Chapter 513

Bailey patted Victoria's shoulder. “When it comes to people like him, you have to do things the hard way. You won't win against him by playing dirty because he's better at it. Although, considering how much he hates the Saunders family, are you two really going to free him from prison? There's no doubt he'll cause plenty of trouble once he's out.”

Smiling bitterly, Victoria explained, “I promised him I would, and I intend to keep my word. However, if he gets arrested again after being freed from prison, then I'll leave him to his fate. Whether he lives or dies won't concern me anymore.”

Meanwhile, on the second floor of a coffee shop, next to a window, Clarence stared anxiously at the young woman sitting opposite him and spoke carefully. “Z-Zoey, we—”

Zoey interrupted, “There isn't any relationship between us. Please refrain from spouting nonsense and causing me problems, Mr. Jefferson.”

I can't believe he's trying to make me recognize him as my father when he's from an ordinary wealthy family! What a joke! I accepted Sofie as my mother because that old bat can help me get everything I want. On the other hand, this old fart can't give me anything. In that case, why should I recognize him as my father?

An awkward expression flashed past his countenance. “Fine, fine, we don't have any relationship with each other at all. I just want to see you and ask you how you have been doing for all these years.”

Annoyance was visible on Zoey's face as she spat, “What do you think? I'm the daughter of the Shurmer family, one of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites. People worship me, and many more are jealous of me. How do you think I've been doing?”

In response, he smiled bitterly. Of course, he could tell the mockery in her tone. He wasn't an idiot, after all.

What could the Jefferson family possibly give her that the Shurmer family couldn't?

“I'm glad that you're doing well, Zoey. Is there anything you need my help with?” Clarence inquired.

Zoey mulled it over when she heard that. Well, since he's offering his help, it'll be a shame if I don't seize this opportunity. Even if he can't deliver a fatal blow to Bailey, I'll be satisfied if he can cause her some trouble. After all, he's Bailey's... adopted father.
