Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494

How dare he say that? He's Dad's biological son, and Dad raised him! How could he spew such treachery?

“What are your conditions for agreeing to come back home?”

Victor looked around before snickering. “Give me back my life. Also, I want to be paroled. With the above two conditions fulfilled, I will attend that old geezer's funeral.”

Victoria trembled while leaning in Lionel's arms. Her voice was shaking as she extended a finger to point at Victor. “Y-Y-You're purposely making things difficult for me! I can't possibly grant you either of these requests!”

“Fine then. Since you turned me down without hesitation, I see there's nothing else to be said. I shall no longer be involved with the Saunders family. My well-being is none of your concern and vice versa.”

With that, he turned to leave.

Distraught, Victoria tried to go after him, but her legs gave out, and she fell back into Lionel's arms.

“You can't do this, Victor. A funeral must be held for the dead. Dad hadn't done anything bad, so we can't l-let him...”

As she trailed off, she burst into tears.

Yet, Victor showed no hesitation and deftly arrived at the door within moments.

“Hold on.”

It was Lionel who spoke. He narrowed his eyes while staring at Victor's back before saying solemnly, “I agree to both of your terms. I will transfer the Saunders family's shares to you and make sure that you get out of here after you attend your father's funeral.”

Victoria raised her head to gawk at Lionel. “A-Are you really going to hand over all the shares? Is that okay? You spent so much time plotting for it. Are you okay with giving them up for my father's sake?”

Lionel ignored her, his focus still on Victor. Arching his brow, he asked, “How does that sound? Do you agree with that? I will transfer all of Saunders Group's shares to you, which gives you full rein over the company by making you the largest shareholder.”

Victor narrowed his eyes as he studied Lionel. There was a hint of suspicion as he questioned, “Are you really okay with transferring all the shares to me?”

“You don't need to question my intentions. Your sister is pregnant with my child, so you're my daughter's uncle, which makes you one of the people closest to her. Besides, the shares had always belonged to the Saunders family, and I was merely holding onto them for safekeeping. Therefore, I would voluntarily hand it over if you want them.”

There was a momentary silence before Victor gritted his teeth. “Okay. I will trust you just this once. You'd better not lie to me, or else I'll find an opportunity to dig the old man's body out of its grave even after I attended the funeral.”

“You–” Enraged, Victoria raised her voice and was ready to retort him.

However, Lionel covered her mouth, stopping her from saying anything.

“Go sort through the administrative procedures with the warden. I'll send someone over to fetch you this afternoon. I can fulfill your first condition today. As for the second one, give me some time to work on it, and I can guarantee your early release.”
