Chapter 360: What Was Left Behind
These words were like a sudden clap of thunder out of nowhere, leaving both Evelyn Clayton and Yara Reagan somewhat stunned.Violet Ford chuckled softly, "No worries, no coercion. I was just thinking that given your long-standing grudge with her, whether your Gem can thrive in the future depends not only on your abilities but also on whether you have support; even so, you have to watch out for people secretly plotting against you."
Evelyn instantly grasped Violet’s implication, her smile receding slightly, "Sister Violet means to take us there to give Summer Monroe a show of force?"
"Evelyn, you’re so clever." Violet smiled brightly, "So, how about it, shall we go together?"
Looking at Violet’s smiling face, Evelyn’s heart sank somewhat.
At this moment, Evelyn suddenly understood.
The main purpose of Violet’s return this time is to intimidate Summer Monroe and help her brother, while partnering with Yara and me is just a prelude to these two objectives.
Becoming someone else’s stepping stone is not a pleasant experience.
But Evelyn knew they didn’t have the right to refuse.
Within seconds, Evelyn revealed her smile again, responding flawlessly: "Of course. After all, Director Monroe is part of your family, Sister Violet, and it’s only proper for you to see your family while partnering with us."o Yara, then lightly clinked glasses with her.
"Whether she looks up to us or not, the road to success is always fraught with bumps and turns. Compared to those who suffer disdain and neglect and the bitter ones of the human world, our path is already quite smooth."
After speaking, Evelyn drank all the wine in her glass with a smile.
Yara also drank it all in one gulp and couldn’t help but laugh, "You sound like a success guru."
Evelyn smiled gently, "I’ll take your good words, and hopefully, we’ll have success in the future. Whether we become a master of it, well, let’s see."
With that, the two girls couldn’t help but laugh.
"Alright, back to business," Yara said with some seriousness, "What do you think will happen when we meet Summer Monroe today?"
Evelyn poured herself another glass, her lips curling up, "It’s quite simple. Although Violet is the eldest sister of The Ford Family and holds shares in the family, with Franklin Ford as her biological brother, the two siblings united, perhaps their strength is not enough to contend with the current Summer Monroe."
Yara was astonished, "Is Summer Monroe that formidable? I heard that Thorne Holdings under her name was already acquired by James Grant——"
She stopped midway, quickly closing her mouth with an apologetic expression.
Evelyn waved her hand, signaling it was okay.
"That’s not the point. I suspect the reason the Ford siblings are wary of Summer Monroe is very likely related to Felix Ford."
"Perhaps, Felix Ford left something back then, which is why Summer Monroe is so fearless, holding sway over The Ford Family for years, with no one able to shake her."
