Back at the infirmary, Bailey walked into the ward with a smile.

Chloe began to work herself up as soon as she saw her.

“Bailey! You tricked me! How dare you set me up? I'm going to kill you!”

Right after saying that, she turned around and tried to get off the bed, only to feel a sharp pain up her legs. Having just lost her innocence, she didn't have the strength to stand, and she fell to the floor as her legs turned to jelly.

The impact of the fall caused her wounds to reopen, and she bawled her eyes out due to the pain.

“How could you do this? You're a woman too! Don't you know how much a woman values her innocence?”

Bailey scoffed.

To think this woman still had the audacity to blame her.

“You say you know how important a woman's innocence is to her, but did you ever think about my innocence when you destroyed my reputation at that time? I'm not your mother, young lady. I have no reason to put up with you. Take this as a lesson and remember: don't ever try to do someone dirty again, because what goes around will always come around. It's just a matter of time.”

Chloe stared at her in bewilderment. “Y-You knew?” she asked, her voice trembling.

Bailey smirked. “Did you think you were being that secretive? I'm Bailey Jefferson. If there's one thing I gained from all the hurt people caused me, it would be a pair of keen eyes. It only took me a split second to see through your intentions. This happened to you only because you tried to plot against me.”


Having been exposed, Chloe no longer saw the need to maintain a facade. “You won't be laughing for long, Bailey,” she declared with gritted teeth. “Dellmoor's already sent its people to look into you, and my dad's close friend is in charge. He'll sentence you to prison soon enough, so you can look forward to life behind bars!”

“Sure.” Bailey grinned. “I look forward to your dad's friend dragging me into prison. You'd better not disappoint me after getting my hopes up, Ms. West.”

Unable to stand the smug look on Bailey's face, Chloe lashed out at her only to be slapped across the face instead.

“You b*tch! How dare you hit me!”

Bailey shrugged. “I already made you lose your innocence. What makes you think I wouldn't dare hit you? I'd like to see your mighty dad try to put me behind bars.”

“You!”

“Have a pleasant recovery, Ms. West. Oh, by the way, your huge scandal is affecting the company's reputation, so I suppose I should fire you as the soon-to-be Mrs. Luther. As of this day onward, you're no longer an employee of Luther Group.”

Chloe jumped up in rage, but that was her limit. Her legs felt so heavy that she couldn't move an inch from where she was.

Thus, she could only watch Bailey leave haughtily. “Just you wait, Bailey Jefferson. You're going to die a miserable death.”

Funnily, everyone who wished that upon Bailey always ended up dying themselves.

Bailey's phone rang as soon as she left the ward.

She took the device out of her pocket and realized it was a text message from the leader of the university's chat group: Hi, Ms. Bailey. We've gotten our remittance certificates ready. Can we submit them now?

Bailey initially wanted to say that there was no need.

She could easily take down the West family.

Didn't Ms. West say her father's friend from Dellmoor will be coming over to investigate me and put me behind bars? I'm going to use that and ruin the West family once and for all.

As though having read her mind, the other party added: Please don't say no, Ms. Bailey. If you do, we'll all take up loans to return all the subsidies you've given us.

Bailey was speechless.

Sighing, she replied: Fine. Someone's about to try and send me to prison. I'll need you guys' help when that time comes, but for now, it's all good.
