Chapter 562 No Way Out
Artemisughed.
“You''ve got guts. Fine, then I''ll leave you to it. Don''t worry. I''ll shelter you for free, and I won''t ask for
anything in return. You won''t face any sort of danger either.”
“Okay.”
Inside the CEO''s private elevator, Bailey suddenly yelled out loud.
Chloe subconsciously turned to look at Bailey and met her gaze.
In the next moment, Chloe suddenly looked as if she were in a trance as her pupils began to dte.
Bailey smirked. She had never been a virtuous person, to begin with. Rhonda and rence were hell-
bent on messing with her, which led to them both taking a tumble in the sheets. Everyone then found
out the details of their sordid affair.
The woman standing before Bailey had nothing to do with her. If Chloe wanted to mess with Bailey,
then she needed to have to courage to face the consequences.
So, you love Artemis? After today, I doubt she''d have the guts toe after my man.
The snap of Bailey''s fingers echoed loudly in the elevator. Soon, Chloe''s consciousness was under
Bailey''spletemand. Bailey then looked straight into Chloe''s eyes and nted her thoughts
into her subconscious.
“You''re dying for a man''s touch. You won''t resist or say no. You will submit to him as much as possible.
Do you understand?”
Chloe nodded.
...
Ten minutester, screams of shock could be heard in the office lobby on the first floor.
Countless professionals dressed in suits were gathered around the elevator doors, gawking at the
sights within.
“Oh my! Isn''t that our chief secretary?”
“Goodness! Isn''t that Mr. Luther''s former bodyguard?”
“Ms. West is someone from an esteemed family. By the heavens, she seemed so pure and innocent,
having received a good education. I never thought she''d be so passionate. It''s one thing to be
fascinated with a bodyguard, but for them to do this inside Mr. Luther''s private elevator? Are they acting
out the scenes from a forbidden love story or something?”
“I guess Jacques didn''t approve of them being together, so they''ve decided to put on a show and let the
world decide. That way, Jacques would have no choice but to agree.”
“Guys, you seem to have quite the imagination.”
“Pfft. Are you sure it''s my imagination that''s running wild? Just look at them! They seem to be in their
own world, unaffected by everything going around them. They also appear to be reallyfortable.
She doesn''t look like she''s being forced either. Didn''t you hear Ms. West saying she was dying for a
man''s touch just now?”
Suddenly, the sound of frantic footsteps emerged from the main entrance. Soon, a good number of
reporters flooded the scene.
“We heard that Bailey was caught shagging with Mr. Luther''s bodyguard. Where are they? Where were
they found?”
Artamisughad.
“You''va got guts. Fina, than I''llava you to it. Don''t worry. I''ll shaltar you for fraa, and I won''t ask for
anything in raturn. You won''t faca any sort of dangar aithar.”
“Okay.”
Insida tha CEO''s privata vator, Bay suddanly yad out loud.

In tha naxt momant, Chloa suddanly lookad as if sha wara in a tranca as har pupils bagan to dta.

So, you lova Artamis? Aftar today, I doubt sha''d hava tha guts toa aftar my man.
Tha snap of Bay''s fingars achoad loudly in tha vator. Soon, Chloa''s consciousnass was undar
Bay''stamand. Bay than lookad straight into Chloa''s ayas and ntad har thoughts
into har subconscious.
“You''ra dying for a man''s touch. You won''t rasist or say no. You will submit to him as much as possi.

“Oh my! Isn''t that our chiaf sacratary?”

