Chapter 1404


    “Besides…”


    Tiffany could see Bailey’s lips subtly curving upward into a smug smile as he continued, “Due to your


    unstable emotion, your poor health condition, the fact that you are having an advanced maternal age


    pregnancy and have just undergone a great hit, we’re concerned that you will be affected by your


    emotions and lead to suboptimal business decision making. As such, more than two third shareholders


    in the shareholders meeting just now have voted to temporarily revoke your management rights in the


    company. We’ll restore your position after you’re physically and emotionally recovered to ensure that


    you’ll be able to workpetently.”


    Cooper remained silent sitting beside her. Though this was disgusting and cruel news to Tiffany, he


    thought it was best for her to take a break at this moment especially after the major incident. On top of


    her pregnancy at an advanced maternal age, she had suffered a severe blow and could lose her child


    anytime. Moreover, she might not be able to hold herself back from seeking revenge against the


    Winstons.


    In Bayside City, the Adams Family was no match for Winston Family, the local tycoon. The Adams


    would be greatly undermined if the Winstons gained the upper hand; even if the Winstons failed to


    prevail, Cethos would not allow them to be defeated and might directly interfere by imposing sanctions


    against Adams Family.


    One was an insurancepany from overseas while the other was the local ruler of the underworld


    who maintained the order of Bayside City’s underworld. Cethos would certainly preserve thetter.


    With that, Cooper quickly cooed, “It’s okay, Tiffany. Lie down. Your health is of utmost importance and


    you can still go back to thepany after you’ve recovered.”


    However, Tiffany merely put on a bitter, vile, and hateful smile.


    “Bailey, so you’re implying that I’m not allowed to seek revenge for my daughter, and you’re even


    revoking my authority!”


    The Winstons had helped Bailey to get rid of Betsy and caused a huge blow to Tiffany. Then, Bailey


    had grasped the opportunity to quickly call for an urgent shareholders meeting and revoked her


    authority. True enough, this was Bailey’s typical approach. This fifteen-year-old youngd was


    extremely scheming and vicious, and he was an expert in exploiting opportunities and twisting the knife


    in one’s wound.


    Tiffany even suspected that this was a trap set up by Bailey and the Winstons.


    Besides suffering a huge blow from Betsy’s death, even her recent pregnancy, which she intended to


    keep a secret, was made known to Bailey. As such, Tiffany was in a precarious situation.


    In contrast to Tiffany’s distress and madness, Bailey remained calm and clear-headed.


    “Tiffany, I understand how you feel, but I have to take into consideration Adams Family and Adams


    Group as a whole too. Betsy has got only herself to me for her death, and the Winstons are already


    kind enough for not holding you ountable. In fact, you hold the greatest responsibility for Betsy’s


    incident. If you had listened to me earlier and kept her within bounds, she would not have been so bold


    to go after Harry’s son.”


    “Then, Adams Family and Adams Group would not have to pay for the consequences of your


    ipetence in disciplining your child. If you insist on demanding an exnation for Betsy’s death,


    please make a clean break with Adams Family and the group, and use your personal wealth to hire a


    lawyer for legal advice. The group and the family too will make an announcement as soon as possible


    to dere that we’re no longer connected to you anymore, and that we will not bear the consequence


    of your actions.”


    Nodding at the side, Cooper admired Bailey’sposure.


    He had totally put aside his personal emotions and acted in the best interest of thepany and the


    overall situation to reduce the damage to a minimum. His decision and judgement were precise to stop


    loss before it was toote. Besides, his thoughts were logical and coherent.


    Though he was indeed rubbing salt into the wound, he presented it in an imposing manner.


    However, Tiffany had a totally different point of view.


    Bailey did not do this for the sake of the family and thepany. He merely wanted to take this


    opportunity to permanently cast her out from her position of power in Adams Group.


    After speaking those words, Bailey turned around as he was ready to leave. “I’ll make a move first. The


    trouble that Betsy stirred up has caused a big mess in thepany, and I still have to go back to the


    company to give an exnation to numerous officers from the Cethosian government. After all, thest


    people who were as arrogant as Betsy are still on the snow mountain, and it is hard to even retrieve


    their bodies.”


    Obviously, he was referring to the twins from the Yard Family. It was confirmed that the two had


    perished but it was an arduous task to retrieve their bodies, which had yet to be brought back until now.


    The twins had abducted a child of the Fletchers while Betsy had abducted a child of the Winstons.


    While the Fletchers were a military family and owned military power, neither were the Winstons an


    impotent group.


    After exiting the ward, Bailey turned around and looked in Tiffany’s direction.


    She thought no one knew how the child was conceived, but in fact, Bailey was aware of everything.


    She wanted to deliver the child in secret.


    There was probably no one else on the earth, including Bailey Adams, who would desire the child to be


    born except Tiffany herself.


    There were only a few lineages left from the Adams’ direct family branch. The lineage of de had


    suffered a setback upon losing their only son, and their only offspring, L, was left to fend for herself.


    Now, Tiffany had lost her only daughter. The current situation was a golden opportunity for Bailey, and


    he would certainly not let it go.


    Walking out from the hospital, Bailey got into the car and made a call after pondering for a moment.


    “Hi, is this Lucile?”


    On the other end of the line, Sophia couldn’t believe her ears and looked at the number again to


    confirm it was Bailey.


    This is strange. Bailey actually called me?


    “Hey Bailey, who are you looking for? Carmen is not around today. She went to Winston’s.”

    Having no intention to beat around the bush, Bailey got straight to the point. “Don’t you wish to know


    how Tiffany got pregnant with her child?”


    Meanwhile, in the hospital, Tiffany finally realized that her current situation was fraught with danger.


    After Betsy died, Tiffany was admitted to the hospital. Due to the huge blow and her advanced maternal


    age pregnancy, her condition was unpleasant and could have a miscarriage anytime. Hence, she had


    to stay in bed and get sufficient rest.


    This was the perfect timing for Bailey toe after her. He would definitely take the chance to kill her


    andpletely wipe out her lineage.


    Feeling bitter, Tiffany subconsciously stroked her abdomen.


    I shouldn’t have forced myself to conceive this child.


    She was clearly aware of the risk associated with giving birth to this child at her age. Nevertheless, she


    had ignored the objection of the others and insisted on bing pregnant.


    Now that Betsy had died, this baby became her only child.


    However, she knew that Bailey would not allow this child to be born!


    Thinking of the child in her belly, Tiffany was reminded of Betsy’s horrific death. Blood boiling, she


    gnashed her teeth as she was filled with hatred and rage. With that, she could feel her abdomen throb


    with pain.


    All of a sudden, she grabbed Cooper’s arm who was sitting beside her as if she was clutching at a


    straw.


    “Cooper, my daughter has died just like that. You can’t just sit on your hands!”


    Though the Winston Family was powerful in Bayside City, Adams Family was not a pushover either.


    Tiffany was determined to take revenge on behalf of Betsy even at the cost of sacrificing the entire


    Cethos market.


    It would be a piece of cake to defeat the Winstons if Cooper was willing to assist her.


    Nheless, Cooper furrowed his brow as hepletely disagreed with Tiffany’s idea. “Tiffany, Betsy


    has already passed away. It was her fault after all. She shouldn’t have gone after a kid. Please stop


    thinking about taking revenge. Just take good care of yourself and the baby.”


    Staring at Cooper in shock and disappointment, Tiffany felt as if she had never known him.


    Even Cooper sided with the Winstons!


    Did her daughter deserve death then?
