Chapter 332

Victoria was stunned.

She followed her gaze and looked down.

She was wearing her nightgown. However, after all that moving, a large part of her front was exposed.

The marks left by Lionel looked especially glaring on her fair skin.

What Victoria felt when her best friend saw her in this miserable state was a deep shame. Instinctively,she pulled up her nightgown to cover them and said in a hoarse voice, “Don't look at me. I'm dirty.”

Smack!

In anger, Bailey slapped the back of Victoria's head and scolded her, “Vicky, is that how you view ourfriendship for gosh, how many years already? That time, when someone forced himself on me andmade me pregnant, who was the one who took me in and let me stay in their condominium for sevenwhole months? Why the heck didn't you think I was dirty then?”

As Bailey talked about it, she began to choke on her words in sadness.

Victoria smiled bitterly. “I'm sorry. I was not in my right mind. Don't take it to heart.”

Bailey dragged Victoria to the dressing room and said, “Get changed and leave here with me. Let'signore those scummy b*stards and run as far away as we can. We should steer clear of them from nowon.”

Staring dumbly at Bailey, Victoria frowned and asked, “Are you leaving Hallsbay? And you're going totake me with you?”

“Yes,” Bailey answered. “All Artemis that scumbag has in his head are ways to get me to sleep withhim. I'm afraid I will fail to resist his temptation one day and fall into his trap. I should leave while I'm notthat deeply involved with him.”

Victoria stayed silent for a while before saying, “Since you two love each other, why don't you give it atry? Life is short, and replaceing someone you love is really hard. Are you sure you're okay giving it up likethis?”

Bailey stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Victoria with a self-deprecating smile. “Zayron andSusan's biological father is Simon. This is the truth. No matter how powerful we are, we can't changethe fact. The only thing I can do is to provide a good living environment for the children. We can'tdestroy their futures just because we can't control ourselves.”

Victoria pursed her lips and smiled helplessly. “All right, fine. I respect your decision. But I can't go. Ican't go until Lionel has promised to spare my father.”

Bailey's face darkened. She narrowed her eyes and asked through gritted teeth, “At this point, rumorsabout you being a sugar baby and having fallen so far as to become someone's mistress are literallyeverywhere! Now that your backer isn't revealed yet, you can still save yourself. Do you know whatwould happen to you if Lionel was exposed?”

“I know.” Looking at Bailey, Victoria calmly continued, “Everyone will curse at me for being ahomewrecker who ruined someone else's marriage. Many would even think I have approached andseduced Lionel with ulterior motives, like trying to take Saunders Group back from him.”

“If you know, why aren't you leaving with me?”

“Bay, what I'm experiencing now, Lionel had experienced it seven years ago. He had been cursed bythe masses that he was so depraved that he slept with his stepmother and cuckolded his father. Hewas considered a piece of utter trash. You see? He had it worse than me.”

“You...” Bailey was furious. Just as she was about to knock Victoria out cold so she could forcefullydrag her away, Victoria darted to the side and evaded her.

Victoria knew Bailey too well. She smiled and said, “Bay, let me end this accursed relationship. I havealready paid my price. If I can't witness the ending, all of my sacrifices will be in vain.”

Bailey opened her mouth to say something but decided against it once she saw Victoria's stubborn yetdetermined face.

“Fine. Since you insist, I shouldn't force this on you. Take good care of yourself. I need to go out of thecountry for some time. Something's wrong at Vero's place, and I need to deal with it. Keep yourselfsafe, always. If you ever decide to leave Hallsbay, use our exclusive contact number to call me. I'll sendfor someone to fetch you immediately.”

“Okay.”

After leaving the seaside mansion, Bailey went to the Chivers residence.

She first visited Glen before chatting with Gwendolyn for some time.

When Bailey was about to leave, Gwendolyn held her hand and said smilingly, “I await the time youbecome our daughter-in-law.”

Ever since Yoel knew about Bailey's many identities, the man wasn't opposed to her marrying his son.Yoel was now of the same mind as Gwendolyn and Edmund. Now, they wanted Bailey to marry intotheir family.

Reaching out and hugging Gwendolyn, Bailey leaned in and said in her ear, “Since I was young, myparents had always been lukewarm toward me. However, from you, Mrs. Chivers, I felt motherly love.Actually, I have long thought of you as my own mother. So, take care of yourself. I will try my best tofulfill your wishes.”

Gwendolyn broke into a beaming smile. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Okay, okay. That's wonderful.Wonderful.”

Under the moonlight, Edmund and Bailey were walking on the narrow road to the parking lot.

“Have you decided when you are leaving?” Edmund asked.

Smiling faintly, Bailey glanced at him from the side and said in a teasing tone, “Why do I keep sensingthat you're eagerly waiting for this moment to come?”

“You're right.” Edmund was candid. “I am overjoyed that I can take you away from Hallsbay.”

Bailey shook her head. With a straight face, she said, “No, we can't leave together. Artemis will stopus.”

Edmund was not surprised at all. He had known this would happen. “I mean we can finally leaveHallsbay and live the kind of life we used to have overseas. Oh, yeah, have you thought of a way toleave?”
