Chapter 195
Glen walked from the entrance to the front with Edmund's help.
Gerald, Yoel, and their wives followed behind with Artemis and Simon at the back.
“Old Mr. Chivers looks much better. I'm sure he'll live a long life.”
“You're right. Anonymous is indeed a marvelous physician. She effortlessly cured the man of the
disease that had plagued him for years.”
“No matter how you put it, we're all family. Ms. Bailey had already given birth to a son and a daughter
for Mr. Simon, so there's no doubt she'll marry into the Luther family. Congratulations on your beautiful
grandchildren, Old Mr. Chivers.”
Simon could not help but roll his eyes when he heard all the bootlicking. What did they mean there was
no doubt she would marry into my family? Have I agreed to marry her already?
Glen then lifted his left hand to interrupt the pleasantries.
“Thank you, everyone, for your concern and kind wishes. I appreciate that you took the time to attend
my granddaughter's coming-of-age ceremony, so I extend the warmest welcome to you on behalf of the
Luthers and my family. You're right. That's not the only reason we're all here today because I have a
wedding to announce.”
The crowd burst into cheers as soon as they heard that.
“Old Mr. Chivers, are you going to announce the marriage of Mr. Simon and Ms. Bailey now?”
“That's not right. The eldest son must marry before the younger one. Old Mr. Chivers' probably
announcing the marriage of Artemis and Rhonda.”
“If Old Mr. Chivers wills it, maybe there'll be a wedding for both the Jefferson sisters and the Luther
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbrothers. Imagine what a party that'll be!”
“The Jefferson sisters have both given birth to sons for the Luthers, so their weddings should be
equally important.”
Instead of Artemis or Simon, Edmund was the one who broke into a smirk while the crowd continued
with their discussion.
Bailey, too, had the same expression on her face.
Edmund was convinced that Glen had decided to have him marry Bailey and to announce their
marriage despite the public's opinions.
With his head lowered, Artemis repeatedly clenched and loosened his fists as if to show how tense he
was.
Even though the man warned and forbade Bailey from marrying Edmund, she was not someone who
would just listen to him mindlessly.
Artemis dared not imagine what would happen if the woman were to accept Edmund's proposal in front
of so many people that day.
Hence, the man decided not to let that happen.
Bailey was also getting anxious as she considered fleeing the scene to avoid the repercussion of
Glen's bold move. When Edmund gets down on one knee, should I accept or reject him? There's only
one way to escape this predicament, and that's to disappear before the hammer falls.
Just when everyone was still deep in their own thoughts, they suddenly heard the host's resounding
voice from the stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come! Please return to your seats because our party is about to
start. The star of the evening is more than ready to meet everyone, so shall we put our hands together
to welcome her?”
In an instant, deafening cheers filled the place as the Luthers and the Chiverses made their way to the
viewing platform.
After the host's opening remarks, a beautiful piece of music began to play, and the lights turned the
venue like a fairy land.
From the entrance, Caridee walked in wearing an elegant but fashionably simple dress.
The crowd burst into cheers once again as soon as they saw the woman.
The piece of clothing was so impressive that anyone who wore it would instantly become the center of
attention.
“The draft completely failed to bring out the perfection of the dress. The finished product is nothing
short of amazing!”
“This is truly the work of Snowflake. This dress has completely surpassed the one she designed three
years ago. The way she managed to combine traditional and modern elements is just perfect!”
“This is more than just a coming-of-age ceremony; it's also a fashion show. We're lucky to be able to
lay eyes on such a gem of the fashion industry.”
“Snowflake definitely lives up to her title as The Ultimate Designer.”
Bailey intentionally stood in the dark, trying to hide herself.
She smiled slightly when she heard the countless praises. That honor belongs to Snowflake, not me.
The only thing Bailey wanted was to be a normal woman bringing up her two children.
Seeing the sweet smile on Caridee's face, Bailey knew it was time for her to leave.
Fame and fortune are like fireworks. They burn bright for a while but quickly disappear. With that
thought in mind, Bailey unconsciously began to back away. However, she only took two steps before
she bumped into someone.
The woman was greeted with a familiar minty fragrance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBailey then felt a hand grab her tightly by the waist, and before she could react, a man from behind
pulled her into a corner.
The lighting in the venue was dim, and everyone was focusing on Caridee on the red carpet, so nobody
paid any attention to the corner.
“Artemis, what—”
Bailey widened her eyes as she stared at the man's handsome face in disbelief. Da*n this b*stard! Why
is he suddenly kissing me? I didn't even do anything!
Artemis had Bailey tightly secured within his arms, trapping her in the corner.
The man's passionate kiss made Bailey feel as if she had been hit by a tidal wave or a violent storm.
Artemis could not get enough of the woman because to him, she was as addictive as drugs and as
mysterious as red spider lilies in the night. She's a vixen. No, it's more accurate to call her an
enchantress because I'm completely enchanted by her.
One look was enough to make Artemis go crazy about the woman.
It did not matter if he were a tycoon with assets worth trillions or a powermonger who controlled the life
and death of many others, he was now reduced to a humble man in love in front of Bailey.
They would willingly sacrifice the entire world just for her.
Unable to figure out what was going through Artemis' mind at that moment, Bailey could feel her brain
buzzing with puzzlement. Is this man oblivious to where we are right now? Why does he have to be a
jerk? Should I struggle and try to resist him? No, I can't afford to cause a scene, and I certainly don't
want to steal Caridee's spotlight.
Bailey let Artemis kiss her for a minute before lifting her foot to stomp the man's foot violently.
The woman was so angry that it took her a minute to figure out how to resist Artemis. I guess I turn
stupid when this jerk gets near me.
When she heard the man inhale sharply in response, Bailey sneered, “How do you like that, Mr.
Luther?”
