Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

S-She's challenging me!

She's blatantly challenging and provoking me!

Caridee had never suffered such treatment before, so she raised her hand and was prepared to give Bailey a harsh slap.

Naturally, Bailey wasn't going to just stand still and take it. However, she didn't try to stop Caridee either. Instead, she turned her body to the side and managed to dodge the incoming slap.

Hitting air, Caridee became even more enraged.

She stepped forward and was planning to give Bailey another slap. But the moment she raised her hand, she was pulled back by someone.

That someone was not Bailey, but...

Caridee stared at her brother in disbelief. Gritting her teeth, she huffed, “Artemis, are you really going to protect this outsider? She dirtied the Chivers family's bloodline and has Uncle Yoel and Aunt Gwendolyn wrapped around her finger. How could you choose to protect someone like this?”

Artemis put in some force and threw her to the couch. In an icy tone, he uttered, “I don't mind you being a spoiled brat, but I will not allow you to act so unreasonably. Now tell me, where did you learn to act like such a shrew? Or perhaps, did someone instigate you to do this?”

Caridee pursed her lips and sat up halfway by supporting her weight on her elbow. She shot daggers at Bailey and spat, “You vile vixen! Not only did you manage to make Edmund fawn all over you, but you're aiming for my brother now? You'd better pray your luck stays, or I'll make sure your reputation is in tatters before forcing you out of Hallsbay.”

Bailey sighed softly.

My, my, seems like she has been seriously brainwashed by Rhonda. If this continues, it will be the end of such an outstanding student. But I guess I shouldn't be too bothered by it. After all, what she will become in the future and how her character will be has nothing to do with me.

“Well, since Ms. Caridee hates my design so much, I won't force it on you then.”

She then turned to look at Dwayne. “Mr. Derning, could I trouble you to throw the design draft into the shredder for me? All right now, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving then. Goodbye.”

There's no need to get all huffy for a nobody. It's her loss to not know a treasure when she sees one. Since you've already done what you're supposed to, you can let the matter go. I just hope that Caridee won't have the gall to wear your design since she hates it. When that happens, you can simply choose to sell your design to
