Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 245

Dead silence reigned.

Two whole minutes passed before Veronique's hoarse voice drifted out of the phone. “Let me think about it further. There must be some other way to convince Scarlett. I'm sure about that.”

After saying that, she hung up right away.

Bailey stared at her blackened phone screen through narrowed eyes, sighing helplessly.

If Justin were designated as the ideal son-in-law by some ordinary merchant family, it wouldn't be a problem to kick up a fuss since she has the Revelle family backing her up. Alas, the other party is a prestigious family in the military field, the Fletcher family. Their influence encompasses the entire political arena, and they have ultimate power. With a single order, even the Luther family would suffer a blow, much less the Revelle family, with no underworld background.

“What's wrong? I could hear you sighing from the adjacent room. Have you run into a problem of some sort?”

All of a sudden, a deep and rich voice rang out beside her ear, making her jump.

Sensing a broad chest plastered against her back, she didn't dare move about.

“M-Move back for a bit. I'm feeling hot.”

Artemis arched an eyebrow with a smirk. “Are you? In that case, how about stripping? Then, you won't be hot anymore.”

Words eluded Bailey.

Good Lord! This raunchy beast has started acting up again!

Reaching out, Artemis wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his handsome face into the hair at the back of her head. He inhaled deeply before murmuring in a husky voice, “I was initially rather tired, but all my fatigue dissipated after I took in your fragrance. I now feel that I've got unceasing energy. How about—”

“Stop!” Bailey hastily interjected. She then ordered, “Go and talk to Justin. Tell him about the dastardly thing he did seven years ago. Zephyr is innocent, and he shouldn't be tortured to death by his illness.”

In response, Artemis gave a low chuckle. “This decision should've been made long ago instead of dragging things out until now. I know you're both worried about the Fletcher family's influence, but here in Hallsbay, I am the law. I'm not necessarily afraid of Sloan Fletcher.”

Bailey abruptly turned around. “You also think we should tell Jus... Hmph...”

Her action made it evident that she was offering herself to the man behind her on a silver platter. As such, Artemis naturally didn't hold back with her.
