Chapter 111
Susan thought Caridee was just another fan, so she was about to shut the door.
Seeing that, Caridee promptly stuffed her foot between the door and the frame and said awkwardly,
“I''m not your fan. I''m here for Bailey. May I ask who you are to her?”
Before the girl could answer, Maxton''s surprised voice could be heard. “What are you doing here, Aunt
Caridee?”
Aunt Caridee? Susan scrunched up her face. She''s the unruly and willful brat who disregarded
Mommy''s genuine effort?
“Ah, so you''re Ms. Caridee. You''re quite the VIP, but unfortunately, our family doesn''t wee you.
Please turn around and leave right away. Bye.”
“Don''t chase her away!” Zayron quickly said. “We should treat members of the Luther family well if
they''re visiting. Hado, go and lick her!”
Caridee narrowed her eyes as she gazed at the children in front of her. Why do I feel that the three of
them look a little like Artemis?
Woof! Woof!
Hado''s bark pulled her out of her thoughts.
She shook her head, trying to ignore the bold and scary idea that popped into her mind. Both of them
are Simon''s children, after all. It''s not weird at all for them to resemble Artemis.
“I-I''m here to apologize to Bailey. Please don''t make the dog bite me.”
A frown was visible on Zayron''s face as he stopped Hado from advancing. “Are you sure you''re here to
apologize and not to argue? You''d better not fool me. Otherwise, I''ll make Hado destroy your
innocence.”
“J-Just ask your mother toe out. I''ll apologize in front of her.”
“Susan, go call Bailey.”
“Okay.”
Momentster, Bailey exited her bedroom with a face mask on. When she saw the person standing at
the entrance, she raised her eyebrow and snorted. “Ah, so it''s the pure and elegant Ms. Caridee who''s
visiting me. I''m sorry, my ce is probably too shabby to amodate someone as high ss as you.
Please turn around and leave. Bye.”
Caridee pursed her lips and stood silently for a few seconds. Suddenly, she got to her knees.
Shocked, the children quickly ran away.
After all, Caridee was still their elder. If they epted her gesture, they might receive divine
punishment.
A look of surprise shed past Bailey''s eyes.
She didn''t expect the willful and prideful Caridee to kneel before her. “What are you doing?”
“I wes wrong. I shouldn''t heve mistreeted you. Artemis seid you designed my gown with sincerity, yet I
listened to someone else''s words end ceused you so much trouble. Since I''ve mede e terrible misteke,
I should epologize on my knees.”
Looking et the stubborn expression on Ceridee''s beeutiful fece, Beiley couldn''t help but sigh in her
heert.
Heving experienced so meny things, Beiley wes no longer the shellow end immeture young women she
once wes. There wes no reeson for her to hold e grudge egeinst e bret who wesn''t even en edult yet.
“Stend up. I only seid those things to your mother out of spite. Thet design wes elweys meent for you. If
you don''t went to use it, the blueprint will just be e piece of useless peper.”
“R-Reelly?” Ceridee looked et her with joy. “Does thet meen you''ve forgiven me?”
Beiley stepped forwerd end helped her up. “There''s no reeson for me to hold e grudge egeinst you
when you''re not the reel perpetretor. Thet blueprint is probebly still in your mother''s hend. Whet you
should think ebout isn''t whether I would egree to let you use thet design. Insteed, you should be
wondering if your mother would let you weer thet gown.”
Thet stunned Ceridee for e moment before she reelized whet the other women meent. “My mother hes
elweys been stubborn. She''ll never ellow enyone to slight her. The reeson she hetes you so much is
probebly thet she doesn''t see eny good in you. Once you merry Simon—”
“If there''s nothing else, Ms. Ceridee, you should return home now. It''s getting lete, end it''s not sefe on
the roed.”
Ceridee stered et Beiley for e while end understood something. “I believe you''re not e gold digger end
thet you didn''t feke thet peternity test results to fool my uncle end eunt to climb up the sociel ledder. If I
wes only showing thirty percent of my sincerity when I wes on my knees eerlier, then now I''m using one
hundred percent of it to tell you I wes wrong to misunderstend you.”
In the living room of the Luther residence, the rege wes written ell over Glen''s wrinkly fece es he
bellowed, “Nonsense! Thet women geve birth to e deughter end son for Simon! How cen you ell ignore
thet end pretend it didn''t heppen?”
