Chapter 682 Another Threat

The other party didn't respond.

Sofie suddenly became anxious, raising her voice sharply. “The reason I came to Hallsbay this time was all because

of you. In order to help you achieve your goal, I offended Artemis. Now that I'm in a perilous situation, do you

intend to just stand idly by? If that's the case, then I'll disregard any old affections. Even in death, I'll drag you down

with me.”

She had gotten herself into such a precarious situation, all because of the man on the other side of the call.

However, she never expected that he would watch her suffer without lifting a single finger to help her.

If that were the case, she could only bare her fangs and drag him down with her.

“Don't be so hasty. Look, I haven't even taken a stance yet, and you're already so impatient?”

Sofie gritted her teeth, saying, “Then give me a definite answer. Where are you now? Have you arrived in Hallsbay?

When will you be able to arrive? It's far too dangerous here. If I don't leave soon, there's a high chance they'll

capture me. Whether it's the Fletcher family's legitimate child, the Shurmer family's heir, or even Artemis, none of

them are forces I can provoke. Right now, they're joining forces to search for me. Even with some power in

Hallsbay, I can't withstand their joint attack. I can only hold on for two or three days at most. If you still don't come

by then, I'll surely be dead.”

A deep, middle-aged male voice came through the receiver. It was very familiar, undoubtedly Philip's.

“I've already contacted the son of the Shurmer family and made an excuse to come to Hallsbay by saying I needed

to apologize and explain the reason for my niece's miscarriage. I'll be able to arrive in Hallsbay tomorrow without

drawing their attention.”

After hearing his promise, Sofie finally breathed a sigh of relief. “At least you still have some conscience,

considering our past. I haven't wasted my youth following you all these years. By the way, there's one more thing I

have to tell you. In addition to me, there's another person you need to help get out of Hallsbay.”

“Are you trying to save you and Clarence's daughter? She's nothing but a discarded pawn. Why waste the effort?”

Philip questioned.

“No, no.” Sofie smiled slyly. “She's not a discarded pawn, not yet anyway. I plan to use her to strike back. Never

underestimate a woman's hatred. That girl despises Bailey, and she will definitely make Artemis and Bailey's lives a

living hell. Only when they're embroiled in internal chaos can we continue to vie for control of Tarragon.”

Philip seemed to approve of this idea. His voice was soft and measured as he spoke. “I shall devise a plan. Merging

with Tarragon has been the ambition of the Hoffman family for generations. My older brother lacks the courage to

pursue this goal, but I possess it. The failure of this mission lies with Artemis and Bailey. Only by eliminating those

two will Tarragon be left leaderless. Very well. Let's keep the girl and use her against Bailey and Artemis.”

Sofie's eyes gleamed with delight before her voice became tender and inviting. “I'll be waiting for you. It's been

some time, and I find myself missing you terribly.”

“Ha, are you missing me on top of you?”

“Oh, stop it.”

In the afternoon, at Shurmer Group's press room, reporters from various major news media in Hallsbay gathered,

waiting for the head of the Shurmer family to announce the purpose of today's press conference.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring lounge, Waverly adjusted her husband's shirt, asking, “When you publicly announce

Zoey's crimes, what will you say if they ask you how you plan to deal with her? You can't tell them you're letting her

off the hook because you've been threatened, can you?”

Steven shuddered, his eyes narrowing slightly. Clearly, he was unprepared for this question.

“Well...”

Before he could say anything, the phone on the side rang.

He reached out and picked it up. Upon seeing a string of unfamiliar numbers, he instinctively thought of Sofie.

What wicked scheme is that old woman plotting now?

As the call connected, Sofie's voice emerged from the receiver as expected.

“Mr. Shurmer, I heard you're about to hold a press conference. Let me guess. You must be planning to announce

my daughter's crimes, expel her from the Shurmer family, and confirm Bailey's legitimate daughter status, right?”

Steven's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth. “Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around

the bush.”

“Fine. You're indeed a straightforward person, so I'll be blunt. If you ruin my daughter's life and reputation, I will

have no choice but to retaliate by exposing your daughter to her enemies.”

Steven clenched his phone tightly, a flash of anger in his eyes. “You dare threaten me again with the same

bargaining chip? Once was enough; do you think you can do it a second time? I agreed not to send your daughter

to the police, but I never agreed not to expose her crimes or expel her from the Shurmer family. Do not

overreach.”

Sofie chuckled softly. “But I do have the power to threaten you, don't I? If you don't want your daughter to be

harmed, you have no choice but to let me manipulate you. Mr. Shurmer, if you expose my daughter's crimes and

ruin her life, how is that different from sending her to jail? If I were to protect her, I must protect her completely,

including her reputation.”

Sofie chuckled softly. “But I do have the power to threaten you, don't I? If you don't want your daughter to be

harmed, you have no choice but to let me manipulate you. Mr. Shurmer, if you expose my daughter's crimes and

ruin her life, how is that different from sending her to jail? If I were to protect her, I must protect her completely,

including her reputation.”

Steven closed his eyes tightly and enunciated every word, “What if I say no?”

“Then we'll all suffer, and our daughters will both be sacrificed.”

“You...”

Steven wanted to issue a fierce threat but thought better of it, knowing that mere words would not sway a cunning

and vicious woman like Sofie.

“Fine, I agree. I won't mention her crimes or expulsion during the press conference. However, don't try any tricks,

or neither you nor your daughter will leave Hallsbay alive.”

With that, he ended the call.

Waverly looked worried and cautiously said, “You agreed just like that? You really don't intend to expel Zoey from

the Shurmer family or reveal her crimes? If Bay finds out, the poor girl will be heartbroken. She's only just begun to

show signs of forgiveness, and if we do this, aren't we simply going to disappoint her further?”

Steven sighed helplessly. “We have no other choice right now. Once I obtain the evidence Sofie holds, we'll see what

to do. Let's go and deal with the press conference outside.”

“Very well.”

At the press room, the reporters hurriedly thrust forward their microphones when they noticed Steven and

Waverly's appearance.

Before they could ask any questions, Steven waved them off.

Standing at the podium, he spoke in a resolute and powerful voice. “I thank all our media friends for taking the time

out of their busy schedules to attend the Shurmer family's press conference. Today, I have an announcement of

utmost importance for our family. It has been confirmed that Bailey Jefferson is indeed our long-lost daughter. As

for how she was lost, I'm sorry, but we cannot disclose that information. From now on, Bailey will be the legitimate

eldest daughter of the Shurmer family.”

As these words were spoken, the entire press room erupted into a frenzy.

“Mr. Shurmer, we've already heard from your son that Bailey Jefferson is a daughter of the Shurmer family. We're

curious about how you plan to deal with your adopted daughter, Zoey Shurmer?”
