Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275

She couldn't believe her usually smart daughter would devise such a stupid idea.

How could she suggest such a brainless idea?

“Zozo, use the time in prison to adjust your behavior. If you're still this naive by the end, you should stop thinking about going against Bailey. I'll send you back to Lostaria immediately.”

“No!” Zoey's fists balled as she growled through gritted teeth, “I'll listen to you and adjust my emotions in prison. Bailey is the reason I got kicked out of the International Socialites Club, so I'll make her pay for what she did.”

Waverly flashed a satisfied grin. “That's my girl. Don't worry. I'm here for you. I won't let you suffer any setbacks in the future.”

“Yes, I still have you, Mom.”

Lionel sat on his leather couch in his study in the Gezmond residence. Holding a wineglass, he narrowed his eyes at the middle-aged man standing across from him. “Come again?” he demanded with a frown.

The middle-aged man nodded and repeated, “Saunders Group is making a comeback. Its share price is increasing slowly with an upward tendency. These two days, many shareholders are repurchasing their shares. Saunders Group's crisis has been resolved.”

“That's impossible.” Lionel held his wineglass tightly and stated slowly, “Under usual circumstances, Saunders Group can't make a comeback unless someone controls the share price and creates an illusion that there is an upward trend. Otherwise...”

He faltered and fell silent. His expression turned dark as a thought occurred to him.

D*mn it. Is that woman foolish enough to control the share market to help Saunders Group make a comeback?

“Check Saunders Group's capital flow and see if there have been any huge fluctuations these few days.”

“Got it.”

After watching the middle-aged man walk out of his study, Lionel tilted his head back and downed the red wine.

Victoria, what do you have in mind?

Outside his study, Wendy stood in the corridor and peeked through the gap of the door to see Lionel drinking alone. Her gaze turned cold as she balled up her fists.

Suddenly, someone's hand landed on her shoulder. Out of instinct, she was about to scream when the person covered her lips.

She turned at her shoulder to see Kimberly standing behind her.

“Shh!” Kimberly made a zipping motion with her hand before pulling her into the neighboring room.

After the door shut behind them, Wendy said unhappily, “Do you know how scary you were back there? Why are you sneaking around during the day?”

Kimberly pulled her to the couch. “Wends, you need to calm down. It isn't time to teach Victoria a lesson yet. You should only take action against her after Lionel destroys Saunders Group completely.”

Wendy's expression turned dark when Victoria's name was mentioned. “It's obvious Lionel is taking the b*tch's side. If I don't take action amidst the chaos, he'll bring her to a secret place and keep her for himself once Saunders Group goes bankrupt!”

“It would be great if that were to happen.”

“You...” Wendy huffed. “Are you telling me to turn a blind eye to his actions? Should I allow Lionel to get a mistress?”
