Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242

In the meantime, Artemis inspected the entire hotel, but he was not able to find anything.

Huh, this is really strange... My family is in charge of everything for this wedding, and our security levels are pretty good, too. There's no way someone would be able to sabotage it without leaving any traces behind, and yet, my investigations have yielded no results whatsoever. Whoever did this must be really skilled if they managed to get away with it.

After the wedding was canceled, Clarence and Beatrice brought Rhonda back to the Jefferson residence.

As if she had lost her soul, Rhonda sat on the edge of her bed and stared blankly at the LCD television on the wall.

Beatrice let out a sigh when she saw the state Rhonda was in. “Do you want to get your revenge on the person who ruined your wedding?”

That question successfully snapped Rhonda out of her dazed state.

The light slowly returned to her eyes as she turned toward Beatrice. “Mom, you know who ruined my wedding?” she queried.

Having made up her mind, Beatrice replied through clenched teeth, “If I'm not mistaken, the one who drugged you today is the same person who gave you that abortifacient.”

Upon hearing the word “abortifacient,” Rhonda got all worked up. The look in her eyes turned icy-cold and vicious. “Who is it? Who did this to me?”

“Artemis has always treated one particular woman especially well throughout the past few years. Do you know who she is?” Beatrice asked suggestively while glancing at the scratch wounds on her wrists.

Rhonda sat bolt upright as she realized who Beatrice was talking about.

“I know who she is! It's Zoey! It has got to be her! She would always stay over at Artemis' private mansion whenever she returned to Hallsbay! I'm guessing she's in love with Artemis, which would explain why she got jealous of him marrying me. I'll go tear that b*tch a new one right now!”

She was about to get off the bed when Beatrice held her down by the shoulders. “Ronni, have you forgotten what I taught you about letting others do it for you?” she asked sternly.

Rhonda paused and stared blankly at her for a brief moment before bursting into laughter.

“Hahaha! You're right! I can't believe I forgot about that! Artemis loves Bailey, not me. If I let Zoey know that Bailey is the one who stole his heart, she'll go after Bailey for sure! I could just let them battle it out before swooping in to finish them off! That way, I'll be able to get rid of them both in one go!”

Beatrice gently caressed her pale cheek, uttering with a relieved smile, “I'm glad to see you're finally mature, Ronni. Zoey is the Shurmer family's most precious little princess. On top of that, Gerald wants her as his daughter-in-law. Things are going to get interesting if she goes against Bailey. At least one of them is bound to lose the battle, and that would be a desirable outcome regardless of who it is.”

“Yeah! This time, I'm actually hoping Bailey will go all out and teach that b*tch a lesson! Bailey's not going to marry Artemis, anyway, so she'll make the perfect weapon against Zoey!” Rhonda exclaimed excitedly.

“Then be a good girl and nurse yourself back to health. That way, you'll be able to truly enjoy the show.”

Meanwhile, in Shelbert Condominium, Bailey poured Artemis a glass of warm water in his study.

“You didn't manage to find out who sabotaged the wedding?” she asked casually.

Artemis kept quiet and took a few sips of the water before replying, “I know it wasn't the act of our branch families because they don't have what it takes to get away with something like this. Rhonda's lover didn't do it either. He wouldn't have settled for someone like her if he were that capable.”

Arching an eyebrow at him, the woman stated with a smile, “This is getting interesting. If it isn't your branch families nor Rhonda's lover, who could it be? Do you think one of your jealous admirers might've taken their anger out on Rhonda?”

“It's possible,” Artemis replied in a straightforward manner.

I don't know who it could be, though. There are way too many girls out there who have a crush on me.
