Chapter 569 The Daughter’s Worth

“What did you just say?”

Cramer clearly didn’t understand what Wendy meant by those words.

What did she mean by Vivian falling for him at first sight?

And what did she mean by asking Vivian for help, only for Vivian to refuse?

Wasn’t Vivian supposed to have been planted by Wendy at his side from the very beginning?

There was no way Cramer would believe Wendy’s one–sided claims.

“Since you don’t like our Vivian anyway, there’s no need to waste more time. Let’s just call off the engagement.”

No sooner had Wendy spoken than Vivian suddenly came running out from inside the estate.

She was still in her pajamas, with maids rushing after her, but none of them managed to stop her from reaching Wendy and Cramer.

“I told you, in this life I’ll only marry Cramer! I’d rather die than marry anyone else!”

Wendy’s brow furrowed at Vivian’s words.

One of the maids hurriedly apologized. “I’m sorry, madam! We couldn’t keep watch over the young lady! We didn’t expect her to run out so suddenly!”

“Who gave you permission to come out here?”

Wendy’s voice was full of scolding.

Vivian stopped directly in front of her. “I won’t marry anyone else! I only want to marry Cramer…”

“Get back inside!”

Wendy’s eyes glinted with a harsh, ruthless edge. “Have you forgotten who raised you, who taught you everything you know? And now, for the sake of a man, you’re ready to abandon your own mother! Everything I asked of you, you failed to do. You slunk back in disgrace, and now you dare to shame me like this!”

Her words came one after another, leaving Cramer no time to think.

“If you insist on throwing away your status as my daughter, if you’d rather give it all

man, then go. From now on you’re no daughter of mine. Remember, people without value don’t deserve anyone’s love.”

Every sentence hit Vivian like a knife.

At that moment, Cramer suddenly pulled Vivian to his side. “In that case, from this day forward she’s no longer your adopted daughter. She is my fiancée.”

Vivian’s eyes widened in shock. She had never imagined Cramer would say such a thing.

His gaze never left Wendy, unwavering and firm, every word and action tugging at Vivian’s heart.

She had never thought Cramer would stand up for her, let alone take her hand on his own.

To her, it felt like something out of a dream.

“And what use is a useless woman?”

Wendy’s tone dripped with mockery. “Aside from her face, she has nothing. Without me, she’ll be bullied overseas. You, Cramer, might protect her for a while, but can you protect her for a lifetime?”

“Since she is the wife I’ve chosen, I will protect her for a lifetime. From this day on, she has nothing to do with you, Wendy. She is only my fiancée.”

Vivian’s heart ached as she looked at him. If he ever found out today was nothing more than an act staged between her and her mother, he would surely hate her.

She dared not let him know.

Seeing Wendy fall silent, Cramer glanced at his secretary. “Take her away.”

“Yes, Mr. Cullinan.”

The secretary quickly led Vivian away.

But Wendy’s voice cut in. “Wait.”

“What else?”

“I raised this daughter for so many years, and now you take her away just like that. Don’t you think you owe me some compensation?”

She continued, “From her childhood until now–music, calligraphy, etiquette–I poured years of effort into her. That isn’t something money alone can measure. Mr. Cullinan, we’re both business people. You’re taking away the tool I cultivated with my own hands. Shouldn’t you give

me something in return?”

Her words didn’t surprise Cramer. He knew Wendy would never let go so easily after raising such a tool for so many years.

He had already anticipated this.

“How much does Mrs. Cullinan want?”

“That depends on how much you’re willing to give.”

Wendy smiled faintly. “I’ve handed over a daughter I raised for so long. I think… the figure should be significant, shouldn’t it? And I also need access to some of Saint Corp’s internal channels. These were developed by me in the first place. Even if Saint Corp is in your hands now, those channels should still be mine to use, don’t you agree?”
