Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

Victoria staggered and asked in a shivering voice, “Does that mean the Les Cinq Series, which we'd released publicly, is a case of plagiarism?”

Artemis nodded and replied casually, “The culprit would definitely go all out if he or she wanted to frame you guys for plagiarism. Otherwise, it would be just a waste of time.”

Victoria took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. “Since I signed the papers, I'll bear the consequences. I'll protect Bay's reputation at all costs.”

“And you're willing to sacrifice your reputation?” Artemis raised his voice. “Pull yourself together, Victoria. Investigate this matter and find the culprit. You think Bailey can walk away freely even if you took the blame?”

Victoria shuddered upon hearing that. He's right. The culprit had marked Bailey the target. If the person insists on pursuing the matter, Bailey, as the lead designer, will still be in hot soup.

Besides, Victoria knew Bailey would not let her take the blame. She'll shoulder all the responsibility to protect me instead.

“You're right. I have to pull myself together and investigate the matter. Since different designers are in charge of the drafts, I need to find out who the designer of the Les Cinq Series was and get her to show us her original sketch. We should be able to prove Luther Group's innocence.”

“You don't have to do that anymore,” Dwayne said while walking in. “I went to the design department, and the manager told me the designer who handled the Les Cinq Series is on a long break. She has not returned to the office for more than a week now. I believe she has gone into hiding. Someone must have threatened her.”

Victoria widened her eyes in disbelief.

Artemis, on the other hand, remained calm. It was as if he had expected this. “By hook or by crook, we must find the designer.”

“All right.”

Artemis turned his head to look at Victoria and said, “We can't keep this a secret from Bailey for long. She might have read the news and will call you soon. Don't agitate her by saying you'll take the blame on her behalf. Tell her you'll talk to her about this after the surgery. Got it?”

Victoria bobbed her head in response. “Got it.”

“You two can leave now. I'll contact Emmy Boutique and the CEO of LG Corporation. Let's try to lie low and spend time investigating this matter.”

As Artemis had expected, it did not take Bailey long to learn about the plagiarism case.

She received the news while conducting a pre-op checkup for Glen. She immediately called Victoria and told her to stay calm. “Let's talk about this after the surgery.”

Edmund approached Bailey when he saw her walk out of the treatment room. “How is he? When can we begin the procedure?”

Bailey studied the report with a frown and mumbled, “It's strange how Old Mr. Chivers' nervous system has deteriorated overnight. Is it due to the tumor's rapid growth? No, it can't be.”

Upon hearing that, Edmund could not help but ask, “Bay, what's wrong? Did something happen to Grandpa? Can he continue with the surgery?”

Bailey shook her head to get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind. I must be overthinking.

“Everything's fine. All the readings are normal. Do you have all the drugs I need?”

Edmund nodded. “I purchased all the drugs from overseas as per your instruction. But you should check it out just in case I made any mistakes.”
