Super Mommy and Her Triplets

When Bailey saw that Artemis was stunned by her words, she bent her knee and positioned it below his waist.

It's easy to make you impotent, Artemis. I just need to boot you right here.

Bailey thought Artemis would let her free and retreat, but the man was way more insufferable than she imagined.

“I know what you're trying to do, Ms. Bailey.”

“What do you think? You'd better scram before anything happens.”

Artemis smirked, and gleams of cunningness shone in his eyes. “How about we make a bet, Ms. Bailey? You can try that, but I'll still be able to make you pregnant.”

Bailey suddenly felt like a deflated balloon.

He's right. Men with erectile dysfunction can still make women pregnant, given how advanced things are nowadays.

“Fine. I surrender. I won't agree with Edmund's proposal for now. You just want me to play along with you, right? Fine. I'll do what you want until you get tired of it.”

Artemis patted the woman's cheek and smiled with his brows quirked. “Well, I might get tired of other women in days, but you're different, Ms. Jefferson. I've never done so much for a woman before. Since I've already made up my mind, there's no way you're escaping my grip your entire life.”

Bailey moved her face aside and evaded his earnest gaze.

Actually, Bailey already knew how Artemis felt about her when the latter took the stab for Zayron.

To help Bailey overcome her trauma so she could repay Glen for his kindness without leaving any regret in her life, Artemis staged a kidnap and risked his own life, allowing himself to be stabbed in the back.

Bailey knew Artemis took extreme actions at the cost of his life because he loved her.

Her sigh echoed in the quiet room as she stared up at the ceiling. “Artemis,” she called out hoarsely, “I gave birth to two children for Simon. From the standpoint of morality, it is unacceptable to be involved romantically with your sister-in-law. You're a man of power in a distinguished family and an influential businessman. You know what our relationship means for your reputation.”

Bailey smiled sadly and continued, “Your mother did everything she could to stop me from marrying into the Chivers family, but she caved in the end. Do you know why? Because she did not want her own son—her successful son—to end up ruining his life because of a woman like me. She would rather sacrifice her nephew to protect you. This means we will never have our family's blessings.”

Artemis' pupils contracted as his fingers continued caressing her cheek.

“This is why I have to fight for you, Bailey. You don't love Edmund. At least, that's what I observed. I'm the one who can cause a ripple in your heart. That is what gives me the confidence to fight for our future.”

As he finished his sentence, he let her go and took two steps back. He smiled at her and added, “You're the only one for me, Bailey.”

Seeing that she did not say a word, Artemis pulled her up from the table and changed the topic. “I already applied to the Drug Administration since you wanted to join the company's drug research team. The person in charge approved the application immediately when he knew that Anonymous was joining.”

Bailey looked up, and the complexity in her eyes dissipated. “I just want to use this opportunity to lure Cadence out from his hiding spot. I'll make sure he pays for setting me up, but don't you worry. I'll do my best to contribute to Luther Group's cancer drug research. Hopefully, this will benefit society one day.”

“All right. I won't do anything to Cadence for now since you're not taking action yet. He ruined Max, and Old Mr. Chivers almost fell prey to his ploy. I'll make sure they are avenged.”

Later that day, Bailey met up with Victoria at a café. The two stared out of the window at the busy street wordlessly until Bailey broke the silence.

“So, have you made up your mind, Vicky? When are you going back to Saunders Group? Are you sure you want to wreck the company's industry chain?”

Victoria stared at her for a brief second. A fleeing hint of astonishment shone in her eyes, but she quickly broke out in a smile. “No way. The Saunders family is my root. They brought me up and educated me. There's no way I'll betray them.”

“Really?” Bailey questioned in a casual tone, swirling the coffee in the cup. “You can't hide anything from me, Vicky. Why did you go to Luther Group after graduating if you take them as your family and do not resent them? Why didn't you stay at your family's company instead?”

Victoria lowered her head. “Luther Group is a multinational company. There are a lot of learning opportunities there. Now that I've acquired some experience, it's only natural for me to return to Saunders Group, so don't overread the situation. I don't have any other motive,” she said calmly.

Bailey smiled coldly. “You're not admitting to anything unless I state it clearly, aren't you, Vicky? Lionel's return means he's ready to take down the Saunderses. You are now joining your family's company to help him, aren't you?”

“No,” Victoria negated outright. “I'm going back to help my family. You're misinterpreting this.”
