Chapter 234
Over in the CEO's office, after greeting Zoey, Artemis went over to his table and took out several keys
from the drawer.
“You always stay at the mansion by the beach every time you visit Hallsbay. I figured you might have a
special sentiment for that place, so I transferred the place to your name. Now you don't have to come
over whenever you come to Hallsbay. You can go over there directly,” Artemis said, passing Zoey the
key.
The smile on Zoey's face froze, for the true reason she fancied that mansion was because of Artemis.
Since Artemis had gifted her that property, it meant that she could no longer spend time with him under
the same roof.
To Zoey, there was no point in keeping that mansion if that was the case.
“I-Isn't this your residence? Where will you stay now that you gave it to me?”
Artemis quirked his brows.
I'd better not forget that woman's warning on the balcony the other day. I'm to marry soon, so I should
not get too close to any woman—including Zoey—even if she saved my life.
“I'm about to have my own family soon, so I'll stay with my wife. The mansion by the beach is not my
ideal home for a family, so I'm thinking about making another home for her.”
The last shred of smile on Zoey's face faded away.
His wife? Does he mean Rhonda? He's never shown any interest in her over the past seven years.
What made him change so drastically?
“Right! You're about to get married soon! I haven't even congratulated you.”
Artemis smiled faintly. Suddenly, he caught sight of Bailey walking out of the office on the opposite side
through the window. He looked down at Zoey, saying, “I have to get going. I'll ask Dwayne to send you
to the mansion later. We'll have a meal some other time.”
With that said, he took his phone and ran outside.

nowhere in sight anymore.
The room fell silent, and Zoey clenched the keys in her hand.
Rhonda Jefferson! It's been seven years! Why are you still alive?
Over at the company's elevator, Bailey pressed the “close” button and watched the doors shut before
her absent-mindedly.
She could still hear Artemis and Zoey's laughter from the CEO's office ringing in her ears, and the
sound vexed her beyond measure.
Ding!
Suddenly, the alarm rang, and Bailey looked up only to see someone inserting their hand into the
elevator.
Without saying a word, Bailey grabbed the person's wrist and peeled off the hand from the door.
Crack!
The rattling sound of bones being crushed by the elevator door rang crisp and loud, and a sharp gasp
followed.
“You stone-hearted woman,” Artemis noted from the outside as he squeezed his way through the gap.
Once he got in, he pushed Bailey against the wall and questioned in a hoarse voice, “Who pissed you
off? I'll teach him a lesson.”
Bailey looked away. “There's no need for that. I've already done that,” she said snarkily.
It took Artemis a while to understand what she meant.
“Are you jealous, dear?”
Bailey's body froze, and she glared at him. “Why are you here? You've got a beautiful lady who came
all the way from overseas right in your office. Why don't you go and spend time with her? Get away
from me.”
Artemis chuckled lowly.
She must be jealous. This is a good sign.
“She came to take the mansion's keys.”
Bailey became even more upset when she heard that. “Scram!”
“I already transferred her the ownership of the mansion, so it belongs to her from now on and has
nothing to do with me anymore. I've already asked Ken to pick up my things. I don't have a place to
stay now, my dear. Are you willing to take me in?”
What the actual f*ck? He's so shameless!
Bailey was initially angry about what she saw earlier, but after Artemis joked around with her, she
managed to let off some steam.
“You're generous, aren't you, Mr. Luther? The mansion costs at least hundreds of millions. You might
become broke after gifting all your property to your female friends at this rate.”
Artemis grinned and lowered his head to Bailey's ear. “Come on, Zoey saved me before. She might
have a mansion, but you're the ultimate winner here. You wouldn't have a husband if she didn't save
me.”
He's so brazen!
“Ouch! My hand still hurts, Bay. You can get angry later, but could you help me pop my bone back
first?”
Bailey glanced at him coldly.
The truth was that she felt a lot better after hearing Artemis out.
She figured she should not probe into the matter as to why she felt vexed in the first place.
Bailey held his wrist and twisted it forcefully. His dislocated joint was adjusted to its original position
with a crack.
“I don't have an extra room at Shelbert Condominium, so you should just go back to the Luther
residence.”
What? Does that mean I got hurt for nothing?
Over in Jadeborough, Veronique finally decided to put aside her feelings and the past and talk to
Scarlett after much struggle.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
After all, Zephyr's life was at stake here, yet when she pulled some strings to get a date with Scarlett,
she was told that Justin and Scarlett had already left the capital for Hallsbay.
Veronique had no choice but to buy a return ticket to Hallsbay.
In a way, it's good that they're not in Jadeborough. It won't be easy getting this done if I'm in the
country's political center, Jadeborough.
Meanwhile, a few black cars pulled up in the square in the office area of Dyke Pharmaceutical.
A middle-aged man in a suit and shiny shoes walked to the Rolls-Royce SUV with a longer wheelbase
right in the middle of the convoy. “Thank you for coming for the inspection, Mr. Zeke. I'm Kayden
Jennings. I'm in charge of Dyke Pharmaceutical.”
The door opened, and a strapping and sophisticated man emerged from the car.
He looked aristocratic in his white suit, which made him look especially pleasing to the eyes.
It was none other than the new head of the Shurmer family—Zeke Shurmer.
“Mr. Jennings.” Zeke parted his thin lips and greeted with a faint smile. “I'm here to look at the
production process of the new drug. The public is particularly keen about our new product, so ensure
nothing goes wrong.”
A fleeting hint of nervousness shone in Kayden's eyes. “Y-Yes, Mr. Zeke.”
Over on the staircase, Juliana looked impressed when she beheld the elegant man.
He's so handsome! Did my prince charming just land from the sky?
“Ahem!” A soft cough came from beside her. “His charm must've blinded you. I must have been foolish
to have thought someone like you could get anything out of him. You're awe-struck before you even
deal with him face to face.”
Juliana jumped and whipped her head back. “M-Master! Why are you here?”
Bailey smacked her head and sneered, “Well, you might have gladly offered your soul to him if I had
not come.”
With that said, Bailey went down the stairs and walked toward Zeke. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Zeke.”
Zeke, who was just about to walk over, stopped where he was the moment he saw Bailey. He looked
confused.
