"Five years... You ungrateful child, don't push your luck!" Theodore Lucas roared in fury, about to rise from his seat.
Tara Hammond, who was kneeling beside him, suddenly lunged forward to grab him.
"Theodore, don't..." Tara pleaded, shaking her head at Theodore Lucas, her eyebrows knit with sorrow, "It's not easy for you to return to the Lucas family, don't provoke him!"
Her deliberate words only made Aidan Lucas appear even more cold-hearted and uncompromising.
For Tara, now was the perfect time to play the victim. The colder and harder Aidan Lucas was, the more she and Nolan, along with Evelyn, would seem sensible and pitiable.
Evelyn Lucas, true to being Tara Hammond's daughter, immediately darted forward to grab hold of her as soon as she saw her crying and clinging to Theodore Lucas.
"Father, I'll go to Azure Dragon Temple, I'll go on your behalf... Five years isn't that long anyway. As long as it means you and my brother get what you rightfully deserve, I don't mind!"
