The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel 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 collapse without our support?"

Lucia's face reddened with rage. She glanced 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 declared 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 blameless? 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 Hilaria 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 replaced 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 planning 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 Hilaria after hanging up.
