Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185

If this is what the man wants, I'll do my best to satisfy his demand.

Artemis stood up from the chair, placed his hands on the table, and looked at her with a smile. “I thought you were a smart person, Victoria. Since you're friends with Bailey, I thought that at least you won't be that stupid, but I am disappointed by your decision today,” he remarked, enunciating every single word.

Victoria bowed deeply, and her tone remained firm. “You need not use reverse psychology on me, Mr. Luther. I've made up my mind, and I won't change it because of anyone. Saunders Group is now in need of people, and I want to go back to help my father.”

“Is that so?” A mysterious smile appeared on Artemis' face. “The reason Saunders Group achieved its current glory is entirely due to the annexation of Gezmond Group. Would it not unsettle you when you go back? Or do you have other plans, such as... handing over Saunders Group to the original owner.”

As Victoria trembled slightly, her expression also gradually stiffened. She replied in a somewhat shaky voice, “You've gone too far with your words, Mr. Luther. No matter what, the Saunders family is my origin. How can I bring disaster upon my family by opening the door to a dangerous foe?”

Hearing that, Artemis spread his hands and apologized, “I'm sorry. My words were improper. All right. Since you insist on leaving, I won't force you to stay. I wish you good luck in your future career.”

With that, he reached for the pen on the table and signed his name on the resignation letter.

Victoria curled her stiff lips and forced a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Luther. I'll hand over all the work at hand to Mr. Hathaway.”

With that, she gave him another bow, then turned around and walked toward the door.

She had merely taken two steps when Artemis' deep voice suddenly came from behind. “Some people are destined to become only a memory, for they have a complete life now, while there are also some people whom we should firmly grasp. Dwayne can be considered the most outstanding young man in Hallsbay. The Derning family is also a famous family of scholars. I hope you cherish him.”

Victoria stopped in her tracks and stood still for a few seconds before stepping forward again. “Thank you for the advice, Mr. Luther. If something is meant to happen in life, it will happen.”

Meanwhile, in the infirmary of the Chivers residence, Bailey was doing a post-operative examination on Glen.

“How is it? Is Grandpa's condition stable?” Edmund asked from the side.

Bailey put away the stethoscope, looked at the wound on the old man's head again, and chuckled. “I told you that I know how to read faces and understand the art of fortune-telling. Old Mr. Chivers is blessed with longevity. It's truly not something I made up.”

Hearing this, Edmund could not hold back his laughter. “Even if he's blessed with longevity, he probably wouldn't live past this year if he hadn't met you. It's all thanks to you. On behalf of the Chivers family, I thank you for saving his life.”

After speaking, he took a step back and bowed deeply at her.

Bailey quickly helped him up and glared at him. “What are you doing? If that's how you're going to calculate things, my family still owes your family five lives. Old Mr. Chivers saved my granny and mother, while you saved me, Zayron, and Susan. How should I pay you back?”

Edmund reached out and clasped her arm before saying with a smile, “Then marry into the Chivers family and be filial to Grandpa as his granddaughter-in-law, and also fulfill my dream all these years. You are the only one I want in this lifetime, Bay, and I won't marry anyone else.”

Cough! Cough!

Glen's light coughs came from the bed. “Silly boy! How can you propose to her like this? No wonder you haven't won her over after pursuing her for so many years. You truly don't know how to be romantic. First of all, the atmosphere isn't right. Secondly, there aren't any flowers, and thirdly, no ring. I'll be shocked if Bay said yes.”

Edmund was rendered speechless.

Bailey, on the other hand, snickered. “That's right. With such an insincere proposal, you only have yourself to blame for my rejection,” she teased.
