Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1068

Chapter 1068 Do You Want Me to Pull Strings For You

Um...

Bailey scratched her nose gently.

Fine. I do have an ulterior motive. If Cameron were to go to Zaewora, Artemis's safety would be more secure.

Even though Artemis was poisoned by Soul Reaper and was now immune to all poisons, his subordinates were still ordinary humans.

If Black Puma were to target his subordinates for poisoning, it would end up becoming a significant problem.

However, it would be a different story if Cameron were to go there. As an expert in all kinds of toxins, he was extremely capable when it came to protecting Artemis.

“Um, fine. I admit that I have an agenda. Instead of aimlessly searching, wouldn't it be better to resort to some unconventional methods? In the vast sea of humanity, perhaps one day you will find Blaze. It could take a year or even longer, like three to five years. I feel this is such a waste of time. Instead of searching aimlessly, you might as well—”

“Enough,” Cameron interrupted her impatiently. “I'm leaving for Zaewora first thing tomorrow. You can save your breath.”

Looking at the mobile screen that was showing the cut-off video call, Bailey silently smiled.

Cameron is not a sinful man. May the heavens treat him kindly. He couldn't find the love he desired from me, so I hope that he can find it with Blaze instead.

When a commotion echoed from the direction of the main house, she instinctively looked up.

As shadows crisscrossed, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Karina? Why is she here?

When she saw a housekeeper moving about in the yard, she lowered her head and asked, “Do we have guests at home?”

The housekeeper respectfully said, “Ms. Melanie Strasson, the daughter of the Strasson family known for their embroidery, has come to visit Mrs. Shurmer. Mrs. Shurmer is personally receiving her.”

The daughter of the Strasson family, Melanie Strasson?

She had heard of the name before. The Shurmer family doesn't have much dealings with the Strasson family, so why is Mother lowering herself to meet with someone as junior as Melanie?

“Has this Melanie visited the Shurmer family before?”

The maid pondered for a moment, then shook her head, saying, “No. I've been with the Shurmer family for three years, and I've never seen Ms. Melanie come for a visit. However, I've heard that the gowns Mrs. Shurmer has been wearing in recent years were all tailored by Strassonian embroiderers. She's quite fond of their embroidery work.”

Bailey gave a cold, mocking smile.

So when they failed to win me over, they decided to switch tactics by cozying up to my mother instead. Do they really think that by pleasing my mother, they can turn the situation around? They're just too naive.

Inside the main house's living room, Waverly sat in the main seat, smiling at Melanie and Karina who were seated across from her.

“Ms. Melanie, you truly are an exquisite and bright lady. They say the waters of Yiefmery have amazing nurturing properties. The sight of you is a testament to that statement. You are the epitome of the classical beauty, one that seemed to have stepped right out of a painting. To my knowledge, the gowns I've been wearing for the past two years were all made by you. Truly, the beauty of the person matches the beauty of the embroidery. You are skillful and talented, achieving success both at home and work.”

Melanie was surprised and overjoyed to find that Waverly held her in such high regard.

However, the person who had been making gowns for Waverly the past two years was not her.

As for who it was, she wasn't sure, but it was likely one of the embroiderers from the embroidery workshop.

In order to maintain good relations with the influential families, Melanie would claim that the custom-made gowns ordered by all the wealthy ladies were made by her even if they weren't.

She never expected it to be of great help to her then.
