Chapter 304: Supporting Her
Second Aunt Evelyn Hart saw her daughter’s face turn deathly pale, looking completely terrified, and quickly stood up.
"Lucas, Clara is just talking nonsense, don’t take it to heart!"
"Talking nonsense?" Adrian Holt raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but scoff, "The way she speaks so righteously, as if she’s telling the truth, it doesn’t seem like nonsense at all."
Evelyn Hart hadn’t expected this nephew of hers to be so disrespectful to her face, and her smile stiffened for a moment.
"Lucas, we’re all one family, why must you be so aggressive?"
Adrian Holt clicked his tongue silently, with a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "One family? Because we’re family, you’re allowed to call my wife a jinx, but I’m not allowed to seek justice for her? To be family with you... truly is a loss."
Evelyn Hart hurriedly explained in panic: "That’s not what we mean, Lucas, you’re misunderstanding!"
Clara Shaw stood up from the stairs, glared at Serena Summers with a look of resentment, and said arrogantly, "Second Cousin Brother, I am your sister, do you have to interrogate me like this for an outsider? Even if I said those words, so what? Isn’t it the truth?"
Evelyn Hart’s expression changed, and she quickly covered Clara Shaw’s mouth, signaling her not to continue.
This foolish girl, it would have been fine to whisper such things in private, but to dare say them in front of Lucas Shaw.
