Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323

Lionel did not respond or stop moving.

“No matter what, we were once in love. Can you really bear to see my child get insulted and called an illegitimate child?” Victoria questioned miserably.

Lionel finally reacted as he abruptly paused in his tracks. However, he regained his composure the next moment and entered the bathroom before shutting the door forcefully.

Listening to the sound of water inside, Victoria burst into tears.

What should I do? What should I do now?

That night, in the penthouse suite of a five-star hotel, Scarlett was sitting on the couch while scrolling through her phone.

Beside her sat Raiden, who was watching her with narrowed eyes. He knitted his brows and said, “It's already eleven. Aren't you returning to the Xuereb residence?”

Scarlett leaned her head against the pillow and said weakly, “I don't want to go there. If you kick me out, I'll have to sleep on the streets.”

Raiden slammed his laptop shut and rebuked, “Fix your attitude and speak properly.”

Scarlett pouted and huffed, “I'm not going anywhere tonight. I'm staying here! There are three rooms in this suite. There should be a space for me!”

Raiden threw her a cold look before standing up and leaving his laptop on the coffee table. “Suit yourself.”

Without waiting for Scarlett's response, he walked into the master bedroom.

After a few minutes, the sound of water running came from the room.

Right away, Scarlett's gaze fell on the laptop on the coffee table.

She was fortunate that Raiden had his guard down around her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have enough time to extract what she wanted from his laptop.

Wearing the earphones she had prepared, she lowered her voice and uttered, “I'll turn on the laptop now. You teach me what to do.”

Five minutes later, Scarlett's lips curled into a smirk. She swiftly removed the memory card from the laptop and shut it down.

Right when she sat back on the couch, Raiden came out of the room in pajamas.

He took the laptop and headed to the study while reminding her, “It's past eleven. Hurry and go to sleep.”

“Okay.”

Inside the study, Raiden sat in the swivel chair while staring at the laptop before him with a frown.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a call from Bailey.

After the call was connected, Bailey immediately questioned, “Raiden, was anyone with you in the past thirty minutes?”

Raiden narrowed his eyes and glanced at his laptop again. Following a short silence, he probed, “What happened?”

Bailey sighed. “You're a wary man. I don't even need to guess to know who can touch your laptop right under your nose.”

Raiden's grip on his phone tightened.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, Ms. Rose. I'm certain about it. Mr. Gezmond has been going in and out of a seaside mansion recently. A woman lives there. I suspect he's keeping her there.”

Rose smirked.

There was no doubt as to who that woman could be.

It's Victoria.

“Continue keeping an eye on them. Find a chance to snap some intimate photos of them.”

“Got it.”

Two days later, the International Programming Competition was held at a convention center in Hallsbay.

There were only twenty contestants, but they were top computer geniuses from all over the world. Bailey was the only woman among them.

Despite the small number of contestants, the convention center was packed with tons of people watching the competition.

Twenty seats were set on stage, where the contestants would be coding on the spot.

In the southwestern corner of the convention center stood three women.

“Is everything all set?” Scarlett asked with a frown as she grabbed Zoey's arm.
