Chapter 548


    Waverly''s face turned grim. She was bothered by what Bailey said. She''s right. When the others call


    Bailey an illegitimate child, they''re also questioning the Shurmer family''s legitimacy. Although we won''t


    suffer any physical losses, it''s still embarrassing.


    “If you don''t agree to be the Shurmer family''s adopted daughter, I''ll just tell everyone that I gave


    birth to a pair of fraternal twins back then. No matter what, I''m not going to let Zoey be the


    Shurmer family''s adopted daughter. She''s been with the Shurmer family for so long, and I have a good


    rtionship with her. Even if she''s not my biological daughter, I still won''t let her get insulted,” Waverly


    replied.


    “Are you bargaining with me? Where do you think this is? The market? I advise you not to embarrass


    yourself and leave at once. You either acknowledge Bay and tell the public Zoey is the Shurmer


    family''s adopted daughter or keep that precious daughter of yours that you''ve been taking care of for


    over two decades. Stop bothering my daughter-inw. I''m rather short-tempered. If I snap, I''ll start


    hurling ugly and disgusting words at you. Leave now if you don''t want that.” Felicity let out a cold snort.


    “My mother died in the fire twenty years ago. From now on, I''m not going to acknowledge anyone but


    Mrs. Luther. Please go home, Mrs. Shurmer. I''m not returning to the Shurmer family, so you guys


    should just treat Zoey as your biological daughter,” Bailey chimed in before looking out the door. “Send


    our guest out.”


    A middle-aged butler came in from outside and gestured for Waverly to leave.


    Waverly clenched her jaw in anger and enunciated, “Fine! In that case, call my husband and my son to


    tell them you''re not returning to the Shurmer family, and tell them not to hold a press conference.”


    Bailey nodded. “Sure. I''ll call Zeke and tell him that. Don''t worry. I won''t tell them you came to the


    Luther residence to look for me and force me to give up returning to the Shurmer family. Treat it as a


    token of appreciation for giving birth to me. From now on, my biological mother is dead and no longer


    relevant. Let''s not treat each other as mother and daughter for the rest of our lives.”


    Waverly parted her lips, wanting to say something, but she could not bring herself to. She red at


    Felicity before leaving the room.


    Upon watching Waverly walk out of the main entrance, Felicity turned around to hug Bailey. “Cry it out,


    okay? I won''t make fun of you. Although you''ve always been acting strong in front of me and making


    me angry, it''s okay to show vulnerability once in a while.”


    Bailey was amused. She hugged Felicity tighter and smiled. “At this age, I no longer need motherly


    love. To be honest, I understand where she''sing from. After all, she has taken care of Zoey for the


    past twenty-odd years. Prior to this, she was even teaching Zoey how to go up against me. All of a


    sudden, I, who used to be her nemesis, became her biological daughter. Who could ept that?”


    Felicity lifted her fingers to tap Bailey''s forehead. She chided her with a smile, “You''re so heartless! But


    it''s better this way because you won''t feel as sad. Then again, you shouldn''t treat me the same way


    you treat Waverly, okay?”


    Bailey grinned and pecked Felicity on the cheek. “You''re my mother-inw! Of course I''ll treat you with


    respect.”


    Felicity''s expression went cold. “I don''t want that. I just want you to treat me as your own family.”


    Instead of answering Felicity, Bailey looked out the window to watch Waverly''s back gradually


    disappeared from her sight. I shouldn''t feel anything for that woman. If I get sad, that will mean she has


    won. She never loved me, so I don''t need her. After all, it''s not like Ick motherly love.


    Bailey nodded. “Sure. I''ll call Zeke and tell him that. Don''t worry. I won''t tell them you came to the


    Luther residence to look for me and force me to give up returning to the Shurmer family. Treat it as a


    token of appreciation for giving birth to me. From now on, my biological mother is dead and no longer


    relevant. Let''s not treat each other as mother and daughter for the rest of our lives.”


    In the CEO''s office of one of the branch offices of LG Corporation, Lionel was reading a few urgent


    documents he had received from all around the world.


    Right then, his assistant pushed the ss door open and walked in.


    “Mr. Gezmond, I need to tell you something.”


    Lionel didn''t bother lifting his head. While he was still working, he drawled, “Go on.”


    “Mr. Saunders of Saunders Group is selling three percent of his shares with a market value of five


    hundred million.”

    Lionel''s fingers froze momentarily. He slowly raised his head to look at his assistant. With a frown, he


    asked, “Are you sure Victor is selling his shares?”


    “Yes. It has already entered the trading center, and a few rich businessmen are eyeing his shares and


    making bids. However, their bids haven''t met Ms. Saunders'' valuation, so they haven''tpleted the


    transaction.”


    Lionel held his forehead, feeling troubled. Thete Mr. Saunders worked so hard to build Saunders


    Group. I don''t know how he would feel if Saunders Group were to end this way, but I know Victoria is


    going to be devastated.


    “Contact Victor by saying that you''re a Chanaean from Ustrana. Buy those shares from him, but tell him


    to keep it as a secret. Don''t let him tell anyone that he sold off his shares,” Lionel instructed.


    The assistant hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously, “That''s five hundred million worth of


    shares. If LG Corporation spends that much money, the public is going to cause a huge ruckus. How


    are we supposed to keep it a secret?”
