Revenge Of The Rogue Heiress novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 

Bradley was speechless, his face livid with anger. He pointed at Dexter, who remained calm and composed, but after a long while, he couldn’t utter a single word. 

“Do you have anything else to say?” Dexter asked lightly. “If not, I’ll head back to my room.” 

Bradley waved his hand in resignation. “Forget it, just go.” 

Dexter immediately stood up and left the study. A while later, the door to the study opened again, and Laura walked in. 

Noticing that Dexter wasn’t in the room, she walked further in and asked, “Honey, have you sorted things out with Dexter?” 

Bradley sighed and shook his head, “I brought up the idea of helping Evangeline find a partner, and although he didn’t oppose it, he said that if he couldn’t bear it, he’d end his own life. How can I possibly introduce someone to Evangeline now?” 

so deep 

Laura’s expression changed. She hadn’t realized Dexter’s dependence on Evangeline was se that he would say something like that. 

“How did it go on your end? If Evangeline agrees, we need to tell her not to consider finding someone for now,” Bradley said. 

Laura responded gloomily, “She didn’t agree. She said she hadn’t thought about dating or marriage, and she even threatened that if we forced her, she’d cut ties with us. 

Bradley nodded. “That’s great.” 

Laura frowned and asked with concern, “But if we let things continue like. romantic feelings for each other? What if something happens between them? 

what if they develop 

“They’re twenty years old, yet they’re still inseparable almost every day. Their rooms are even connected. I’m worried…” 

Bradley shook his head. “Let things run their course. We can’t risk losing our son over this.” 

Laura looked conflicted. “But Evangeline has no social standing or family connections. If Dexter really chooses her, she won’t be of any help to him. It’s the worst possible option, Moreover, she’s still our daughter in name. If they really end up together, it would ruin our reputation.” 

The more she spoke, the more distressed she became. Bradley sighed and said, “All of that only matters if Dexter is alive. If he doesn’t even want to live, what’s the point of worrying about any of this? 

Laura fell silent. Bradley continued, “Evangeline isn’t as bad as you made her out to be. We watched her grow up. Even though she’s straightforward and doesn’t understand the art of flattery or the intricacies of business, she has a good character and treats Dexter well.

“And she’s not entirely without value. She has high combat ability and can protect Dexter, ensuring he won’t fall victim to any schemes. 

“In a family like ours, danger is always looming. Having someone by your side who can ensure your safety is more valuable than anything. 

“If someone had been there to protect Dexter seventeen years ago, he wouldn’t have been kidnapped and spent seven years suffering in the outside world.” 

Remembering the past, Laura felt a wave of pain, her eyes turning red. 

Dexter was her and Bradley’s only child. When he was kidnapped at just under three years old, they were thrown into despair and cried every day. 

Her prolonged search for Dexter, combined with her overwhelming grief damaged her health to the point where she can no longer bear children. Dexter became their only child. 

Now, they were terrified of anything happening to him. 

As a result, over the years, they had done their best to fulfill any requests Dexter made. 

Laura wiped the tears from her eyes and said in a choked voice, “But Evangeline is too unforgiving of wrongdoing and intolerant of even the smallest mistakes. No matter how close someone is to her, if they make a mistake, she holds a grudge. 

“If the mistake isn’t too serious and the person is close to her, she might give them one or two chances. But once they cross her line, she treats them like a stranger or even an enemy. 

“We’re her adoptive parents, and we only wanted to introduce her to some potential partners, yet she calmly said she’d sever ties with us. 

“She’s too cold–hearted. If she and Dexter end up together and Dexter ever makes a mistake or does something to upset her, she won’t make an exception for him either. She’ll distance herself from him, maybe even treat him as an enemy…” 

Evangeline actually had friends growing up. She was beautiful and good at fighting, which attracted. other kids. But children are often mischievous and make mistakes. Whenever they did, Evangeline would cut ties with them immediately. Apologies didn’t work; if they pestered her, she’d beat them until they were too scared to come near her. 

Laura knew that Evangeline’s attitude was a result of growing up in harsh conditions from a young age, and it was this very attitude that had helped her survive. 

But this kind of personality wasn’t suited for life in high society or the business world. 

and When dealing with people from high society, where interactions are often marked by pretense diplomacy, and in the business world, characterized by deceit and scheming rivalry, people must wear masks and engage in feigned cordiality while exchanging toasts. They had to keep smiling and act friendly with the person who had stabbed them, as long as there was still mutual benefit. Evangeline would never be able to do that. She was intolerant even of her family, let alone of

Bradley said, “Given how dependent Dexter is on Evangeline, he won’t do anything to make her angry enough to sever ties with him. Stop worrying 

Laura gritted her teeth and said, “Everyone makes mistakes in life. Dexter might not make any now, but that doesn’t mean he won’t ever. 

Bradley looked at her and asked seriously. “Do you want to lose Dexter now?” 

Laura didn’t reply, her dignified, elegant face flushed with frustration.
