Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315

Artemis' face fell.

They've been seeing each other a bit too frequently as of late. This is way beyond what is appropriate between strangers.

His sixth sense told him that Raiden was a threat.

Of course, it wasn't the man's status that alarmed him. After all, he was too high above to even care about prestigious families in the world of politics.

The threat he sensed was targeted at Bailey.

Could he have had his eyes on my woman and is plotting to come between us?

“Where are they meeting up?”

Dwayne blinked. “Palm Top Cafe.”

Artemis shot up from his seat and went around his desk to exit his office. “I won't be returning to the company today. Go through the remaining documents.”

Dwayne was speechless.

F*ck!

At the Xuereb residence, the administrative chief of the City Hall dropped by to explain the situation.

“Ms. Fletcher, we found out after some technical inspection that someone had hacked the City Hall's database. It was Spook's handiwork, and the hacker was the one who forged the marriage registry.

Scarlett stood up from the couch. “D*mn that Spook! That hacker had repeatedly helped Veronique f*ck around with me. I swear by my name that I'm going to have that hacker arrested and locked behind bars!”

Next to her, Olivia also had a livid expression on her face.

She had waited long enough for her son to realize the truth and agree to get registered with Scarlett, only for that sh*t to happen. It was impossible for her to keep her cool.

Moreover, it's that lowly woman from the Revelle family that's gotten involved with him! This is unacceptable!

“Mr. Sanders, since the registered information is proven to be false, I suppose the marriage isn't considered valid, right?”

“Well...” The person in charge seemed slightly perturbed.

Having lost all patience, Scarlett yelled, “Just spill whatever you have in mind! Quit stalling!”

“T-The thing is, Spook also gotten a hold of the City Hall's official seal and stamped it on the register, so the documents have gained legal status. Unless we can capture Spook and have them confess their crimes or have the wedded couple personally annul the registered documents at the City Hall, the marriage will always be considered legal.”

Scarlett's pretty face twitched violently.

That meant she had to either seize Spook or order Veronique to return. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to register her marriage with Justin.

“D*mn it.” She gritted her teeth in resentment. “I'll start an investigation on Spook immediately. I swear I'll find that hacker!”

Meanwhile, Artemis already missed Bailey when he arrived at Palm Top Cafe.

The manager informed him that the recent Oscars Best Actor, Elliot, had just taken her away with him.

Ken touched his nose sheepishly before backing away instinctively.

At that moment, Artemis was as terrifying as a raging bull.

“What are you waiting for? Start an investigation! I need to know where that boy brought Bailey to!”

Ken said nothing in response.

At that very moment, Elliot had brought Bailey to a restaurant.

They were seated at a window seat on the second floor.

Looking over the street corner, Bailey chuckled. “The city is both mesmerizing and yet filled with decadence and debauchery. Innumerous people had lost their direction in the bustle of it all. I hope you'll be able to stay true to yourself.”

After that, she toasted him. “Congratulations on winning the Best Actor award at the Oscars. 'Time Warp' is the pinnacle of my career. I hope you'll be able to render it into a youthful and motivating film for the silver screen.”

“Thank you, Ma'am.”

Bailey raised her brow with a smile. “You don't need to address me so formally. It's awkward. If you don't mind, you can address me as 'Ms. Bailey.' I have a younger brother who's about your age. He's also very outstanding, and you constantly remind me of him.”

“Okay, Ms. Bailey.”

Elliot took a sip of his red wine. As he looked around, he let out a soft gasp.

“Ms. Bailey, isn't that Ms. Yeanisky?”

F*ck! I had been after her from four o'clock this evening to eight o'clock at night! I haven't gotten a single bite of anything! This wretched woman—

A burst of rich aroma greeted him as Bailey removed the lid of the pot on the table smilingly. “I know you're hungry, so I made some soup in the restaurant kitchen. Come have a taste.”

The sullen look on Artemis' face melted into a smile.

His gaze on her was incredibly tender.

After that, he walked up to her, reached for her chin, and leaned in to kiss her.

Bailey glared at him before punching him in the chest. “Aren't you hungry? Eat up. I'll get you front-row seats for a show later on,” she demanded softly.

Artemis almost took her word for it and thought she would literally buy them tickets for a movie.

However, all of his fantasies dispersed after noticing the cunning glint in her eyes.

Okay, she's the spawn of the devil, and settling down would kill her.

As he drank the delicious soup, its rich flavor filled his mouth and gave him a feeling of warmth.

He turned to kiss her and fed her the soup he had in his mouth.

Bailey sighed inwardly.

Why can't he be obedient while eating? Why does he have to be so cheeky?

After quickly swallowing the soup he fed her, she chided, “Stop fooling around. I really have something important to do later.”

Artemis actually behaved himself.

Upon finishing his soup, he arched his brows and asked, “Who's your target today?”

Bailey remained silent for a while.

F*ck! How dare he say that!

Artemis burst into laughter. “It's okay. You can target anybody you want in Hallsbay, including the head of ministries. I'll deal with the consequences.”
