The True Heiress's Return

hapter 299

Ten minutes later, under the escort of the men in black, they took the elevator to the presidential suite on the top floor of Rosewood Hotel.

In the middle of the living room, a lavish sofa was occupied by an elegant and sophisticated woman, though her face was filled with anger as she glared at Sean, who walked in sluggishly

Lucy felt her heart racing, curious about the woman's identity.

Eve grabbed the pillow next to her and tossed it at Sean's face. "You rascal. I knew there was something fishy about how eager you were for blind dates. You were totally playing both sides behind my back! "No wonder none of them worked out. You must have been the problem all along!"

Pretending to agree to the dates while secretly sabotaging them. It was a miracle any of them even had a shot.

Sean caught the pillow and stopped. With a skillful move, he placed the pillow under his knees and knelt on it with a thump.

His sliding kneel was perfectly executed. "Mom, I was wrong."

Eve sneered, not even sparing him a look. Instead, she turned sharply toward Lucy.

Lucy instinctively tensed, feeling incredibly guilty. "Hello, Mrs. Reynolds, I..."

"know you, Ms. Sullivan," said Eve.

Compared to the disdain she showed toward Sean, Eve's tone was slightly relaxed, but her face stayed stern with an authoritative look in her eyes. "You're the one who's been repeatedly helping my son ruin his blind dates, driving away all his potential partners." Lucy parted her lips slightly and was worried about causing trouble for herself. Just as she was about to deny it, Eve pulled out a checkbook, picked up a gold pen, and started writing with an air that left no room for refusal.

"Sean has been on thirteen blind dates. Here's 130 thousand dollars as a fee for your efforts. After this, please don't contact my son anymore," said Eve.

The man dressed in black took the check from Eve and handed it to Lucy. Lucy had never seen a check like this before, let alone received such a large amount.

Sean gave her 1,500 dollars, but Eve was even more generous. The fleeting thought of becoming Sean's girlfriend, or even his wife, had crossed her mind and now seemed more attainable, glowing with tempting allure. Lucy's eyes showed clear signs of greed.

She quickly stepped back, waving her hands in denial, looking at Eve with sincere eyes. "Mrs. Reynolds, you've misunderstood. I'm not helping Mr. Reynolds for the sake of money. I just want to help him so he won't be troubled by this." She finished her sentence with a shy, sweet smile.

Eve, who participated in various charitable activities, had seen that look in countless other eyes before. She blinked. "So, you're quite the altruistic girl, aren't you?"

anything you need, I would be more than happy to help both of you." Sean found her words a bit strange. This was
