Chapter 500


    That was the brotherly love that showed he epted her and recognized her as his own sister.


    Feeling warm on the inside, Bailey could sense her eyes tearing up.


    It turned out that she craved familial love more than she thought.


    Bailey had never known what it was like to be protected and loved by a family member for so many


    years, so she thought she would never find out.


    Unexpectedly, after all the hardships she had gone through, fate decided to grant her what was most


    important to her, familial love.


    Even though Bailey did not even dare to hope for a brother before, she finally had one standing right in


    front of her. How wonderful!


    Perhaps because Bailey had stared too long, Zeke instinctively lifted his head to meet her gaze and


    saw gentleness in her eyes, which could not help but have tears rolling out of them.


    Bailey was more than d to have finally found her brother.


    “Don''t be afraid. No one cany a finger on you as long as I''m around,” promised Zeke with a smirk


    after approaching Bailey to stand before her.


    When Bailey heard that, she broke into an adorable smile.


    The look in Zeke''s eyes softened even more as he reached out to pat Bailey gently on the head and

    gazed at her angelic smile. This is my sister. Only a woman as gracious as her is fit to be the daughter


    of the Shurmer family.


    “Thank you. I''m d you coulde today,” voiced Bailey.


    “We shouldn''t talk here; we''ll continueter,” responded Zeke, smiling.


    With that, he turned to give the collectors below the stage a look.


    “Lina, you impersonated Master Vespera and had me auctioning fakes, which cost me millions. You


    can be sure I''ll hold you responsible,” uttered one of the collectors immediately.


    “Don''t forget about me. I spent tens of millions to buy three pieces from you, and it turned out that two


    of them were fake. You mustpensate me for my loss.”


    “Lina, I supported you because I trusted you, and what did you do? You trampled our trust by


    impersonating Master Vespera and tricking us. Someone as vile as you should be reflecting on yourself


    in a prison cell.”


    “Send her to jail.”


    “Send her to jail.”


    Lina then sunk into her chair again with her face as grim as death. I''m done for! Not only is my


    reputation ruined, but I''ll probably also be sent to prison. No, I can''t go to jail. I refuse to go!


    After jumping to her feet, Lina hurried over to kneel before Bailey. “I know I was wrong, Ms. Jefferson. I


    really do, so please forgive me. If you let me go, I''ll never do it again.”


    In response, Bailey let out a sigh and lowered her head to look at Lina before calmly voicing, “I didn''t


    want to expose you. I would''ve let you be if you had kept a low profile, but you just had to mess with


    me. I''m no saint, so there was no way I would let you get away with what you did.”


    With that said, Bailey gently pushed Lina away with the sole of her feet before taking two steps


    backward. “You reap what you sow. I can''t and won''t save you.”


    Lina, who was pushed to the floor, scowled at Bailey as she questioned angrily, “You''re the real


    Vespera, so why did you allow me to impersonate you? What was the big idea?”


    Bailey could not help feeling amused when she heard that. So I''m responsible for ruining her because I


    allowed her to pretend to be me in the antique appraisal industry? I guess I only have myself to me


    for hoping that she would change. “I admit I shouldn''t have let you impersonate me in the first ce, so


    I''ll cover the losses. However, you''ll still have to answer for all your crimes.”


    “No...” Lina immediately threw herself at Bailey and held the woman''s leg tightly. “I''m sorry. I should


    never have talked back. Could you please spare me, Bailey? My life will be ruined if I go to jail.”


    “What does your life have to do with me? You have no one but yourself to me for your fate. It''s time


    to make a choice. You either cover their losses or spend a few years in prison,” sneered Bailey.


    Cover their losses? How am I going topensate for the hundreds of millions of losses? If the first


    choice isn''t an option, does that mean I''ll have to go with the second one? Lina found it almost


    impossible to make a decision. “You have to save me, Bailey. You know how I can avoid being sent to


    prison, right? Please help me!”


    Before Bailey could respond, the collectors who had been cheated all gave Lina a piece of their minds


    one after another.


    “We want her topensate us and answer for her crimes.”


    “That''s right. How can we allow someone that vile to get away? She must be sent to prison.”


    “Even if we have to give up on the tens of millions we lost, we still want that impostor locked away for a


    few years.”


    “Yeah. Have her incarcerated for a few years.”


    With every bit of strength in her, Lina pressed her hands against her ears so she would not hear the


    usations surrounding her. “No. I don''t want to go to jail! I don''t want to go to jail!”


    Bailey thought she had wasted enough time on the matter, so she turned to Raiden and calmly uttered,


    “She should be taught a lesson after all the bad things she''s done. I''ll let you handle this.”


    With a wave of his hand, Raiden gestured for two bodyguards to take Lina away.
