“No. Don't use LG Corporation's funds. Get the money from my personal bank account. Don't letanyone know about this, especially Mrs. Gezmond. Do you hear me?”
“Yes, Mr. Gezmond. I'll get it done.”
In a guest room in Tarragon's branch, Yvette was on the phone. “When are you going to act?”
On the other end of the phone, Sofie answered, “Tomorrow. You come up with an excuse to say youneed to shop. My men will disguise themselves as assassins from the Saviors to assassinate you.You'll just have to suffer some light injuries.”
Yvette went silent. A vicious glint flashed across her eyes when a cunning scheme came into her mind.“I have a condition.”
“What is it?”
“I'll ask Holden's sister, Shannon, to go out with me tomorrow. Get your men to kill her and frame theSaviors. Holden and Micah will definitely release their wrath upon the Saviors.”
Sofie smiled in response. “Sure. As long as you can get Shannon to go out with you, I'll get my men tokill her.”
“Okay. That's a deal, then. You can make your move once I confirm the meeting venue with Shannon.Remember, I want Shannon dead.”
“All right. I have nothing to do with that woman. I'm not going to feel bad about her death. I'll get rid of
her.”
Later that afternoon, Zeke arrived at the Luther residence in a hurry. He was only allowed to see Baileyafter Felicity was done showing him her displeasure.
In the bedroom, Bailey was on the phone, telling the people from the foundation to purchase disasterrelief supplies across the country and send the needed supplies to the affected area as soon aspossible.
Upon entering the room, Zeke closed his eyes and took a rest on the couch.
After Bailey hung up her phone, Zeke asked with his eyes closed, “Bay, didn't we say the Shurmerfamily is going to hold a press conference in a few days' time and tell everyone that you're the Shurmerfamily's eldest daughter? Why are you refusing to return to the Shurmer family all of a sudden?”
Bailey was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window. She flashed a half-smile and looked at Zekewhile raising her brows. “What do you think about the Shurmer family acknowledging me as an adopteddaughter?”
Zeke, who was usually polite, couldn't help but curse, “What the f*ck is there to think about? Are youstill worried about Zoey? Are you worried that she'll become everyone's target once you return to theShurmer family?”
Bailey let out a sarcastic chuckle in response. A cold glint flashed across her eyes as she asked, “Doyou think I will still treat Zoey with compassion after she and the father-and-daughter duo from theJefferson family caused me to have a miscarriage?” novelbin
“In that case, why are you...” Zeke paused and furrowed his brows. “Did someone come to the Lutherresidence to look for you? Did that person force you to return to the Shurmer family as an adopteddaughter? Who was it? Was it my dad or my mom?”
Bailey was briefly stunned. I didn't expect Zeke to be so sharp. He figured it out!
“That's not important. What's important is that I don't want to return to the Shurmer family. Frankly, Idon't mind not having biological parents. Don't worry. The Luthers won't turn their backs on me.”
“Tell me! Who came to look for you?” Zeke raised his voice, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.
Bailey turned away. “The matter has been decided. Don't ever bring it up again. Although I'm notreturning to the Shurmer family, you're still my brother. There's no difference.”
No difference? If she doesn't return, she'll forever be labeled as an illegitimate child! There's a hugedifference! Zeke was getting impatient. “You're not going to tell me, are you? Fine. I'll go home and askthem myself. I want to find out who of them would make such a ridiculous suggestion as a parent.”
With that, Zeke rose to his feet and walked toward door.
Bailey immediately chased after him when she saw that. “Zeke, stop it. I'm fine. Don't make a big dealout of this.”
Zeke halted in his tracks and turned back to glare at her. He placed both his hands on her shouldersand fumed, “Why can't you just fight for yourself? Why must you be so kind? You're always soconcerned about them, but they have never once cared about you. Everyone in the world is fighting for
themselves, so why must you be different? Are you really willing to be known as an illegitimate child forthe rest of your life?”
Bailey blinked, and her eyes turned watery.
“Damn it.” Zeke wiped her tears away. “Don't cry.”
“You're being mean to me.”
Zeke didn't know what to say, so he pulled her into his embrace, then placed his hand on the back ofher head and tightened the hug. “All right, don't cry. I won't force you. But can you please just do aswe've planned and return to the Shurmer family? Dad and I hold a lot of power. We'll be useless if wecan't even protect you.”
Bailey let out a sigh and mumbled gloomily, “It was your mom. She came to look for me and told me toeither be an adoptive daughter or Zoey's twin sister. She is adamant about not telling everyone thatZoey is adopted.”
Mom is so foolish. Zeke frowned slightly in response. “I'm in charge of the Shurmer family, so she can'tmake decisions for the family. Don't listen to her. Leave everything to me. I'll give you a glamorousreturn to the Shurmer family.”
“And then what?” Bailey stared into his eyes. “If you go against your mom, you're going to causedisharmony in the family. Let it be, okay? I don't want the Shurmer family to turn chaotic because ofme.”
