Zayron snorted twice to that.

“The sky will rain when it wants to, and Aunt Caridee will marry if she wants to. Can you control that?”
Infuriated, Bailey took off her slippers and was about to throw them in her son''s direction when the
doorbell rang, rescuing Zayron.
With that, she shot Zayron a vicious re and gritted out, “Your father will deal with youter. Go get
the door.”
Words eluded Zayron when he heard that.
She''s thinking of beating me up, and now she''s treating me as a ve? How shameless can this
woman be?
As soon as the door opened, in came Sebastian from outside.
Zayron stomped his foot. “What the h*ll? Where did this stray doge from?”
Sebastian was speechless to be called a stray dog.
Wendy reached out to pat Zayron on the head, asking, “Is your Mommy home?”
“She''s not. She''s out messing around with her man. You—”
Smack! Before he could even finish his sentence, his mother''s slipper ended upnding on the back of
his head.
The pain caused him to shut up right away.
Bailey came over and pulled her son to the side. Arching her brows, she looked at Wendy and smiled.
“I never thought you''d be visiting me one day.”
Wendy couldn''t help but smile when she recalled how they used to butt heads in the past.
“Yeah. I thought we''ll remain enemies for our entire life. I never thought we''ll now be friends who would
help each other in need.”
“Well,e in. Zayron, bring Sebastian to your room and hang out.”
Zayron wordlessly and reluctantly did as told.
The twodies took a seat on the couch before Wendy said, “I think you know why I came, so I won''t
beat around the bush. It''s about Huntley. I found out about something, and this young man is, indeed,
not as simple as he seems. He has taken control over half of the Hoffman family''s power in mere three
to four years.”
Bailey was shocked to hear that as she looked at Wendy, astounded. “Half of the Hoffman family''s
power? What background does he have? How is he capable enough to control that much power right
under your father''s nose?”
Wendy shook her head and said solemnly, “He''s our rtive from a prestigious family, and he''s higher
in terms of seniority. Mr. Raymond noticed his potential and took him in since he was still young. He
also acknowledged Huntley as his godson when his own son passed away.”
“So, you''re saying that he''s been living among the Hoffman family for years and knew everything there
is to know internally?”
Wendy pursed her lips as a glint of worry shed across her eyes. “That''s right. He knows the way the
family operated like the back of his hand. As for Julie, she had just returned to the family. She has no
foundation and no connections, so how could she possibly be Huntley''s match? Bailey, do you have
any ways or ideas to help my sister with this?”
Bailey knitted her brows and thought for a while before sighing. “I don''t even know what Julie is thinking
a while longer and see how things y out. There will be turbulence in the Hoffman family if we take
action now, and this could jeopardize the entire family.”
After that, the room went silent.
In the study of the Gezmond residence, Lionel was leaning against the window as he picked up a call.
“Surrender yourself to the police and shoulder the me. Just say that you were the one who incited
Victor to manipte the stock market and sell the stocks illegally. Got it?”
“Don''t worry, Mr. Gezmond. I''ll confess to the crime ording to your wishes.”
Lionel let out a soft sigh as exasperation and exhaustion overwhelmed him. “Are you okay with
shouldering the me?”
“I''m the one who framed Mr. Victor in the first ce, so it''s only right that I take the me now. You''ve
saved my family, Mr. Gezmond, and you even arranged everything for my family. I''ll only be sentenced
to a few years in prison at most. It''ll be over soon, anyway.”
“Okay. Don''t worry. I''ll take good care of your family. You''ll only be sentenced to five years
imprisonment at most, and the least will be three years. I''ll try my best to help you with this and lighten
your sentence.”
“Thank you, Mr. Gezmond.”
The next day, someone dropped by the Hallsbay Police Department to confess to the crime and turn
himself in.
The man stated that Victor from the Saunders family was framed, and that he was the real mastermind
behind the stock market maniption case. He also asked to be severely punished.
The citizens of Hallsbay were stunned when word got out.
Vincent''s burial was just over, and news about Victor being framed and imprisoned for nothing was
immediately revealed. Such a dramatic turn of events was a pretty hrious story to hear.
In the study at the Saunders residence, Victoria looked at Victor, who was leaning against the desk,
and said in a calm voice, “Lionel has helped exonerate you, so you better watch your behavior from
now on.”
Victor scoffed and couldn''t help but say in a mocking tone, “He was the one who set that trap to frame
me, and now I''m the one who owes him? How ridiculous. What a scheme Lionel pulled to have the
Saunders family in the palm of his hand. He better pray that I won''t have any dirt on him, or I''ll make
sure to ruin his family as well as his reputation.”
Victoria looked at him in despair and spoke in a painful tone. “You want to ruin his family? Victor, you''re
not cursing him, you''re cursing me. I''m his wife, and I''m bearing his child. Are you saying that you hope
to ruin my life?”
Victor snorted when he heard that. “You only have yourself to me for marrying him. Are there no
other men in this world who meet your standards? Do you really have to trample on your pride to be
with him? Someone as shameless as you don''t deserve to be part of the Saunders family. From this
day onward, you are not allowed to set foot into the Saunders residence. Now, leave.”
Victoria staggered backward as she looked at Victor in disbelief, unable to ept what Victor, her own
brother, had just said. She couldn''t believe that her own brother would humiliate her with such harsh
words.
“You... How could you say something like that? I''m your sister! Your biological sister! We share the
same parents!”
Victor sneered. “Since you had the guts to do what you did, why wouldn''t I have the guts to say what I
said? What''s wrong? Do you still think you''re chaste? Too bad. You''re still carrying that b*stard''s child
in your belly.”
Victoria slumped on the couch and looked at her brother in aplete daze. The light in her eyes
faded as if her soul had left her body.
She was utterly disappointed in her brother.
“Fine. I''ll leave. I''ll leave the Saunders family. From now on, we''re no longer siblings.”
“Good. From now on, whether you live or die is none of my business, so don''t even think of getting
anything from the Saunders family.”
At the Shelbert Condominium, the doorbell rang.
Bailey opened the door, and before she could even see who was outside, a figure loomed over her and
almost crashed into her.
She reflexively extended her arms to support the person. It was only after she lowered her gaze that
she found out who it was.
“Vicky, what''s wrong with you?”
“Bay, I''m homeless now.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Victoria''s eyes rolled back, and she passed out.
“Vicky!”
In the infirmary at Holden''s residence, Shannon stood by the bed and narrowed her eyes, looking at
the man on the bed.
“Call your subordinates and tell them toe and pick you up.”
Micah looked up at the ceiling. After a momentary silence, he said in a hoarse voice, “Don''t worry about
me. Just let me die.”
Shannon tried tamping down her anger but to no avail. She sprang forward, grabbed his cor, and
bellowed, “Are you even a man, Micah Neyman? Are you intending to go back on your word? You said
you''ll avenge Eugene! Have you done so?”
