Super Mommy and Her Triplets

He must be crazy. God knows what he'll do if I don't take his card. Why do I feel like I just dug my own grave, and this man is gladly burying me alive now?

“Give me the card,” Bailey seethed between her teeth, clenching her jaw.

This put a smile on Artemis' face. He gave her back the card and reminded her, “You're mine now that you took it, Bailey. You'd better remember that you belong only to me for the rest of your life. Understood?”

Bailey bit her lip hard. Pleased, Artemis burst out in a hearty laugh, and his melodious voice echoed in the room. “All right. I'll stop teasing you. Tell me. Whose account did you hack this time?”

Bailey rolled her eyes and went on to tell him about Veronique.

Artemis frowned when he learned about what happened. “Do you know that the top brass will not let you off the hook so easily? You just hacked into the country's research center's system. They'll definitely send professionals to track you down. It'll be bad for you once they get their hands on you.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes at him. “Are you suggesting that I should hide all my traces? Veronique will be caught in a tight spot if that's the case. Mr. Yardley is helping her out of his goodwill. If I pull the rug from under his feet now, it'll be difficult for Vero to face him.”

“I didn't ask you to cover all your traces. You'll have to deliver your promise since you gave her your word. What I mean is you should give me your account, so even if they really trace it back to the hacker, they will come to me instead of you.”

Bailey was caught by surprise. She looked at Artemis with uncertainty in her eyes and asked, “Artemis, you...”

Do you love me this much? Don't you know this might ruin you? Are you willing to shoulder the consequences for me?

Artemis pulled her into his embrace and assured her, “I told you I'd treat you like a queen. I don't care if this means people will step all over me, Bay. I want to carry everything for you, including all the darkness you have to face on your own. Are you willing to let me bear this burden for you?”

Bailey's heart beat fast.

If a man is willing to take all your burden for you, he genuinely loves you. He's someone I can spend the rest of my life with, but things are not as straightforward. I still have to consider Simon and Edmund. They're both Artemis' family members. I can't just dismiss their feelings and what the world thinks about me.

“I'll let someone manage the account so they won't trace it back to me. Don't be too nice to me, Artemis. I don't deserve it.”

After receiving Scarlett's details, Veronique spent the next few days in a dilemma without being able to come to a decision.

She could kneel before anyone to beg that person to donate their bone marrow, but not Scarlett.

She's Justin's fiancée! What if they find out who Zephyr is? If Scarlett finds out that Zephyr's Justin's son, she might even want to kill the boy—let alone donate her bone marrow to him. Zephyr will be in danger!

Back at home, Bailey was leaning against the book rack in her study when she called out to Juliana, who was reclining on the couch. “I need you to do something for me. I need it done perfectly.”

Then, Bailey told Juliana how she found her drug compromised during the production phase at Dyke Pharmaceutical.

Juliana shot up from the couch angrily. “For real? Is someone trying to mess with you again? Seriously, Master, just how many people did you offend? You can't even live a single day in peace.”

“Enough nonsense. I just found out that Zeke has arrived at Hallsbay, so find time to meet him. Remember, don't give the game away. I just want to know Zeke's attitude toward the issue. I want to know if he's involved.”

“Okay,” Juliana promised with her eyes shimmering and smiling. “I heard Mr. Zeke from the Shurmer family is well-known and dashing. I've always wanted to meet him in person.”

“Just get out,” Bailey replied, waving her hand.

Then, Bailey went over to Luther Group to sort out some important documents. After that, she got ready to go to the medical base to check on Maxton, but just as she was leaving, she heard the sound of high heels coming in her direction.

She looked up instinctively, and what she saw made her jaw drop.

She is gorgeous! Carrying an air of classiness, the woman of about Bailey's age walked elegantly toward her, but above all else, her face was the most attractive trait.

Bailey felt she had seen that woman somewhere before, for her face was fresh in her memory. It was just that Bailey could not recall where she met that woman.

When the young woman walked past her, Bailey could feel the dignified air of her imposing presence.

Out of curiosity, Bailey slowed down and looked back.

The head of the secretary department had just come out of the office to greet that woman. “Ms. Shurmer,” he said politely. “Mr. Luther requested that you wait at the CEO's office.”

Zoey showed a graceful smile and nodded. “Thank you. Is Artemis in the office?”

“He's in a meeting now. He'll probably be back in a few minutes. Why don't you follow me to his office first?”

“Sure. Thanks.”

Bailey's eyes trailed the secretary and Zoey as they entered the office.

Her eyes twitched when she realized Zoey's voice sounded familiar to her.
