Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319

“Just as I thought. Spook stole Scarlett's bone marrow model because Mr. Zephyr of the Revelle family has leukemia and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant. Bailey and Veronique are good friends, so I'm guessing that Bailey is Spook. Hacking into the research institute is a serious crime, Zoey. She probably participated in the International Programming Competition just to rid herself of the crime.”

Zoey smiled suddenly. “So, we just need to prevent her from winning the competition?”

Shirley reached out to hold the other's wrist. “You are my sister-in-law,” she said solemnly, “and are the last person I would deceive. I would not have informed you of this if I didn't have faith in my source. I hope you can marry into the Luther family, Zoey. Marry for love.”

Zoey clenched her fists slowly as a hint of cruelty flashed across her eyes. I will be part of the Luther family one day. I will don a wedding dress and marry Artemis, the love that belongs to me. That woman, Bailey, is my biggest stumbling block. I will do everything in my power to trample her under my feet.

“What do you think we should do, Shirley?”

Shirley smiled slyly. “We are not the only ones who want Bailey dead. I heard from my brother that Scarlett is looking all over the world for Spook. If she, the daughter of the infamous political family, knew that Bailey was Spook, she would do everything in her power to get rid of Bailey.”

Zoey looked at her friend doubtfully. “Does she hate Bailey that much?” she asked with a frown. “I'd never heard Bailey offending her any other way apart from stealing her information.”

Shirley leered. “Here's something you don't know. It was said that Scarlett and Justin went to City Hall to obtain a certificate but failed because Spook hacked City Hall's system to register Justin and Veronique, the second daughter of the Revelle family, for marriage. After Scarlett found out, she dispatched a large team to investigate Spook's true identity. Bailey has sabotaged Scarlett's dream of many years of Justin finally agreeing to marry her. Do you think she'll let that slide?”

Zoey roared with laughter. “I can't believe that actually happened. That b*tch, Bailey, is a typical example of courting death by offending the Fletcher family. How will she get away with this?”

She stopped laughing abruptly, and her eyebrows creased slightly as if she had thought of something. “So what if Scarlett knows that Bailey is Spook? Can she still beat that woman?”

Shirley smiled mysteriously. “I'd heard that Scarlett's elder brother, Raiden, is wholly in charge of the contestants in the Chanaea Division. Mr. Fletcher must have Bailey's source code. We just need to instigate Scarlett to steal Bailey's source code from her brother's computer and sell it to another contestant, then have them submit it first. When Bailey submits hers, we can accuse her of stealing somebody else's work.”

“What an ingenious idea.”

Zoey cast Shirley an approving gaze and said jokingly, “You'll do a fantastic job of keeping my brother close at hand with you by his side.”

Shirley smirked.

There are too many celebrities who want to climb into Zeke's bed, and I must be prepared if I am to become the matriarch of the Shurmer family. How is the second daughter of the Hoffman family, a simple-minded thing, deserving to fight with me over a man? What a joke!

Bailey leaned lazily on the couch by the window at the staff café in Luther Group as she regarded Rainie seated opposite her with a half-smile. “You promised to buy me coffee, yet I find myself at the café in Luther Group with the bill ending up on me. How insincere.”

Rainie was stunned.

Ms. Jefferson is really specific when she gives out a tongue-lashing.

“Thank you for that night, Bailey. I would be ruined now if it weren't for you. I can't imagine what horrors would befall me if Rose's plot succeeded.”

A sly look appeared on Bailey's face as she suddenly leaned closer to the other. “I'm more concerned about the follow-up,” she insisted with raised eyebrows. “You can express your gratitude by telling me what happened after that.”

Rainie was slightly taken aback before bursting out in laughter after grasping her meaning.

Does Big Shot enjoy gossip as well?

“Nothing happened. He sent me to Justin's medical base, and Justin gave me an antidote for the drug.”

“How anticlimactic,” Bailey snorted, pursing her lips. “He deserves to be single for failing to act upon such a good opportunity.”
