Chapter 243 Will Not Yield The Answer With those thoughts in mind, Quincy immediately wanted to seek out Yelena for clarification.
"Seeking Yelena now won't yield the answers you're looking for. If she chose to keep secrets from you back then, she's not likely to reveal them now. However, if you're truly keen on questioning her, I have three pieces of news for you. First, Harvey is secretly planning to adopt a nephew as his son and leave his entire estate to him. Second, Harvey's doctor has declared that he's completely lost his fertility, meaning you're his only child. There won't be another. The third..." A hint of coldness swirled around Calista's brows, giving Quincy the creeps! "Thirdly, I've already got proof that you're not Benedict's child. Tell me, if I were to spill this to Dad, where would you and Yelena end up?" Quincy's thoughts were completely dominated by Calista. Initially, knowing she might have a powerful father, Quincy felt a touch of secret delight. However, fear suddenly consumed her. If what Calista said was true that she wasn't the daughter of Benedict, then both Yelena and she would be driven out of the Stafford family! She was lost in her thoughts. After she opened her mouth, it took her a moment before she could stutter out her words. "You're lying, right? You... No, this can't be. What is it that you wantto do?" Calista didn't give her tto process and spoke coldly. "You aspire to outshine me, to elevate your status. Meanwhile, I simply want you out of the Stafford family. It's as straightforward as that. Tell Yelena I want her to divorce Benedict within ten days! When I return next time, I don't want to see her, and I certainly don't want to see you. If you don't want to end up homeless and thrown out on the streets, you'd best try your luck with Harvey. You've got ten days, plenty of tto make a choice." Once Calista finished speaking the last word, only then did Quincy dare to catch her breath slightly. The vibe Calista had unleashed just a moment ago was too powerful! Moreover, each word Calista spoke seemed to drain more color from Quincy's face. Quincy had previously been filled with anticipation at the prospect of a new father, but at that moment, she was only filled with dread. The implications of Calista's words were clear. If she couldn't successfully integrate into the Wolford family, there would be no place for her in the Stafford family either. There was no reason for Calista to lie about such a matter either. In other words, Calista truly had evidence that Quincy was not Benedict's biological child and intended to use that to drive Quincy and Yelena out! Quincy was somewhat afraid of Calista's ultimatum. No matter how ruthless she was, she was only eighteen. She feared that after Yelena and Benedict divorced, she couldn't beca part of the Wolford family. However, Calista didn't give her any choice. "Have you made up your mind?" When Calista asked that question, Benedict called out to them cheerfully, inviting them to cover for a meal.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBenedict was rather indifferent toward Yelena, but when it cto his two daughters, he cherished them both despite his partiality. It was precisely because of that Benedict appeared somewhat foolishly pitiful in Calista's eyes.
She acknowledged Benedict with a brief response, then continued to look at Quincy, who was wrestling with her emotions.
"I'm not giving you a choice for consideration. I'm merely informing you. You better tell Yelena that she must be the one at fault in the divorce, and it has to happen within ten days. Otherwise, I'll reveal her past schof intentionally framing Benedict. You really shouldn't pto take the final step because once her reputation is tarnished, even if you becpart of the Wolford family, you'll never be able to hold your head high," continued Calista.
Bewildered, Quincy stared at Calista.
Each word Calista uttered was like casting a spell. "You don't have a choice because the power is in my hands. Either you leave with Yelena, or you fight for everything you want. Otherwise, once Harvey truly adopts a child, you'll becirrelevant. You'll be dispensable. Do you understand?" Quincy found herself lost in a mind fog.
Meanwhile, Harvey's status becincreasingly precarious. In order to maintain his position as the family head and to protect his company, he had no choice but to make a vow under the watchful eyes of many.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the day of the adoption, he left an unalterable will, designating Kieran as the sole heir. He also pledged that he would never acknowledge Quincy as his own for the rest of his life.
The official establishment of the will might take stime, but was Harvey serious about it? Of course not! If he were to establish such a will, he might soon die from an "accident." At that moment, he was merely ebuying time, waiting for his company to weather the storm and stabilize. Once that happened, he would have plenty of ways to deal with Kieran and Kyven. All he wanted was to get through that period first.
At that moment, even though he didn't have any evidence, he was
certain that the only ones who could easily uncover his secret connection with Quincy were the Fairchild family! O A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. Sinde Kallum insisted on pushingto the brink, once I'm steady, I'll undoubtedly strike back relentlessly, regardless of the cost! Now, all I hope for is a period of peace and tranquility during this time. Upon hearing Quincy's words, Yelena was completely taken aback. "You're saying Calista found out you're not the biological child of the Stafford family?"
Upon seeing Yelena's expression, Quincy immediately knew that what Calista had said was indeed true and spoke in a tone filled with grievance. "Mom! Why didn't you tellearlier that I'm the daughter of the Wolford family?" The Wolford family is so affluent that even ten combined Stanford families couldn't compare to it!
Yelena was bitter as she knew all too well why Harvey was unwilling to acknowledge Quincy. It was because he couldn't bear to lose a certain someone. However, Calista had clearly obtained evidence to use against Yelena and her daughter, leaving them in a vulnerable position. As such, Yelena was at a loss about what to do.
