Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287

The three Luther men exchanged glances.

“Pick up and see what he has to say,” said Artemis.

Bailey nodded and answered the call. “Hi, Bailey here.”

“Yes, I'm looking for you.” Cadence's evil laugh sounded from the other end of the phone. “I can hear that your condition is not good. Let me guess. You're probably so panicked and angry now that even your vocal cords are damaged.”

Bailey lowered her gaze.

It was an undeniable fact that Cadence's medical skills were extremely outstanding.

If he had used his skills correctly, he would have been a great asset to the medical industry.

Unfortunately, he was too obsessed with obtaining fame and fortune, eventually losing his nature as a doctor.

“Yes. You poisoned my son and daughter, and their lives are in danger now, Mr. White. As a mother, how can I not panic and be angry? I've been through a lot in my life, but I immediately passed out after learning that my kids would not survive tomorrow. I just woke up not long before you made this call.”

Cadence burst out laughing. “This is the Anonymous that I know! If you had started crying and begging me right after you answered this phone call, I would have thought that you were acting. All right, let's cut the crap and go straight to the point! May I ask if I am qualified to negotiate with you now, Ms. Jefferson?”

“I don't want to watch my kids die from poisoning,” said Bailey in a calm voice.

“Haha! Okay, let's make a deal then. I'll send you a text message to inform you what to do later. You'd better not play any tricks, or I'll make sure that your kids are dragged down to hell with me, even if I have to ruin my reputation.”

As soon as he finished his words, the call ended.

Bailey quickly turned on a tracking software, trying to trace Cadence's position with the tracking system that she had developed.

Unfortunately, she failed.

It meant that Cadence had set up a multi-layer encrypted call.

D*mn it!

In the evening, Bailey received an anonymous text message. Without guessing, she knew immediately that it was from Cadence.

The message read: Meet me at Egret Square in the west of the city in half an hour. You have to come alone with the evidence. If I find out someone is following you, I will immediately destroy the antidote in my hand.

After reading the message, Bailey handed the phone to Artemis and said lightly, “He asked me to meet up with him, but I believe this Egret Square is not the final meeting place.”

Artemis looked down at the phone screen. After reading the text message, he frowned. “I believe he has some other intention. Otherwise, there's no need for him to make things so complicated. He could have just had you leave the evidence somewhere for him to pick up.”

Bailey arched her eyebrows and sneered. “I bet he's interested in my body and wants to strip me naked and—”

Suddenly, Artemis kissed her lips and stopped her from finishing her words.

How dare you talk like this in front of me? I have to teach you a lesson and let you understand who is your man!

Bailey rolled her eyes.

I was just kidding. Do you really have to be so serious?

Noticing the anger that enveloped his body, Bailey dared not resist and let him bully her to his heart's content.

Eventually, Artemis withdrew from her delicate red lips reluctantly and pressed his forehead against hers. “I will never allow any man to covet you. Let's stop playing with him. Just publish the evidence and destroy his reputation. I will then send someone to capture him. You really don't need to risk yourself.”

Bailey pursed her lips, wrapped her arms around his waist, and looked at him. “That guy is crazy. We can't live in peace as long as he's not dealt with. Since this strategy can lure him out, there's no reason to back down at this moment. You don't have to worry about me. Even if he wants to force himself on me, he doesn't have that capability.”

As she expected, this was not the final meeting place.

After waiting at the square for about ten minutes, she received another text message.

Cadence: Good girl. At least you didn't bring anyone with you. Drive your car fifty miles outside the western suburbs, and you'll see an abandoned factory. Park your car outside the factory and walk in.

Bailey curled her lips into a smile.

She supposed the abandoned factory was the final meeting place.

Bailey: Okay.

After replying to Cadence's text message, she gave Artemis a call. “There's an abandoned factory fifty miles out of the western suburbs. He asked me to meet him there. I'll need about half an hour to drive there. When I see him, I will notify you with the signal. Then only you depart. Don't worry about me. I'll find a way to deal with him and buy you time.”

“Okay,” Artemis responded briefly.

Bailey knew it was incredibly hard for him to say this word. It was indeed too much to force him to let her take the risks. However, there was no other way as she had to get rid of Cadence herself.

Half an hour later, Bailey arrived at the destination.

As soon as she got out of the car, she was keenly aware that there were many potential dangers hidden nearby.

It seemed that Cadence was fully prepared and had no intention to let her go easily tonight.

She ran into two black-clothed bodyguards after only taking a few steps.

“Hold it! We have to search you first.”
