Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 321

She did not want to end up being down and out.

“I-Is it really that serious?”

Raiden stared at her coldly. “The country sent me to be in charge of this. Do you think this is serious?

You tell me.”

Scarlett's face paled, and she immediately thought of quitting halfway.

However, when she looked at Bailey's amused expression, she gritted her teeth in resentment.

Do I want to give up on this golden opportunity? If Bailey wins this competition, doesn't that mean

everything I've done will be in vain? How can I swallow this anger?

A touch of mischief flitted across Bailey's face, and an evil smirk played on her lips. “Whoever

mastered the 5G technology will have the right to speak. Ms. Fletcher, you have to do well in my stead

in the competition. If you lose, it will be a huge problem for the Fletcher family.”

“You...”

Scarlett glared at her. She felt defeated as she knew nothing about technology.

However, protecting her family was more important than making Bailey go to jail.

“You're really capable, Ms. Jefferson. First, you developed an anti-cancer medication, then there's the

source code for 5G internet. You're a rare talent. Since you're representing the country in this

competition, I'll let you off the hook. You better hope you don't fall into my hands again, or else there

won't be any good consequences.”

With that, she stomped her feet on the ground and ran out of the office.

Raiden greeted Bailey, then ran after Scarlett.

Artemis arched a brow at the people from the Department of Justice and asked curiously, “What are

you still doing here? Are you planning to have lunch here?”

The person in charge bowed and replied, “Pardon the intrusion.” Then, he quickly left with his

subordinates.

After everyone left, the office fell silent.

Artemis glanced at Bailey icily. “How many women have you offended?”

Bailey chuckled softly. “I have you on my side even if the whole world is against me, no?”

Artemis' expression brightened up. He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her. “That's right. I like

hearing these words.”

The rumors of Lionel from LG Corporation having a son spread like a wildfire and eventually, they

became twisted.

Many people guessed that he was Lionel's illegitimate child; otherwise, Lionel would not have hidden

him from the public eye for seven years.

Wendy bawled her eyes out in front of Lionel when she heard about the rumor.

Lionel had no choice but to convene a press conference to announce to the public that the child was

his wife's and that it was a baseless accusation that his son was an illegitimate child.

After the party concerned stepped forward and clarified the situation, the rumors finally died down

slightly.

In a mansion near the sea, Victoria was sitting on a swing chair and staring at the boundless sea in the

distance.

She had been staying here for almost a week. Since that incident at the office in Saunders Group,

Lionel had arranged for her to live at this mansion.

It was not the condominium he had prepared specifically for her. He said that the woman in his heart

had died, so Victoria did not deserve to live there.

Right then, footsteps sounded from behind, and the swing chair began swinging gently.

Lionel looked down at her and asked flatly, “Are you comfortable living here?”

Victoria chuckled. There was no warmth in her expression, but a tint of melancholy in her eyes.

“It's just a place to sleep. Anywhere is the same.”

The conversation was dead.

There was an eerie silence.

After ten minutes, Victoria piped up, “I have heard about the rumors. The whole world now knows that

you have a wife and child. If that's the case, do you still want to keep me as a mistress and ruin the

marriage with your wife?” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Lionel snorted and pulled her up. He raised her chin and mocked, “Why? Are you scared? Are you

afraid that the world will know that you're with a married man and that they will call you a homewrecker

and a mistress?”

Victoria's lips twitched as if she was smiling. However, sadness was evident on her face.

“When they said you were inhumane for being with your stepmother, you must have been very scared,

right?”

Lionel shuddered, and his gaze darkened.

This damned woman! How dare she bring up this incident?

It was the biggest wound in his heart and a taboo subject for him.

Even he himself did not dare to talk about it.

“You're asking for death.”

He wrapped his hands around her neck so hard that the veins on his arms bulged.

There was hostility in his eyes, and he looked as if he would swallow her whole.

Victoria did not struggle and let the air in her lungs escape. She felt breathless and wanted to give up

on her life.

Lionel noticed her intention.

Her reaction was the tiny spark that set him off completely.

He had lost all reason, composure, and control.

“Victoria, let's go to hell together.”

Lionel pushed her and pinned her down on the swing chair.

He was fast and brutal.

He did not kiss her or soothe her. He was ruthless.

Victoria felt an excruciating pain pierce through her whole body.

Her face was instantly drained of all colors.

She wanted to retaliate and escape, but the man was simply too strong.

There was nowhere for her to run.

Blood seeped out of the gaps of the swing chair and dripped onto the marble floor, creating beautiful

patterns.

There were white clouds in the sky, and they could hear the sea breeze blowing from a distance away.

Victoria gave up struggling and slowly extended her hand as if trying to touch the clouds in the sky.

Tears rolled down her face.

I can't escape!

They were star-crossed lovers who could not escape each other's love and hatred.

At the coffee shop on the second floor of Century Square, Scarlett narrowed her eyes at the young

woman in front of her and said, “We aren't close, are we, Ms. Shurmer?”

Zoey smiled. “We're indeed not close. But your good friend, Shirley, is about to become my sister-in-

law. Shouldn't we try to get close to each other?”

Scarlett waved her hand impatiently.

Although she did not feel a sense of superiority over Zoey, she did not want to lose to her in terms of

temperament.

“Let's stop with the pleasantries. I have no time for that. Just tell me why you ask me out.”

Zoey immediately got to the point and asked, “Do you want Bailey to die?”

Scarlett was stunned. However, she thought about it and instantly understood Zoey's intentions.

If there was anyone who wanted Bailey dead, Zoey would definitely be the first.

It was all because of Artemis who caused Zoey to become so irrational.

When a woman became irrational, they were worse than a lunatic.

“You want to work together with me? Is that why you asked me out?”

Zoey smiled. “It's easy to talk to smart people. That's right. I'm here as an ally. The person who

connected you with me is none other than your best friend, Shirley.”

“That's interesting.” Scarlett straightened her body. “Do you know any way to deal with Bailey?”
