Chapter 480
Gazing at Bailey''s pale face through the mirror, he said guiltily, “I''m sorry. It''s all my fault.”
Bailey rolled her eyes upon hearing that. After rinsing her mouth, she turned around and embraced
him. “What are you talking about? It''s not like I''m disgusted by you. It''s normal to have nausea and
vomiting during pregnancy, so...”
Artemis reciprocated the hug as he replied, “I know. I promise I won''t mess around anymore. Actually, I
could just use my hands.”
Amused, Bailey couldn''t help chuckling. “Let''s go to the Saunders residence.”
“Okay.”
Artemis lifted Bailey into his arms and carried her out of the door.
After an hour, they arrived at the Saunders residence.
Bailey frowned instinctively when she saw all the reporters outside of the Saunders residence.
“What''s happening? Why are there so many reporters here?”
Artemis pondered for a moment before answering in a deep voice, “They must have received the news
that Victoria is back, so they''re trying to surround her to get more information about the love triangle
between Lionel, Wendy, and her.”
“They are just like disgusting flies and mosquitoes that are everywhere. They would never give up on
any possible chance to intrude in people''s personal lives. If we approach just like that, won''t they
encircle us, too?”
Artemis frowned in annoyance.
He did not bring his bodyguard with him at that moment. Though he could afford thepensation if he
just stepped on the elerator and drove in straight away, knocking those reporters down in the
process, they were precious lives after all. Even if he was the almighty Artemis, he couldn''t take human
lives lightly.
“Ask Victoria toe out and distract them so we could go in.”
Bailey shook her head. “No way. Vicky is pregnant. It''s too dangerous for her to get too close to these
maniacs.”
Artemis narrowed his eyes, hesitating to call Ken and ask him to send someone over.
However, before he could decide, Bailey opened the car door and walked straight out of the car.
“D*mn it,” he cursed softly before unbuckling his seatbelt and following Bailey out of the car.
“Guys, look. Bailey is here.”
“It''s Bailey! It''s Bailey! Let''s go and stop her.”
The reporters swarmed toward Artemis and Bailey and surrounded them along with their car in no time.
“Bailey, is that red emerald really a fake?”
“Why are you so sure that the red emerald is a fake? Are you trying to doubt Master Vespera''s
appraising skills?”
“What does the real red emerald look like? Could you have possibly heard of some rumors to know
what the real emerald seal looks like?”
Bailey smirked as she replied casually, “I was just making things up yesterday. I don''t even know if the
red emerald is real or fake. Anyway, it''s also better to reinvestigate the matter. Maybe the oue of
the investigation would show that the emerald is a fake. Then, they might be able to find the real deal
upon the second inspection.”
Whoa... This woman is unbelievable.
Just as the reporters were about to continue asking Bailey difficult questions, she said nonchntly,
“This information should be sufficient to make the headlines. I will not answer any more questions.
Those who are smart should immediately return and publish the information I provided just now.
Otherwise, yourpetitors are going to beat you to it.”
That''s true! She''s right!
When that realization dawned upon them, half of the reporters left the scene one after another and
rushed back to the press office to start working on the articles.
The remaining half of the reporters asked again, “So, does that mean you''ve admitted that you are
defaming Master Vespera?”
“Bailey, are you annoyed because Master Vespera is a big shot?”
“That''s right. You are jealous because someone stole your spotlight. That is why you are using such
dirty tricks to give her trouble.”
“Bailey, do you think you are the only big shot, and everyone else should look up to you?”
Bailey''s lips curved into a smirk. “That''s right. I am defaming Vespera because I''m jealous of her being
in the limelight. Also, she could only admire me because she''s not even worthy to be my servant.”
Oh, my God! She is so arrogant!
As the remaining reporters got ready for another round of verbal attack in order to gain more
information, Bailey raised her eyebrows and said, “Half of the reporters already left to publish the
shocking news. If all of you continue dawdling here, you are going to lose coverage. Hurry up and go
back to your offices to write your articles. I really won''t answer any more questions. Don''t even try to
get anything out of me.”
All of the reporters were rendered speechless.
Artemis couldn''t help giving his wife a thumbs-up as he watched the reporters clear the ce one by
one.
He was wholly impressed by Bailey''s actions.
Her intelligence is indeed out of this world.
“Let''s go. I hypnotized them just now, so they took the bait. If they snap back to their senses, they
mighte back to surround us again.”
When Bailey saw Vincent in the bedroom of the Saunders residence, she knew the old man''s time was
almost up, and he was close to death.
Even if she was a miracle doctor, there was nothing much she could do to tackle the natural
progression of life. Death was, ultimately, inevitable.
“Bay, my father can still be cured, right? There''s still hope, right?” asked Victoria as she stood aside,
staring at Bailey earnestly.
Bailey lifted Vincent''s eyelids, felt his pulse, and said to Victoria, “Three days. I can keep him alive for
another three days. You''d better be by his side during this period. After three days, please let him go
peacefully. It''s torturing for him to stay alive.”
Hearing that, Victoria staggered backward and slumped onto the couch.
“Is there really no other way to save him?”
Bailey sighed softly. “Mr. Saunders'' health is deteriorating due to his old age, not because of some
disease. Even if I have superb medical skills, I can''t do much for him. Vicky, let''s be brave and face
reality.”
Cough! Cough!
Vincent coughed and instructed the butler to entertain Artemis and Bailey.
After the couple left the bedroom, Vincent''s gazended on Victoria.
“Vicky,e here.”
Victoria walked over to the side of the bed with heavy footsteps and squatted down, saying tearfully,
“Dad, can you please stay with me for two more years? Victor is in prison now. If you are gone too, who
can I rely on?”
Tears escaped Vincent''s eyes. Seeing how distraught his daughter was, he was even more determined
to take that secret to his grave.
“Vicky, I have let the Gezmond family down. I am the one who ruined the Gezmond family. It''s normal
for him to take revenge on me. Please don''t hate him. Forget about all those sad things in the past and
start over with him.”
Victoria pursed her lips and said hoarsely, “Dad, why did you attack the Gezmond family previously?
Initially, I thought you did it for the sake of acquiring Gezmond Group. However, after all the incidents
that happened recently, I know you are not a person who is greedy for fame or wealth. I can tell that
you don''t value wealth when you gave Lionel all of the Saunders family''s shares. Can you please tell
me the real reason behind what you did to the Gezmond family back then?”
Upon hearing that, Vincent''s pupils constricted, and he averted his gaze. “There is no real reason
behind it. You are overthinking it.”

After he finished his sentence, he began coughing violently again.
Victoria saw through her father''s reluctance to talk about the matter, and that further affirmed her
suspicion.
There must be a hidden reason behind Dad''s attack against the Gezmond family.
“All right, all right. I won''t ask. Please calm down.”
At that instance, Vincent grabbed Victoria''s wrist and snapped, “Live the rest of your life with Lionel.
Both of you still have a long way to go, so don''t wallow in the sorrow of past memories. Just don''t.”
