Chapter 530
“Don't worry, Ms. Shurmer. According to a reliable source, the baby in Bailey's belly is gone.”
A look of glee spread over Zoey's face. She tightened her grip on the phone and raised her voice,
asking, “Really? Is that imbecile gone from her belly?”
“Indeed. The spy you instructed me to plant in the Shurmer family's medical base came in handy.”
Zoey took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement before responding in her calmest tone, “All
right. I understand now. Continue keeping an eye on the situation there. Report to me if anything
peculiar happens.”
“Of course.”
As soon as the call ended, Zoey turned to Sofie and said excitedly, “Mom, the imbecile in Bailey's belly
is gone. It's really gone. Though that useless pair from the Jefferson family miscalculated things,
they're not completely useless, after all. At least they helped us remove that b*stard from Bailey's
belly.”
Sofie smirked. “That's good enough. I never expected the duo to eliminate Bailey on their first try,
anyway. That woman's a capable one. She won't die so easily.”
“What are we going to do next, then?”
Sofie raised her brow as a dark, vicious glint flashed across her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Our next step, eh? Well, our next step is to see if Yvette can eradicate Bailey once and for all. If not, I'll
have to take matters into my own hands.”
With her lips pursed, Zoey fell silent for a moment before uttering through gritted teeth, “Mom, so what
if we eliminate everyone? It's all useless if Artemis still refuses to marry me. Everything we've done will
be all in vain.”
“Why the rush? Once Bailey is dead, the Luther family will definitely find a way to wipe Artemis'
memories to protect him. Do you think they'll just watch their patriarch follow a woman to the
underworld without doing anything?”
Zoey gleamed. “If the Luther family finds a way to wipe his memories of Bailey, I can take advantage of
the situation to make him mine. Nice one, Mom. You're always so detailed. I'm so blessed to get your
help.”
“See? You're just too hasty. Remember this. Many things need time. There's no use rushing it. Since
I've come back to help you, I'll definitely make you the matriarch of the Luther family.”
“Okay. I'll do everything you say in the future.”
Meanwhile, Bailey, who had been unconscious for two hours at the medical base, was finally regaining
consciousness.
As she opened her eyes, she had difficulty focusing them.
Only after a long time did her memories slowly return.
When she felt the excruciating pain in her belly, the light in her eyes faded a little.
I don't deserve to be a mother. I sacrificed my child to protect my innocence.
“Bay, you're awake.”
A hoarse male voice rang out beside her ear, jolting her back to her senses.
As she turned around, her gaze fell on the man who was half kneeling on the ground beside her bed.
As their gazes met, she could sense the fury in his eyes.
“I-I'm sorry, Artemis. I failed to protect our child.” Her voice could not be any hoarser.
Artemis' eyes darkened with sorrow as he heard that.
He struggled to his feet and pulled her into a hug. “If you must put it that way, then I must pay for my
crimes with my life. What's the point of being alive if I can't even protect my wife?”
Bailey pursed her lips, her eyes glistening with tears.
“It's not your fault. It's mine. I chose to give up on our child to protect my image and innocence.”
Artemis' expression darkened as he asked, “If you chose to protect the child and let Clarence... Will
you be able to stay alive with that steel spine of yours? And even if you're alive, will you still be with
me?”
Bailey said nothing, as she did not know how to answer him. She preferred not to make predictions
when it came to things that never happened.
Sighing softly, Artemis comforted, “You made the right decision, Bay. This is the only way that'll bring
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe damage to the minimum.”
Bailey could not help but smile bitterly. “I brought the damage to the minimum? I lost our baby, and
that's the biggest blow to me.”
At that, her gaze turned cold, and she hissed, “What about Clarence and Rhonda? What happened to
them? Did they get what they deserve?”
Reaching out to hold her shoulder, Artemis uttered slowly, “Yes. Things that shouldn't have happened
ended up happening. The public opinion drove Rhonda mad, while Clarence coughed up blood and
was sent to the ICU.”
Immediately, the hatred in Bailey's eyes slowly dissipated, and she felt relief from the tension she was
feeling. She then collapsed into Artemis' embrace.
“Perhaps this child was never meant to live with us. Since I failed to protect her, the least I could do
was avenge her before she was gone. And now, Rhonda's lost her mind, and Clarence is dying soon.
This will be my revenge for her.”
“I've already alerted the public relations department of Luther Group. They'll blast the news out to the
world. I want everyone on earth to be aware of the Jeffersons' scandal. Even if they're alive, I'm going
to make their life a living hell.”
“Okay. Artemis, I'm a little tired. I'd like to sleep a little longer.”
“Go on. I'll stay here with you.”
Meanwhile, at the branch of the Saviors in Yannopolis, Gregan, Veikko leaned against the emergency
room door with worry written all over his face. It was a rare sight for someone who looked indifferent all
the time.
