Chapter 994 Love Rival Deres War
Artemis gave him a nce and made a silent gesture.
Next, he spoke into the microphone. “Keep a close watch on the movements in the castle. Inform me immediately if there''s any slightest
disturbance.”
“Noted.”
After hanging up the phone, he finally turned his attention to Ken standing at the door, furrowing his brows as he asked, “What''s the
situation?”
Ken strode over to him and handed him the tablet in his hand. “This must be why Kurt has been hesitant to make a move. He probably already
knows that you and Old Mr. White have set a trap for him.”
Artemis took the tablet from his hand, lowering his gaze to look at it. Immediately, a cold light flickered in his eyes.
Cersei has escaped. After slipping away from the church, she went to the castle to meet Kurt. It must have been she who informed him about
my alliance with Old Mr. White.
I should have nipped it in the bud from the start. A moment of my soft-heartedness has allowed her to ruin our carefullyid ns.
It seems like I''ve truly be too kind-hearted. In the past, I would not easily let go of anyone who posed a threat to my ns.
This time, he had followed Bailey''s suggestion and sent the woman to the church, neglecting to be cautious. As a result, he took such a big
fall, which was indeed quite a pity.
“Don''t tell Mrs. Luther about this,” he said, fearing she would feel guilty and me herself if she knew.
Ken hummed in acknowledgment and asked, “Mr. Luther, what should we do next?”
Artemis'' gaze fell on theputer screen, his voice cool and detached. “I''ve already discussed it with Old Mr. White. He should be able to
force Kurt to act.
Right now, the most important thing isn''t dealing with Kurt but rescuing ze. I can''t let Kurt use ze''s life as a bargaining chip when he''s
backed into a corner again.
“Pay more attention to Cersei''s side. If she leaves the castle, notify me immediately. She holds great value to me.”
“Understood.”
No sooner had Ken left than Bailey pushed the door open and walked in.
“Artemis, I can''t stand that woman anymore. She''s disgustingly unbearable. Can you please rescue ze sooner, so I can quickly get rid of
that nauseating being?”
Seeing the anger rising on his wife''s face, Artemis couldn''t help but chuckle.
He knew she had gone to the mansion on the east side to meet that imposter. He guessed that woman must have said quite a few distasteful
things in front of Bailey, which had thoroughly infuriated her.
Although Bailey is reserved and assertive, she is not a harsh person.
If she hadn''t been pushed to her limits, she would never have uttered such cutting words.
He strode over to her, pulling her into his embrace. As he gently patted her back to soothe her, he said, “Give me three more days. I promise to
deal with Kurt and rescue ze.”
Seeing his earnest promises, Bailey felt her anger subside quite a bit. “It''s actually quite funny when I think about it. I''ve fought with so many
two-faced people, but this is the first time I''ve been so infuriated. Artemis, the people you''ve attracted are truly more impressive, one after the
other. You''ve really opened my eyes.
In the end, she was practically gritting her teeth, forcing out each word one by one.
Artemis was in the wrong, so even after suffering such great injusticest night, he didn''t dare to y the victim.
Indeed, I''ve brought this trouble upon myself. Now, seeing my wife so upset, I truly deserve to be scolded and punished.
“Don''t worry. I promise this is thest time. If there are other women causing trouble in the future, I''ll cut them off myself.”
N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Seeing him so nervous that his forehead was drenched in sweat, Bailey lost herposure in an instant.
She wrapped her arms around him from behind, her voice soft and tender. “What should we do? There are so many women after you. I''m
really afraid that one day, I might lose you without realizing it.”
Artemis lowered his head to kiss her forehead, pressing his thin lips against her eyelids. He whispered, “Don''t worry. I don''t feel anything for
other women. Once we''re done with the Gregan matter, let''s return to Hallsbay for our wedding. I think once I''m married, those annoying
women will finally give up.”
“Hehe, remember your words. The first thing you do when we get back is to propose to the Shurmer family and then marry me.”
Artemis looked at her with a foolishly affectionate gaze, slowly reaching out to caress her cheek. His fingertips lingered, his movements
gentle, and in his sharp eyes, there was an undissolvable depth of affection.
“All right. I''ll marry you once we get back.”
A few minutester, Bailey and Artemis had a heated argument in the study, which even led to bloodshed, startling everyone in the mansion.
When this news reached Eunice, she seized the moment when Cameron went downstairs to fetch some snacks and immediately ryed the
information to Kurt, instructing him to spread the news.
She was determined to let everyone in the world know that Artemis had betrayed Bailey. The love between them was nothing more than a
hollow shell now, their paths destined to diverge any day.
The reason for doing that was to encourage those who admire Bailey to make a move.
If they could snatch Bailey away from Artemis'' side, it would be more than perfect.
And indeed, her method was quite effective.
As soon as the scandal of Artemis'' betrayal of Bailey broke out, those people, who admired Bailey yet dared not cross the line due to Artemis''
dominance, began to stir.
Bailey was not only powerful in her own right, but she was also the legitimate daughter of the world''s leading medical family. Whoever
married her would indeed be stepping into a world of great fortune.
Who would want to miss such a great opportunity?
Upon learning about the overwhelming news circting outside, Artemis wanted to order someone to suppress it.
However, the momentum was too great. The two protagonists were internationally renowned figures. No matter how much he tried to
suppress it, the news kept growing like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
Some admirers of Bailey even went so far as to send text messages to Artemis, dering war on him. This nearly infuriated the man to the
point of illness.
Inside the castle''s main building''s study.
Kurt sat on the couch, coldly scanning the overwhelming news on his phone about Artemis'' infidelity. A hint of sarcasm curled up at the
corner of his lips.
So it turns out that not only would I touch another woman under the influence of a love potion, but Artemis would do the same.
Ha, none of us is nobler than the other. We''re all the same, all equally messed up.
With all those news and hidden rivals entangled with Luther now, he presumably won''t have the energy to target me for a while.
This is exactly the effect I''m aiming for.
He now held the White family''s seal in his hand. If it weren''t for his concern that Artemis might intervene to help that old man, he would have
already attacked the White family.
With the current situation at hand, he figured Artemis probably wouldn''t have the mental bandwidth to deal with the White family''s mess
anymore.
If I were to take action, my chances of winning could increase by at least thirty percent.
Beep!
The cellphone on the table suddenly rang.
Upon checking, he saw that it was a familiar number.
Quite familiar, indeed. He often saw his mother dialing that number in the past.
The call connected sessfully, and Wilfred''s chilly voice came through the receiver.
“I''ve been waiting for you at the White residence. Three days have passed, and you still haven''t shown up. Ah, you really have grown up, able
to stand your ground.”
Kurt suddenly gripped his phone tightly.
Hearing that voice, he was reminded of the days when he and his elder brother were abandoned and wandering.
As they were being scorned and trampled upon by others, every minute and every second felt worse than death.
What gives this old geezer the right to say that I''ve “grown up”?
