Female Novel
Chapter 472
How could she disregard her status and slap me in front of everyone?
“M-Mrs. Luther, I was simply helping you to teach that bastard child, Bailey, a lesson. Why did you hitme?”
Felicity's gaze turned cold. Her sharp gaze swept across the room, and she growled, “Whose family isthis brat from? Take her away now and discipline her properly! What? Do you want me to discipline herin front of everyone?”
Just then, a middle-aged woman squeezed herself out of the crowd.
She rushed over to the young woman and gave her two fierce slaps on her arm. “You stupid girl! Whoasked you to be so disrespectful toward Mrs. Luther? Do you have a death wish?”
A flabbergasted look appeared on the young woman's face. With a trembling voice, she said, “Didn'tyou ask me to—”
“Shut your mouth!” The middle-aged woman threw a fierce glare at her daughter before hurriedlyexplaining with a smile, “Mrs. Luther, my daughter is just a naive girl. Please forgive my ignorantdaughter for causing you trouble.”
Felicity gave her the cold shoulder. With her icy gaze surveying the room, she announced in a deepvoice, “I don't care about Bailey's background or how terrible her reputation is. She will soon becomethe daughter-in-law of the Luther family, and this means that she's a member of the Luther family.Anyone who humiliates her is equivalent to humiliating the Luther family. I won't let anyone whothreatens the benefits of our family off the hook.”
No one dared to question her after her words fell, for she was well respected in upper-class society.
The crowd exchanged glances with each other. They all thought this was a dramatic turn of events.
Felicity used to be enraged whenever Artemis defended Bailey. Logically, she should be extremelydissatisfied with the woman. However, now that Artemis had made the decision to kick Bailey out of theLuther family and find a new lover, not only is Felicity not holding a party to celebrate the occasion, butshe's adamantly defending Bailey in front of everyone from the upper-class society.
The crowd was perplexed by Felicity's sudden change in attitude.
Bailey glanced at Felicity with a look of amusement, and her eyes flashed with a touch of appreciation.
Although Mrs. Luther is a little difficult, she will undoubtedly take my side once I gain heracknowledgment. After all, the same applies to Rhonda back then. She forgave Rhonda no matter howmany mistakes she had made. She even taught Rhonda how to catch Artemis' attention. Even thoughshe was completely let down when Rhonda's utterly despicable wrongdoings came to light, she stilldidn't make things difficult for the latter. Hence, Mrs. Luther is actually a good person but with a toughcharacter.
Bailey uttered, “I'm used to it. You shouldn't have stood up for me. I can't afford to tarnish your long-established reputation.”
Felicity whipped her head around to throw a glare in Bailey's direction. “That's fine too. But you have topromise me not to marry my son first.”
Uh...
Freya chuckled. “Bay, your mother-in-law's temperament has always been like this. You should bemore considerate since she's your elder. Since you're fine now, why don't you come and have a walkwith us?”
Some distance away, a group of business tycoons led by Artemis, Edmund, and Zeke toured themuseum's treasures in the hall while accompanied by the museum executives.
Hidden in the crowd in the southwestern corner of the museum, Yvette was silently observing the good-looking and talented young men who were being surrounded by a group of people.
She could only see their backs from her line of sight, and she recognized none of them.
That was until her gaze fell on the broad, tall figure in the very front. Yvette grew excited.
It's him! He must be that godly man I saw in the garden and remember vividly. His back matches theone in my memory perfectly. Who is he?
Yvette subconsciously waved at a waiter, signaling for him to come over. With a low voice, she asked,“Who's that young man walking at the very front?” novelbin
The waiter looked in the direction of her finger. “Are you talking about the person in the brown suit?”
“That's right!”
The waiter noticed her excitement and the uncontrollable joy in her eyes. He instantly understood thatYvette was interested in Artemis. He could not help but chuckle. “You have a good eye, miss. The manyou picked out is the noblest bachelor in Hallsbay.”
Yvette gripped the hem of her dress. He's the noblest bachelor in Hallsbay? It seems that Tarragon'sleader possesses an important position in the outside world as well. My taste is indeed impeccable tohave picked the most outstanding man out of everyone.
“Can you tell me who he is?”
“He's Artemis Luther, the head of the most prestigious family of Aploth, the Luther family.”
When Yvette heard his name, she could not help but shiver.
“A-Artemis? Is he the one who holds the lead position of Luther Group, which is ranked the top fiverichest internationally?
“That's right. It's him.”
Yvette felt exhilarated as if she had hit the jackpot.
Before, it was impossible for her to covet the leader of Tarragon, much less the decision-maker of themost prominent family in Aploth.
How can I not be shocked upon learning that they are one and the same? It's exhilarating enough toimagine myself becoming the lady of Tarragon and the Luther family.
