Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285

Meanwhile, inside the living room of the Jefferson residence, Beatrice burst into hearty laughter as she flipped through the document in front of her.

So that's what happened. Back then, Waverly and Sophia were at the same hospital when they gave birth to their respective daughters at the same time. Those two girls grew up to be the Bailey and Zoey we now know.

As Beatrice stared at how much Waverly and Bailey resembled each other in the photo, an audacious thought emerged in her mind.

In order to allow her daughter to live the lavish life of the rich, Sophia had bribed the doctor with a huge sum of money to switch babies with Waverly.

In the end, the true darling of Lostaria ended up an ostracized child unloved by the Jefferson family. As for the girl with pitiable origins, she became the beloved daughter of the Shurmer family.

What an insidious scam this is. Sophia, I'm truly impressed by your methods. However, how did you end up dying in a fire with your corpse burnt to a crisp? Can it be that you immolated yourself so that the secret would die with you? No.

Beatrice's hunch told her that there was more to the matter than met the eye.

If she's so materialistic, there's no way she would kill herself. I'm certain there's a terrible secret hidden behind it still. Nonetheless, there's no hurry. This discovery is a valuable one, for I now have dirt on Zoey in my hands. As long as I leverage it properly, that fake will obey me, and I'll force her to remove all obstacles for Ronni.

Meanwhile, inside the suite of a five-star hotel, the seated Raiden glared at the bodyguard in black who was standing in the center of the living room. He ordered grimly, “Tell me, what has Scarlett tasked you with this time?”

“Um...” The bodyguard hesitated.

As he was Scarlett's personal bodyguard, he would be severely punished by the Fletcher family for his betrayal if he were to snitch on Scarlett to Raiden.

Raising his brows, Raiden exuded an intimidating aura and asked, “What's wrong? Do you not dare to tell me?”

The bodyguard dropped to his knees with a loud thud. “I dare not betray Ms. Fletcher, so please go ahead and punish me, Mr. Fletcher.”

Narrowing his eyes at the bodyguard, Raiden maintained his calm and replied indifferently, “If my guess is correct, Scarlett has sent you to assassinate Veronique and her son. Am I right?”

Stunned by those words, the bodyguard gave Raiden a horrified look. “Mr. Fletcher, you...”

Raiden waved his hand and sighed. “Given that she wears her heart on her sleeve, how can I not tell what's on her mind? You should stay your hand for the time being and give me some time to figure out an ideal solution. After all, I want to avoid bloodshed if possible.”

“Yes, yes, Mr. Fletcher.”

Back at the Luther residence, Felicity and Rhonda were chatting on the couch when the sound of rapid footsteps from the staircase caught their attention.

When Felicity saw her son scramble down the staircase, she couldn't help but ask with a frown, “Simon, what happened?”

While dashing out, Simon replied, “Bailey just called and said that Zayron and Susan were poisoned. Their condition is serious to the extent of being life-threatening. Hence, I'm rushing over to see them now.”

No sooner had he spoken than he ran off and disappeared.

As for Felicity, she sprang to her feet at once.

Even though she disliked Bailey and had her differences with the children, she still couldn't sit idly by. After all, they were still members of the Luther family.

Curling her fingers into fists, Rhonda celebrated triumphantly in her mind.

Is the poison in the b*stards finally working? Good! Now, Bailey will have to lower herself to beg Cadence for the antidote. I can already imagine how he'll make her suffer. In fact, I hope he tortures her and takes indecent pictures of her while he's at it.

“Mrs. Luther, let's go over to see them too. Weren't you thinking about seeing Max? This is a good opportunity to do so.”