“Wa haard that Bay was caught shagging with Mr. Luthar''s bodyguard. Whara ara thay? Whara wara
thay found?”
“That''s right! Where are they?”
“Well, they were inside the CEO''s private elevator. However, it wasn''t Bai—”
Before that employee could finish speaking, the group broke through the crowd and made their way to
the elevator entrance.
Nobody was prepared for the madness they were about to witness.
In the CEO''s office, Bailey was curled up in Artemis'' embrace.
“I feel so much better all of a sudden!” said Bailey happily. “Do you think it was poor behavior on my
part?”
With a smile and a nod, Artemis replied and said, “Well, you''re bad and you''ve really got the guts. You
even dared to mess with Ms. West? Tell me, why did youe to see me today?”
Bailey stretched and exined Veronique''s request in simple terms.
Artemis listened to Veronica before analyzing the situation rationally. “The Campbell family is Justin''s
maternal side of the family. They''ve always been in the same position in the political field. This is why
Mrs. Xuereb is so insistent on Justin marrying the scion of the Fletcher family. By marrying her, the
Campbell family would gain a lot of benefits. They could also advance in terms of political power.”
“So, you think that the old hag from the Xuereb family would really go on a hunger strike for the sake of
her natal family?” asked Bailey incredulously.
Artemisughed and shook his head. “I doubt they''ll wait for her to actually die. I think Justin will
“Is that so?” Bailey narrowed her eyes and added, “Justin and Veronique have been through so much.
Would he really let her go that easily?”
Artemis sighed and replied, “In one''s life, setbacks and misfortunes happen from time to time. How can
things be smooth sailing all the time? Justin isn''t a heartless person. He''s facing pressure from
Ambrose as well as his mother, who has resorted to drastic measures. Maybe he willpromise after
all.”
Bailey clenched her jaw and said, “I''m going to see Raiden. Maybe he can help the Campbell family
solve its crisis.”
“Who gave you the audacity?” Artemis then red at Bailey and retorted, “You mustn''t go around
provoking other men. Is that clear?”
“Ha! I can''t believe you have the guts to order me around. Mr. Luther, if I hadn''t acted on that woman
first, then it could be you who ends up in the gutter after being bedded by her.”
Artemis then turned away with a huff and stopped talking.
Bailey giggled when she saw how sullen Artemis looked. “Okay, okay, I''ll stop poking fun at you. I just
won''t see Raiden then, sheesh. Why are you getting upset? I''ll leave Justin to you. Go and find out
what he has to say and see what he thinks.”
“That''s right! Where are they?”
“Well, they were inside the CEO''s private elevator. However, it wasn''t Bai—”
“Okay.”
The news of a rich youngdy falling in love with a poor bodyguard spread like wildfire. It was imed
that the pair chose to make love in the elevator of the CEO of Luther Group to force her father to
approve of the rtionship.
The trending topic online also came with plenty of explicit photographs. For a while, it sent inte
users into an uproar.
When Chloe came to her senses after being hypnotized, she realized that she was exposed before all
the onlookers. She was unable to tolerate the humiliation and rammed her head into the elevator wall.
Since Luther Group also came equipped with an infirmary, she was quickly brought there for treatment.
When Chloe came to, she wanted to end her life again, but Laura quickly stopped her by pping
Chloe hard across the face twice. It was only then that she managed to gain some emotional stability.
“Mom, what do I do? I''m ruined! My whole life is ruined thanks to that disgusting incident with Mr.
Luther''s bodyguard! Mr. Luther is never going to look me in the eye again!” bawled Chloe.
A stern look shed in Laura''s eyes as she asked through gritted teeth, “How on earth did this happen?
When this bodyguard took advantage of you, why didn''t you fight back? Why did you look like you were
submitting to him?”
Chloe trembled violently and replied, “I-It was Bailey! That b*tch must have drugged me! That''s why I
have no recollection of this! Mom, I didn''t do it willingly! Please exin to everyone else that I was not
willing, won''t you?”
Laura stomped her foot violently as she shook in hatred.
“There''s no point. The doctor has examined you and noticed no traces of any foreign substances in
your blood. Now the whole world thinks that you were willing, and that''s why... Forget it. Even if you had
a thousand mouths, you can''t talk your way out of this one.”
“Ah!”
Screams of virulent hatred and despair then filled every corner of the infirmary.
...
In the Tarragon branch''s guest room, Yvette was on the phone.
For some reason, she suddenly leaped from the sofa after hearing what the other party had said.
“Mr. Raymond, what are you saying? Leader wants to arrange a marriage for me and have me married
off as soon as possible?”
A sigh could be heard from the receiver. “That''s right. He asked Holden to find you a promising young
man from his department. He has ordered that you be married within the next two weeks.”
Yvette''s knees shook before she copsed back onto the couch once more. “Then why are you
hesitating? Hurry up and expose Artemis and Bailey''s true identities to the outside world. We''ll break
them up first before continuing this conversation.”
