Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300

Justin did not accept the wine.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the stirred-up ripples caused by the swirling glass, fearful of anything she offered him.

Veronique raised her brow and mocked, “Are you afraid that I'll drug you once more? Fine. I'll drink first.”

At that, she withdrew her arm and wanted to take a sip.

However, Justin stopped her, snatched her glass, and emptied it in one go. Then, he adjusted his tie impatiently. “Veronique, do you really want me to marry Scarlett? We can try conceiving another child to save Zephyr. Although there's risk in doing that, I'll stand by your side to protect both of you and not be affected by the marriage.”

Veronique chuckled. “In that case, I'd rather take the risk. I can live without a man, but I can't live without my son. Justin, you should sacrifice yourself to save our son.”

At that instant, Justin felt so uncomfortable, as though there was a lump in his throat.

He did not wish to tie the knot with Scarlett because he had never loved her.

He used to compromise when he was a bachelor. Now that he was a man with a woman and son, he loathed the idea of marrying Scarlett.

“I...”

He lifted his eyes, only to realize that he was the only one left in the room.

As he scanned the huge vacant room, a rueful smile crept up on his face.

Shortly after, he slumped onto the couch and fell asleep.

Soon, Veronique returned to the room with a tray of various tools.

It was an easy task for her to get sperm out of a man's body. Even though it was not an ethical act, she had no better way to achieve a win-win situation for both of them.

Meanwhile, Zephyr obtained the key to Shelbert Condominium from Zayron and secretly performed a paternity test there.

Zayron opened the door and entered the room.

Sighing, he patted Zephyr's shoulder. “It's not a bad thing to know who your biological parents are. Take it easy. I'm sure you'll find a way to get through this. I think you should get yourself treated abroad before coming back to wipe out the Fletchers and get your daddy back.”

Zephyr pursed his lips and uttered, “There's still a chance I'm not Justin's son until the paternity test result says otherwise.”

The Oscars was scheduled to take place two days later at Century Square, Hallsbay.

Bailey found the event rather boring. Hence, she tore the invitation card into two without checking its content and channeled all her focus on the upcoming programming competition.

Meanwhile, Dwayne entered the CEO's office in Luther Group and filed a complaint.

“Mr. Luther, it's about time you control your woman. She didn't even pay attention to the invitation card, which was fresh from the oven, and tore it apart the moment she received it.”

Artemis cocked a brow and grinned. “What a brilliant move! My woman can walk into any event whenever she likes. Why does she need an invitation card?”

Huh? Okay, bye.

Dwayne turned and took a few steps forward before stopping in his tracks. “By the way, the people at the Oscars are so thoughtful. They've arranged Ms. Rose, three-time Oscar winner for Best Actress, as your female companion of the night. Since Bailey refuses to attend, let Ms. Rose keep you company.”

Artemis shot him a cold glance and responded indifferently, “I won't go if Bailey isn't going. Please decline the invitation on my behalf.”

Dwayne widened his eyes in disbelief. “You changed the event location to Hallsbay. Additionally, the Oscars is naming you their guest of honor! How humiliating will it be for them if you don't plan to show up?”

“What's the big deal? It's an honor to be given a chance and be humiliated by me.”

Outside of the CEO's office, Bailey carried her laptop and left hastily.

A while ago, she had successfully cracked a series of codes which she could not make any progress days ago. Thus, she planned to test it out on the professional devices found in the technical department.

As she made her way to the corner, she ran into someone, and the two of them stumbled backward.
