Chapter 1755


    “Sorry, I’m not quite following you.” Rosalynn’s voice was cool. “But I did hear about the gang wars on


    your end. So? The Hunt family, who’s been under the Jared family’s wing for two generations, is now


    on the brink of copse without our support?”


    Lucia’s face reddened with rage. She nced at Hunt, who had lost an arm in an attack earlier that


    day.

    At first, Lucia had just wanted to use Hunt for her own revenge.


    But over the past couple of months, no matter how much Hunt had been oppressed or betrayed, he


    had steadfastly dered he wouldn’t abandon her.


    Lucia had loved many men in her life, but no man had loved her like Hunt had.


    She just couldn’t bear to see Hunt end up dead and dismembered because of her.


    “If I died, would the Jared family start backing Hunt again?” Lucia asked.


    Rosalynn chuckled after hearing this. “Mrs. Hunt, we’ve been through this plot already. Hunt rejected


    the Jared family’s trade-off proposal”


    “So what do you want me to do to spare Hunt?” Lucia demanded angrily. “Rosalynn, do you really think


    you’re meless? After all, Heatherway and Robert are dead, you’re unscathed, and even Wayne, who


    disappeared, has returned! What else could you possibly want? What more do you need to vent?”


    Once Lucia had finished her rant, Rosalynn calmly said, “Lucia, we’re adults. You should know that


    everyone’s current situation is their own doing. The Jared family did a lot for Hunt, but he took it for


    granted, even looked down on Hria who supported his rise to power. This is why, even without you,


    Hunt would lose the Jared family’s support. And if Hunt crashes and burns after losing their support,


    gets reced by another gang, it just shows that Hunt is essentially impotent. The Jared family won’t


    back a useless traitor.”


    “Fine!” Lucia spat out viciously. “If you’re not nning to leave us a way out, then we’re sworn enemies.


    Bring it on!”


    As Lucia hung up the phone, Rosalynn thought she heard a man’s pained, hoarse voice on the other


    end, calling Lucia’s name.


    Rosalynn calmly dialed Hria after hanging up.


    I’m chatting with Ivy about her little crabs. Hria answered, sounding cheerful.


    “Ivy has really rxed these past few days. She’s been having a st, but I’m just worried that when


    the vacation is over and we have to go back, she won’t want to leave, Rosalynn said with a hint of


    helplessness.


    If she likes the house that much, we can just buy one in H City.” Hria suggested generously. “At


    dinner, Jaime was telling me he wants to move to a bigger estate”


    “There are plenty of big estates, but that would make it inconvenient for Cory and Ivy to go to school,


    Rosalynn answered.


    “We’ll figure something out,” Hria said, then quickly changed the subject. “You didn’t call just to chit-


    chat, did you?”


    “Lucia, Heatherway’s mom, called me,” Rosalynn answered.


    “Lucia?” Hriaughed coldly. “With the way she’s been talking, I thought she didn’t know the meaning


    of the word ‘fear”.”


    Hriaughed again. “She’s scared of me, the stern Mrs. Jared. She knows you’re a pushover, so she


    doesn’t dare call me, only pesters you. What a wimp


    Rosalynn chuckled at Hria’s sense of humor.


    “Hria, is your end goal to kill Hunt and Lucia?” Rosalynn asked.


    “I’ve said it before, if Hunt is willing to give up all his powers and leave Lucia, this matter could be


    resolved. Unfortunately, Hunt is neither willing to give up his powers nor leave his woman. He insists on


    ying tough. What can I do?” Hria’s voice was cold.


    Since finding Gabrie and having Cory and Ivy, Hria’s mindset had changed significantly


    In the past, would she have given Hunt a choice? Would she have let Hunt cling to life for over two


    months? Hria would have cracked down hard and dealt with it quickly.
