She stormed forward and grabbed Bailey by the arm before forcefully yanking the latter out of Artemis' embrace.

Upon feeling the extra weight and warmth on his chest being lifted off all of a sudden, Artemis felt a sense of mild discomfort. Subconsciously, he drew his brows together.

The swift change in his expression was noticed by Rhonda.

Artemis really is starting to catch feelings for her. No. I can't let this continue. Otherwise, I'll really lose everything.

With her grip still firmly on Bailey's arm, Felicity pulled Bailey aside and glared at her. “So you're the eldest daughter of the Jefferson family? The one that got kicked out? Ugh, look at you. You look just like a vixen. Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? What makes you think you're good enough to get close to my son and grandson?”

Feeling the dull ache on her arm, Bailey was getting increasingly impatient. A glint of annoyance flashed across her eyes. “You're absolutely right, Mrs. Luther. Every person in the Luther family is a precious, expensive purebred poodle. Thus, you should really take good care of your two dogs,” Bailey mocked. Every word she spoke was laced with sarcasm and disdain.

At her words, Artemis fell silent, in awe that she could tear someone down without a single swear word.

“You—” Enraged, Felicity flung Bailey's arm away from herself forcefully as she heaved violently. From the way she was huffing, it was evident that Felicity was livid.

“Stubborn, as expected. Well, let's see if you can still act so arrogantly in jail!”

Jail?

Bailey narrowed her eyes. The truth of the matter has yet to be revealed, but they're already accusing me of being the culprit. Did they plan to throw me into jail for eternity?

Bailey shifted her gaze to Artemis before raising an eyebrow. “Do you also think I was the one who poisoned them, Mr. Luther?”

In response, Artemis peered at her calmly. “The police will unmask the culprit behind the poisoning the moment they start investigating,” he stated casually.

Bailey's mouth snapped shut.

Hah! Guess I won't be able to clear my name anymore.

After all, the children had gotten poisoned in her condominium. It was no surprise that she would be the prime suspect.
