Goodbye, My Wretched Love

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 The Successor

Taylor and Claire didn't realize that two women were secretly taking pictures of them.

Taylor smiled and stroked his daughter's face.

"Have you made up your mind? I want you to appear in front of the guests.That way, everyone will know you're my daughter -- the successor of the Williams Group.But with that come added responsibilities.You can't be free and do whatever you want."

Claire hesitated for a while.

"Dad, I don't want the power and reputation of our family to influence all my decisions and moves.I want to..."

Claire knew that once her identity as Taylor's daughter was revealed, everyone would start treating her differently.

But apart from being a member of the reputable Williams family, she also bore the identity of Darren's ex-wife.

Claire recalled what people thought about Darren's ex-wife and their insulting remarks.Her sister and brothers were shining in their respective fields with their own strength.

Claire didn't want to be a burden to them.She also wanted to achieve something in life and make her family proud rather than merely be known as the little princess of the Williams family.

A knowing smile stretched across Taylor's lips.He expected such a response from his daughter.

"Regardless of what you do, I will always support you.I believe you won't make silly decisions again."

Claire's heart swelled with happiness.She was incredibly lucky to have such an understanding father.

"Okay.Thank you, Dad."

She had a loving family who always loved and supported her.

Claire was a changed woman now and would no longer make stupid decisions and humiliate herself or her family.She ignored the people who despised her.

"It's about time.Go and change your clothes.Your brother has arranged everything for you."

Taylor looked at the wound on her neck and frowned.He felt sorry for his daughter.

Claire nodded and went to the dressing room.She changed into a white evening dress and wore a white feather mask to conceal her face.

The turtle neck dress covered the wound on her neck.

The feather mask covered the upper half of her face, revealing only her luscious red lips, which added to her mysterious beauty.

The party commenced.

Claire walked out, holding Taylor's arm.

Everyone was surprised and confused to see the elegant woman beside Taylor.

Although the Williams family was one of the most prestigious families for centuries, Taylor seldom showed up in public.

The purpose of this dinner party seemed to confuse the guests.

Everyone was curious to find out what was going on.

The affluent businessmen and celebrities in Bysea attended the party even though they didn't know the significance of the occasion.

"Who is this?"

"Just by her figure, I can say she is a beautiful woman.But who knows what lies beneath that mask?"

"Mr.Williams's beloved wife died young.Does that mean..."

"What are you saying? He wouldn't arrange such a grand party just to introduce his new wife."

"I heard Mr.Williams has two daughters and two sons.Nobody has seen his younger daughter before.Is that her?"

Rumors erupted among the crowd.Some were curious about the woman's appearance, and some about her identity.

Claire ignored the discussions and walked to the stage with Taylor.

Taylor adjusted the microphone and scanned the crowd eyeing him with expectation.

"Hello, everyone.I believe everyone present must have guessed the reason for this party.I don't want to keep you in suspense.The only reason I've invited you all here is to introduce my daughter, the successor of the Williams Group."

The audience burst into an uproar.

Taylor turned around and smiled proudly at Claire.

He was ecstatic to know his daughter was finally willing to return home and inherit their family property even though she still needed time.

"My daughter will slowly get familiar with our family business and take over the entire Williams Group.But she is still young and needs her freedom, so I have no choice but to introduce her to you this way.Thank you for understanding."

Taylor smiled modestly.

Everyone was equally surprised.

If she was indeed the successor of the Williams Group, they had to be in her good books.

Therefore, the guests began flattering and complimenting her.

Sierra and Bonita looked at Taylor and his beautiful daughter on the stage with envy.

Sierra was born in the lowest strata of society and had been moving from one place to another since she was a child.

Later, she finally got Darren's support and used all means to attain an unshakable position in the entertainment industry. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Sierra faded in comparison to the gorgeous princess of the Williams family.

"Wow! What a lucky girl.She was born with a silver spoon."

Bonita burned with jealousy.She looked at the woman on the stage and pulled Sierra's arm.

"Sierra, don't you think the woman's figure looks like Claire's?"
