Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Rhonda was lying on the bed listlessly. When she heard that, she quickly sat up.

The only thing motivating her at that moment was figuring out how to deal with Bailey and Zoey. Thus, she was interested in listening to any news about them. “Stop keeping me in suspense, Mommy. Tell me!”

Beatrice sat beside the bed and ran her fingers through the hair in front of Rhonda's forehead as she spoke. “My poor daughter. First, you were tortured by that b*tch, Bailey. Then, you fell into Zoey's trap. Look at how thin you've become because of those incidents. Thankfully, god is kind enough to make those two women fall in love with the same man. One day, they'll fight against each other with all they got and they will suffer great losses.”

Rhonda was losing her patience. “Don't waste time saying that nonsense. What exactly is the opportunity you mentioned?”

“Why are you in such a rush, my child? I'm... Fine, fine, I'll tell you. As you know, Zoey returns to Hallsbay every year to celebrate her birthday with Artemis. It's probably going to be the same for this year, too. However, I just discovered something very interesting. Bailey's birthday is the same as hers. Who do you think Artemis will accompany?”

Seven years! Not once did Artemis celebrate my birthday in the past seven years. Rhonda's fists tightened.

Every year, when he celebrated Zoey's birthday, she would get insanely jealous, so much so that she wanted to tear Zoey apart.

However, she didn't have the guts to do so.

After all, Zoey was the heiress of the Shurmer family. With such a prominent family backing Zoey up, there was no way Rhonda dared to offend her.

Now, the tables have turned. It's time for Zoey to learn what it's like to be abandoned by a man she loves and go crazy from jealousy. Rhonda asked, “Who do you think Artemis will accompany, Mom?”

With a raised eyebrow, Beatrice replied slowly, “I got another piece of news. Artemis had supposedly gifted the mansion next to the sea to Zoey. Not only that, he had moved out from there. It would seem like he was keeping his distance from Zoey.”

That prompted Rhonda to laugh. “So what if she's the heiress to the Shurmer family and Gerald likes her? Bailey is going to teach her a lesson she'll never forget. I can't wait to see the twisted expression on Zoey's face when she gets jealous.”

It was then her phone, which was sitting on the table next to the bed, rang. Beatrice grabbed it, glanced at the screen, and said, “It's the spy you planted in the Luther family. Do you want to take this call?”

Rhonda calmed down, stifling the strong waves of emotions in her heart, and grabbed the phone.

After talking on the phone for a while, she hung up and started cackling.

She laughed so hard that tears formed at the edges of her eyes.

Beatrice furrowed her eyebrows. “What's going on?”

Rhonda's grip around her phone tightened as she uttered one word at a time, “Joyce just told me that Gerald had invited Zoey to visit the Luther residence in two days so he can celebrate her birthday, too. However, Artemis won't be there because of an emergency.”

Then, she grabbed her mother's hand forcefully with excitement. “I need to go back to the Luther residence, Mommy. I need to personally see the twisted expression on Zoey's face when she learns Artemis ditched her to celebrate Bailey's birthday!”

Beatrice thought for a while and nodded. “Then let's go. We can use this opportunity to flaunt in front of her and aim her attacks in Bailey's direction. What a wonderful show it'll be when those two women fight against each other.”

“Okay.”
