Chapter 820 You Must Help Me
Hearing what Lucas said, Florence shook her head profusely in denial. “No! Don’t spout nonsense! “I gave birth to Cheyenne after a full pregnancy, and she’s the child I had with my lover. How could I possibly hate her? Don’t talk nonsense. You’re not me. How can you know what I think?”
But the way she was behaving now was different from when she was telling her story.
Lucas could still tell whether she was telling the truth or not.
“The reason is simple. In your heart, you still think that if you weren’t pregnant with Cheyenne, the man you loved wouldn’t have gone to look for your father because he was worried about your future. If he hadn’t gone to the Howards, he wouldn’t have been killed, and you wouldn’t have been so miserable.
“So you’ve always felt that Cheyenne is the culprit, and your feelings for her are very complicated. Maybe you used to love her a little, but you hate her even more!
“If there’s someone in front of you who can help you take revenge on the condition that you give up your daughter and sacrifice her lifelong happiness, you definitely wouldn’t hesitate to agree. In your eyes, revenge is the most important thing, while Cheyenne is just a child you wish was dead long ago.”
With a look of contempt, Lucas slowly revealed Florence’s true feelings.
“Since you’ve never loved Cheyenne and actually hate her so much, why should I help you take revenge?
“I can pretend I never heard what you said today, and I won’t say a word about it to the Howards. It’s up to you if you want to take revenge or whatever.
“But I hope you won’t show up in front of me and Cheyenne again,” Lucas said firmly.
Although he sympathized with Florence’s life experience, he would never allow her to make use of Cheyenne.
He would rather Cheyenne never reconcile with Florence in her life than allow her to be harmed by Florence.
“No! What makes you… think so?
“Who are you to forbid me from appearing in front of Cheyenne again? I’m her biological mother! Even you don’t have the right to stop me from seeing her!
“Also, who are you to speculate on what I think? What do you know about me? Can you understand my feelings?!”
Florence shouted frantically, no longer looking like the noblewoman from before. Instead, she was just like a shrew now.
Lucas remained unmoved and said calmly, “I don’t want to meddle with your affairs. But if you want to use Cheyenne and hurt her, I will never allow it!
“If you insist on pulling Cheyenne into your vortex of revenge, I will pay you back in your own coin and reveal all your plans to your father, the helmsman of the Howards whom you hate and fear.
“If he learns that you hate him so much and that you’re seeking revenge against him and want to take away the Howards from him, I’m sure he won’t let you get what you want!”
Lucas’s voice was extremely calm. But his threat was like a basin of ice water pouring down on Florence’s head, causing her to calm down instantly.
Indeed, if Lucas told her father what she just said, given his desire to be in control, he would never let her off!
In this person’s eyes, she was not his biological daughter but just a pawn that he could discard at any time. She was certain that he wouldn’t show her any mercy!
The thought of it made Florence’s heart overwhelmed by fear.
She raised her tear-stained eyes, which resembled Cheyenne’s, and gazed at Lucas pitifully. “Lucas, no matter what, you’re my son-in-law, and I gave birth to your wife. Do you really have no regard for all this and want to watch me die?
“Do you know that if I fail to complete the task the family gave me this time, I will be severely punished, and even the little power I hold will be taken away!
“If that happens, my goal of taking over the Howards and getting rid of that man will be even more impossible to achieve!”
“Do you want me to remain as a pawn in someone else’s hands for the rest of my life? If Cheyenne knew what happened to me, she definitely wouldn’t stand by and watch her mother suffer, would she?
“Lucas, can’t you help me on Cheyenne’s account? This is clearly a cooperation that will benefit the both of us!”
Florence persuaded earnestly, playing the sympathy and kinship cards. She even mentioned Cheyenne.
Lucas remained unmoved. “I already said that I won’t let Cheyenne get involved. You can solve the grudge between you and your father yourself. You haven’t cared about Cheyenne for so many years, and now, you can continue to pretend that she doesn’t exist. You don’t have to think about her again.. You’re on your own now.”
With that, Lucas moved his hand to the handle of the car door, wanting to leave.
“No! No, you can’t! I won’t allow it!” Florence suddenly screamed hysterically. “You can’t ignore me! You have to help me!
“I can kill or do anything for the sake of revenge! You know it!
“If you refuse to help me, I will go to Cheyenne and talk to her personally! She is a kind girl, and she definitely won’t leave me alone after knowing that her biological father died so tragically and her biological mother suffered so much!”
This was Florence’s threat to Lucas.
Lucas’s face immediately darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. “If you dare to do that, I won’t spare you!”
Florence laughed. “You want me to shut up and disappear? What can you do? Lock me up or kill me?
“No, these things are impossible now! Cheyenne already knows about my existence, so you can’t make me disappear anymore!
“Moreover, even if you want to shut me up, I have long made arrangements. Even if I disappear, someone will find Cheyenne and relay my message to her! You can’t stop me unless you can stay by Cheyenne’s side for the rest of your life and never leave her for a minute. But is that possible?”
Florence laughed hysterically.
Regardless of whether Lucas was willing to help her or not, she had to get him to agree. He was the best help she could find right now!
“You’d better give me a clear answer before nighttime today. Otherwise, I will reveal everything to Cheyenne. Think it through carefully!”
