Chapter 217

Bailey picked up a file from the desk and tossed it at his face. What a scoundrel!

“Get out!”

Artemis grabbed hold of the file as it slid down his cheeks. He arched his brows and said, “You insulted me first. Why can't I tease you back?”

Bailey rolled her eyes. She shot daggers at him and sneered, “Did I insult you? Your wedding with Rhonda has become the talk of the town, and you two will be holding the wedding of the century soon. Why can't I, your employee, give you my blessings?”

Artemis laughed even more loudly. He pressed one of his hands on the desk and reached out his other hand to lift her V-shaped chin. “Honey, are you jealous?”

Honey? Bailey lifted her arm to slap his hand off her chin. Disgusted by his remark, she gritted her teeth and said, “Are you done teasing me? If yes, please get out. I'm busy and have no time for your nonsense.”

Artemis grinned and shook his head. “I want you to know that the only name that will appear on my marriage certificate is Bailey Jefferson. No other woman is qualified to put her name in that column, so ignore those rumors.”

Bailey was stunned for a moment.

She thought the man would screw Rhonda up by marrying her so that she could experience the feeling of falling from grace.

Upon hearing his remark, she felt there was more to it than meets the eye. “Did you bribe City Hall officers and get them to fabricate a marriage certificate?”

“No, no, no.” Artemis arched his brows and smirked. “Rhonda did marry someone named Artemis Luther. But that Artemis is a beggar, not me. Well, technically speaking, that's not the beggar's name either. I had to spend a million to get his name changed.”

Bailey was at a loss for words.

While staring at the man with a nasty look, her lips twitched. Men can become much crueler than women if they want to.
