Chapter 351

Abruptly, Zoey tightened her grip on the porcelain spoon in her hand.

Zoey wasn't foolish. She knew the old lady would never expose this matter to her before compiling substantial evidence.

Since the old lady had finally come to Zoey, it meant that Zoey's identity was mostly confirmed.

Although she didn't want to accept the truth, the reality was always harsh, so she was forced to face it.

“I already know what you want to say. Tell me your conditions. What do I have to do for you to keep this secret for me?”

Beatrice smiled elegantly. “Looks like you've already accepted the truth, Ms. Shurmer. That's great. Now, I'll stop beating around the bush. I want you to rescue my daughter.”

Zoey's face twitched violently as her expression turned malicious.

Who is this old lady's daughter? It's that b*tch, Rhonda! I was extremely delighted after I found out that Rhonda was pranked by Artemis and was abandoned to become a beggar's wife. However, she's asking me to rescue her now? She's clearly doing this on purpose to disgust me!

“I can't agree with this. Give me another condition.”

Beatrice stirred her cup of coffee and sneered, “It seems like you're still unaware of the current situation, Ms. Shurmer. I'm the one who has something on you. You don't really have a choice. After all, I have the leverage to make you lose everything.”

“You—” Zoey was frustrated, but she couldn't do anything because she was afraid.

She was afraid to lose everything and end up living a poverty-stricken life if she was stripped of her identity as the Shurmer family's heiress.

“Fine. I'll agree with your condition. But you can't force me to do anything else after this is done.”

“Oh, you silly girl. Do you think that's possible? Now that I have dirt on you, you can only do as I say.”

“You—”

Beatrice laughed maniacally. “You better think this through. Once your identity is exposed, Bailey will replace you and become the Shurmer family's beloved heiress.”

Hearing that, Zoey gritted her teeth so hard that a crunching noise could be heard coming from her jaw.

This old lady isn't easy to deal with. She secured her position in the family as a mistress, so she has plenty of tricks up her sleeves. If I anger her, she might resort to extreme methods.

“Give me three days. I will save Rhonda and send her back to the Jefferson residence.”

“In that case, thank you, Ms. Shurmer.”

Zoey remained quiet.
