who would use that tone on their father? 

“Have you ever seen a woman with hair that short or behave as rough as her? I’ve never seen a daughter 

either. 

“It’s a good thing Estelle isn’t like her. I’d be so worried if both children were like this.” 

Pauline’s words made it seem as if she viewed Bailey as her own daughter. 

Hearing this, Estelle walked over and pulled Pauline aside. “Forget it, Mom. Bailey has her own tastes and 

hobbies. We shouldn’t judge her.” 

Matthew’s expression soured after hearing Estelle and Pauline’s comments. How could he have such an 

embarrassing daughter? 

If he could turn back time, he would rather not have had her at all. She was embarrassing him. 

Bailey rolled her eyes at Estelle and Pauline. “Drop the disgusting act.” 

Pauline grew livid. “Look, Matthew! Look at how arrogant she is! Not only does she not respect me as her mother, but she also doesn’t respect you as her father.” 

Matthew had always valued power, and those around him had to obey him without question. 

With Pauline’s instigation, his gaze toward Bailey grew colder. He stared at her as if she were his enemy. 

Seeing Pauline’s provocation, Bailey couldn’t be bothered to deal with them. She stared fixedly at Matthew. “What business do you have with me? If that is all, I’ll head back right now.” 

Matthew was furious at Bailey’s indifferent attitude. 

But he swallowed his anger and said, “Clear your schedule for Saturday. You are to have lunch with Wade, and our families will have dinner together later that day.”

Before Bailey could respond, Matthew added, “You can’t refuse. Your grandparents were the ones who arranged the marriage.” 

Bailey paused at the mention of her grandparents. She knew Matthew must have said something to get her grandparents‘ approval. 

With an icy gaze, Bailey sneered at Matthew. “You can go yourself. I’m not going to play along.” 

Matthew turned red in anger and pointed an accusing finger at her. “I don’t care whether you agree or not. You have to go, no matter what. 

“Bailey, don’t be so selfish. Don’t forget, you’re part of the Jenkins family and a shareholder of Jenkins Group too. 

If you want to live by your own rules, then hand over your shares and cut off all ties with the family. No

Matthew’s angry rant earned a sarcastic laugh from Bailey. Naomi had been right. Matthew was after her 

shares. 

Bailey kept her hands in her pockets and looked at Matthew. “You wish to have my shares? Dream on.” 

Pauline rolled her eyes. “You’re a woman. Why do you need the shares? Don’t believe in Naomi or Ronald. Your father is doing this for your own good! You won’t be on the losing end if you transfer your shares to 

him.” 

Bailey huffed. “Don’t even think about it.” 

With that, she took her hand out of her pocket and straightened her clothes. 

“I won’t go on Saturday, and I won’t transfer my shares. I’ll live my own life on my own terms. I don’t need your arrangement or your snarky comments.” 

She added, “I came here today just to make my stance clear. Don’t call me again, Matthew.” 

“How dare you, Bailey?” Matthew’s neck veins bulged as he ordered the maids, “Lock her up in her room. She has to get married whether she likes it or not.” 

The maids moved to grab Bailey, but she turned sharply toward Matthew. “Matthew, you can confine me and force me into marriage. But there’s one thing I need to tell you. 

“If my lawyer can’t contact me within three days, my 21% of shares will leave the Jenkins family for good and be donated on my behalf. So, you’ll only ever hold onto 20% of the shares and risk losing the 

company.”
