Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 551

Chapter 548

Zeke froze in his tracks.

Instead of turning around, he looked out the window at the blue sky and muttered, “I'm now in charge of the Shurmer family. I'm not telling you this to seek your opinion; I'm only informing you about it so that you can mentally prepare yourself for it.”

Waverly was livid. She shoved the pot in front of her to the ground and snapped, “Bailey has already promised me not to hold a press conference and not come back to the Shurmer family to seek acceptance, so why are you still so stubborn? What are you trying to do, Zeke? Are you trying to kick Zozo out of the family? I'm telling you now that's impossible! I won't let anyone kick my daughter, whom I've raised for over twenty years, out of the family!”

Zeke shook his head and smiled wryly. “What am I trying to do? What can I possibly try to do? I'm only trying to preserve the last hint of familial relationship between the two of you so that you won't regret this in the future.”

“I won't regret it!” Waverly bellowed. “If I were to choose one between Zozo and Bailey, I'd choose Zozo! Do you hear me? I'll choose Zozo!”

Zeke lowered his head and stared at her for a while. A moment later, he enunciated, “You'll regret this one day because the daughter you've raised isn't as kind as you think she is. She—forget it. You're defensive of her. No matter what I say, you won't believe it, so we'll leave it at this. The press conference will be held in three days. I'll be announcing the truth to the public.”

“You—”

The next morning, in the living room of Holden's mansion, Ivy saw her daughter dressed neatly as she came down the stairs. Confused, she asked, “Shannon, are you going out?”

Shannon walked over to the couch and ruffled Sebastian's hair before saying with a smile, “I'm going to the cemetery to talk to Eugene for a bit. It's his... death anniversary today.”

What fantastic timing that Yvette invited me out to meet her today. Does she know that it's my son's death anniversary today? Probably not. She probably forgot what time the orchestrated car accident happened. Eugene died so abruptly and early, yet his murderer still walks this land free. How am I to endure this in silence?

Ivy had just found out a few days ago about what happened to her daughter, and she had also learned that her grandson had died horrendously. She could not simply sit still when she heard that her daughter was going to visit the boy.

“I'll come with you.” Ivy placed her hand on the armrest to stand up.
