Evelyn Lucas was not unattractive; in fact, she exuded a seductive softness that could easily capture a man’s attention. However, the longer one looked at her, the harder it was to avoid a sense of fatigue and monotony.
At first glance, she might strike soone as stunning.
But when compared to Lily and Sylvia Scott, Evelyn Lucas instantly appeared cheap and vulgar.
Lily, young and vibrant, exuded a lively charm. Her upward-slanting almond-shaped eyes held a hint of allure yet retained an innocent sweetness.
As for Sylvia, she was undoubtedly the sa type of woman as Evelyn.
Only, compared to Sylvia, every ounce of Evelyn’s seductiveness and delicate beauty beca nothing more than the cheapest foil.
Her almond-shaped face, compared to Sylvia’s oval-shaped one, seed stingier and less refined.
Her slender eyes, in contrast to the charming allure effortlessly radiated by Sylvia’s upward-slanting almond-shaped eyes, fell short by several grades.
And her entire deanor, compared to Sylvia’s aura, was utterly ground into dust, leaving nothing behind.
Evelyn Lucas had never encountered a woman capable of completely overwhelming her in beauty and appearance like this.
Yet, Sylvia’s every gesture, every turn of her eyes, emanated a natural blend of seductiveness and nobility.
What struck Evelyn Lucas the hardest was the fact that, despite being significantly older, ti had left no trace on Sylvia’s face.
Evelyn Lucas couldn’t help but clench her fists, her nails digging fiercely into her palms.
Next to her, Nolan Lucas noticed his sister’s unusual state. He knew well that Evelyn had always been the most confident and sensitive about her appearance.
He looked at Sylvia and then at his sister...
Even though favoring an outsider over family might seem wrong, even Nolan felt that, compared to Sylvia, his sister was nothing more than a low-quality imitation.
"That’s my aunt..." At the sudden sight of Sylvia, Tania Scott was startled.
She instinctively stepped back.
"Don’t be afraid. She can’t do anything to you." Nolan Lucas gripped Tania Scott’s hand, soothing her.
Evelyn Lucas watched this scene unfold and a flicker of malice crossed her eyes.
She envied how her brother treated Tania Scott so tenderly, and she hated that woman Sylvia Scott, who had utterly outdone her.
Evelyn Lucas’s gaze shifted, her eyes flashing briefly, and a sche quickly ford in her mind.
Just then, Albert Lucas’s steady and authoritative voice interrupted, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let’s begin discussing Theodore’s return to the family..."
"Wait a mont!" Evelyn Lucas, who was not supposed to speak at this point, deliberately interrupted Uncle’s words.
"Evelyn, what are you doing?" Theodore Lucas, noticing the fiery determination in his daughter’s heart, tried to stop her in a hushed tone.
Now was a crucial mont, and even Theodore Lucas wouldn’t allow Evelyn to stir up trouble.
Unfortunately, Evelyn ignored Theodore’s attempt to restrain her. Taking matters into her own hands, she boldly stepped past Theodore and coyly addressed Albert Lucas, "Uncle, I apologize for interrupting your speech. But... as a junior and soone attending such a family assembly for the first ti, there’s a question that’s been bothering . If I don’t ask it, I might suffocate from holding it in."
Evelyn Lucas, though completely eclipsed by Sylvia, still held her natural beauty.
Her gentle, bashful deanor while asking questions, portraying the image of a shy younger relative, won over the elder family mbers led by Albert Lucas.
"Oh, what’s your question?"
Evelyn nodded. Her watery eyes timidly swept toward the seated Aidan Lucas and the others across from her.
She seed hesitant, as if she wanted to speak but couldn’t find the courage.
"It’s fine. Whatever question you have, feel free to ask. With the Head of the household here, I’d like to see who dares to gossip." The Head of the household suddenly stepped forward, speaking with deliberate emphasis as he glanced aningfully at Aidan Lucas and Emily Taylor.
"Thank you, Head of the household..." Evelyn looked at him with an expression of gratitude.
Then, with a soft voice, she said, "Actually, it’s just sothing that struck as odd, so I wanted to ask... Is it customary for the Lucas family’s clan gatherings to include outsiders? Um... I don’t an anything by it, I’m just curious. Because I rember that Aidan and his wife seem to have been divorced for quite a long ti now."
