Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303

“Hmm?” Shirley stared at Zoey in confusion. “Ms. Stone is pestering your brother? What's going on, Zoey?”

“She's just a little b*tch who overestimates herself. Just like her mentor, she throws herself at every decent guy she comes across. Heh... Watch how I tear her a new one!” Zoey replied with a mocking grin.

She then turned toward her servant and asked, “Where are they now?”

“Outside the mansion. Mr. Zeke's convoy had just arrived at the front gate when Ms. Stone confronted him.”

“That b*tch!” Zoey muttered under her breath as she dragged Shirley toward the garden's exit.

“Could you at least tell me what's going on, Zoey? I don't know what I'm supposed to do!”

Zoey replied, “Someone is about to steal your man.”

Sure enough, saying that worked like a charm as the look on Shirley's face changed instantly.

Outside the Shurmer residence, Zeke stared helplessly at Juliana and said with a sigh, “Ms. Juliana, you're still too young to understand love. There are plenty of better guys out there, so why don't you go after someone else instead? Why does it have to be me? Do you realize that your actions are causing me a lot of problems?”

Juliana flashed him a wide grin. “It's fine. I don't mind being with you all day, every day! As for my age, I'm twenty-two this year! It's the perfect age to get married!”

“So you think you can just go around stealing someone else's fiancé? Have you no shame, Ms. Stone?” Zoey asked in a sarcastic and mocking tone as she stepped out of the garden.

Zeke frowned when he heard that. His lips moved slightly, but he held his tongue when he recalled something and slowly took a few steps back.

Juliana turned around and stared at Zoey before shifting her gaze toward Shirley, who looked really elegant and graceful in her gown.

Before Juliana could say anything, Shirley stepped forward and greeted her with a friendly smile, “Ms. Juliana, was it? You sure are a lively young lady! You strike me as the type who would be having a stress-free relationship in college or something. I hear you're Snowflake's disciple. You wouldn't do something as uncouth as stealing someone else's fiancé, would you?”

Threatening me with my mentor's reputation right off the bat? What a cunning woman!

“You really are Zeke's fiancée?”

Without saying anything in response, Shirley simply flashed her a smile and shifted her gaze toward Zeke.

She figured he had invited her to Hallsbay to get rid of persistent women like Juliana, so she wasn't afraid of him denying her statement.

After a brief moment of silence, Zeke walked up to Shirley and said in a gentle voice, “Our engagement is no secret. I know the plans haven't been made, but it won't change the fact that we're getting married. There's no need to hide it.”

Shirley reached out and wrapped her arm around his as she scolded him, “Good thing I came over to Hallsbay in time, then. You'd be wasting this young lady's time if you didn't tell her the truth. I'm just glad we got all that out of the way.”

She then flashed Juliana a smile as she continued, “Since you're related to my cousin-in-law, Wendy, I'll invite you to our wedding!”

The look on Juliana's face changed instantly. “Is this true? Is she really your fiancée?” she asked while glaring at Zeke.

Zeke simply shot her a glance and said calmly, “I'll be sure to send you a wedding invitation.”
