Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053 The Hollett Family Has No Place For Her

The only thing Rainie regretted was not making the decision to terminate the pregnancy earlier.

With Mason knocking on her door and relentlessly kicking up a fuss right then, her reputation aside, she would be at fault if the Shurmer family's reputation were tarnished.

Bailey swiftly turned around. Staring at her through narrowed eyes, she reassured, “With me here, you don't have to fear him. Others would discern the truth of the matter and grant you justice.”

Smiling bitterly, Rainie shook her head, her face lined with sorrow. “Only those wrongly accused have the right to hope for justice. But I'm not wrongly accused. That night, I was drunk and made a mistake. I should bear the corresponding consequences.”

After she had said that, she walked up to Bailey and added in a lowered voice, “I know why you've been stalling me from having an abortion, Bay. But just now, Mason voluntarily proposed a paternity test, proving he has nothing to hide. The child I'm carrying belongs to him. In that case, how could I have the audacity to seek justice and an explanation? Don't worry about me. We'll let nature take its course.”

“But—”

“Bay, I don't want my reputation to be completely ruined. Please grant me this favor.”

Bailey clenched her fists, seething with anger.

If I had known this would have happened, I would have helped her perform an abortion a few days ago. Then, she wouldn't be at the mercy of this jerk, Mason!

“Think it through, Rainie. Once you leave with him, there won't be any possibility left for you and Sylvester.”

Rainie gave a wry smile. “I know.”

Having said that, she walked toward Mason, one step at a time.

At that precise moment, the sound of a car's wheels screeching in the distance drifted into their ears.

On Lemming Boulevard outside, several black sedans sped over.

As a car door swung open, Sylvester climbed out, wearing sunglasses.

At the sight of the tall and slender, Rainie felt a deep, throbbing pain within her.

After more than a month apart, he still exuded the same noble elegance.

Conversely, she was in a pathetic state. Forced to be the lover of the son of a rich family, she was also carrying an illegitimate child, only fit to be in the shadows.

Mason whistled, his smile sinister. “Well, if it isn't my dear cousin. What brings you here? Did you hear I'm here to take my woman and child back, so you rushed over to back me up?”

Sylvester ignored him and didn't even spare Rainie a glance. He walked right up to Bailey, inclined his head, and asked, “Bailey, did Karrie come over to visit the Shurmer family?”

Bailey chose to ignore him, treating him as if he were invisible.

With a smile, Mason interjected, “Ah, you're here to pick my future cousin-in-law up. Then, I won't bother you anymore. I'll be leaving first.”

After he had finished speaking, he grabbed Rainie by the arm and roughly dragged her toward the car.

As he did so, he even insulted her with vicious remarks.

“All right, stop playing the victim here. When you acted the sl*t and climbed into my bed, you should have known this day would come. My cousin is the future head of the Hollett family. You're not worthy of him, so you've resorted to this pitiful act to seduce him. How disgusting. You should just obediently come with me and dutifully stay by my side to serve me. This is your good fortune. Also, if you prove capable and give me a son, I might even consider marrying you.”

Rainie pursed her lips tightly and kept her eyes open wide, stubbornly refusing to allow her tears to fall.

Sylvester's gaze was fixed on the couple's retreating figures, his handsome face shrouded in a cloud of gloom, the tension palpable.

As he watched Mason slip into the car while pulling Rainie along, he stated in a cold and detached voice, “The Hollett family has no place for a legitimate wife like her. You can have her bear your child, but you can't marry her. She's only fit to be a lover, kept in the shadows.”

She's only fit to be a lover, kept in the shadows.
