Chapter 966
Chapter 966 The Domineering Bailey
Cersei was frightened by the icy gaze of the man standing before her.
However, looking at his resolute and handsome face, she suppressed the fear in her heart.
She moved toward him with graceful steps, feigning confusion. “Mr. Luther, what do you mean by that?
I don''t understand. Do you feel unwell? I studied some medical knowledge while I had time at home. I
only know the basics, but perhaps I can give you a checkup?”
The light in Artemis'' gaze suddenly dimmed, and his vision blurred. Through theyers of fog, he
seemed to see the figure of Bailey.
What on earth is this? It can actually cause people to hallucinate.
More importantly, as she continued to approach, the strength in his body gradually drained away,
leaving his legs feeling as if they were filled with lead.
“Artemis...”
The soft, gentle call of Bailey echoed in his ears, causing the cold glint in his eyes to gradually fade.
His pupils contracted sharply, slowly losing focus, bing empty and lifeless.
Upon seeing him fall for her trap, Cersei curled her enchanting red lips into a wickedly yful smile.
She and Eunice were friends. In the past, Eunice had gifted her many sedative fragrances capable of
bewitching the mind and causing one to lose oneself.
I''ve carried this stupefying drug for years, never expecting it toe in handy today. Tonight, I must
have this man.
She wanted Artemis, the man who was the object of desire for countlessdies of high society around
the world and the man who would appear in the dreams of countless young girls.
She thought she would never have any contact with such a favored son of heaven in her lifetime.
Unexpectedly, fate had arranged for their paths to cross.
Since this was a gift from fate, she must firmly grasp it.
“Artemis, I am Bailey. Don''t you love me? Then prove it to me. Can you love me deeply just once? Is
that okay? Please?”
She lured him in with her enchanting voice, all the while closing in on him.
After she reached him, she slowly wrapped her arms around his waist, stood on her tiptoes, and leaned
in toward his thin lips. Their distance went from twenty centimeters to ten centimeters, then finally to
five centimeters.
Just as her lips were about to touch the corner of Artemis'' mouth, a sudden pain in the back of Artemis''
neck snapped him back from his abnormal state.
Looking at the woman who made him feel nauseous in his arms, he instinctively wanted to push her
away.
At that moment, a teasing voice suddenly rang in his ears. “Artemis, you''re holding her so tightly. How
nice it must be to have such a romantic moment. Just now, I asked you if you were meeting a woman
here, and you denied it. Now that you''ve been caught red-handed, what excuses do you have left?”
Artemis suddenly snapped back to reality.
The intense pain that had just shot through the back of his neck must have been from the silver needle
the woman on top of the wall had fired. It had hit him right in his acupoint, temporarily restoring his
consciousness.
After realizing what had happened, the slight nervousness in his heart immediately disappeared.
Since his wife had been watching the whole time, she must have known that he was being set up.
“I''ve already given you a warning, but you chose not to listen and continued to use those underhanded
tactics on me. So don''t me me for not havingpassion for ady.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn''t be bothered to push her away with his hands, deeming it
too dirty. Instead, he directly kicked her,nding a blow on her lower leg.
No one knew how much force he put into that kick, but Cersei was sent flying by it, and shended with
a thud on the floor several meters away.
In his entire life, Artemis had only ever cherished one woman, and that was Bailey. As for the others, to
him, they were no different from men.
Anyone who provoked him, regardless of gender, would be dealt with his most brutal and ruthless
methods.
Cersei, lying on the ground, was struck so hard that she suffered internal injuries, and she spat out a
mouthful of fresh blood.
She stared nkly at the man who had just kicked her. Her voice tinged with a sob as she asked, “Am I
not beautiful? Is my family background not good enough? How can you still remain calm even after
being drugged with a stupefying drug?”
“Allow me to answer that for you.” Bailey leaped down from the wall, advancing toward Cersei step by
step.
“It''s simple—you just don''t catch his eye. If a man is truly interested in a woman, he doesn''t need to
resort to such messy tactics and would still approach her.”
“Y-You... Are you B-Bailey?”
With a faint smile, Bailey swept her gaze over her face, a look of disdain showing. “This skin of yours is
passable, I suppose. Other than that, you have nothing! You, of all people, dare to fantasize about
having a fleeting romance with him?”
Cersei was furious, her charming face twisted in rage. “Bailey, you who were abandoned by your own
family—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Bailey immediately pped her across the face twice.
“Do you know what you remind me of? A vixen that couldn''t steal what she wants, a true disgrace to
her family.”
“You... You...” Cersei, overwhelmed with rage, spat out a few fragmented words. Her eyes then rolled to
the back of her head, and she passed out immediately.
With a cold smile, Bailey slowly straightened up and sarcastically said toward the end of the corridor,
“Old Mr. White, the one who is cooperating with you is Artemis, not me. If the White family doesn''t want
to be annihted by the Saviors, make sure your daughter disappears from my sight forever. I''ve heard
that many churches are looking for nuns. Ms. White''s soul isn''t pure, so you should send her there for a
good cleansing.”
A deathly silence ensued.
A full minute had passed when a slightly hoarse voice echoed from the end of the corridor. “It is I who
failed to guide her properly, leading her tomit such a shameful act. Your suggestion is excellent,

Ms. Jefferson. Her bing a nun and remaining unmarried for life is indeed the best oue. I will
certainly take your advice, so please calm down.”
With a cold huff, Bailey ignored him and walked over to Artemis. With a serious face, she asked, “Are
youing with me or staying the night here? Ms. White hasn''t—”
Before she could finish speaking, Artemis scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the door.
The effects of the drug within him red up again.
Initially, he wanted to force the White family''s head to hand over the antidote. But seeing Bailey''s
domineering and overbearing demeanor, he changed his mind.
The leader of the Saviors was an entity that could strike fear into countless people upon the mere
mention of the title.
Even with all his capabilities, Wilfred had no choice but to agree to send his daughter to a church to
be a nun in order to quell her anger.
That was why just the thought of being able to dominate and tease such a strong and proud woman
gave Artemis a unique sense of aplishment.
At the end of the corridor, the figure of Wilfred gradually came into view.
He stared at the doorway for quite some time before finally shifting his gaze to his daughter, who had
fainted in the courtyard.
“Escort her to a church immediately, Arnold. From this day onward, Cersei is no longer a part of the
White family. She is a nun, dedicated to serving the divine.”
“B-But once she bes a nun, her life will be ruined. Are you really—”
“What else can we do, go against Artemis and Bailey? Don''t be naive. They hold the power of Tarragon
and the Saviors. Never mind the White family; not even ten or twenty prestigious families can withstand
their joint attack and retaliation. We were truly reckless tonight. I should never have agreed to such an
absurd request. Everyone knows that Artemis is deeply in love with Bailey. How could I have done such
a foolish thing?”
The butler, Arnold, said nothing to that.
After leaving the courtyard with Bailey in his arms, Artemis headed straight for the woods.
