Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318

Her tone was chilly with a hint of defiance.

She had no intention of provoking an official's son.

Raiden was startled as if he had seen through her thoughts. “You're right. I have overstepped my bounds,” he said with a chuckle. “All right, then. If you don't win the award, I will disclose your identity as Spook to the public and have the people from the cyberspace administration department send you to prison.”

Bailey grinned and was about to speak when the office door swung open to admit Justin.

“I have something urgent to speak with you about. Is this a good time?”

Bailey raised an eyebrow and, upon further thought, inferred that he came to discuss Veronique's affairs.

She stood up from the swivel chair. “It is. Let's chat in the room next door.”

“Was it you who'd loaded the data into the computer at City Hall?” Justin began brusquely as soon as he took a seat.

Bailey smiled. “Zayron used my account to do it,” she affirmed bluntly. “I not only knew about it but also condoned it.”

Justin's pupils contracted violently. “Zephyr is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant,” he said, lowering his voice, “and Scarlett has promised to donate her bone marrow for the child. Such an incident has ruined the plan to obtain the...”

He suddenly stopped talking at the mention of the subject to squint at Bailey. “Something's not right,” he muttered through gritted teeth. “You regard Zephyr as your son. How could you just watch Zayron mess things up? Could you have found another way to save Zephyr?”

Bailey smiled enigmatically. “You're not as stupid as I thought,” she teased. “Yes, we do have another way, but I can't tell you how for the time being.”

Justin opened his mouth with the intent of asking further, but Bailey waved her hand to stop him. “Go home and appease Scarlett. Keep her from making trouble, or Rose will be the end of her.”

Justin pursed his lips. “Are you sure you can save Zephyr without Scarlett donating her bone marrow?” he asked seriously after a moment of silence.

Bailey responded with another question. “Is that important?”

Justin gritted his teeth in consternation. “Of course, it's important. If Scarlett doesn't have to donate her bone marrow, I'll find a way to annul the marriage contract between the Xuereb family and the Fletcher family. Veronique gave me a child. I should support her and give the child an unbroken home.”

Bailey blinked.

Somehow, Zayron's sabotage gave Veronique a glimmer of hope.

“Do you really want to marry Veronique?”

Justin glared at her. “Do you think I don't love her because I'm cold to her?” he growled. “Forget it. It's useless talking to you.”

At that, he got up and walked toward the door.

Bailey gazed at his back with a smile before giving him an affirmative answer. “The Fletcher family never planned to ask Scarlett to donate her bone marrow from the beginning, nor did Vero pin her hopes on Scarlett, so it's the truth that she found another way to save Zephyr. Rest assured.”

After watching him leave, Bailey got up slowly and prepared to head back to the office.

A figure dashed in and grabbed her as soon as she reached the door. It dragged her two steps back, then slammed the door shut.

“Artemis, what are you—”

Before she finished her sentence, the man's overwhelming kiss stifled her. His movements were rough and indicative of his anger.

Bailey was annoyed. She stomped on his foot with a high heel, and a gasp sounded from above her head at the next second.

Serves him right.
