Chapter 89

Bailey raised her eyebrows and smiled.

“Don't worry. Artemis knows what to do, and he will not blame you. Besides, I can't back out of this even if I want to. The large compensation will force me into submission if we don't clarify this matter. It's the same as showing up in court and letting them defame me. Think about it. I can hit them all in the face with the verdict when it comes out. It's going to be fun.”

“You're going too far,” Xavier chastised in amusement. “Serves them right for being dumb enough for you to toy with. It's funny how they want to pick a fight with you despite being too stupid to follow through.”

“Why don't you sneak back here? I'll take you for a show,” she offered with a smirk.

Xavier was rendered speechless.

“Hang on. I have an incoming call. Help me take care of business at Archulea, and I'll treat you to dinner when I'm there.”

“No problem.”

After ending the first call, Bailey answered another one.

“Somebody leaked your whereabouts, Ms. Jefferson. A large crowd of reporters is on their way to Century Hotel. Would you like to retreat?”

Hearing that, Bailey narrowed her eyes. She did not who the person who called her.

The caller seemed to have sensed her deliberation. “Mr. Luther sent me to protect you from the shadows, Ms. Jefferson. There's no need to be wary of my words.”

“All right, I got it. Don't stop them. Let them come in.”

“Huh?” The man on the other end was baffled. Ms. Jefferson has an unorthodox way of thinking. No wonder they feel so good about themselves after committing plagiarism. I could never understand people whose brains are wired this way.

“I said, let them come in.”

“Oh, all right.”

After hanging up, Bailey swiftly packed up her belongings before heading next door.
