Chapter 761

Dailey glanced at his wristwatch, realizing he still had stto spare. He asked, "So, what exactly do the

elders expectto do for responsibility?" "Marry her?"

A flicker of hope passed through Nelly's eyes, but she kept her head down, unseen.

Caldwell frowned, saying, "We're talking about taking responsibility, not marriage. You need to marry someone

who can be an asset to you. If your career hits a rough patch, she should be able to support you." Nelly

understood; she couldn't expect much from the Clarksons after all.

Caldwell's invitation for her return was merely to comfort the grandfather in his final days, masking his guilt for

keeping them apart and the near harm that befell her.

And Dailey's mother's kindness was conditional on Nelly's compliance, treating herself as nothing more than a

distant relative, never to dream of anything more with Dailey.

At this point, it was all about the Clarkson family's interests, regardless of her feelings.

She felt like a mere commodity.

Yet, it didn't matter. Christine, who was lucky enough not to die this time, wouldn't end up any better than her.

Raised by the Clarksons, Nelly had a standing, unlike Christine, unloved by her parents, practically an orphan.

Even knowing Jane wouldn't change her fate.

Gregory wouldn't confront the Clarksons for her. Despite the Fords and the Clarksons being long-tassociates,

the Clarkson family wouldn't let Gregory interfere in family matters, risking their interests.

"I don't follow," Dailey said coolly. "What do you mean by taking responsibility without marriage?"

Caldwell, visibly angered and tapping his cane, was irritated by Dailey's feigned ignorance.

"If you really like this Christine, you could keep her as a mistress," he suggested bluntly.

Dailey chuckled. "Grandpa, always looking out for me."

Caldwell's anger didn't subside. "If you hadn't been reckless, | wouldn't have to worry like this."

Dailey, hand in pocket, voice growing cold, replied, "Thanks for the concern, Grandpa, but I'll pass on your

advice. And here's a suggestion for you-stop giving them."

"Dailey!"

Caldwell, leaning on his cane, stood up in anger, only to collapse again.

"Old man!"

"Dad!"

The ambulance's siren pierced the night as it rushed to the hospital.

Given Caldwell's status and Mrs. Clarkson's concern for Timothy Ferguson, she lost her usual composure,

becoming irate.

Normand tried to soothe her, while

Jayne, fearing Dailey might send Nelly abroad amidst the chaoschad people surround the emergency room area.

The task of managing the media fell to Dailey.

He couldn't neglect the situation; any escalation could endanger the Clarkson family and Christine even more.

Their house was under scrutiny; calls flooded in the moment the ambulance left the mansion. Busy until his

phone died...

Finished with your business?

After showering and taking care of herself, two hours passed without a reply. Checking her phone again, still

nothing.

She put down the phone, turned on

her computer to work, and eventually fell asleep. Waking up, she instinctively reached for her phone-still no reply

from Dailey.

Hesitating, she tried calling him, but it went straight to voicemail.

Just as she was about to put the phone down, a message from Jane cthrough.
