Chapter 232

Scarlett. I can't believe it's her. Her engagement with Justin has brought great pain to Veronique.

Seven years back, Scarlett, the heiress of the Fletcher family, became terminally ill. All her medical

details, including her blood type and genetic information, were copied to many big research institutions

because the family was looking for the best doctor to treat her.

In the end, Justin was the one who cured her.

After that, the woman fell in love with him, and they got engaged. To many, it was a prospective union

between a political family and a prestigious family with exceptional medical talent. Still, to Veronique, it

was a day of loneliness and hopelessness when she left the country with the baby she was carrying.

No one would believe that after so many years, fate would bring them together again. At the end of the

day, none of them managed to escape the wheel of fate and fortune.

Bailey sat silently on the couch for a solid ten minutes until she snapped back to her senses when her

phone rang.

“Bay, did you get it?”

Bailey forced a rigid smile. “Yeah. I just got it. I was about to send it to you,” she replied dryly.

She logged into her account and emailed Scarlett's details to Veronique.

Silence set in until the ambiance turned suffocating, and no one spoke for a long time.

Bailey was beginning to feel numb when Veronique finally uttered, “So, it's her. I guess there's no

running away. I have to face her in the end. Thanks, Bay. I'll deal with the rest on my own. There's no

helping me beyond this.”

Bailey paused for a bit and replied, “I deliberately left some traces in the database so that they know

the data was leaked. Even if the Fletcher family knows Scarlett's information was hacked, they'll not

blame the research center, so you can go ahead and do whatever you want with peace of mind.”

Veronique was brought to tears. “I know you could well wipe off any traces,” she choked out, “but you

chose to do so because of me, right, Bay? I can't thank you enough for what you did for me...”

“Cut it out, Vero. Please don't make me cringe. I got to go. I'll hang up first, okay? Let me know if you

need anything else. You helped me a lot when we were studying medicine. It's only reasonable that I

return the favor. Of course, that's unless you don't take me as a friend.”

After ending the call, Bailey logged out immediately and deleted all the history on her laptop.

Just as she walked out, Bailey saw Artemis leaning against the door, and she jumped.

“What are you doing here?” she asked with a frown. “I mean, since when were you here?”

Don't tell me he's still hunting Spook down and got my location when I signed in just now. I hope that's

not the case because I have nothing to pay him with now. Three billion is a lot of money! It's not even

enough if I sell myself off.

Artemis straightened his back and pushed Bailey back into the study.

Bang! The door shut with a loud noise behind them.

Bailey glanced at him nervously.

He must have found out. Maybe he wasn't even drunk that day. He might have learned the truth when I

told him that I was the one who took the money.

“H-Hey! Listen to me. I was the one who took the money, but I gave everything to your nephew, so you

should look for Zayron instead. Don't blame it on me.”

A glint of glee shone in Artemis' eyes.

I don't mind spending three billion to raise my own son.

“He's still a minor, so it makes sense that I deal with his guardian, right?” he argued.

While speaking, he pulled her close with his arm and tugged Bailey into his embrace.

With another hand, he tilted her sharp chin upward and teased, “You've got some nerve, don't you? I

didn't expect you to have the guts to steal my money. Now that I got my hands on you, there's no way

you can escape.”

A shudder went down Bailey's spine, and she flashed him a smile. “Well, you're rich. Three billion is

nothing to you. Just treat it as a donation for your brother. I know three billion is more than enough to

raise two kids for seven years, but I promise I won't ask for any more child maintenance from the

Luther family.”

Artemis let go of her chin and patted her delicate cheek twice frivolously.

“If I remember correctly, you've already asked Simon for money once, so your promise is not

convincing enough. I'm dead set on getting my money back,” he joshed with a grin.

Bailey felt a tinge of itch on her scalp.

He went all over the world trying to get me for half a year but failed. I can't believe he found me just

because of a minor slip on my end. I really don't know what else to say.

“I have no money. My account is linked to a few international charity organizations, so the money goes

to them by default whenever there's a balance in my account. I need some time to think of a way to get

the money.”

Artemis' heart softened when he heard this, for he knew she was telling the truth.

He had investigated her account before.

Bailey was almost as wealthy as him, but because she had been donating everything she owned over

the past years, she ended up not having much.

She's so selfless. How can I not love her?

When Bailey saw that Artemis was quiet, she looked at him intently and, after some thought,

suggested, “Why don't I pay you back with my body?”

Here, she broke out into a laugh. “But, of course, I've slept with someone else before, so you might

think a one-night stand is not worth three billion. After all—”

Bailey's eyes widened in shock.

W-What is he doing? Is he angry? I didn't even say anything!

Artemis did not deepen his kiss. After a brief moment, he pulled away and cupped Bailey's face with his

hands.

“Don't say anything like that. You're priceless in my eyes. I'm willing to give you everything I own just to

have you—let alone three billion.”

Bailey blinked at him and held out her right hand. “How about you give me everything you have now? I

need money.”

Bailey felt a gush of regret right after she said that.

Just what was I thinking? I must've been stunned because of him. I can't believe I was dazed because

of a kiss.

A deep chuckle sounded from above her head. Before Bailey looked up, Artemis had already dug his

hand into his slacks' pocket, pulled out a black card, and put it in her hand.

Bailey stared at the card, dumbstruck.

For real? This is Spaunia's bank's VIP card. This means there are at least a hundred billion in it! I

guess it's right when they say a man's the coolest when he spends on you.

“I-I was just kidding,” Bailey said, stuffing back the card in Artemis' hand.

He glanced at her with his brows arched as he bent over and whispered, “Why are you giving it back?

Are you trying to draw a line between us? If that's the case, I guess I'll have you as collateral for the

three billion you took.”

With that, he kissed her ear, making her shudder.
