Chapter 1027
Gable kept goading. “Listen, Luna. Even if your Uncle Clark and I can’t become the head of the family, having you take leadership is still much better than letting Helen do it!”
“Exactly! You have the candidacy as the next head of the Lane family too, and you have Madam Lang’s support. You’re certainly more than a match for Helen, and if she disappears on top of that…” Clark trailed off, his eyes narrowing with a knowing smile.
“Then I’ll be the head of the family…” Luna murmured to herself, her eyes lighting up with excitement as she smiled proudly.
“Exactly!” Gable nodded, affirming her ambition. “Your Uncle Clark and I both have your back!”
“Yes,” Clark kept beguiling Luna as well. “Once we get rid of Helen, we will take back control of our family!”
In reality, Clark and Gable did not actually have to worry-Luna hated Helen for so long, but she just kept it to herself because she did not have the opportunity.
Now that her uncles afforded her one-even promising her that she could become the head of the family, it was certainly the perfect chance for her.
In fact, she was already fantasizing about her uncles’ encouragement and promises.
Patting her chest, she assured them, “Don’t worry. I will lure Helen out anytime.”
Both Clark and Gable grinned in delight at Luna’s promise, a flicker of disdain showing in their eyes just now.
Naturally, Luna did not see anything as she was busy reveling in her fantasy of becoming the next head of the Lane family.
Once she left, Clark turned toward Gable. “Wait, we’re not really going to back that dumbass to become the next head of the family, right?”
“Oh, come on! Is that how low you think of me?”
Gable grinned, his gaze sinister as he spoke quietly, “We’re never leaving again now that we’re back.. Everything the family has will be ours. As for that dumbass? We’ll just get rid of her when we do the same with Helen. No one would be the Wiser.”
Clark gave Gable a thumbs up right then. “You’re amazing! The plan is really flawless!”
“Hahaha…”
–
While both Clark and Gable were laughing sinisterly over their perfectly laid plan, Luna called Helen excitedly as she was told, not knowing what they had planned.
“Hello, Helen. Grandpa wants to talk to you. Come over for a bit,” she said as soon as Helen answered, having thought of a script beforehand. “Granduncle is looking for me?” Helen asked in curiosity.
She had left Laneville and was returning to Lane Manor to check on her mother before returning home to Skywater Bay.
Luna’s call was certainly… unprecedented.
Still, she felt a little suspicious and frowned. “Shouldn’t your father be calling me if Granduncle is looking for me? Why are you calling instead?”
“What…” Luna panicked and snapped impatiently, “I don’t know. They’re all busy-come if you want. I don’t care!”
With that, she hung up and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, she was not exposed, though she did not know if she succeeded either.
That said, given how Helen was… she would be running back right away if Mark Lane asked, right?
