Chapter 235

They look so alike! This woman definitely looks the same as Mom.

Although Zeke had often seen news reports about Bailey and all her achievements, he was astonished

when he saw Bailey in person, for they looked different.

Watching her from the screen did not deliver the same effect, but when Zeke had the chance to

observe her up close, he realized Bailey did look similar to Waverly.

Bailey smiled at the surprised man.

Zeke was usually composed and well-mannered as a man whose fame spread worldwide.

His blunder was not because he felt attracted to a charming woman as a man but because she

reminded him of his mother.

Zeke's reaction made Bailey think of Gerald's response when he first met Bailey.

That time, the old man seemed to have mistaken Bailey for his first love, Waverly, who happened to be

Zeke's mother.

Now, this is interesting.

“Did you take me for your mom too, Mr. Zeke?”

Everyone was nonplussed by Bailey's abrupt question.

Juliana coughed dryly and pulled Bailey on the sleeve, speaking softly, “Master, how could you be so

rude? You're younger than Mr. Zeke. How could you say you look like his mother?”

Um, well, you're right.

Bailey rubbed her nose awkwardly and looked away.

I only said that because Gerald thought I was Waverly.

After a moment of shock, Zeke regained his composure and flashed Bailey a polite smile. “You must be

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

Ms. Jefferson. Your fame precedes you. I can't believe I'm seeing you today. The honor is mine.”

Bailey's lips curved stiffly into a friendly smile. “The anti-cancer drug I made has just started production,

and Dyke Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary under your company, is part of the production chain. I would

appreciate it if you could ensure the quality is top-notch. After all, lives are at stake here.”

Zeke nodded with a smile. “You have nothing to worry about, Ms. Anonymous. Shurmer Group is a

century-old corporation that is widely acclaimed, so we will take quality control seriously. We won't do

anything to ruin our reputation.”

He's right. The Shurmer family spent generations building their business empire until they achieved the

success they enjoy today. There's nothing in it for Zeke to work with Cadence to change the

composition of the drug. Cadence is doing this to get me into prison so he can ruin my life, but Zeke

has no motivation to do so. Zeke and I have not met before, so there are no old grievances between us

to begin with.

“Did you come to Hallsbay just to check on the new drug's manufacturing process, Mr. Zeke?” Bailey

asked.

Zeke smiled gently at her. “Well, I can't slack off when you're so dedicated to your craft. You're here to

keep an eye on the manufacturing even after researching the drug. This is a product that will benefit

the whole of humanity, so I'd like to contribute to it too. This is also good publicity for me. I would like to

leave a good impression on the public.”

Good publicity? He's weird. People say the eyes are windows to the soul. We can know a person's

thoughts from their eyes.

As a hypnotist herself, Bailey could search a person's true thoughts just by looking into their eyes.

This man's gaze is deep and vast like the boundless universe, but he did not try to evade my eyes

when he came up to me, nor did he shy away. This means he's not lying. He did not panic because he

did nothing wrong to begin with. Don't tell me the person in charge of the Shurmer family has no idea

that the new drug has already been swapped. Of course, there's also a possibility that he bypassed my

hypnosis and outsmarted me.

“Indeed, you're a visionary businessman. People respect and admire you despite your young age. I'm

glad you take social responsibility seriously. I heard that you're here for an inspection. Is it possible for

me to join you to take a look at the production facility?”

“Of course!” Zeke replied with a smile. “We're honored to have you participating in this process

yourself. Over here, please.”

Bailey smiled back at him. Just as she was about to walk over, Bailey felt Juliana tugging her sleeve

from behind, and Bailey giggled. “By the way, Mr. Zeke, this is my mentee, Juliana Stone,” Bailey

introduced.

Zeke cast his glance at Juliana and fell into silence. “I should call you 'sister-in-law.’” Zeke noted with a

smile.

What?

Bailey and Juliana exchanged confused glances.

Before either of them spoke, Zeke added, “If I'm not wrong, Ms. Stone's the second daughter of the

Hoffman family, the royal family of Epea. Your real name is Juliana Hoffman. You changed your name

after you became Snowflake's mentee. You have a sister, Wendy Hoffman. She became my cousin's

wife when she married into the Gezmond family. Since you're Lionel's sister-in-law, that makes you my

sister-in-law as well.”

Okay. So, a distant relative?

Bailey narrowed her eyes at Juliana, saying, “So, your sister married Lionel.”

Prior to that, Bailey had wondered how Lionel ended up becoming so successful overseas, and it

turned out that he had garnered the support of the Hoffman family.

Juliana looked away. “Yes. Their marriage is kept a secret from the public. Besides, you didn't ask me,

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Master. I would've told you if you asked.”

Bailey held her head in exasperation.

What kind of relationship is this? It's so complicated!

The lot proceeded into the company, and after some time, Bailey asked Zeke in a low tone, “Mr. Zeke,

do I really look like your mom?”

Zeke was taken aback, but he quickly resumed a smile. “Well, sometimes we find strangers who look

alike too, so I guess it's nothing surprising.”

After the trip that day, Bailey returned to Luther Group from Dyke Pharmaceutical.

Artemis poured her a glass of warm water and sat down opposite her. Instead of asking her about the

inspection, he simply smiled and gazed at her.

Bailey took a few sips of water before speaking with a frown. “I don't think Zeke's involved in this whole

thing. First, he doesn't have a reason to do so. Second, a businessman like him values profit most of

all. He might benefit from working with Cadence, but that benefit is nothing compared to the whole

consortium's profit. He doesn't need to put the whole Shurmer Group's future on the line.”

Artemis crossed his legs and rubbed his chin with his fingers as he thought. “Well, we can't jump to

conclusions before we have conclusive evidence proving he's not part of this.”

“But I used hypnosis on him, and he didn't show any sign of nervousness. It didn't look like he was

lying.”

Artemis wanted to reply, but his phone on the coffee table rang just as he was about to speak.

Someone was calling from the Luther residence.

“Let me get this.”

After picking up, Artemis listened for a few seconds, and his face darkened. The atmosphere suddenly

chilled to a freezing point.

“What did you say?”
