Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

After making up her mind, Felicity quickly reached out and snagged her phone from the coffee table.

Swiping the answer button, she spoke without waiting for Rhonda to do so. “Ronni, I'm having a party at home today. Would you like to come over and join me? After all, you're now the mistress of the Luther family, so some socializing is a necessary evil.”

On the other end of the phone, Rhonda was slightly startled.

I wonder if the old biddy has gone crazy. Otherwise, why would her attitude toward me do a one-eighty out of the blue?

However, on second thought, understanding dawned upon her.

She's probably repulsed by that b*tch from the Shurmer family, so she's frantic to get me over to knock Zoey down a peg or two, embarrassing and humiliating her.

“I phoned you precisely to inquire whether you needed my help to entertain your guest, Mrs. Luther. If you do, I'll make a trip to the Luther residence. You're right that I'm now the mistress of the Luther family, so I should be attending such an event.”

Felicity swiftly answered, “Of course, I need your help! Come over earlier and entertain Ms. Shurmer well. Both of you are young, so you've got common topics. That way, she won't be left out.”

“Sure.”

When Felicity hung up the phone, she lifted her eyes to look at her husband, whose expression had gone grim. Arching a brow, she drawled, “I reckon you have no objections that I have the daughter-in-law of the Luther family come back and entertain our guest, right, Mr. Luther?”

Gerald cradled his head helplessly, lamenting with a sigh, “Is this necessary? Not only is Zoey a well-mannered and obedient child, but she also has an influential family background. If you put aside your prejudice, you'll definitely like her.”

“Hah!” Sneering, Felicity mocked, “How much trouble did that woman cause me back then? Like her daughter? Sorry, but I'm not that dumb.”

“How impertinent!” Gerald saw red. He paced back and forth in the room while pointing a finger right at her, seemingly having something to say yet hesitant to do so. After doing so a few times, he flicked his sleeves and stormed toward the door.

In the next instant, Felicity's nonchalant voice drifted into the air. “You'd best give that daughter of your first crush a phone call and warn her not to come over to the Luther residence to invite humiliation. As long as I'm alive, there's no way she's marrying my son. Tell her to just give up.”

Gerald went silent.

In the bedroom in the Jefferson residence, Rhonda started dolling up after disconnecting the call.

No sooner had she changed than Beatrice rushed in from outside.

“Ronni, I just received news that Artemis reserved the entire top floor of Mystique Land, seemingly to have dinner with a mysterious woman. I believe that that mysterious woman is Bailey, for his subordinate wrote her name when ordering flowers at the florist.”

Rhonda's hand that was holding her foundation stilled momentarily. Turning, she cast her gaze at the door and declared with a chuckle, “I gave that old biddy, Felicity, a call earlier. Before I'd even uttered a word, she earnestly told me to go back and attend a party as the mistress of the Luther family.”

A hint of joy showed on Beatrice's face. “Really? It looks like I hit the nail on the head, and Felicity loathes that b*tch from the Shurmer family. She'll never allow Waverly's daughter to marry into the Luther family. As for Bailey, she is Simon's woman in Felicity's eyes. Thus, there's no way she'll allow her to marry Artemis. You're still the true winner at the end of the day, Ronni.”

Rhonda turned back before picking up the foundation and starting to apply makeup. “Since that old biddy wants me to go over, I'll grant her wish and do my best to humiliate that b*tch, Zoey. Not only will that please her, but it'll also amplify Zoey's hatred toward Bailey, killing two birds with one stone. I can't wait!”

The conversation ended there.

In the morning, Bailey brought Zayron and Susan to the Chivers residence to visit Glen.

She first performed a full body check-up for the man. His post-operative recovery was speedy, so his condition had basically stabilized, which made her feel relieved.

While she had successfully cured the king of Eskaria a few years ago and had solid clinical experience, Glen was already up in years. Therefore, she took a high risk to operate on him when he was at the advanced age of eighty-plus years.

“Thank you, Bay. If it weren't for you, I would've probably gone to reunite with my late wife now.”

Bailey eyed Glen with a smirk. Quirking an eyebrow, she queried, “Are you complimenting me or deriding me, Old Mr. Chivers? I heard from Edmund that you'd been looking forward to reuniting with Old Mrs. Chivers. Thanks to my interference, you'll have at least another ten to twenty years to live. You're probably utterly resentful of me since your wish had shattered, right?”
