Super Mommy and Her Triplets

The assistant was shocked as she stared at Victoria in bewilderment.

“M-Ms. Saunders, are you feeling under the weather? Should I accompany you to the hospital?”

Wearing a bitter smile, Victoria gradually lowered her head and replied, “I'm fine.”

After saying that, she fell silent for some time before suddenly muttering, “If I sell some shares illegally to obtain a large amount of cash, will I be imprisoned for a few years?”

“Ms. Saunders, w-what do you mean?”

Victoria took a deep breath, looked up at her assistant, and grinned. “It's nothing. My mind was not working properly, so I spouted some nonsense. Let's go. We'll go back to the company first.”

Lucy was rendered speechless by Victoria's response.

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office at Luther Group, Bailey pushed the door open and strode into the room.

She asked, “So, are there any updates on Kayden's whereabouts?”

Kayden was the only witness who could testify Cadence was the mastermind. Only by arresting Kayden could they completely eliminate Cadence, who was a ticking time bomb.

Bailey felt ill at ease, knowing Cadence was still alive and lurking in the shadows.

Artemis put down the pen in his hand and shook his head. “No. He must have planned his escape route in advance, so there's no way to track him down at the moment. Give me another two days. I reckon we'll receive some news soon because I've also mobilized the underworld forces to borrow their influence for this manhunt.”

Bailey walked up to the curved desk and rested her palms on the tabletop. Then, she leaned forward and arched her brows at him. “Underworld forces? It seems like you're not as simple as you appear to be, Mr. Luther. Perhaps you're hiding many more secrets behind your identity as the person in charge of Luther Group?”

Artemis leaned closer to her, lifted his head, and gently pecked the corner of her lips twice.

“Why don't you make a guess?”

She slapped him on his head and pushed him away.

“It's fine even if you don't want to tell me.”

Artemis was about to say something when Dwayne entered.

“Mr. Luther, something bad happened. The news of Ms. Shurmer being taken away by the authorities has leaked to the public, including the reason behind her arrest. This topic is being hotly discussed over the internet, and everyone is waiting for Ms. Anonymous to step up.”

“Waiting for me?” Bailey pointed at herself in perplexity. “Why are they waiting for me?”

Dwayne scratched his nose and took two steps back.

He was afraid of getting dragged into the mess because he sensed the devilish aura enveloping Bailey's body.

“They are waiting for you to publish the test report to verify whether or not the batch of new medications has been tampered with. If the test report is negative, Ms. Shurmer will at most be charged with attempting to commit a crime and be detained for two weeks. However, if the new medications are indeed contaminated, Ms. Shurmer will be proven guilty for her crimes and will likely be sentenced.”

Bailey raised her eyebrow.

I see. Does that mean I'm in control of Zoey's fate?

She looked sideways at Artemis and flashed a sinister smile. “Your first crush's fate lies within my hands. Are you going to beg me to show her mercy?”

Artemis waved his hand to chase Dwayne out of the room. Then, he walked past the curved desk and stopped in front of her. Wrapping his arm around Bailey's waist, he pulled her into his embrace.

Seemingly used to his action, Bailey did not struggle. Instead, she beamed at him, dazzling him with her gorgeous smile.

Artemis' heart softened at that sight. He could not help but lean in to kiss her eyebrows while he chirped, “In that case, please show Zoey sympathy and spare her life. However, you did mention her as my first crush. Well, she's not qualified. There's no place for a first crush in my heart because you've already occupied every inch of my heart.”

Bailey shuddered in disgust, and she felt goosebumps all over her body.

He's really becoming more and more flirtatious.

“What if I refuse to do so? After all, Zoey provoked me first. I am not a saint. If others dare to lay a finger on me, there's no way I will do nothing and endure in silence. If Cadence did not make her his scapegoat, or if I had not taken the necessary precautions, she might have just gotten her way and put me behind bars. How am I different from those innocent fools out there if I forgive her so easily?”

Artemis' smile grew wider as his grip around her waist tightened.

He uttered tenderly, “If that's the case, then enjoy to your heart's content so long as you don't kill her in the process. I'm afraid members of the Shurmer family will target you relentlessly if they're driven to desperation.”

Bailey looked at him in amusement as a sense of gratification filled her chest.

Artemis wondered if Bailey realized how beautiful or exceptionally captivating her facial expression was at that moment.

“You're such a heartless person, Mr. Luther. Ms. Shurmer once saved your life, after all. Are you going to stand by and watch as I play with her like a cat does with a mouse?”

He reached out to caress her delicate face, seemingly enticed by and losing himself in her enchanting smile.

If we were living in ancient times, and I had ascended the throne, I'm sure I would be a terrible ruler of ill-repute with Bailey by my side. Toying with my council members to please her is nothing. I'm even willing to fail all my subjects and wreak havoc in this world for her.

“Bay, you are the only person I love. Zoey did save my life. If she wants me to repay her one day, she can just stab me with a knife, and I will not resist. However, I cannot allow her to harm you because that is beyond my tolerance.”

Bailey gradually put away the smile on her face.
