Chapter 585 Foolish Carmen

The moment Heather and Carmen stepped into villa, they saw Stuart on a wheelchair.

"Heather, we meet again!" exclaimed Stuart excitedly as he greeted the woman with a big

smile.

Unsure how to respond to Stuart's eagerness, Heather froze a while.

Even though she would like to avoid offending the man since he was her second most generous benefactor, she did not know how to feel about the man after replaceing that he abused her trust by trying to drug her.

As much as Heather was angry at Stuart, she also wanted to take advantage of the man.

"Mom, why did you trick me to come over here to see him? Didn't you know that he almost ruined me by trying to drug me that day?" Heather questioned her mother straightforwardly right in front of Stuart. Carmen chuckled awkwardly to ease the tension before explaining, "Come on, Heather. Don't be rude. Stuart wanted you to come over just so that he could apologize to you personally."

"That's right, Heather. I know what I did that day was wrong, and it was foolish of me to even consider doing something so despicable. I only wanted to see you so that I could apologize sincerely to you in person, and I hope that you can replace it in your heart to forgive me," chimed in Stuart immediately after Carmen.

Still upset about what happened, Heather ignored the man completely since she knew she could no longer trust him. "I can't believe you lied to me to help him, Mom. Do yo care about me?" complained Heather as she glared at her mother.

"I have a good reason for doing this, Heather. Stuart really just wants to apologize to you."

"It's true, Heather. That's all I want. That's the only reason why I asked Carmen to help me bring you here," chimed in Stuart again nervously.

Heather then narrowed her eyes condescendingly at her mother. "I'm very disappointed in you, Mom. Again and again, you lied to me. Well, guess what? I'm not going to believe another word that comes out of your mouth again."

With that, Heather started walking toward the door.

Seeing how her daughter was ready to leave, Carmen worried that she would not get her one

million so she swiftly caught up to Heather. "Heather, want! I know I was wrong: In

DAVE fed to you. But I only did it for your sake. Stuart promised me that (E you. Ten

he'll continue to support you."

At that point, Stuart had already lost Heather's trust completely. Not only did she feel disgusted by the man, but she was also somewhat afraid of him.

"I don't need his support. He can keep it!" roared Heather after slapping away her mother's hand furiously.

In response to that, Carmen glared at her daughter. "Why are you acting this way? Stuart went through all this trouble just to apologize to you, and you repaid the man by acting like a petulant child. Don't be naive, Heather. Who in the world can claim that they've never made a mistake before? What matters now is that Stuart is willing to change."

After that, Carmen suddenly changed her tone. "Oh, come on! Since you're already here. anyway, why not listen to your mother for once? Just talk to Stuart, and I'm sure you two can resolve whatever misunderstanding you have like adults."

The two million was all Carmen could think about at that moment.

As long as her daughter was willing to accept Stuart's apology, she would receive the money she was promised. Since Stuart went through the trouble of drugging Heather, that must mean he's interested in her. If nothing else, it at least shows that Stuart is physically attracted to her. If the two managed to work things out, they might even end up together. Then, we'll finally have a reason to rid ourselves of Alex, that good-for-nothing. As a Jefferson, he was entitled to a fortune, but that idiot forfeited his right. I can't believe that someone can be that stupid. This just goes to show that our family would be much better off without him.

Besides the money, removing Alex from the picture was also one of Carmen's goals when she agreed to help Stuart.

Utterly disappointed at Carmen, Heather did not know what else to say to her mother.

She knew that Carmen was the kind of person with no moral compass whatsoever, but still, she did not expect her mother to betray her like that. Mom is well aware of how despicable Stuart is, and yet, she still thought it was a good idea to lie to me for the man. Unbelievable!

Heather then scoffed disdainfully at Carmen before pushing her mother out of her way.

Suddenly, Elvis, who had remained silent until then, grabbed Heather by the arm and smirked. "What's the hurry, young lady? Since you're already here, stay a while longer."

After sizing Heather up, Elvis noticed her slender legs and hourglass-shaped body. The woman had the perfect body shape to go with her angel-like face, making it difficult for Elvis to believe that she had given birth to a child before.

The man's heart started racing when he realized what a beauty he was beholding.
