiuzhu. Don’t be late!” Then John hung the phone off. Evelyn took a deep breath. She did not know why he was always so impatient with her. Howere he wasn't like this in front of Nora, even they were twins. After all these disappointments, she had lost faith in John. Time passed quickly. It was almost time for lunch. Evelyn had already dressed up and went downstairs to the restaurant on the first floor. “Mrs. Davis, shall we set the table now?” The servant asked curiously. There were some different rules for every master in the family about dining time. But Evelyn was an hour early today. “Yes.” Evelyn answered, though she was going to meet somebody later. But she was not in any hurry. She slowly finished lunch. Then she went to the place to meet John. It always ended up with a bad breakup or getting mad every time they ate together. There was no chance to getting full. Evelyn had learned a lot of experience. So she took precautions. Before she arrived, John was already there. He ordered many dishes. The table looked full with so many different dishes. What was his purpose? Evelyn frowned, looking directly at John sitting in the main seat. "What do you want from me? " She went straight to the subject. John did not hesitate to say. "I heard that Lucas is going to start a company? " “It’s true. What are you going to do?” Evelyn was confused. She didn’t know he would suddenly ask about Lucas. He used to call her out just to make sure she knew the situation and not took anything from Nora. Or be careful. This time he even asked about Lucas. But she knew that John did everything just for his own benefit. What he asked was definitely on purpose. Especially now, he was not even angry at her and his mood is very calm. Evelyn’s heart fluttered and her hand clenched. She didn’t know what John was going to do this time, Evelyn was full of caution for fear that she might fall behind if she was careless. John picked a dish to eat and said. "I want to become a shareholder in this company. " What was he talking about? As soon as Lucas wanted to start a company, he got the news and even wanted a part of it. Evelyn knew him. It was certainly not as simple as it. Well, he really looked up to himself, or he really had made himself a role as a father-in-law. Seeing Evelyn shocked, he added. "You remember to mention it in front of Lucas. After all, we are family.”
