Chapter 137

Gwendolyn was about to get up and utter a retort when Bailey stopped her, then slowly rose to her feet. Gazing at Felicity with a smile, Bailey arched a brow as she asked, “Does that mean you agree for Simon to marry me?”

Felicity's elegant and dignified face twitched violently several times.

This d*mn b*tch! When did I agree for Simon to marry her?

“As I said, I'll rot in hell if I let you become part of the Luther family.”

Bailey smiled and lowered her gaze to look at Gwendolyn sitting on the sofa. Softening her tone, she said, “Mrs. Chivers, you heard that. Mrs. Luther said she'll never allow me to become part of the Luther family. If anyone criticizes me in the future, you must attest to that for me.”

A clear-headed and percipient person, Gwendolyn naturally understood the hidden meaning behind those words.

“Don't worry. Seeing that neither you nor Simon is willing, no one in this world will force the both of you to be together. Since you have nothing to do with each other, the two of you are free to marry whoever you wish.”

Felicity was no fool either, so how could she possibly not know what Gwendolyn meant? Her expression darkened instantly, and she asked through clenched teeth, “What do you mean by that, Gwendolyn? Are you agreeable to her dating Ed? What are you thinking? How can you accept her and let her and those two bastards of hers taint the Chivers family bloodline?”

At that, Glen used his cane to strike the floor several times. “That's enough. You've completely ruined my good mood. I think all of you can't wait to see me dead, which is why you can't bear seeing me happy.”

Turning to Glen with a hurt expression, Felicity protested, “How can you say that, Father? I'm only doing this for the good of the Chivers family. What if Bailey doesn't give Ed a son and plans to assist that little bastard in taking over? Are all of you going to stand idly by and watch the family's century-old business fall into an outsider's hands?”

“That kid also has the Luther family's blood running through his veins. Even if Ed hands the business over to him, it won't be a loss for the Luther family,” Glen replied, casting her an icy glance.

Felicity was struck dumb.
