Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321

She did not want to end up being down and out.

“I-Is it really that serious?”

Raiden stared at her coldly. “The country sent me to be in charge of this. Do you think this is serious? You tell me.”

Scarlett's face paled, and she immediately thought of quitting halfway.

However, when she looked at Bailey's amused expression, she gritted her teeth in resentment.

Do I want to give up on this golden opportunity? If Bailey wins this competition, doesn't that mean everything I've done will be in vain? How can I swallow this anger?

A touch of mischief flitted across Bailey's face, and an evil smirk played on her lips. “Whoever mastered the 5G technology will have the right to speak. Ms. Fletcher, you have to do well in my stead in the competition. If you lose, it will be a huge problem for the Fletcher family.”

“You...”

Scarlett glared at her. She felt defeated as she knew nothing about technology.

However, protecting her family was more important than making Bailey go to jail.

“You're really capable, Ms. Jefferson. First, you developed an anti-cancer medication, then there's the source code for 5G internet. You're a rare talent. Since you're representing the country in this competition, I'll let you off the hook. You better hope you don't fall into my hands again, or else there won't be any good consequences.”

With that, she stomped her feet on the ground and ran out of the office.

Raiden greeted Bailey, then ran after Scarlett.

Artemis arched a brow at the people from the Department of Justice and asked curiously, “What are you still doing here? Are you planning to have lunch here?”

The person in charge bowed and replied, “Pardon the intrusion.” Then, he quickly left with his subordinates.

After everyone left, the office fell silent.

Artemis glanced at Bailey icily. “How many women have you offended?”

Bailey chuckled softly. “I have you on my side even if the whole world is against me, no?”

Artemis' expression brightened up. He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her. “That's right. I like hearing these words.”

The rumors of Lionel from LG Corporation having a son spread like a wildfire and eventually, they became twisted.

Many people guessed that he was Lionel's illegitimate child; otherwise, Lionel would not have hidden him from the public eye for seven years.

Wendy bawled her eyes out in front of Lionel when she heard about the rumor.

Lionel had no choice but to convene a press conference to announce to the public that the child was his wife's and that it was a baseless accusation that his son was an illegitimate child.

After the party concerned stepped forward and clarified the situation, the rumors finally died down slightly.

In a mansion near the sea, Victoria was sitting on a swing chair and staring at the boundless sea in the distance.

She had been staying here for almost a week. Since that incident at the office in Saunders Group, Lionel had arranged for her to live at this mansion.

It was not the condominium he had prepared specifically for her. He said that the woman in his heart had died, so Victoria did not deserve to live there.

Right then, footsteps sounded from behind, and the swing chair began swinging gently.

Lionel looked down at her and asked flatly, “Are you comfortable living here?”

Victoria chuckled. There was no warmth in her expression, but a tint of melancholy in her eyes.

“It's just a place to sleep. Anywhere is the same.”

The conversation was dead.

There was an eerie silence.

After ten minutes, Victoria piped up, “I have heard about the rumors. The whole world now knows that you have a wife and child. If that's the case, do you still want to keep me as a mistress and ruin the marriage with your wife?”

Lionel snorted and pulled her up. He raised her chin and mocked, “Why? Are you scared? Are you afraid that the world will know that you're with a married man and that they will call you a homewrecker and a mistress?”

Victoria's lips twitched as if she was smiling. However, sadness was evident on her face.

“When they said you were inhumane for being with your stepmother, you must have been very scared, right?”
