Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 307

“Huh?” Rainie gave her a dubious look and uttered, “What did you say, Ms. Jefferson? I didn't hear you

clearly.”

Bailey smiled and responded with another question. “Do you really want the Best Actress award at the

Oscars so badly? In my opinion, you shouldn't be too persistent because it's rather superficial. I've

gotten countless awards in recent years, but I've never gone up the stage to receive them. That's

because I think these things are just for show, and there they shouldn't dictate your life.”

“You're rather open-minded, Ms. Jefferson!” Rainie couldn't help but exclaim. After a brief pause, she

added, “Frankly, I'm not fazed by getting the Best Actress award at the Oscars. However, Cosmos

Studios announced that the Best Actress this year will be given the lead role in “Time Warp.” I'm a huge

fan of Morpheus's works. If I acted in a character of hers, it would be a dream come true.”

“Oh? Morpheus...” Bailey dragged her word and smiled. “I can't help you with anything else but that. All

right, then. I'll keep it in mind.”

“What?” Rainie stared at her in shock. “What do you mean, Ms. Jefferson?”

“It's nothing.” Bailey raised her glass and clinked it against Rainie's. She then arched a brow and said,

“Fate has brought us together. In that case, I shall make you my friend. From now on, I'll address you

as Rainie, and you shall address me as Bailey.”

Bailey's words rendered Rainie speechless.

On the other side of the square, Susan was seen sprawling on the table and munching on fruits.

Her manager's eyes were twitching as he watched from the side. “Susan, is eating really your priority

right now? Answer me this, okay? Did you ask Mr. Simon to talk to Mr. Luther so that he would give you

the Best Child Actor Award?”

With a mouthful of fruits, Susan blurted, “Simon didn't even want to acknowledge me. That jerk threw

some money at us and told us to get out of his face. Do you think he would still care about me?”

The manager was taken aback, and he looked slightly helpless. I thought she would definitely get

whatever she wanted in her career after acknowledging Mr. Simon as her father. Heck, I thought she

could get the Best Child Actor Award! However, who would've thought that Mr. Simon would ignore

her?

“Susan, why don't we look for your uncle? After all, he's the owner of Luther Group, the biggest

sponsor of the Oscars. You're his niece, no? I bet he'll give you the Best Child Actor Award,” the

manager said.

Susan rolled her eyes at him and answered in a helpless tone. “If my dad doesn't even care if I live or

die, what makes you think Uncle Artemis will help me?”

Suddenly, a little girl dressed in a princess gown, accompanied by a few child celebrities, approached

them.

One of them couldn't help but mock, “Susan, it seems you have a shred of self-awareness. Arethea

had gotten her Uncle Zeke to help her out this time around. The people at the Oscars already promised

her the Best Child Actor Award.”

“Did you think you could climb the ladder by associating yourself with the Luther family? You're merely

an illegitimate child! The Luther family doesn't intend to acknowledge you. Otherwise, why would your

dad pay you guys off? Susan, you're a joke! You've even said Mr. Luther had moved the Oscars to

Hallsbay because of you, right? Is that so? Who do you think you are? Why would the head of the

Luther family spend that kind of money on an illegitimate child like you?” another mocked.

“That's enough. Guys, stop making fun of Susan,” Arethea interrupted.

With a smile, she walked up to Susan and said, “Susan, there's no need to go beyond your depth. We

all know about your family background. As an illegitimate child, you should keep a low profile from now

on.”

A glimmer of viciousness glinted in Susan's eyes because she was triggered by being called an

illegitimate child.

Upon hearing those words, she was devastated, and she was on the verge of crying.

All of a sudden, she picked up the fruit platter and threw it at Arethea and the rest. Right after that, she

jumped off the stool she was sitting on and dashed toward them.

Instantly, the whole place broke into chaos.

Seeing that, the manager quickly chased after her. “You rascal! Stop right there! Don't run away now

that you've caused a mess! I'm going to teach you a lesson!”

Susan ran straight into the lounge area.

There, she saw Ken standing in the dark and started crying inconsolably.

Ken was stunned. He hurriedly went to her and hugged her while asking, “What's wrong? What

happened? Who bullied you?”

In response, Susan kept mum and cried even harder.

Exasperated, Ken turned around and barged into the lounge.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, Artemis was having a conversation with the executives of the Oscars. He was enraged

when he saw Ken barging into the lounge. Right when he was about to scold Ken, he saw Susan

sobbing and trembling all over. He then immediately got up from the couch and strode over to Ken.

“Why is she crying?”

As clueless as Artemis was, Ken handed Susan over to Artemis and turned toward the executives of

the Oscars. “Gentlemen, Mr. Luther has some private matters to attend to. Do you mind giving him

some privacy?”

One of the executives immediately answered, “The grand ceremony is about to begin, so we have to

make some arrangements. Let's not bother Mr. Luther any longer. We'll treat Mr. Luther to a meal after

the event.”

With that, the executives left the lounge in a hurry.

Artemis was rooted to the spot, and he was heartbroken when he saw how hard his daughter was

crying.

He thought he was strong and impenetrable. However, he couldn't stop trembling when he saw his

daughter crying her eyes out.

“What is it, Sweetheart? Tell me, okay?” Artemis asked cautiously. He was suppressing his anger

because he didn't want to startle Susan.

The little girl stared at him with her watery eyes and asked in a sad tone, “Am I a disgraceful illegitimate

child?”

Artemis' face went pale as a look of utter despair flashed across his eyes.

His chest was heaving, and he seemed to be doing his best to suppress his rage. Who did this? Who

said that to her and upset her?

With those questions in his mind, Artemis raised his gaze and shot Ken a look.

The latter acknowledged it right away and retreated. Someone's going to be in huge trouble tonight!

“Am I a disgraceful illegitimate child?” Susan repeated before breaking down in tears.

Seeing how things had played out, Artemis began to panic. I could go through raging gunfights and

battles. Yet, the sight of my daughter crying is enough to make me panic!

“I'll just marry your mommy right away, okay? Once I've done that, no one would call you an illegitimate

child anymore. Stop crying, Susan. I can't take it anymore,” Artemis uttered.

Right then, the door to the lounge was pushed open once again.

Maxton and Zayron walked in and saw their sister crying inconsolably in their father's arms. They

exchanged glances and scolded in unison, “Jerk.”
