June didn’t even think, she refused, "In a couple of days, the Ford Family is hosting a banquet, we have to stay and help."

As June spoke, her gaze fell on Felicity Sterling.

She had torn her relationship with Simon Sterling and Serena Sullivan apart, but not with Felicity.

"Felicity." A thought suddenly occurred to June, with Serena at the Ford Family, if she pulled some strings, surely she could take care of a nobody?

If Serena was doomed, how well could Claire Sullivan fare?

"As soon as the Ford Family’s banquet is over, we’ll move out immediately."

"Listen to me."

Ignoring Felicity Sterling’s fear and discomfort, June reassured, "Keep away from Wayne Jennings."

Felicity kept her head down and remained silent. She knew that as long as she stayed at the Ford Family, being targeted by Wayne, she couldn’t avoid him.

The best plan was to leave the Ford Family and live outside.

But her mother wouldn’t listen to her!

Felicity thought of the times Wayne trapped her and called her a "bastard," looked at June, and hesitated.

"Felicity, what’s wrong?" June asked softly.

"Am I Simon Sterling’s daughter?"

Felicity paused for a moment but asked anyway.

She had seen the stories reported by the media.

They said June was raped twenty years ago, this...

Felicity didn’t believe it, nor did she dare to ask June so bluntly.

She began to doubt her own background.

"Say that again!"

Upon hearing this question, June’s face immediately darkened, she snapped, and before the words finished falling, she raised a hand and slapped Felicity.

"I raised you this big, just for you to humiliate me like this!"

June shouted angrily.

She couldn’t bear others discussing her past.

That past was the darkest time in her life, and she truly hated Claire Sullivan.

When Felicity brought it up, she transferred all that hatred onto her own daughter.

Yes, Felicity was just a bastard!

"Mom!"

"If you don’t want to stay at the Ford Family, then get out!"

June couldn’t be bothered to coax Felicity, pointing at the door, angrily finished speaking, and turned to leave.

Felicity watched June leave in anger, feeling more uneasy inside.

She also didn’t want to be a bastard.

All these years, she had lived quite well in the Sterling Family.

She had her mother’s love, her father’s affection, and a brilliant and capable brother.

But Serena’s appearance disrupted everything.

It was as if she fell from heaven to hell, if June was truly raped twenty years ago, she...

Felicity didn’t dare to think further, her face filled with tears, she held her cheek and ran out.

Without June’s protection, she was afraid to stay at the Ford Family, and if so, she might as well leave and wait for June to calm down before returning.

Outside, Felicity walked alone, feeling lonely.

Initially, she shed tears slowly, but after walking some distance, glancing back to see the Ford Family no longer in sight, her heart could no longer bear the pain, and she squatted on the roadside and cried.

She cried hard, without caring about her image.

There were few passing cars and people, a scooter suddenly stopped in front of her.

Felicity looked up and saw a familiar smile.

The man’s smile was so bright, just like the day’s sunshine.

Young Master Walsh hadn’t expected to have such a fateful encounter with Felicity here. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He took some food from the back seat of the scooter, holding it, and sat down by Felicity’s side.

The invitation was sent to the old residence of the Sterling Family; seeing it was from the Ford Family, Old Master Sterling didn’t even look before casually tossing it aside.
