Chapter 626 A Divorce
A misunderstanding? Don''t tell me he has to do this because of the mission. This is uneptable! Just
uneptable!
Artemis'' act of betrayal kept racing through Bailey''s mind, cutting through her heart like a knife.
She was not someone who could tolerate an affair. She was not that forgiving regarding rtionships
and would never condone any disloyalty.
“Zeke, he might have really lost his memories, or else he wouldn''t have allowed that woman to get so
close to him. We all saw that he was the one who threw her on the bed and pinned her down. He... did
it willingly.”
Bailey turned pale and started shaking as she spoke.
It did not matter to her if Artemis faked his memory loss—what she saw broke her.
Seeing this, Raiden patted Bailey on the shoulder, trying tofort her.
Usually, he would seize every opportunity to ridicule Artemis, but he did not this time because he saw
how hurt Bailey was.
Raiden loved her and did not want her to be heartbroken, so much so that he was willing to put aside
his prejudice against that man.
“The Artemis I know is not someone who would go for a woman like that, so you should trust him. If you
really love him that much, you should give him absolute trust.”
Struck by his words, she turned stiffly and looked at him.
She did not cry—she had learned to stay strong after going through so much.
After a brief silence, she said with a bitter smile, “What has happened has already happened, so
there''s no point talking about it anymore. Don''t worry. I''m not that weak. I won''t kill myself because of
something like this.”
With that said, Bailey picked up her phone and walked toward the door.
Worried, Zeke and Raiden followed after her, but Bailey shouted without even turning back or stopping,
“Leave me alone! I need some time. I''ll be taking a walk around the artificialke and won''t do anything
stupid.”
Then, she disappeared behind the door.
“Are you sure we can leave her alone? She looks devastated,” Raiden asked, looking at Zeke.
“There''s nothing we can do. She wants to be alone right now, so just let her be,” Zeke answered,
shaking his head.
Over in a guest room at Tarragon, Yvette was sitting on the couch, using a unique device to make a
phone call.
When the call got through, she stated immediately, “I''m positive Artemis has lost his memory. What is
our next step? How are we getting rid of Bailey?”
An answer came from the other end in the form of a disguised male voice, but the real identity and
gender of the speaker remained unknown.
“We can proceed to our next step now that you''ve confirmed he has forgotten everything. I doubt luck
will be on Bailey''s side this time around. Our chance wille. Your father might have died, but his
connections are still avable. It''s time you tap into those resources to eliminate Bailey for good. I know
you won''t stop until she''s gone.”
Yvette frowned at the suggestion.
Use those connections? That''s my insurance for when anything happens to me. If I lose that, then that
will be the end for me. I don''t have any other strong backing.
Sensing her reluctance, the voice said again, “Just to remind you, Your Royal Highness, we''re trying to
make you the matriarch here. You can''t just sit idly here without doing anything. I don''t suppose you
expect me to be doing everything for you. Well, it''s not like I have a problem with that. It''s just that there
are things beyond my capabilities.”
Yvette clenched her phone as she listened to the other party.
That''s right. Bing the matriarch is my goal. I should be doing something to reach that goal.
After a brief silence, Yvette agreed, “All right. I''ll seek their help, but you''ll have to make sure you kill
her.”
“Rest assured that this will happen. This is the sole purpose of our years of nning. As long as I get
help from your side, I can readily vanquish her.”
“Good.”
After the call ended, Yvette tightened her grip on themunication device.
Great achievement is born of great sacrifice. I have to do this.
With that thought, she searched for a code and drafted a message before sending it out.
Meanwhile, Artemis watched the night sky from the master bedroom as he leaned against the floor-to-
ceiling window.
His eyes turned mysteriously dark as he swirled the ss of red wine in his hand.
Just then, Holden barged into the room.
“Yvette asked her men to send a video she took to Bailey!”
Artemis was stunned. He had a bad feeling about it.
A video? Don''t tell me it''s a video of us in bed. Sh*t! I was too focused on getting rid of her that I
overlooked her little trick. She must have nted a camera in her coat, positioning it in the bed''s
direction. Screw her! Bailey must be so upset to see that. I need to see her now.
With that thought, Artemis hurriedly headed for the door, but Holden held him back by his shoulder and
reminded him, “Calm down. Leaving this ce to see her now will only ruin our n. Don''t you want to
know who''s behind all this? Haven''t you been waiting to destroy them all in one go once Yvette
gathered her men? If that''s what you want, be patient. It''s painful, but you have to do it.”
After standing there for what felt like forever, trying to grapple with the severity of the situation, he
finally relented. “Fine. She must be so miserable right now, but that will only put things to our
advantage. It''ll make the whole thing more believable to them. Once they lower their guards, I''ll destroy
them all in one fell swoop.”
Since Artemis hade to terms with the situation, Holden let go of him and smiled. “Actually, you
don''t have to worry about her misunderstanding you. Ms. Bailey is a smart and discerning woman.
She''s not one to be bothered by something like this.”
Artemis held his forehead and sighed. “I hope so. How are things with Yvette now? Did she contact
anyone?”
“I was just about to tell you—she had just contacted those people outside with the special
listen in to the conversation, but if she calls that person again, we can decode what they said with radio
waves.”
Nodding, Artemis replied, “Ramp up our operation. I want answers in ten days.”
“Of course.”
On the other end, Bailey had just entered a ward at the medical base when she saw Victoria reading
through a divorce agreement.
