Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438

Bailey's face flushed red.

Bailey's face flushed red.

Here goes this scoundrel with his lewd jokes again. Should I thank you for all the love you show me in bed? I don't need it at all. I always end up suffering every time you get excited.

Artemis nibbled at her earlobe, feeling an urge rising in his body.

Oh, no. It has only been a few days, and I already can't take it anymore.

Bailey slapped the man on his head to push him away, seething, “Your daughter is still here. I'm not shameless like you.”

The next second, Susan's kiddish voice suddenly rang within the car. “I'm asleep, Mommy. I'm asleep.”

She even faked snoring right after to make it seem real.

Artemis, Bailey, and the children caused a stir when they arrived at the banquet hall in Century Hotel.

Seeing them, the city mayor went forward and greeted, “Mr. Luther, it's nice to see you here. I didn't know Ms. Carr invited you too.”

Then, the man looked aside at Bailey with a wider smile on his face. “Ms. Jefferson! You've done so much for the people. Our country needs more people like you. It's an honor to meet you.”

Bailey arched her brows at the compliments, smiling faintly. “Thank you, Mr. West. Actually, I think Mr. Luther might be a lot happier if you could change how you address me. If he's in a good mood today, he might donate a billion.”

Jacques West was initially perplexed, but he quickly wrapped his head around Bailey's statement and said, “You're right. It must have been a slip of the tongue. You are 'Mrs. Luther' now, so I shouldn't call you 'Ms. Jefferson' anymore.”

“Why don't you call me 'Mr. Zayron,' then?” Zayron suddenly piped up from beside Bailey.

Bailey glared at him coldly, criticizing, “I'm going to stuff your mouth so you can keep quiet.”

Zayron ignored his mother and looked up at Jacques to continue the conversation. “Mr. West, I'm the next in line to inherit Luther Group. Hallsbay's economic development will be in my hands, so are you sure you don't want to call me ‘Mr. Zayron?’”

“What are you guys talking about, Father?”

A young woman dressed in a classy gown was seen walking over with a glass of wine.

When she beheld Artemis—the very man every woman in Hallsbay adored and wanted—a pink hue spread across her cheeks.




































“Here you are, Chloe. Let me introduce you to one of the most influential businessmen in Hallsbay.”

The way the young woman lowered her head shyly reminded the onlookers of a pure and beautiful burgeoning Hibiscus, easily making her one of the most attractive ladies among the others in prominent families.

However, Bailey disliked Chloe for the look in her eyes when she gazed at Artemis.

I am now an old hag before I even marry into the Luther family. I can't believe I have to deal with these pretty-looking young women everywhere I go.

“Mr. Luther, this is my daughter, Chloe West.”

With that said, Jacques turned to his daughter as he continued, “Chloe, this is Artemis Luther from Luther Group. I'm sure you will learn a lot from him.”

She, along with those women in the upper echelon around her, had thought that Artemis married Bailey only because she bore him three children, but what just happened had proved that that was not the case, for it showed that Bailey had an important place in Artemis' heart.

Artemis probably just finds her interesting because he hasn't gotten bored of her. Right. That must be the case.

With that thought in mind, Chloe looked at her father anxiously, sobbing. “Daddy, I don't want to leave you all. I want to stay here.”

Since Chloe was his only daughter, it went without saying that Jacques did not want her to leave for another country, so he turned down the offer politely. “It is very kind of you to offer, Mrs. Luther, but Chloe has just graduated, so I think it will be good for her to start from the bottom at Luther Group. That will be the best for her.”

Bailey raised her brows, smiling half-heartedly. “You're right. I have overlooked that. Proceed with the original plan, then.”

Bailey Jefferson! I'll remember you. The first thing I'll do when I go to Luther Group will be to take away what's yours. I'll get on Artemis' bed and let him get rid of you.

“Cosmetico's owner, Ms. Carr is here.”

“Oh! I didn't know she is Aplothian. She's a true Aplothian beauty.”

“Her every move exudes elegance.”

The crowd began discussing among themselves as everyone, including Bailey, cast their gazes at the hall entrance.

Bailey was stunned when the graceful middle-aged woman made an entrance—not so much by her beauty—but by the sense of familiarity she felt when she saw her face.

I feel like I've seen her before. Who is she? Why does she remind me of someone I know?
