Chapter 962 No Way To Escape (1/2)

Carla sat up and pulled the bed cover aside when she overheard what Lucia was saying to Carol.

Little did she expect that Steven would stop her as she was about to stand up.

”You shouldn't move too much Carla, you're still very sick. Don't worry, I'll see what's going on.”

Steven turned around and went outside after he let her lay down in bed.

When he opened the door, Carol was fighting with Carlota while Lucia just stood aside watching them.

When Lucia saw that Steven had come out, she forgot about the other two women and immediately walked to him with a smile.

”Steven! I'm so glad to see you.”

Steven closed the door behind him and turned to Lucia. ”Lucia, you know very well that this is your grandfather's house, not yours. The fact that you've brought people here to make trouble is quite insensitive and callous. Tell me that I'm wrong.”

As Lucia heard his words, she easily concluded that Carla was in the house.

Lucia's joy turned into frustration as she thought about it. ”You are trying to defend her again, aren't you?

You surely can remember what I told you once. Feel free to remind her to start being careful. I can't even believe that she's challenging me for the throne. She's noting but the daughter of the family traitor.

You're wise, Steven. You still have an opportunity to clear your head and change your mind. Smart people will follow the right leader. Carla's undoubtedly going to be crushed by me. Your only reasonable move is to choose to be on my side.”

Lucy walked towards him and lay her hand on his shoulder. ”You still have time to make up your mind. And when you do, just let me know and get back to me quickly before I change my mind. And do it quickly.”

She had never had him by her side and he had never shown any interest in her. That's why she wanted him like crazy.

Steven moved her hand away from him as he looked straight at her. ”I've never felt the need of having someone else as my backup. As a proud man, I need no woman to support me.

I urge you to stop Carlota. She's making a mess and a fool of herself. This place is under the charge of Sir Arthur. The last thing he wants is to have people fighting in his house. He doesn't like displays of misbehavior like this at all.

If she causes more trouble, you shouldn't assume that she will get away with it.”
