Josephine shouted angrily, "You are the one who's mentally ill! Your whole family is!"
Cecil looked at her disdainfully. Then, she walked to the doctor's side with her arms crossed and said, "Take her away quickly. What if she suddenly loses control and hurts someone?"
The doctor nodded and asked the people behind to take Josephine out.
Her hands and legs were bound. She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't muster any strength at all.
On the contrary, she was bound even tighter.
When Jefferson was about to step forward to save her, Theodore's figure appeared in front of him.
He stared at him like a hawk.
Jefferson was stunned, "What do you want?"
"Mr. Bailey, it's better for you to calm down a little. You should let your daughter be treated if she's mentally ill instead of letting her hurt others and yourself." Theodore's gaze was as sharp as a knife. He deliberately emphasized the last few words.
No matter how dumb Jefferson was, he was able to understand.
She must've done something to make Theodore hold a grudge against her.
Otherwise, how could the Bailey family have so many changes all of a sudden?
"If she's taken captive, many things won't happen and you don't have to suffer so much either." The continuation of Theodore's words was even more threatening.
Jefferson originally wanted to beg for mercy, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat. He couldn't even say a word.
For the sake of the Bailey family's business, he chose to remain silent. Josephine was his daughter, but compared to wealth and glory, he would be willing to throw all ties of kinship to the back of his mind.
When Josephine saw his behavior, she became discouraged in an instant. She had done so much for the Bailey family but in the end, she was still just a tool for making money.
She stopped struggling in an instant. Since there wasn't even a place for her to establish herself in that family. It was better for her to...
Just like that, she was taken away. Theodore looked sideways at Jefferson and sneered, "Do you know why you're not better than Abraham?"
Jefferson turned his head and said with a pale face, "What did you say?"
"Abraham is a father who is willing to sacrifice everything for his daughter, but you're willing to abandon your daughter for the sake of glory and wealth. You'll never become a member of the upper class in your life." Theodore left the place after he said that.
Cecil and Christopher looked at each other. Since Josephine was taken away, there was no point in staying there anymore.
After everyone left, Jefferson stood at the gate of the Bailey family home. At this moment, he seemed to have seen the Bailey family's future. It was meager and silent.
He felt a little regretful. If he offered all his assets to save his daughter, would things be...
Cecil and Christopher went straight to the hospital. Selena, Abraham, Alastair and Adrienne were all in the ward, accompanying Everleigh.
"Where have you guys been?" Everleigh turned her head and asked with a slight smile on her pale face.
Christopher and Cecil looked at each other in tacit agreement. Then, she snorted and said, "Do you think that I have something to talk about with him?"
Everleigh had forgotten that there was a chasm between the two of them.
He shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "It's all in the past. You know it too."
She smiled and turned her head away.
The matter between them was quite old. What was more, it was all in the past. She had already told Cecil many times, but it didn't result in anything major.
