SUPER MOMMY AND HER TRIPLETS - Season 2 Episode 75

Arrogant?

Bailey curled her lips into a smile.

If I wasn’t brazen and behaved submissively instead, I would have been chewed up entirely by this group of people.

“Since I dare to say it, I naturally have a way to resolve the matter. Besides, aren’t you trying to get rid of me from Luther Group? That will also have to depend on your capability to get some dirt on me.”

As her words fell, she strutted in her heels toward Artemis, who was sitting at the head of the table.

When she got near enough, she stopped in her tracks. Raising her brows, she looked at him with a smile. “Mr. Luther, now that all the directors are all worked up and can’t wait to skin me alive, I figure they won’t believe a thing I say. It seems that I must set an ultimatum to prove myself.”

Artemis was tapping languidly on the table with one hand. Despite looking up at her, he didn’t seem as if he had lowered his position at all.

“Mmm. Given the huge pressure they’re exerting, an ultimatum is indeed necessary.”

“All right then.” Bailey leaned forward with both hands on the table. Giving Artemis a devilish look, she sneered, “I can help clean up this mess, but there’s no reason for me to tolerate the board venting their frustrations on me. If you want me to resolve the matter for you, you have to agree to a condition of mine.”

Artemis’ eye glistened faintly in delight. Nevertheless, he still managed to hide it well.

This woman is putting another of her schemes into play. I really like how she’s ruthlessly trying to exact revenge.

“Go on.”

Bailey stood back upright before pointing at the members of the board. She declared in a forceful voice, “If I resolve this matter perfectly, all of you will have to apologize for how you treated me today.”

“What did you say?” One of the directors sprang to his feet. Glaring at Bailey, he admonished her, “You’re nothing but an employee of Luther Group. What makes you think you can demand an apology from the board?”

“Are you refusing?” With a shrug of her shoulders, Bailey remarked in a nonchalant tone, “If all of you don’t agree, I would not blindly go through the trouble. You can go ahead and hold me accountable based on the previous decision. After kicking me out, you can then wait and see if Emmy Boutique will actually sue me.”

“Hmph, do you think we don’t dare do that? Mr. Luther, on behalf of the board, I request that you strip Bailey of her role as lead designer. After that, push all the responsibility over the plagiarizing incident onto her so that when Emmy Boutique subsequently pursues the matter, they will have to look for her, as it no longer has anything to do with Luther Group.”

Hearing him, Bailey chuckled softly.

Truth be told, she had no intention of humiliating the bunch of old men. However, given how relentlessly they were attacking her, there was no reason for her to show them mercy.

Scrutinizing Bailey’s expression, Artemis caught a glimpse of the scheming smile that cracked from her lips.

Seriously, this woman…

“Do all of you share the same opinion and concur that Luther Group should fire Bailey and that she should shoulder all the blame?”

“This was her mess, to begin with. Dismissing her and holding her responsible is the natural thing to do.”

“That’s right. Our decision to fire her is unanimous. Only by punishing her can Luther Group clear its name in the plagiarizing scandal.”

“Fine.” Artemis stroked his chin while making the decisive decision. “I will now fire her with the board bearing witness. From now on, Bailey is no longer the lead designer at Luther Group headquarters. As for the plagiarizing scandal, I, too, will hold her entirely responsible for it. However, I have no control over whoever Emmy Boutique holds accountable in the end.”

The moment the words rolled off his tongue, the entire board froze.

Wait, why did he agree so readily that she fired her on the spot? Didn’t he groom her himself?

They were expecting Artemis to stand up for her and try his best to preserve her position.

Unexpectedly, he had readily agreed to their demands.

What’s going on?

Ignoring them, Artemis walked up to Bailey. With cocked brows and a smile on his face, he said, “Bailey, you’re fired.”

The vibrant smile on Bailey’s face deepened further. “Are you sure you want to fire me? Aren’t you worried that I destroy Luther Group? Mr. Luther, you’re well aware of how vengeful I am. After being kicked out of Luther Group today, I’ll return the favor tenfold tomorrow.”

As a warm glint flashed in Artemis’ eyes, he looked at her with a gaze so gentle it could melt anytime. “It’s the board that has forced you to leave Luther Group today, so please make sure you exact your revenge on the right people.”

At that moment, Bailey was awed by how charming Artemis was.

Despite being cognizant of her agenda, he still played along with her act without any hesitation. A dominant man is indeed extremely charming.

“Fine. From now on, Luther Group and I have severed all ties. Initially, I had planned to help the company overcome this crisis. But since you don’t trust me and insist on kicking me out, don’t even think I’m going to come back easily.”

With that, she swung her sling bag over her shoulders before swaggering out the door in her stilettos.

Watching her proud silhouette leave, the arrogant Alistair sniggered. “Hmph! She really doesn’t know any better. We chased her out today. Does she really think we’ll beg her to come back?”

“Oh well, that’s because of how capable she is. Not only is she the famous designer, Snowflake, but she’s also the famous doctor, Anonymous. Given the heights she has soared to at such a young age, it ended up inflating her ego.”

“She had better pray that she doesn’t make a mistake. Or else, she will be devastated when she falls from such heights.”

Dwayne, who was standing by the side, was stunned by what had unfolded before him.

What’s going on? Isn’t Mr. Luther supposed to stand up for Bailey? Why did he fire her without hesitation after hearing the board’s suggestion? Can someone f*cking explain to me what just happened?

It was not until he left the conference room and entered the CEO’s private elevator did he get the burning question off his chest.

“Mr. Luther, why did you kick Bailey out of Luther Group? Both of us know very well what happened. Someone she has offended has framed her, so how can we lay the blame on her?”

Putting one of his hands into the pocket, Artemis leaned against the elevator wall languidly.

Instead of answering the question, he threw out a stranger one. “What kind of person do you think the boss of Emmy Boutique is? Why does she have such an extraordinary talent for business? I spent seven years becoming the fifth richest man in the world, and that was with the backing of Luther

Group’s wealth. However, she started from nothing, so how did she manage to grow Emmy Boutique into one of the largest brands in the world?”

Dwayne was stunned.

After giving the matter some thought, he widened his eyes when something suddenly struck him.

“No, it can’t be. Mr. Luther, are you saying the mysterious boss of Emmy Boutique is… is…”

With an indifferent expression, Artemis gave Dwayne the side eye. “Watch your mouth. Be mindful when you speak of this to others.”

What the hell!
