Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1065

Chapter 1065 Getting Married

Inside the penthouse suite of a five-star hotel, Karina had prepared a table full of dishes, but as the sky turned completely dark, Sylvester had yet to return.

She casually picked up the phone from the coffee table, ready to give him a call.

Just as it was unlocked, a number suddenly popped up on the screen.

It was a call from her mother, Isabelle Strasson.

“Hey, Mom. What's up? Why are you looking for me?” Karina asked.

Isabelle laughed and teased, “Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong? I heard that you and Sylvester have already... Has he proposed to you yet?”

Karina remained silent.

She didn't want to discuss the topic.

Everything that happened the night before was all part of her meticulous plan.

They didn't just happen to get together.

Every time someone brought it up, she felt an immense mockery, as if they were slapping her face repeatedly.

A dream, as splendid as it was hollow, where everyone was intoxicated, but she alone was sober, fully aware of how ludicrous it all was.

Isabelle knew her daughter well. Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Isabelle didn't press further and changed the subject. “How are things going between you and Bailey?”

Karina still remained silent.

She also didn't want to discuss that topic.

In Bailey's view, she was not worthy to be her friend. So, no matter how hard she tried, she could only meet Bailey's cold indifference.

She was the daughter of the Smith family, the most prominent family in South East Aploth. Wherever she went, she was treated like a star. Yet, for some reason, she just couldn't get along with Bailey.

She thought Bailey didn't want to befriend her, so she figured she also wouldn't want to befriend Bailey. What's with Bailey's attitude?

Upon seeing that Karina still remained silent, Isabelle belatedly realized that she had once again asked a question that annoyed her daughter.

However, this time around, she didn't give up and continued, “Your granny called me, saying that whether Strassonian embroidery can gain international fame or not, it all depends on Bailey now. Karrie, you must not act recklessly. You must get along well with Bailey. We need her to support the Strasson family and suppress the Yrina family. Just the Smith family alone is not enough to put your mind completely at ease. If the Strasson family rises, it will be your greatest support in securing your position in the Hollett family. Do you understand?”

Karina took a deep breath and told Isabelle about her arrangement with Bailey and Rainie.

“Mom, Rainie has taken the initiative and gained Bailey's trust. How can I turn the situation around?” Karina asked.

Isabelle gritted her teeth fiercely, anger seeping through her words when she said, “It's Rainie again! First, he stole my ideal son-in-law, and now he's ruining my plans. He really deserves to die! People still don't know about the despicable things she did over a month ago, right? If word gets out, do you think she'll still be able to hold her ground in Hallsbay?”

Karina guessed what her mother planned to do and quickly said, “No. If that gets out, my image as the first crush in Sylvester's heart will be ruined in an instant.”

Isabelle scoffed. “Of course, I'm not foolish enough to do that myself. Rest assured, leave this matter to me. All you need to do is wait for that Oscar-winning actress to fall from grace.”

Naturally, Karina didn't want to miss the golden opportunity to tarnish Rainie's reputation forever. She also believed that her mother would never leave any loose ends when handling matters.

“All right. Be careful, then. Make sure you don't leave any traces behind,” Karina advised.

“Okay. You should also think of ways to get closer to Bailey. Let her lend a hand to the Strasson family. Once the Strasson family rises, it will be all benefits and no harm to you.”

“All right.”

Just after hanging up the phone, a sudden noise came from the entrance hall.

She instinctively looked toward the door, seeing Sylvester changing his shoes.

When he lifted his gaze, their eyes met.
