Chapter 117

What plan?

A vicious smile grew on Beatrice's lips.

“Didn't she recently become the lead designer at Luther Group's headquarters? We'll start with her job, then. Don't worry. With Jessica helping us out, we have more than enough ways to ruin Bailey's reputation at work.”

At night, Bailey stepped out of the taxi and was about to return to her condominium when she spotted a familiar figure at the end of the street.

The sky was dark. The only lights around her were the scattered glow from the dim streetlights. Nevertheless, she still managed to see who it was with just one glance—Edmund Chivers.

Five days later, he had finally reappeared.

“Hello, it's been a while.” When she spoke, she tried her best to make herself sound calm.

Edmund had never thought that she would greet him in the same way she usually would, so he froze in his spot.

Bailey walked over and smiled while waving her hand in front of him. “Snap back to your senses. What if a ghost comes and steals your soul while you're in a daze?”

“You...” Edmund couldn't refrain from laughing. “You're you indeed. No matter how serious something is, it never seems to affect you.”

Is that so?

Bailey only smiled and shook her head.

Nothing else in the world seemed to matter as much anymore since she had experienced losing a child.

“Without me, Edmund, you're still you; you're still the gentle, polite, and graceful son of the Chivers family. It's a fact that there's no such thing as not being able to live on without someone.”

“No,” Edmund said hoarsely, grabbing her shoulders. “Bay, I've spent five days suppressing the overwhelming feelings in me, but my past few days of living like a walking dead have told me that my life is colorless without you. I feel empty.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes and cried out in fury, “Edmund, ask yourself. Am I worthy of you?”

A pained expression came over Edmund's face. “I love you, so everything about you is good to me, and I think you are worthy of me in every aspect.”

“What about Simon? He's your cousin, and now the whole world knows that I gave birth to two of his children. How are you planning to cross this moral line and marry me?”

Her words were like a dagger stabbing Edmund's heart.

He slowly closed his eyes, seemingly mustering the courage to do something. A long while of silence later, he took in a deep breath as if he had made up his mind.

the same time, he whispered into her ear, “Simon has a girlfriend, and he doesn't intend to marry you. Bay, let's go back to Archulea soon, okay? Let's give
