Chapter 198

Chuckling coldly, Bailey flipped over and got out of bed.

Artemis hastily shot his hand out and grabbed her arm. Again, he asked, “You stabbed me?”

Shooting him a glare, Bailey countered through gritted teeth, “Was I to stand idly by as you bedded this woman instead of stabbing you? You probably didn't see your wild behavior earlier, Mr. Luther. You were no different from a beast.”

In response, Artemis chuckled lowly, looking delighted. “Great job! If I dare flirt with other women in the future, just stab me in such a manner.”

Bailey was wholly dumbstruck.

Following her lead, Artemis flipped over and stood up. His movement tugged at the wound on his thigh, making him grimace in pain.

“F*ck! Could you stab me someplace else next time? This spot is too dangerous. How am I to bed you if you accidentally injure my manhood?”

Bailey was speechless.

Inhaling deeply, she suppressed the urge to do exactly that and snapped, “If you continue yakking, I'll finish you off right this instant!”

This time, Artemis went silent.

Touching his nose, he flashed her a sheepish smile.

How savage, taciturn and ruthless! I like it!

Not in the mood to entertain him, Bailey took a pill out of her pouch and stuffed it into his mouth. “It's the antidote to the aphrodisiac. Swallow it.”

A flash of something flittered across Artemis' eyes, and he drawled smilingly, “Instead of this antidote, I'd rather you help me with your body.”

Upon hearing that, Bailey gave him a swift kick.

At once, Artemis dodged. “Okay, okay, I'll stop teasing you. Let's get down to business.”

Bailey threw him a warning look.

Then, she lifted her hand and pointed at Rhonda. Frowning, she stated, “She conspired with Cadence to set you up. As for her motive, I'm sure you're well aware of it without me having to spell it out for you. How are you planning to deal with her?”
