Chapter 593 Destroy The Evidence

Zoey perked up as soon as she heard that. “Has Yvette made any progress?”

Somewhat displeased, Sofie shot her daughter an icy look. “You can't keep your emotions in check, so how will you control someone as unbridled as Artemis in the future? If you continue ignoring my advice like this, I'm really going to give up on you.”

Zoey's face clouded over. Now that Zeke has disclosed Bailey's true identity to the public, everyone has been calling me a b*stard who doesn't even know who's my biological father. The Shurmer family isn't going to back me up, and the only person I can rely on is this old hag. I can't afford to have a falling out with her or let things turn sour between us before I get what I want.

“I've been dealing with Bailey for so long and watched as those on my side turned their backs on me one after another. I really have no confidence left. That's why I'm so restless. To make matters worse, after Zeke made Bailey's identity known to the public, I've been bombarded with a flood of one-sided rumors saying I'm a b*stard with an unknown father. I can't look to the Shurmer family for support. The only person I can turn to is you.” She blinked her eyes, squeezing out a trail of tears.

Sofie's gaze turned cold. In a low voice, she replied, “What nonsense is that? You're Clarence Jefferson's daughter. You have a family.”

“But others don't know that. They only think that I'm... that I'm your... Anyway, everyone is frowning upon Clarence's and Rhonda's inappropriate behavior. Having anything to do with them will only mean trouble for me. Hence, I don't want to be associated with that family.”

When Sofie saw Zoey crying bitterly, she softened her tone as she said, “Yvette has arranged everything on her end and is just waiting for the right time to drug Artemis. Just be patient for a couple more days. We'll surely hear of an update after two days.”

“All right. I'll do as you say, Mom.”

That afternoon, Simon and Caridee returned to Hallsbay. The private plane landed directly at the medical base.

The moment Caridee saw Bailey, she threw herself into the latter's arms and asked through her tears, “How's my mother? Is she awake?”