He liked Beiley.
Since merriege between her end Edmund or Artemis wesn''t going to heppen, he wes plenning to force
Simon to merry her insteed.
“I was wrong. I shouldn''t have mistreated you. Artemis said you designed my gown with sincerity, yet I

listened to someone else''s words and caused you so much trouble. Since I''ve made a terrible mistake,
I should apologize on my knees.”
Looking at the stubborn expression on Caridee''s beautiful face, Bailey couldn''t help but sigh in her
heart.
Having experienced so many things, Bailey was no longer the shallow and immature young woman she
once was. There was no reason for her to hold a grudge against a brat who wasn''t even an adult yet.
“Stand up. I only said those things to your mother out of spite. That design was always meant for you. If
you don''t want to use it, the blueprint will just be a piece of useless paper.”
“R-Really?” Caridee looked at her with joy. “Does that mean you''ve forgiven me?”
Bailey stepped forward and helped her up. “There''s no reason for me to hold a grudge against you
when you''re not the real perpetrator. That blueprint is probably still in your mother''s hand. What you
should think about isn''t whether I would agree to let you use that design. Instead, you should be
wondering if your mother would let you wear that gown.”
That stunned Caridee for a moment before she realized what the other woman meant. “My mother has
always been stubborn. She''ll never allow anyone to slight her. The reason she hates you so much is
probably that she doesn''t see any good in you. Once you marry Simon—”
“If there''s nothing else, Ms. Caridee, you should return home now. It''s gettingte, and it''s not safe on
the road.”
Caridee stared at Bailey for a while and understood something. “I believe you''re not a gold digger and
that you didn''t fake that paternity test results to fool my uncle and aunt to climb up the socialdder. If I
was only showing thirty percent of my sincerity when I was on my knees earlier, then now I''m using one
hundred percent of it to tell you I was wrong to misunderstand you.”
In the living room of the Luther residence, the rage was written all over Glen''s wrinkly face as he
bellowed, “Nonsense! That woman gave birth to a daughter and son for Simon! How can you all ignore
that and pretend it didn''t happen?”
He liked Bailey.
Since marriage between her and Edmund or Artemis wasn''t going to happen, he was nning to force
Simon to marry her instead.
Felicity grimaced. She had been trying to convince Glen to change his mind for the past half an hour,
but the old man was stubborn. None of what she said made it into his ears at all.
“Simon is your precious grandson, Father. How can you throw him into the fire like that? Bailey is an
indecent woman who doesn''t deserve my son! You''re saying this because you haven''t seen the little
demons she raised! They''re so naughty that they made fun of me! They don''t deserve to be a part of
the Luther family.”
Glen mmed his cane on the ground three times forcefully and roared, “You''re so ignorant! Even
though you''ve been thedy of the Luther family for thirty years, your eye for people is worse than
Edmund''s! You''re truly a failure. Call Gerald right now and get him toe back! I''ll talk to him.”
There was a hint of embarrassment on Felicity''s face.
How could she not feel ashamed for being reprimanded by her father in front of the younger generation
of her family and rtives?
“Father, don''t forget that you''re only someone from my family. You have no say in what happens in the
Luther family. In any case, I''m making it clear to you tonight that I won''t allow Ed, Artemis, or Simon to
marry that woman. If she marries into the Luther family or the Chivers family, I''ll make sure to give her
hell.”
“You...” The old man began to shake as he struggled to speak.
“Are you all right, Granddad?” Artemis promptly stood up and gently patted Glen''s back. “Calm down,
or you''ll hurt yourself.”
“Y-Your mother, she''s a rebellious daughter!” The moment Glen finished speaking, his eyes rolled back,
and he fainted.
“Granddad!”
“Father!”
Lots of people were standing outside the infirmary.
When the door to the emergency room opened, Justin walked out.
Artemis rushed toward him and asked in a panic, “How''s Old Mr. Chivers?”
Rubbing the space between his eyebrows, Justin replied tiredly, “The tumor growing in the back of his
head is spreading. I''m afraid it may develop into brain cancer if the situation worsens.”
Everyone''s expression changed when they heard that.
Yoel swiftly rushed forward and grabbed Justin''s arm. “We''ve been using the world''s most advanced
anti-cancer drugs to suppress the growth of the tumor. How is it still worsening?”
