Chapter 1082 Were You Amazed By Me Today
With a swift motion, Melanie snatched the coffee cup from the bedside table and forcefully hurled it
onto the floor, causing shards of glass to scatter all over the room.
Karina entered the room with a mysterious smile on her face.
It seemed like fate was on her side. Melanie's opposition to Bailey would divert his attention.
From a young age, Melanie understood the importance of completing any task she started.
Although Sylvester seemed to have let go of Rainie and had no intention of bothering her anymore,
emotions were unpredictable.
Perhaps one day, they might run into each other on the street and rekindle their old flame.
To avoid any unforeseen problems, it was best to address the issue early on.
Even if she couldn't harm Rainie physically, she would still ruin her to the point of no return.
Since Bailey was now protecting Rainie, Melanie couldn't make a move. However, if she could occupy
Bailey's attention, he would be distracted from protecting Rainie. Maybe then, she could find an
opportunity to strike.
"Melanie, don't be upset. You know how Aunt Krista is, always seeking power and control. Ever since
her divorce, she's been alone. After struggling for many years, she finally established herself in the
Strasson family. Since Yulissa is her only daughter, she naturally supports her wholeheartedly. If you
don't want the Strasson family's power to fall into the wrong hands, you need to gather yourself. Uncle
Derrick is still here, so Aunt Krista won't be able to cause any trouble for now. All you need to do is
fulfill your father's wishes and reclaim the title of the World's Best Embroiderer. Surely, Uncle Derrick
wouldn't abandon you to support a stranger as the head of the family."
Melanie's forehead veins bulged as she angrily shouted at the door, "Who does she think she is, trying
to steal my position as the heir? Damn it! As a woman who can't even control her own husband and
helplessly watches as a mistress causes a scene at her doorstep, what right does she have to meddle
in the Strasson family's affairs? Don't forget, once a daughter is married, she becomes part of another
family."
After venting her frustration, Melanie gradually calmed down.
"You're right," she said. "The most important thing right now is to take advantage of my father's good
health. That old hag can't cause any trouble for now. We must hurry and reclaim the title of The Best
Embroiderer from the Yrina family. Once I achieve great success, my father will surely see me in a new
light. He can't just give away the inheritance to a stranger, benefiting someone outside our family."
Karina's eyes sparkled with a deeper smile as she warmly said, "All that matters is that you understand
this, Melanie. Right now, Bailey is our common enemy. Rest assured, I will support you."
"Bailey..." Melanie clenched her fists slowly, grinding her teeth audibly.
She embarrassed me in front of so many people, and she still expects her wedding to go smoothly? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Not while I'm around! Even if I don't kill her, I'll make sure to ruin her completely.
Late at night at the Shurmer residence, Bailey was in her room, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling
window, engaged in a video call.
"Artemis, I've made up my mind. I will personally design my own wedding gown and your suit as well."
On the laptop screen, Artemis' handsome and smiling face appeared.
"Thank you, but don't overexert yourself. Take good care of your health. You still want to have a child,
don't you? If your health isn't good, how can you expect to conceive?"
Upon hearing the word 'child,' Bailey instinctively reached out to touch her stomach.
She was already pregnant.
She didn't want to inform him over the phone; she wanted to tell him in person.
"After everything is settled here at home, I plan to visit Zaewora. Anyway, Mr. Luther, I have some good
news to share with you. You'll be thrilled to hear it."
Artemis' smile faded slightly. He narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, "It's dangerous here. I
almost fell into a trap. You should stay in Hallsbay and focus on designing your wedding dress and
preparing for our wedding. It's a significant event for both of us. We can't rely on our families for
everything."
Bailey didn't expect him to agree either.
She decided to take action first and inform him later. Once she arrived in Zaewora, there would be no
way Artemis could turn her away.
"Alright, forget what I said. So, did I impress you today?"
Artemis flashed a smile. "Darling, I'm amazed by you every day. Don't doubt your own charm, I—"
Suddenly, a charming feminine voice interrupted, "Artemis, I have the latest news about Black Panther.
Would you like to hear it?"
The room door swung open, causing a commotion.
Bailey squinted her eyes.
Before she could react, Artemis hastily said, "I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'll hang up now.
I'll call you when I have some free time."
He ended the call decisively.
Bailey looked at the laptop, which had returned to the home screen, and couldn't help but laugh out of
frustration.
It seems that Rebecca holds a significant place in Artemis' heart. I hope he doesn't have any hidden
history with her, or else he's in trouble.
After staring at the computer for a moment, she composed herself, turned around, and left the room.
Rainie lived next door. When Bailey opened the door, she saw Rainie staring blankly at her phone, her
face pale.
"Rainie, what's wrong?"
Rainie remained silent, trembling violently.
Bailey swiftly walked over to the bed and took Rainie's phone from her hands.
As she read the screen, her expression darkened.
There was a lot of news online, all about Rainie, the Oscar-winning actress:
Sensational! Mr. Hollett introduces famous actress Rainie Yeanisky to his family. Unable to control her
desires, Rainie sleeps with Mr. Hollett's elder cousin, defying societal norms and sharing a passionate
moment.
Shocking! Tragically betrayed, Mr. Hollett disfigures Rainie and banishes her to a sordid path in a
nightclub.
Hot news! After a month, Rainie, carrying an illegitimate child, foolishly hoped to cling to Mr. Hollett.
Enraged, Mr. Hollett struck her abdomen, resulting in her miscarriage. The outcome was tragic.
Several trending topics exposed the unbearable pain and shame deeply rooted in Rainie's heart, laying
it bare for all to witness. It felt as if she had been stripped naked in broad daylight, with nowhere to
seek refuge.
Prior to this, Rainie had only suffered humiliation in front of Sylvester and his family.
Now that the incident had been exposed, she was completely shattered, with no hope of recovery.
"Don't worry, I'll immediately contact my cousin and ask him to help suppress the news. You know, LG
Corporation controls two-thirds of the global media market. When they take action, they can certainly
control the rampant spread of rumors."
After finishing her statement, she took out her phone and began searching for Lionel's number.
Rainie gave a wry smile as she firmly held onto Bailey's arm. Shaking her head, she said, "Don't
bother. It's too late now. There's nothing left to salvage.
"Considering the sins I've committed, it's only fair that I face the consequences. What's being reported
outside is all true, and I have no right to stop it. Let it be."
After speaking, she appeared as if all the strength had drained from her body. She lay down stiffly,
slowly closing her eyes, and remained motionless as if she were lifeless.
Bailey was about to console her when Zeke's voice suddenly came from outside. "Bay, Mr. Hollett is
here. He wants to see Rainie."
