The True Heiress's Return

Chapter

300

Seeing her son looking so clueless, Eve suddenly realized why he was still single despite his good looks.

She thought, 'What's the point of being sharp at work if his mind is blank when it comes to romance? How is he supposed to win a girl's heart like that?' Eve rubbed her temples and let out a deep sigh.

On the other side, Lucy couldn't hear their conversation, so she scanned the room with her eyes.

The luxurious suite at Rosewood Hotel, which cost a hundred thousand a night, featured alabaster marble floors and a dining table with a surface costing tens of thousands according to some online videos she had seen. The floor-to-ceiling windows behind the sofa and the lavish decorations from luxury brands all displayed extravagance.

This was the kind of life Lucy never dared to dream of. Yet here it was, suddenly within her reach.

Lucy thought, 'I'm prettier than Xanthe and way more agreeable. Why should I have less than her? Just because she was born into a rich family with a dad who knows how to make money?

'As long as I find a man who can earn more money, I can live more freely than Xanthe!'

Those long-hidden greedy desires, buried deep in her heart, began to grow wildly now that they had a glimmer of hope.

Sean stood up from where he was, and Lucy quickly hid her little thoughts, standing obediently in place with a serene smile on her face, looking at Eve. Eve's eyes subtly swept over Lucy's face before pulling away. She snorted, "If you don't like blind dates, then I'm too lazy to find a match for you. Do whatever you want."

Sean gave a deep bow. "Mom, you are so wise!"

Eve glared at him and then turned to Lucy. "Ms. Sullivan."

Lucy quickly responded, "Mrs. Reynolds, you can just call me Lucy."

Eve kept a distant attitude. "Ms. Sullivan, you are just here at your cousin's request to help out. You don't really know Sean, so there's no need to be so familiar."

Lucy's expression froze, and she was visibly awkward and embarrassed.

Eve showed little concern for protecting Lucy's dignity, instructing the man in black to escort her out, and then she got up to walk to her room. Sean didn't linger either, striding outside as well.
