Chapter 204

Artemis shook his head and sighed.

Forget it. I'm only here to test the waters with Justin. Now that I know the issues he has to face, I can't pressure him anymore. If Veronique wants Justin to know about the kid, she'll come to look for him herself.

Artemis was an outsider to the situation, and it was best if he did not get involved.

“Artemis, you're acting strange today. It's almost as if you're hiding something from me.”

Artemis tilted his head back and downed the red wine.

“You know how it goes. Veronique is close to Bailey; I'm only speaking on her behalf to please Bailey. Since you don't intend to marry Veronique, I'll have to say the two of you are not fated to be. I'll leave first, so carry on with what you were doing earlier.”

With that said, he turned to leave the room.

At that, Justin quickly said, “I'm going to the Luther family's infirmary this afternoon, so inform the person in charge there about my visit.”

Artemis halted in his tracks and turned to look at him. “You have something to do there?”

Justin lowered his head to conceal the glint in his eyes as he answered, “I'm going to check the blood samples in the blood bank as usual.”

“I see. I'll inform the person in charge of the infirmary later.”

A week later, Bailey was at the pharmaceutical factory.

“Ms. Jefferson, this is great news! Our third clinical trial was a success! If we succeed one more time, this new medication can enter the market!”

Bailey smiled before raising her hand to massage her temples. In a soft voice, she said, “We have a ninety percent chance of succeeding in the fourth trial, so keep a close eye on it. Remember to come to me right away if anything crops up.”

“Of course.”

In a private mansion in the suburbs, Cadence was holding onto a glass of red wine by the tall windows as a man in black behind him gave his report.
