Chapter 257

Even though it was fake, Zoey still felt uncomfortable when she heard it. The sooner I reveal the truthabout the marriage certificate, the better. I'm the only one who deserves to be Mrs. Luther. No otherwoman deserves that title.

Meanwhile, Bailey was typing in the lead designer office inside Luther Group's headquarters.

The words “Resignation Letter” were boldly seen on the screen. She had decided to leave Hallsbayonce the new batch of medicine entered the market.

After being at a loss for so long, I've finally made a choice that seems right to me. Old Mr. Chivers isright. Even if I don't think about myself, I should still consider Zayron and Susan. They are still young,and they deserve to have a worry-free life. They shouldn't be stuck in a life where their perspective onthe world is constantly twisted by rumors and gossip. Artemis... I guess this name will forever only be adream of mine in Hallsbay, however alluring he may be. Even if I'm understanding him gradually, I muststill keep my distance from him.

Right then, the door to her office opened, and she caught sight of Artemis walking in. She quicklymoved her mouse and closed the file. I can't let him know about this for now. Otherwise, I won't be ableto leave.

“Do you need something?” Bailey asked, raising her head.

Silently, Artemis walked toward the office table, propped himself up with his hands, and raised hiseyebrows. “I heard you delegated some of your most important tasks to Stephen. Is your body unableto handle the stress?”

Bailey was stunned. I didn't expect him to be this sensitive. Nothing can be hidden from him, huh?

“Yeah. The new batch of medicine produced by Dyke Pharmaceutical should be completed in a fewdays. So, I need to be on top of my game to deal with it. Since I won't be able to take care of companymatters well, I thought I might as well let Stephen handle it. He's the director of the design department,so logically, he should share my burden.”

“Is that so?” Artemis smiled as he fixed his dark eyes on hers.

The look in his eyes was intense as though he was trying to see through her. Even though Bailey'swillpower was strong, it was still slightly unbearable to her. This man's observation skills are toopowerful. It'll rouse his suspicions if I act oddly, even just a little bit.

“Did my granddad tell you anything in the past few days, Bay?”

Bailey replied, “He did. He's still thinking about my marriage to Edmund. So, whenever I went to theChivers residence, he would ask me about it. He said I was the one who saved his life, so I had to givehim a reason to keep living. For the moment, watching Edmund getting married and having a child isthe most meaningful thing to him.”

Artemis smiled faintly, seemingly believing her, but there was still a look of suspicion in his eyes. “Thenhe's going to be disappointed because you'll never be his granddaughter-in-law. Well, not in the way hehopes, anyway.”

That rendered Bailey speechless. This man is so conceited.

In the living room of the Saunders residence, Vincent and his daughter were talking.

“Dad, the Department of Justice has contacted me for a third time, asking me if I want to file a lawsuitto overturn Victor's case. They'll send him straight to prison if I don't reply to them again. What do youthink about this?” Victoria asked.

Leaning against his chair, Vincent replied with a question of his own instead. “What about you? Whatdo you think should be done?”

“He has a rotten character. Even if we help him this time, he still won't learn his lessons and will makean even bigger mistake in the future. I think it may be a good thing for him to stay in prison for a fewyears.”

Without hesitation, Vincent said, “Then let him stay there. We'll give up on overturning his case.”

Victoria raised her head and stared at him, flabbergasted. “C-Can you really accept that your only sonis going to jail?”

“It has nothing to do with that. He broke the law, so now he's getting punished for it. No exceptions. Thebrat from the Gezmond family will probably deal with me next, which is fine by me. I'll end things withhim. Hopefully, he's willing to let you go.”

“Dad, I—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Vincent raised his hand and stopped her. “Give the Departmentof Justice a call and let them know about our decision.”

On the top floor office of Fashionista, Lionel was having a meeting with several of the company's high-ranking officials when his phone, which was sitting on the table, buzzed.

Soon, a text message popped up on the screen.

It read: Mr. Gezmond, the Saunders family gave up on overturning the case. The Department of Justicehas transferred Victor to Hallsbay's male prison.

Lionel's finger trembled slightly after he read the message. She gave up on appealing? Is she reallygoing to watch her older brother be sent to prison and receive a criminal record?

At that moment, a myriad of emotions flashed through his mind. Sorrow, bitterness, and other negativeemotions hit the weakest spot of his heart repeatedly.

It was the weekend. On the second floor of a large mall in Century Square, Rhonda was shopping inbranded stores with a few young women surrounding her.

She very much enjoyed being treated like a star, for it thoroughly satisfied her ego.

When they exited the store, a young woman with a girl bumped into her.

Rhonda was furious. “Are you blind, b*tch? How dare you bump into me! Do you have a death wish?”

The young woman promptly took two steps backward. “I'm sorry, Ms. Rhonda. I didn't mean to bumpinto you.”

The moment Rhonda heard what the young woman called her, she exploded in fury.

Zoey had called her that in the past to humiliate her. At that moment, she couldn't bear outsiders callingher that.

“Open your eyes and take a good look at who I am, b*tch! I'm the lady of the Luther family! I'm Artemis'official wife, Mrs. Luther! Are you making fun of me by calling me Ms. Rhonda? Or are you mockingme?”

The young woman trembled, her face pale.

Back when Rhonda was just an illegitimate child of the Jefferson family, anyone could offend her andget away with it.

However, at that moment, she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luther family. Thus, she coulddestroy a middle-class family with just one order.

“I-I'm sorry. I was used to people calling you Ms. Rhonda over the past few years, so I—”

Slap!

Rhonda raised her hand and slapped the young woman with so much force that a bright red handprintimmediately appeared on the latter's fair cheek.

The young woman held her swelling cheek and stared at Rhonda with tears. “Who are you to slap me?I already told you I got used to listening to people calling you that. Why did you—”

Once again, she was cut off by two slaps.

Blood could be seen in the corner of the young woman's mouth. “Y-You're a bully, Rhonda.”

Before Rhonda spoke, a young woman on her side mocked, “That's a good slap. You don't deserve tocall Mrs. Luther by her name willy-nilly. If you ask me, I think your mouth should be torn apart so you'llremember not to make the same mistake again.”

“You... You...”
