The butler acknowledged with a nod and prepared to leave.
Bailey quickly interjected, “There's no need to invest such effort and resources, after all, it's just a wedding dress. We can simply have the embroiderers from Strasson do the job.”
However, Waverly was not willing to compromise. She said to the butler, “Listen to me on this matter. Hurry up and contact the chief of staff. Instruct him to mobilize the Shurmer family's global influence and conduct a thorough investigation.”
Sammy responded with a smile and turned to Bailey, saying, “Ms. Bailey, as the legitimate daughter of the Shurmer family, set to marry the eldest son of the Luther family, this is a union of two prestigious families, and we cannot afford any carelessness.”
With that, she left the living room with a cheerful laugh.
Bailey couldn't help but chuckle. If Yrina's disciple refuses to show up, even with the mobilization of international resources, the chances of finding them are likely quite slim.
Seeing a smile on her daughter's lips, Waverly quickly asked, “Bay, what do you think of these embroideries?”
Bailey expressed warmly, “The quality is quite impressive. I suggest inviting more embroiderers to Hallsbay for in-person demonstrations. It's essential to assess their skills before making a decision.”
After contemplating for a moment, Waverly suggested, “I've already instructed the chief of staff to locate Yrina's disciple. Perhaps we can forego these embroiderers. Your wedding dress should be crafted by a highly respected and skilled embroiderer. Yrina's disciple is renowned for her artistry, and even praised by princesses. She is undoubtedly exceptional, and I'm determined to coax her out of seclusion.”
Bailey gently reminded with a smile, “We may not find her disciple anytime soon, so we should have a backup plan.”
Waverly slapped her forehead in self-ridicule, “Oh dear, it seems I'm getting more forgetful as I age. You're absolutely right; we should also consider inviting the embroiderers from Strasson. If we can't locate Yrina's disciple in time, they can serve as a suitable alternative.”
“Sounds like a solid plan. It's getting late. You should get some rest now. I'll go discuss matters with Zeke.”
“All right, all right. If you encounter any challenges, don't hesitate to reach out to your brother. He's now in charge of Shurmer Group. Although it may not have the same international prestige as Artemis', it's still a formidable entity.”
“Okay.”
Upon reaching the second floor, Bailey proceeded to the study.
The door was slightly ajar, and she caught sight of Juliana seated on Zeke's lap, the two of them...
Ahem!
The sound of a cough surprised the two.
Juliana quickly sprang up from Zeke's embrace, casting an awkward look toward the door.
On the other hand, Zeke remained composed, fastening his shirt. He addressed Juliana, “You should return to your room and rest. I'll join you after I finish discussing matters with Bay.”
Blushing, Juliana walked toward the door.
Bailey playfully teased her by extending her leg and blocking the doorway. “My, Juliana, you look even more radiant than ever. There's an enchanting charm in your eyes and expressions. It appears my brother has been showering you with love lately.”
Juliana covered her face, giving her a playful glare as she playfully threatened, “Believe it or not, when you get married, I'll organize a blockade at the door to prevent Mr. Luther from whisking you away.”
Bailey couldn't help but laugh and reached out to take Juliana's wrist to check her pulse.
Juliana blurted out, “I'm not expecting, I've taken precautions.” The moment these words left her lips, she wished she could retract them.
Bailey chuckled. “I see, you've taken precautions. It's a wise decision, especially considering the lingering toxins in your body. Pregnancy wouldn't be suitable at this time.”
As it turned out, she was merely checking the toxin in Juliana's body.
“You...” Juliana, feeling somewhat embarrassed, stomped her foot forcefully, pushed Bailey away, and left the study in a huff.
Watching Juliana hurriedly leave, Bailey couldn't help but chuckle. “Ever since this girl got together with you, she's grown more dignified. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, she's joining the prestigious Shurmer family. When she becomes the matriarch, every word and action will carry great significance.”
