Chapter 185

If this is what the man wants, I'll do my best to satisfy his demand.

Artemis stood up from the chair, placed his hands on the table, and looked at her with a smile. “I

thought you were a smart person, Victoria. Since you're friends with Bailey, I thought that at least you

won't be that stupid, but I am disappointed by your decision today,” he remarked, enunciating every

single word.

Victoria bowed deeply, and her tone remained firm. “You need not use reverse psychology on me, Mr.

Luther. I've made up my mind, and I won't change it because of anyone. Saunders Group is now in

need of people, and I want to go back to help my father.”

“Is that so?” A mysterious smile appeared on Artemis' face. “The reason Saunders Group achieved its

current glory is entirely due to the annexation of Gezmond Group. Would it not unsettle you when you

go back? Or do you have other plans, such as... handing over Saunders Group to the original owner.”

As Victoria trembled slightly, her expression also gradually stiffened. She replied in a somewhat shaky

voice, “You've gone too far with your words, Mr. Luther. No matter what, the Saunders family is my

origin. How can I bring disaster upon my family by opening the door to a dangerous foe?”

Hearing that, Artemis spread his hands and apologized, “I'm sorry. My words were improper. All right.

Since you insist on leaving, I won't force you to stay. I wish you good luck in your future career.”

With that, he reached for the pen on the table and signed his name on the resignation letter.

Victoria curled her stiff lips and forced a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Luther. I'll hand over all the work at

hand to Mr. Hathaway.”

With that, she gave him another bow, then turned around and walked toward the door.

She had merely taken two steps when Artemis' deep voice suddenly came from behind. “Some people

are destined to become only a memory, for they have a complete life now, while there are also some

people whom we should firmly grasp. Dwayne can be considered the most outstanding young man in

Hallsbay. The Derning family is also a famous family of scholars. I hope you cherish him.”

Victoria stopped in her tracks and stood still for a few seconds before stepping forward again. “Thank

you for the advice, Mr. Luther. If something is meant to happen in life, it will happen.”

Meanwhile, in the infirmary of the Chivers residence, Bailey was doing a post-operative examination on

Glen.

“How is it? Is Grandpa's condition stable?” Edmund asked from the side.

Bailey put away the stethoscope, looked at the wound on the old man's head again, and chuckled. “I

told you that I know how to read faces and understand the art of fortune-telling. Old Mr. Chivers is

blessed with longevity. It's truly not something I made up.”

Hearing this, Edmund could not hold back his laughter. “Even if he's blessed with longevity, he probably

wouldn't live past this year if he hadn't met you. It's all thanks to you. On behalf of the Chivers family, I

thank you for saving his life.”

After speaking, he took a step back and bowed deeply at her.

Bailey quickly helped him up and glared at him. “What are you doing? If that's how you're going to

calculate things, my family still owes your family five lives. Old Mr. Chivers saved my granny and

mother, while you saved me, Zayron, and Susan. How should I pay you back?”

Edmund reached out and clasped her arm before saying with a smile, “Then marry into the Chivers

family and be filial to Grandpa as his granddaughter-in-law, and also fulfill my dream all these years.

You are the only one I want in this lifetime, Bay, and I won't marry anyone else.”

Cough! Cough!

Glen's light coughs came from the bed. “Silly boy! How can you propose to her like this? No wonder

you haven't won her over after pursuing her for so many years. You truly don't know how to be

romantic. First of all, the atmosphere isn't right. Secondly, there aren't any flowers, and thirdly, no ring.

I'll be shocked if Bay said yes.”

Edmund was rendered speechless.

Bailey, on the other hand, snickered. “That's right. With such an insincere proposal, you only have

yourself to blame for my rejection,” she teased.

After saying that, she reached out and patted his shoulder, adding, “Be more thoughtful, young man.”

Edmund was so amused by the two of them that he reached out and massaged his forehead. He gave

Glen a look of slight reproach and whined, “Couldn't you have pretended to be asleep, Grandpa? Bay

was about to say yes but look what you've done. You messed it up.”

Glen grunted twice in response before looking over at Bailey. “When will I be able to get out of bed,

Bay? It's Cari's coming-of-age ceremony in a few days. She's my only granddaughter, so I must

attend.”

Bailey replied with a smile, “Don't worry. With my medicine, you'll surely be able to attend your precious

granddaughter's coming-of-age ceremony.”

The old man looked at the pair by his bedside and broke into a satisfied smile. “Make preparations,

Eddy. After Cari's coming-of-age ceremony, I'll personally organize your wedding.”

A joyous look manifested on Edmund's handsome face. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Bailey was slightly taken aback. When she came to her senses, she said with a faint smile, “There's no

hurry. Let's wait until you've fully recovered before discussing this.”

Despite it being a polite refusal, it sounded more like acquiescence to Edmund.

In a trice, his smile grew wider.

“What are you guys talking about?”

A curious voice came from the door, and in the next second, Felicity, Artemis, Yoel, and his wife came

in from outside.

Glen's eyes flickered around the newcomers before falling on Yoel. “I'll decide on Eddy's marriage, and

none of you are allowed to object. After Cari's coming-of-age ceremony, you shall start preparing for his

marriage with Bay,” he said bluntly.

Hearing that, Yoel furrowed his brows.

At that moment, the huge ward was so silent that one could hear a pin drop, and the atmosphere

became tense and depressing.

To everyone's surprise, Felicity spoke up, not against but in favor of it. “I was a fool for being ignorant in

the past. I misunderstood Bailey and denied her exceptional qualities. Since she and Ed truly love each

other, I think it's all right to give them my blessings.”

Several gazes shot toward her, some appearing surprised, some with mixed emotions, some doubtful,

and some uncomprehending.

Bailey lowered her head slightly as the corner of her lips evoked a cold smirk.

This old woman is worried that I'll seduce Artemis, get my hands on the man at the helm of Luther

Group, and ruin the entire Luther family. After all, I gave birth to two children for Simon. If I end up

marrying Artemis, the brothers would share a woman, and their family would be heavily criticized by

those outsiders. Hah! She's willing to sacrifice her nephew for the sake of her son. Humans are indeed

selfish creatures.

“What are you all doing looking at me like this? Father has agreed to this marriage. Is there any point in

me objecting? Since it's pointless, why should I say anything more? To anger him for nothing and affect

his health?”

A strange smile suddenly manifested upon Artemis' face.

Even though it was very faint, Bailey still caught sight of it.

This man must be feeling miserable inside. His grandpa and mother, whom he respects, ignore his

feelings and emotions and force him to be an austere man with no selfish desires, forbidding him to

touch what they considered “taboo”.
