Super Mommy and Her Triplets -
Chapter 92
Chapter 92
Depriving her of a chance to compete for the lead designer position and advance to the next level inher career, as well as being the subject of people's gossip was even worse than firing her.
Jessica could not accept the outcome. “No, you can't do this to me. You can't just stop me frombecoming the lead designer. It's not fair.”
Artemis pressed his hands on the desk and said with a smirk, “You want to talk about fairness in frontof a capitalist? You must be kidding. You can stay if you want to continue to work for the company. Ifnot, you're always free to get the hell out of here. I know you have Eve behind your back, but she hasno power to influence my decision.”
Jessica blanched at his words. Get the hell out of here? No way. I'll never be able to make a name formyself if I leave Luther Group.
Of all the companies around the world, only Luther Group could help her realize her dream. To her, allthe other companies were nothing but child play. “Fine. I'll accept your decision.”
Looking away, Artemis started checking the documents. “Don't cause trouble anymore. You can'talways expect Eve to get you out of trouble.”
Meanwhile, Felicity was reading a newspaper in the living hall in the Luther residence.
As she was flipping through the pages, she sighed. “What she did was right, but the method she usedwas wrong. I guess I could still use her, though.”
Walking up to her, Caridee glanced at the newspaper and pouted. “This Bailey is quite scary. Whoever
went against her would be unlucky. Look what happened to Rhonda and Janice. Now, even Jessicahas fallen from grace. That woman is quite a capable designer. I would have chosen her gown for mycoming-of-age ceremony had she not plagiarized Snowflake's design.”
Felicity glared at Caridee and reprimanded her, “Stop paying so much attention to that copycat. Wewon't be able to use her gown anymore since the scandal is all over the news. I'll get in touch withJessica and get her to customize another gown for you. I hope this will help her get her position back.”
Narrowing her eyes, Caridee asked, “You must have an ulterior motive for helping Jessica, right? If I'mnot wrong, you want to use her to deal with Bailey, right? Don't you think the plagiarism case could takeher down?”
“It's not that easy.” Felicity sighed. “Artemis and your cousin are defending her, and I'm sure they'replanning their next course of action now. The plaintiff might not win the case. Besides, Artemis is incontrol of Luther Group, and he has the power to influence the verdict.”
A hard glint flashed across her narrowed eyes. “This is going to be a long, arduous battle. I'll do what ittakes to stop Bailey and her b*stards from entering the Luther or the Chivers family.”
“That woman is too much. Does she not know where she stands? She already has two children andstill dreams of marrying into a wealthy family. Does she think she's in a fantasy or something?”
“Women are vain and greedy creatures. We're born into prestigious families, so we'll never understandtheir desire to climb the social ladder.”
Meanwhile, Bailey was leaning on the couch while playing a game on her phone in a unit on level six in
Bayview Condominium.
Victoria came out of the washroom in her nightgown. “I've prepared the clothes for you. I've only wornthem twice, and you can use them temporarily. I'll go to the mall tomorrow and buy you some newclothes.”
Tossing away her phone, Bailey beckoned Victoria over with her finger. “Come here.”
Victoria narrowed her eyes, sneering, “I can't give you the pleasure you need, so it's useless to teaseme.”
What in the world...
“You totally crushed Jessica and ruined her future. Are you not afraid that she might take revengeagainst you?”
Strolling over, Victoria sat beside her and snorted. “Never. Fear isn't in my vocabulary.”
“How about Lionel? What if he decides to take revenge against you? Are you not afraid of him?”
At that, Victoria froze as dead silence ensued.
Bailey sat straight up and cupped Victoria's shoulders with her hands. “Vicky, let's have a talk aboutLionel. Stop running away, okay?”
“W-Why should we talk about him? Let's not dwell on the past,” Victoria responded to Bailey's questionin a shivering voice.
“Look at me.” Bailey pulled Victoria over, forcing the latter to look into her eyes. “Look into my eyes andtell me you don't love that man anymore.”
“D-Don't do this to me, Bay.”
Upon noticing the tears that welled in Victoria's eyes, Bailey released her friend from her grip. “I havenews about Lionel,” she informed.
“Stop right there.” Victoria covered her ears and pleaded with Bailey in a husky voice, “Let's not talkabout him, Bay. We talk about something else, okay?”
“He's married.”
“Stop.”
“He has a child now.”
“Bailey, stop it. Stop it!”
Tears rolled down Victoria's cheeks. Looking wretched, she continued begging Bailey, “Stop adding saltto my wound, Bay. It hurts like hell.”
Bailey's red-rimmed eyes sparkled with tears. She held Victoria up when the latter was about to fall andremarked in a hoarse voice, “He married his wife at Illurasia, and the marriage will last for a hundredyears. Their son is seven years old now. He has moved on, Vicky. You should as well.”
Falling into Bailey's arms, Victoria started bawling. “I'm still waiting for him. I'm waiting for him to exacthis revenge, to marry me. H-How could he marry someone else? Why? How could he forget the lovewe once had? Is it true that all men are heartless creatures?”
Tilting her head to prevent the tears from rolling down, Bailey forced a smile. “Men are worse thandogs. Have we not learned this in university? How can you trust the promises men made?”
“But I love him!” Victoria roared. “I love him. I love him very much! He has become a part of me now.That's why I'm in so much pain. He loved me too, and he promised to bring me to...”
He promised to bring me to Illurasia to register our marriage. He made that promise. But where's henow? I lost him. No... he abandoned me. He went to Illurasia with another woman to register theirmarriage. Their marriage certificate will even last for a hundred years.
“That's not possible anymore, Vicky. It's over between you and Lionel the day Mr. Benjamin passedaway due to a heart attack. Since the day your father sent him to sleep with his stepmother, it was overbetween you two. Let's give up, Vicky. You're still young and have a life ahead of you. Why cling ontothis man?”
Victoria burst into tears.
Bailey embraced her tightly. She could feel the pain and despair Victoria was in.
She had avoided mentioning Lionel in front of Victoria in the last few years, but now since she hadfound out that Lionel was married and had a son, she could not keep this to herself anymore.
