Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096 Clearing Her Name

Artemis's analysis was accurate, but for Sylvester, it felt like a death sentence.

Have I unknowingly hurt her so much because my involvement in the situation has clouded my judgment?

When Artemis compared him to Micah and Justin, it only made him feel more hopeless.

In truth, Micah injured Shannon to save her life and protect her from punishment by the higher-ups of Tarragon.

Similarly, Justin hurt Veronique to protect her from the revenge of the legitimate daughter of the Fletcher family.

But what about me? What was my reason for hurting Rainie?

Upon careful reflection, he realized that it was simply because she had betrayed him. He had sent her to the nightclub to vent his anger.

He hurt her solely as a means of releasing his frustrations, nothing more.

“Am I truly unforgivable?”

Artemis listened to Sylvester's murmurs, sensing deep pain and helplessness in his tone.

After a few moments of silence, Sylvester composed himself and explained, “What you've done is not yet unforgivable. However, if it turns out that someone with ill intentions orchestrated everything that happened to Rainie, then your actions towards her would truly be irredeemable.”

Sylvester caught his breath, his voice trembling as he asked, “What... What do you mean by that?”

“It means exactly what you think. Any sane woman would choose you over Mason, especially Rainie, who already has feelings for you. Sylvester, do you really think Rainie would abandon you, the heir of the Hollett family, for someone from a branch family? If she were a gold digger, wouldn't marrying you be a better choice? You might not be able to see the full picture because you're in the middle of the situation, but that's no excuse for being blind. Think carefully. Perhaps this has been a conspiracy from the very beginning. Regardless of whether you can win back Rainie's heart in the end, you should uncover the truth and seek justice for her. This is what you should do as a man, understand?”

Sylvester remained silent for a long time.

No one knew what he was thinking or what emotional changes he was going through.

Once he had completely calmed down, he no longer blindly trusted Karina.

“Alright, I trust your judgment. I'm not the type of person who's afraid to admit a mistake. If it turns out that I've falsely accused Rainie because of the Hollett family, I will make it right by her.”

After he finished speaking, he immediately ended the call.

Artemis listened to the dial tone in the handset, a faint smile curling his thin lips.

Sylvester has moved past his stage of frustration, gradually emerging from disappointment. A man with a high IQ usually won't mess up that badly. Hopefully, he can uncover the truth. If he can't figure it out and ultimately blames Rainie, it only proves that he and Rainie are not meant to be. At that point, no one will be able to help him.

“Mr. Luther, everything is ready. Shall we depart now?”

The sound of Ken reporting from the entrance snapped Artemis back from his wandering thoughts.

He slowly rose to his feet and strolled out of the study.

As soon as he descended the stairs, he saw Rebecca, fully suited up and ready, standing in the living room.

She was dressed in custom-made military fatigues and wearing a military cap, looking dashing and exuding confidence.

She and Bailey were two completely different types of women. Bailey had multiple identities and was pursued by countless people, yet remained aloof and indifferent, as if she didn't care about any of it.

In contrast, Rebecca was charming, flamboyant, and full of vitality. Her cheerful personality and vibrant charisma made it impossible to ignore her.
