Chapter 179
It went almost the same as Bailey had guessed.
She thought something was fishy upon knowing a few days ago that Les Cinq Series was a plagiarised
work based on the children's clothing line that Emmy Boutique had launched two years ago.
Since there are so many boutiques worldwide, why did Jessica choose Emmy Boutique?
Deep down, she believed someone must have helped Jessica secretly. Also, that person was likely the
weird disciple she accepted.
“Master, I only wanted to throw Jessica a curveball because she's evil-hearted. She would scheme
against you anyway, even if I didn't act. I understand that you're competent, but it's difficult to survive all
of her tricks.”
Bailey massaged her forehead for a while and heaved a sigh. “Julie, you're the eldest daughter of the
royal family in Adrune. Given your noble status, you shouldn't scheme against someone for me. After
all, your reputation will be affected if someone finds out.”
“I'm not afraid.” Juliana suddenly hugged Bailey and rested her head against Bailey's shoulder. “Master,
many mistreat you and wish to see you fall. I've chosen to act because I can't stand it anymore.”
Bailey's gaze softened. She patted Juliana's head and said smilingly, “All right. Anyway, it's good to let
you find out how complicated and evil humans can sometimes be. Since you'll have to reign over the
kingdom and become one of the most powerful women, it's time to learn and grow up.”
Juliana grinned upon hearing it. “I don't want to go home to take over the throne. Since it's relaxing and
fun to be with you, why should I go back to suffer? You will protect me until I reach thirty, won't you? I
don't want my family members to take me back and force me to be a doll everyone worships.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBailey raised her eyebrows and flashed Juliana a smirk. “Well, you can avoid becoming a doll by
marrying a man who comes from a prominent family. With the protection of your husband's family, your
father probably won't count on you to take over his throne anymore.”
“Forget it. My father was infuriated when my sister was pregnant out of wedlock. I don't want to follow
in her footsteps.”
The next moment, Bailey pulled Juliana closer, patted her beautiful face, and sighed. “Ah, how pity! You
have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Nonetheless, I'll feel proud if you inherit the
throne.”
“Master...”
“All right. I'll stop teasing you. Now, tell me what the dirt is you have on Jessica.”
Once Bailey finished, Juliana got energetic and boasted about her capabilities for several minutes. In
the end, she proudly explained that she had caught the designer of the Les Cinq Series and the low-
level staff who switched the draft to something else for Jessica.
Bailey generously praised Juliana for what she did. When Juliana gleefully continued, a shiver ran
down Bailey's spine. “Jessica was so weak and was easy to deal with. Yet, you had to do so much to
finish her off. I was even forced to reveal that I'm the boss of Emmy Boutique. It's not worthwhile
because we took a musket to kill a butterfly.”
Bailey was at a loss for words.
After saying goodbye to Jessica, Rhonda didn't return to the Luther residence but headed to the
Jefferson residence instead.
In the living room, Rhonda explained to Beatrice the information she got from Jessica earlier.
“Mom, what should I do? Jessica can't escape this time. However, if we don't save her, she might
expose our seven-year-old secret to Artemis.”
With a grim expression, Beatrice gritted her teeth and replied, “You shouldn't have chosen the idiot as
your ally in the first place. I mean, she jumped right into the trap that others set up. No wonder Bailey
could fool her so easily. She brought this upon herself!”
Rhonda looked at her in a daze and frowned. “Mom, what do you mean by that? Did Bailey fool her?
What does it have to do with Bailey?”
Suddenly, Rhonda stopped talking and gave it some thought. After a while, realization finally dawned
on her.
“Mom, do you mean Bailey is the mastermind behind the trap Emmy Boutique set for Jessica?”
“She's related even if she wasn't responsible for everything.”
Rhonda shivered upon hearing it.
As far as she knew, Emmy Boutique was established six years ago, and the owner was a woman from
Aploth in her twenties.
After Bailey was revealed to have the identities of many big shots, Rhonda couldn't help but think the
mysterious owner of Emmy Boutique could be Bailey.
Beatrice had seemingly read Rhonda's mind and sighed. “Nothing is impossible, and the same thing
applies to Bailey. You guess she might be the boss of Emmy Boutique, right? Who knows if news about
her identity will come out tomorrow? Bailey has transformed herself after living out of the country for
seven years.”
Clenching her fists and gritting her teeth, Rhonda said, “In that case, will she escape unscathed again?
Will our hard work turn into a joke?”
“That's right. Let's assume Bailey is Emmy Boutique's boss. Given that the boutique has obtained
evidence of Jessica switching the design drafts, there will be only one outcome— Jessica goes to jail.
Then, Luther Group's shareholders will invite Bailey to return to the company again. Do you know why
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArtemis fired Bailey? It's his tactic to show his affection and indulgence toward her. He wants Luther
Group's shareholders to kneel before Bailey now so that her position in the company will be firmer than
ever.”
Feeling dizzy, Rhonda murmured, “Why does he love her so much? Why is he willing to trample on the
shareholders' pride for her? What about me? What should I do?”
Instantly, a ferocious glint flashed across Beatrice's eyes. “Since you can neither win his heart nor his
body, you must secure your title. Make everyone respectfully call you Mrs. Luther forever.”
Rhonda let out a self-deprecating laugh. “Ha! Secure the title? Mrs. Luther? How difficult! I haven't
achieved what I want even after seven years of trying. Now that Artemis has fallen for Bailey, it's even
more challenging for me. Mom, the harsh reality has made it clear that you're asking for the
impossible.”
After a while, Rhonda shook her head and added helplessly, “Now that Jessica still troubles me, I don't
have time to think about other things. If that woman exposes the truth that happened seven years ago,
I might not be able to stay alive, let alone become Mrs. Luther.”
“In that case, kill her,” Beatrice said with an evil expression.
Rhonda got emotional. “No. Bailey is keeping an eye on her now. If she dies, Bailey will discover us
sooner or later.”
Once Rhonda finished, Beatrice's murderous aura faded away. She then said smilingly, “I was merely
testing you. The truth is you're a lot more mature now. Ronni, the battle hasn't ended, and no one
knows the ending. Hence, you shall not give up. Since the woman can't die now, we can resort to
another way to shut her up. For instance... who knows if she might suddenly lose her memory?”
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashed across Rhonda's eyes. “You're right. We don't have to kill Jessica
but just make her lose her memory. Thank you, Mom. I know what I should do.”
