Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 24

Bailey was in a dangerous position.

“Answer me. Are you the designer that Luther Group invited over?”

Bailey coughed lightly and replied, “I am. You made an appointment with me before, but you were busy with your schedule. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I declined your invitation. I'm sorry.”

Artemis lifted the corners of his thin lips to form a wry smile as a bitter sensation surfaced in his heart.

Although we're adults who can be responsible for our actions, you shouldn't forget about your identity. As long as Rhonda still

words “sister-in-law” and “brother-in-law” made Artemis' face darken and he glared at her fiercely. He then gritted his teeth and said, “Your sister drugged me just now and ran away. It seems normal for you, the elder sister, to
