The True Heiress's Return

hapter 299

Ten minutes later, under the escort of the men in black, they took the elevator to the presidential suite on the top floor of Rosewood Hotel.

In the middle of the living room, a lavish sofa was occupied by an elegant and sophisticated woman, though her face was filled with anger as she glared at Sean, who walked in sluggishly

Lucy felt her heart racing, curious about the woman's identity.

Eve grabbed the pillow next to her and tossed it at Sean's face. "You rascal. I knew there was something fishy about how eager you were for blind dates. You were totally playing both sides behind my back! "No wonder none of them worked out. You must have been the problem all along!"

Pretending to agree to the dates while secretly sabotaging them. It was a miracle any of them even had a shot.

Sean caught the pillow and stopped. With a skillful move, he placed the pillow under his knees and knelt on it with a thump.

His sliding kneel was perfectly executed. "Mom, I was wrong."

Eve sneered, not even sparing him a look. Instead, she turned sharply toward Lucy.

Lucy instinctively tensed, feeling incredibly guilty. "Hello, Mrs. Reynolds, I..."

"know you, Ms. Sullivan," said Eve.

Compared to the disdain she showed toward Sean, Eve's tone was slightly relaxed, but her face stayed stern with an authoritative look in her eyes. "You're the one who's been repeatedly helping my son ruin his blind dates, driving away all his potential partners." Lucy parted her lips slightly and was worried about causing trouble for herself. Just as she was about to deny it, Eve pulled out a checkbook, picked up a gold pen, and started writing with an air that left no room for refusal.

"Sean has been on thirteen blind dates. Here's 130 thousand dollars as a fee for your efforts. After this, please don't contact my son anymore," said Eve.

The man dressed in black took the check from Eve and handed it to Lucy. Lucy had never seen a check like this before, let alone received such a large amount.

Sean gave her 1,500 dollars, but Eve was even more generous. The fleeting thought of becoming Sean's girlfriend, or even his wife, had crossed her mind and now seemed more attainable, glowing with tempting allure. Lucy's eyes showed clear signs of greed.

She quickly stepped back, waving her hands in denial, looking at Eve with sincere eyes. "Mrs. Reynolds, you've misunderstood. I'm not helping Mr. Reynolds for the sake of money. I just want to help him so he won't be troubled by this." She finished her sentence with a shy, sweet smile.

Eve, who participated in various charitable activities, had seen that look in countless other eyes before. She blinked. "So, you're quite the altruistic girl, aren't you?"

Lucy's smile became even sweeter, tender, and gentle, giving the impression of being very close to Eve. "Mrs. Reynolds, you're so kind, and Mr. Reynolds is so charming. If there's anything you need, I would be more than happy to help both of you." Sean found her words a bit strange. This was the first time he'd met Lucy, and she was already acting so familiar.

Looking at her son standing there all awkward and dumbfounded, Eve felt very disdainful. She thought, 'When I was young, I was truly stunning with countless admirers, and I could always tell what they were thinking with just a glance. 'How did my son turn out like this? It must be his father affecting my excellent genes!'

With a slight smirk, Eve said casually, "Ms. Sullivan, this is my first time meeting you, and you're so polite."

Lucy, believing she had left a good impression on Eve, quickly responded, "Mrs. Reynolds, I felt an instant connection with you, like you're an aunt to me. You feel very familiar."

Eve asked, "Oh really."

Eve signaled to the man in black, saying, "In that case, I'll take back this check so as not to taint your pure

intentions."

Watching the check fly out of reach without even touching it, Lucy stared wistfully but still managed a slight nod. She kept convincing herself: 'It's just 13 thousand dollars. Once I become Sean's girlfriend, there'll surely be much more. Eve spotted all of Lucy's subtle expressions and secretly mocked her.

She turned her gaze back to Sean, who was kneeling on the ground, and let out a cold snort, "As for you, Sean.

"I've swallowed my pride to find you so many exceptional girls, and you dare to send them all running with your tricks. Handle this mess yourself!"

Sean replied, almost in tears, "Come on, Mom. This is just between us. Is it really necessary..."

Eve nodded. "Of course, it's necessary."

Eve didn't spare any mercy for Sean. "Your shamelessness is one thing, but don't drag my name through the mud. If I hadn't caught on, I'd be labeled as the mother of a brat in high society!"

Sean thought it wasn't a problem since he didn't care about reputation at all. But when he glanced up and saw Eve's intense warning look, he quickly backed down.

Sean said helplessly, "Alright, alright, whatever you say, Mom..."

If he dared to talk back, he'd have no peace for the rest of the year.

Eve was satisfied. "Good, it's your promise after all."

Eve leaned back on the couch lazily. "I'm going to contact an entertainment company to create a dating show. You'll be the main guy, and all these socialites you've let down will be the female guests to interact with you." Sean perked up his ears, feeling there was more to it. "Mom, weren't you asking me to apologize? Bringing them on a show as my guests seems more like I'm benefiting from them."

"What benefit? The show is for you to serve them and sincerely apologize. In the end, every one of them will turn you down, and the show will end with you staying single. It lets everyone vent, and the audience loves it!" Sean couldn't believe his ears.

He thought, 'Serving a group of girls and getting rejected by all of them in the end? How humiliating!

"The worst part is, that I was not the only one at fault. All those awful ideas came from Xanthe. So why do I have to suffer alone?'

Sean refused to give in like that, angrily standing up and marching toward Eve.

Looking at her son towering over her, Eve raised an eyebrow. "Rebelling, are you?"

One moment, Sean was all fierce, and the next, he was sitting beside Eve like a calm little squirrel.

Sean said, "Mom, I have my reasons."

Sean leaned in close to Eve's ear, speaking softly enough just for them to hear, with a playful glint, "Actually... I've got someone I like." Eve's lips twitched. "Don't tell me it's Ms. Sullivan."

Sean said, "It's her, but not exactly her."

Sean smacked his lips. "The one who helped me before was Xanthe. She's upset with me and didn't come this time. Instead, her cousin Lucy came."

Eve gave Lucy, who was glancing over, a knowing look and sighed in relief, "Phew, I thought you had no interest in anyone and ended up fancying an angelic bitch."

Sean suddenly realized. "No wonder she seemed odd, so this is what an angelic bitch feels like."

"Don't tell me you're deliberately using this method to get close to that girl?" Eve snorted.

"Only you understand me." Sean shrugged helplessly. "She doesn't like me. I had no other choice."

Eve smacked him on the head, feeling exasperated. "You've got the looks and the money. Just post selfies showing off your abs, shower her with gifts like bags and milkshakes, and occasionally send her money. "Stay consistent, and even if you can't win her heart, you'll surely shake up her worldview gradually."

Sean didn't know what to say.

He thought, 'You're honestly like my mom!"
