Chapter 245 Last Name
When Sage saw that she couldn’t move her father’s heart, she looked at her Grandpa with pleading eyes and said, “I was wrong, Grandpa. Please forgive me. I want to change my last name to Taylor.”
Mrs Moore nodded her head and said, “I agree with your granddaughter, Mr Taylor. Please change her last name to Taylor. I made it clear to Caroline that I would never Sage as my granddaughter. Therefore, you cannot force us to raise her.”
Mr Taylor was so disappointed in the Moore family and said, “It’s impossible for Sage to change her last name to Taylor because it was her mother’s wish for her to be raised as the Moore family child.
Also, I don’t believe that your daughter visited my son at work without your encouragement, Mrs Moore. Who told you that my son, Xavier, was born to marry your daughters?
Are your daughters worthy of my son? I will never forgive your daughter for disrupting peace in my family. Who gave your daughter the confidence to bully the Taylor family? Are we easy to bully?”
Mr Moore was so embarrassed he scooped Sage in his arms and said to his wife, “Valery, let’s go home.” Then he left without saying goodbye with his wife in tow. Butler Blade put Sage’s suitcases in the car, then he went back to the mansion.
Mr Moore drove his car in silence to the pharmacy to buy his granddaughter’s medicine. He parked his car in the parking lot and got out of his car. He bought ointment for swelling and Panado syrup for pain.
On their way home, Mrs Moore tried to engage her husband in a conversation, but her husband looked at her coldly. He had warned her several times to stop encouraging their youngest daughter to go after Xavier. However, his wife never listened to him.
When they arrived home, Mr Moore took his granddaughter to the guest room. He looked at his granddaughter with sorrow in his eyes. After he lost his daughter, he had a void in his heart. Valencia was his favourite daughter.
After his daughter had passed away, Mr Moore begged his wife not to cut ties with Sage, to no avail.
He looked at his granddaughter and said, “Sage, let me apply the ointment to your face. It will help with the swelling. Grandpa will be gentle.”
Mr Moore gave his granddaughter medication, then he stayed in the guest room until his granddaughter fell asleep. He switched off the light, then he joined his wife in their bedroom.
At the Taylor mansion, Xavier took his phone and called his Private Investigator, Archie Webber. When it was connected, he said, “Please locate the whereabouts of Valeria Moore urgently.”
Then he asked Butler Blade to send the footage to his phone. As soon as he received the footage, he edited it. Then he forwarded it to Portia. He sent the part where Valeria was slapping Sage in the face.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Portia called Xavier and asked, “Who beat up my dearest Sage?” Xavier briefly told her about Sage trying to frame Avery. Portia was so shocked and asked, “What do you want me to do?”
Xavier was so angry and replied, “I want you to teach her a lesson. I will forward the location as soon as I receive it from my Private Investigator. Please don’t touch her face.” Then they hung up.
A few minutes later, Archie sent him Valeria’s location. Valeria was at Havana Club drinking with her friends. As soon as Xavier received Valeria’s location, he quickly sent it to Portia.
After that, Xavier went to his bedroom to join his beloved wife. When he saw his stunning wife, his anger dissipated. His wife was sitting on the bed in a daze. He hugged her tightly and said, “Penny for your thoughts.” Avery hugged him back and said, “I am sorry, my love, for not listening to you. It will never happen again.
I will never visit Sage’s room without you. My handsome husband, thank you for believing in me. I was so scared I thought I would lose you. How was the meeting with the Moore family?”
Xavier hugged her tightly and said, “I don’t know what I would have done if Sage had harmed you.” They hugged each other for a long time.
Xavier kissed his wife passionately and said, “Sage will never harm you again. The Moore family took her with them.” Avery looked at her husband and said, “Honey, Sage has not fully recovered yet. Is she coming back soon?”
Her husband shook his head and replied, “Sage is no longer the Taylor family child. The Moore family indicated that they didn’t want Valencia to register our marriage because they didn’t want Valeria to be a stepmother.
Initially, they planned to raise Sage as their daughter. However, they changed their minds after their daughter’s betrayal. Grandpa granted them their wish.”
Avery was so shocked and asked, “Honey, do you think Sage will be happy at the Moore mansion?”
Xavier smiled and replied, “It was Sage’s wish to be with her maternal grandparents. She hates the Taylor family, and the trust relationship has been broken. It will be difficult for us to trust her again.
Please don’t be soft-hearted, because Sage will not hesitate to harm you if the Moore family asks her to do so.” Avery’s heart ached for Sage. She hoped the Moore family would treat their granddaughter like a princess.
At the Havana Club, Valeria was sitting in the corner watching her friends drinking. Some of them were wasted and some still had glasses of wine in their hands. After Valeria received a call from her mother, she became sober.
She was scared of her brother-in-law because he was ruthless. He would skin her alive for beating up his princess. Why didn’t her niece tell her about the surveillance camera? Did she set her up on purpose?
Her best friend, Zara Gray, walked to her and asked, “What is wrong, my friend?” Valeria didn’t hide anything from her. She told her that she was scared to go home. She indicated that she might be arrested for causing bodily harm to her niece.
Zara looked at her friend and said, “Valeria, please don’t implicate me. I don’t want my family company to be bankrupt. Should something happen to the company, my father will cut ties with me.”
Valeria promised not to mention her name and asked, “Do you mind if I sleep in your apartment tonight?”
Zara looked at Valeria and replied, “Please don’t drag me into your mess. I warned you about your obsession with Xavier Taylor, but you didn’t listen to me. I told you that the Taylor family was out of reach, but you went ahead and created this mess.”
