Chapter 295

Waylon wore a cheerless expression as he glanced around nervously.

Closing her own fists into a steady grip, Beatrice did her best to keep her own emotions in check. Then, she spoke as calmly as she could. “Don't trouble yourself. I've already sent away all the helpers to other parts of the house, so go ahead and speak your mind.”

Waylon kept his voice low. “The paternity report states that Ms. Bailey isn't Mr. Jefferson's daughter. W-What's going on here? I've been with the Jefferson family for over ten years. Back then, Mr. Jefferson's ex-wife had indeed conceived his child. How is it that the both of them turned out to be biologically unrelated?”

“Needless to say, Sophia must have cheated on Clarence with another man before she ran back to him, claiming that the child is his. I'm afraid your poor employer has spent the last few dozen years raising someone else's daughter,” uttered Beatrice scornfully with a laugh.

“T-Then, should we not inform Mr. Jefferson about this?”

“You'd think?” Beatrice glared at him frostily as she bellowed. “Hasn't it occurred to you that the realization that he had helped raise the b*stard conceived through his own wife's infidelity might give Clarence a heart attack? Keep this to yourself and do not tell anyone else about it, do you hear?”

You must be kidding me. Should Clarence learn that Bailey isn't his biological offspring, wouldn't he have someone dig up everything that happened back in the day? If he were to find out that his real daughter is with the Shurmer family, how am I to continue to coerce Zoey into doing my bidding? Should this issue blow up and the Shurmer family finds out that Bailey is actually their kid, it will only get harder for me to deal with that little b*tch going forward.

Waylon was somewhat hesitant. “Mr. Jefferson has been nothing but great to me, so I don't feel comfortable keeping this from him.”

Beatrice got to her feet slowly. She then picked up a check off the table and approached him. “Here's one million. Would this be enough to ease your guilty conscience?”

That offer of all that money made Waylon's eyes light up. After briefly feigning a troubled look on his face, he purposefully gnashed his teeth. “I suppose it might be better if I withheld this from Mr. Jefferson in consideration of his health.”

Beatrice smiled elegantly while she slipped the check in her hand into his pocket. “You're a smart man, Dr. Zellman, so I trust that you'll keep that promise. Carry on with your business, and pretend that
