Chapter 666 No Room for Pretenders
No wonder Holt had always been so vague about her position in the Tom family.
Look at the tricks she used–cheap, low–class theatrics.
Stella let out a cold laugh. “If that’s what she wants, then let her do it.”
She’d barely even seen Mona a handful of times in her life. She owed the Tom family nothing, and there was no reason to show mercy now.
The maid bowed and left.
The butler turned to Stella. “Madam Tom likely isn’t just here about Kelly.”
“I know. Gary–her son.”
If Mona had really cared about Kelly, she’d have come long ago.
For her to show up now, it had to be more than that. Something had happened to the Tom family- something big enough to affect Gary.
When the message reached Mona outside, she was so shocked she didn’t believe it.
“She really said that?”
Her voice turned sharp, eyes going cold.
The maid nodded. “Exactly those words. So you’re welcome to stay out here as long as you like.”
Mona was stunned.
That little brat–who did she think she was?
She was just a foster daughter in the Dawson family. So what if she was marrying Abraham? That didn’t give her the right to act so high and mighty.
Her fists clenched as her thoughts turned to her daughter Kelly… and her son Gary.
The Dawson family had crushed the Tom family without mercy.
The maid watched her fume and spoke again. “Madam Mona, if you really go through with this, the entire city will be laughing at you.”
She wasn’t wrong.
Mona froze.
Her breathing quickened. She turned a sharp glare toward the maid–only to be interrupted.
Evelyn’s car pulled up at just that moment. She frowned and tapped the driver’s shoulder. “Stop the car.”
The vehicle rolled to a stop–right beside Mona.
The window slid halfway down.
Evelyn looked her way. “That look in your eye–who exactly were you planning to devour?”
Mona’s face went stiff when she saw who it was.
But she quickly forced her expression back into something pleasant. “Evelyn.”
Why was this woman here now?
She didn’t dare cross Madam Lorette. Everyone in Falvaria knew she ruled half the social scene.
Evelyn didn’t look amused. “You still haven’t answered me. That look–who was it meant for?”
