Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060 Mad

With that, she slowly reached out and gripped the trigger. With just a slight squeeze, a bullet could be fired from the dark muzzle of the gun.

Mason was so frightened that his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, his teeth chattering non-stop. With a trembling voice, he said, “I-I'll t-talk, Ms. Jefferson... No! I meant to say Mrs. Luther. Mrs. Luther, I'll tell you everything. Just please put the gun down first.”

Bailey looked at him coldly, slightly lifting her chin to show him a warning look.

Mason didn't dare to push his luck any further, his eyes unblinkingly fixed on Bailey, terrified that she might accidentally pull the trigger.

“That night, I was also drunk, oblivious to what had transpired. All I knew was when I woke up, Rainie was in my room, lying in my arms. She was covered in marks, there was blood on the quilt, and my umm... Well, there was... So, they concluded that we were together,” Mason said.

His words were somewhat vague, but Bailey naturally understood his meaning as an adult.

With all the evidence present, it was no wonder everyone, including Mason and Rainie, believed that something had happened between them.

“Do you not know whether or not you touched a woman that day?” she questioned.

Mason lowered his head, continuously running his hands through his hair.

That night, he had drunk too much, and his memory was hazy. He vaguely remembered being with a woman. When he woke up and found Rainie in his arms, he instinctively assumed it was her.

“I do. Even though I was drunk, I still had some awareness. I think I must have encountered a woman that day,” he answered.

Bailey's pupils slightly contracted. If that was the case, then Rainie was not being schemed against, not being wronged. Yet, I always felt there was something fishy about this. It just didn't seem right. It really didn't. How could Rainie possibly be with any other man when she loves Sylvester so much? If it were me, even if I were drunk as a skunk, I wouldn't let any man other than Artemis have any contact with me. The instincts of humans can sometimes be truly peculiar, beyond the realm of verbal explanation, and only personally experienced.

“M-Mrs. Luther, everything I've told you is the truth. But please don't misunderstand. I've never intentionally approached Rainie. Even though I covet her too, after all, she is an Oscar-winning actress with a sweet appearance, the goddess of countless men. It's only natural to harbor feelings for her. However, I can swear that I've never harbored any inappropriate thoughts toward her. After that night, when such rumors started circulating, not only did I not feel the slightest bit of joy, but I was also filled with fear and dread, because I was worried that Sylvester would kill me,” Mason uttered.

Bailey slowly backed away, leaning against the wall in a somewhat dejected manner. After tucking away her pistol, she gently rubbed her brows with her fingers. What am I supposed to do next? If Rainie was with Mason that night, then her relationship with Sylvester would be dead. But on the other hand, if that night was indeed orchestrated by someone, they would surely make everything seamless and flawless. The details that Mason mentioned earlier are not surprising. A plot, after all, must be made convincing, so that outsiders will believe it without a doubt, including the parties involved themselves.

“What happened when you went to Lunar Bar in the morning?” she asked.

Mason looked at her somewhat timidly, afraid that she might settle accounts with him again, so he didn't dare to speak up.

“Speak!” Bailey's patience had run out, and she snapped at him.

Mason didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly said, “Some of my branch companies were in trouble. I wanted to ask Sylvester for help, so I went to find him early in the morning. Turns out, after entering the penthouse suite at Lunar Bar, I saw him and Karina inside. I suspect the two of them must have spent the night together.”

Bailey knitted her brows, a flash of anger flickering in her eyes. Sylvester... That jerk! What a beast!

“Why did you bring Rainie along when you went to find Sylvester?” she questioned.

Mason's eyes were somewhat evasive when he stammered, “Well... I... She...”

Without giving him a chance to trick her, Bailey once again pulled out her gun.

Seeing her cold expression and murderous intent in her eyes, Mason didn't dare to beat around the bush anymore. He quickly said, “It was Karina. She called me, asking me to take Rainie to Lunar Bar. I didn't know what she was up to. She didn't tell me. So, I came up with an excuse, saying that I wanted to ask Sylvester for help. That was how I got her to go there with me.”
