Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

It went almost the same as Bailey had guessed.

She thought something was fishy upon knowing a few days ago that Les Cinq Series was a plagiarised work based on the children's clothing line that Emmy Boutique had launched two years ago.

Since there are so many boutiques worldwide, why did Jessica choose Emmy Boutique?

Deep down, she believed someone must have helped Jessica secretly. Also, that person was likely the weird disciple she accepted.

“Master, I only wanted to throw Jessica a curveball because she's evil-hearted. She would scheme against you anyway, even if I didn't act. I understand that you're competent, but it's difficult to survive all of her tricks.”

Bailey massaged her forehead for a while and heaved a sigh. “Julie, you're the eldest daughter of the royal family in Adrune. Given your noble status, you shouldn't scheme against someone for me. After all, your reputation will be affected if someone finds out.”

“I'm not afraid.” Juliana suddenly hugged Bailey and rested her head against Bailey's shoulder. “Master, many mistreat you and wish to see you fall. I've chosen to act because I can't stand it anymore.”

Bailey's gaze softened. She patted Juliana's head and said smilingly, “All right. Anyway, it's good to let you find out how complicated and evil humans can sometimes be. Since you'll have to reign over the kingdom and become one of the most powerful women, it's time to learn and grow up.”

Juliana grinned upon hearing it. “I don't want to go home to take over the throne. Since it's relaxing and fun to be with you, why should I go back to suffer? You will protect me until I reach thirty, won't you? I don't want my family members to take me back and force me to be a doll everyone worships.”

Bailey raised her eyebrows and flashed Juliana a smirk. “Well, you can avoid becoming a doll by marrying a man who comes from a prominent family. With the protection of your husband's family, your father probably won't count on you to take over his throne anymore.”

“Forget it. My father was infuriated when my sister was pregnant out of wedlock. I don't want to follow in her footsteps.”

The next moment, Bailey pulled Juliana closer, patted her beautiful face, and sighed. “Ah, how pity! You have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Nonetheless, I'll feel proud if you inherit the throne.”

“Master...”

“All right. I'll stop teasing you. Now, tell me what the dirt is you have on Jessica.”

Once Bailey finished, Juliana got energetic and boasted about her capabilities for several minutes. In the end, she proudly explained that she had caught the designer of the Les Cinq Series and the low-level staff who switched the draft to something else for Jessica.

Bailey generously praised Juliana for what she did. When Juliana gleefully continued, a shiver ran down Bailey's spine. “Jessica was so weak and was easy to deal with. Yet, you had to do so much to finish her off. I was even forced to reveal that I'm the boss of Emmy Boutique. It's not worthwhile because we took a musket to kill a butterfly.”

Bailey was at a loss for words.

After saying goodbye to Jessica, Rhonda didn't return to the Luther residence but headed to the Jefferson residence instead.

In the living room, Rhonda explained to Beatrice the information she got from Jessica earlier.

“Mom, what should I do? Jessica can't escape this time. However, if we don't save her, she might expose our seven-year-old secret to Artemis.”
