Chapter 478
Zoey could not help sneering inwardly.
I don't know if this woman would harm me, but I'm sure she must have ulterior motives. A scheming
woman like her would not have put in so much effort if there aren't any benefits for her to gain in return.
After all, if she could abandon me, her daughter, as she pleased, I don't think she values familial ties.
“No. That's not what I meant. I know you're doing this for me, and you only instigated that woman to
deal with Bailey because you wanted to make things easier for me.”
Hearing that, Sofie curled her lips elegantly. The look in her eyes was almost unfathomable. No one
could tell what she was planning inside her mind.
“That's right. You should know I am your mother, your biological mother, and I will never harm you,
even if I have to hurt everyone else. Come on. Sit next to me.”
Zoey shivered uncontrollably and suppressed her anxiety as she took a seat next to Sofie.
“Zozo, you heard what I told her just now, didn't you? Artemis isn't the only one in charge of the Luther
Group. He also has someone extremely powerful backing him up. Words can't even describe the power
he has in this world. If you marry him, you will become the most honorable woman in the world. No one
will be able to compare to you.”
“If that's the case, Mom, I will let you decide what to do with my life. With you protecting me and
opening new pathways for me, I think I will soon become the most envied person in this world.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Of course. You'll only have to listen to me, and I'll do my best to help you get everything. Remember, I
only love obedient kids. Those who don't listen to me often end up badly.”
“I understand. I will stay obedient to you and never think of going against you.”
At that point, Zoey regretted relying on the vicious and brutal Sofie. Of course, Sofie could indeed be of
great help to Zoey if the latter could use the older woman's cruel traits to her advantage. Otherwise,
those traits would become a sharp blade stabbing Zoey so hard that she was sent to her doom.
The incident of Bailey questioning the authenticity of the emerald seal Lina chose at the appraisal had
stirred quite an uproar among the public.
Aside from feeling excited that they found a national treasure, the public also harshly condemned
Bailey's actions.
To the public, Lina was Vespera, the expert antique appraiser recognized internationally. They believed
she could never make a mistake when appraising an ancient relic.
As for Bailey, she appeared clueless in terms of antique appraisal because she had even failed to
recognize the love token that her master's wife had gifted to her master.
With such disparity in their professional skills, the public would not hesitate to choose Lina if they had
to pick a side.
A comment wrote: Bailey is ignorant and arrogant, thinking she owns the world just because she has
multiple big-shot identities. She's trying to claim a spot in every industry. How annoying.
Another seconded: That's right. We can still try to believe her words if she's questioning an ordinary
appraiser. But now? She's questioning Master Vespera, an expert in the appraising field. How could
she claim Master Vespera made a mistake in her appraisal? Isn't she trying to challenge the entire
industry by doubting Master Vespera? After all, Master Vespera was nominated by everyone to
represent every antique appraiser in the industry.
Another comment read: Bailey should give us a reasonable explanation within the next three days.
Otherwise, we won't let her get away with this. She can doubt whoever she wants but not Master
Vespera. I will always hold her against this.
Someone else agreed: Exactly. She can stop dreaming about using the Luther family's influence to
gloss over this issue. We will not let her get away so easily.
Bailey dismissed those hateful comments on the internet with a laugh.
She had already grown immune to the netizens hating on her, and those comments were barely
enough to hurt her feelings.
Despite being a legendary doctor, the Legendary Racer, a lead designer, and a professional hacker, the
public still hated her for the single fact that she won Artemis' heart.
Hence, Bailey knew she would only face more dumb and pathetic personal attacks like this from the
public in many years to come.
The public would not stop hating her unless she gave up on Artemis and returned him to his admirers,
giving those ladies another chance to marry him and become a part of the wealthy family.
“What are you thinking about?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I'm thinking of ways to kick you out there so that you can relieve your admirers' anger toward me.”
“What did you say?”
Upon hearing that, Bailey could feel the air around her drop several degrees lower. Then, she realized
she had mindlessly blurted nonsensical words, so she immediately tried to appease him by saying, “I
was babbling nonsense. Don't take that to heart. It's nothing serious.”
Artemis snorted and asked nonchalantly, “What do you plan to do next? To look all around the world for
that red emerald? It's no different from finding a needle in a haystack. You won't find it even if you were
given three years, let alone three days.”
Bailey blinked with a cunning glint in her eyes. “Who told you I'm planning to look all around the world?
Will you do something so stupid?”
Artemis was stumped by her words.
Ignoring him, Bailey continued, “Raiden said he had controlled those people who were in contact with
the red emerald. Now that I told him the one in the museum is fake, I'm sure he will find a way to make
those people talk and get a lead on the actual one.”
Artemis scoffed at that.
Is she praising Raiden? It seems to me she doesn't think it's a big deal to praise him. What about me?
I'm still here!
“It sounds like Raiden is perfect in your eyes. You think he can do everything, don't you?”
Bailey rolled her eyes, stood up, and was about to leave the bedroom.
Now, I wonder who is the pregnant one who requires consolation all the time?
As soon as she stood up, she felt a weight gripping her wrist. Then, the world spun around her in the
next second as she was pinned onto the bed.
