Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283

Juliana seemed bewildered for a second.

Silence ensued as she stood there quietly for a moment, but it did not last long. She smiled and said, “Maybe I'm too outdated, but I've never heard a word about you having a girlfriend. Are you blatantly lying in my face because you find me annoying?”

Zeke was dressed in a white suit. The moonlight he bathed in only amplified his elegance, making him look like a natural-born leader.

He speechlessly massaged his temples to soothe his pounding head and said, “Ms. Juliana, what can I do to convince you that I have a girlfriend? Do I have to let you speak to her on the phone for you to believe me?”

“Call her now. Let me speak to her when she picks up the phone. I will declare war against her! I still have a chance as long as you're not married!”

Zeke couldn't help but chuckle. He couldn't comprehend what went on in the lady's mind, and it seemed that his lie was about to be exposed.

Seeing how Zeke remained silent, Juliana sneered, “I knew it! You're lying! How boring! This is only just the beginning, and you can't take it anymore? Remember to find a better excuse next time!”

Zeke shook his head bitterly in response. He lowered his head, and after looking at the time, he calmly said, “It's late now. I'll have my driver send you home, Ms. Juliana. It's not safe for a lady to be wandering around late at night. I won't be able to explain to your master if something happens to you.”

Juliana blinked. She darted toward Zeke and wrapped her arms around his. “Hehe. I've been waiting for you for the whole day. Treat me to a meal, or I will annoy you to death tonight!”

Zeke stood there without saying a word, but he finally gave in. “Fine. I'll get you something to eat, but you have to promise me you will go home after you have your food. Stop clinging to me.”

Juliana giggled sheepishly.

Go home obediently after I have my food? That's not happening! I'll drag him to the movies and have some supper after that!

The grand ceremony was still going on in Century Hotel.

After the award ceremony was a lively party, and the sound of glasses clinking filled the air. Prominent figures in the political and corporate world could be seen chatting with one another everywhere.

As for Cedric, he was surrounded by the judges, which altogether had him occupied.

Bailey whispered something to him before she squeezed her way out of the crowd.

As soon as she walked out, Zayron came reporting, “Ms. Bailey, something's up.”

Bailey raised her eyebrows and dragged him to the side. “What is it?”

“Rhonda poisoned Susan's fruit juice.”

Bailey's gaze turned cold, and she asked hurriedly, “Did she drink it?”

Zayron blinked, and a sly glint shone in his eyes.

“I purposely had Susan ask Aunt Caridee to take her to the restroom. I wanted to see if Rhonda would do anything stupid, and she did. Everything is just as expected.”

Bailey's eyes lit up like the stars in the night, and she praised, “Good boy! What a move! Instead of waiting for Rhonda to make a move, you decided to deliver the chance to her to bait her into your trap! Not bad. You're just as smart as your mother!”

Zayron rolled his eyes in response. This woman is trying to praise herself by saying this. Has she no shame?

“What do we do now? Rhonda can't report to Cadence if Susan doesn't drink the poisoned fruit juice.”

“No. She might actually do it. Don't drink anything that she gives you. You'll die.” Susan stopped Zayron before delivering him her cup of fruit juice she had placed on the table. “Drink mine. Mine's better.”

Rhonda sneered inwardly, Good. Drink that. That's even better. Two birds with one stone!

Just as she was feeling cocky at the thought of the two little ones downing the drink, allowing her to report to Cadence about the completed task, she heard a snap coming from the side.

She turned around instinctively and was met with a pair of eyes from where she saw a universe filled with vast nothingness and stars.

One look was all it needed for her to be entirely hooked to the pupils that looked like the center of a vortex.

Standing beside her was Bailey. With a smirk, she leaned over and whispered something to Rhonda, forcefully injecting her will into Rhonda's mind.

When everything was done, Bailey nodded at Zayron, and the little boy hurriedly poured the fruit juice underneath the table.

When Rhonda came back to her senses, she was welcomed by the scene of the two little ones arguing with one another.

“Zayron! You drank all of them! You should've kept some for me!”

“There's still a mouthful there! You'd better stop! You keep going to the restroom after drinking too much!”

Rhonda's lips curled into a smile as a voice continuously told her that the two little ones before her had drunk the poisoned fruit juice.

Bailey, let's see how you're going to get away with it this time!
