Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420

Juliana tapped on his shoulder and smiled. “For you. I'm not leaving anymore. I'll follow them back.”

Perplexed, Sebastian looked at her and asked, “Are you not pursuing Mr. Shurmer? Are you giving up on him?”

Juliana glared at him and gritted her teeth. “You've only spent a few days with Zayron, and you're already talking like him!”

“Aunt Juliana, are you really going back? Are you doing it to save me?” Sebastian frowned.

Juliana patted his cheek and teased, “You wish! You think highly of yourself, don't you? I'm going back to take over power.”

“Is power more important than the man? If you can get Zeke, you will be the matriarch of the Shurmer family. You will still be powerful, no?”

Juliana flashed a faint smile. “That's the sort of power that's given. It's not as good. All right, let's think about how to get you out of here.”

Sebastian pursed his lips. “Don't worry. If Mr. Raymond doesn't hand me over, they won't be able to leave Hallsbay. I think we're still here now because they're trying to use me to get benefits from my biological father. I don't mind playing along. For how he abandoned me and my mom, he deserves to get scammed by Mr. Raymond.”

Juliana's lips twitched. He's becoming more and more like Zayron! However, he has a point. If Raymond wants to leave Hallsbay safely, he has to hand Sebastian over. At the moment, they just want to take back what the Hoffman family wants from Holden. For example, the control over Zaewora.

“Perhaps I worry too much. Let's just hope your father actually cares about your life.”

Sebastian merely snorted in response. If he doesn't save me, I'm going to make his life a living hell when I get out.

Meanwhile, a loud slap echoed through the living room of a suite at a five-star hotel.

Sloan had just delivered Scarlett a tight slap across her face. “Who told you to drug Justin and try to get into bed with him in front of so many guests?”

Scarlett held her cheek and slightly lowered her head to hide her hostile gaze. I was so close. Veronique is such a b*tch. She just had to mess up my plan. I hate her! I hate her!

Sloan got even angrier when he saw Scarlett keeping silent. “I've achieved so much, but somehow, I ended up having a foolish girl for a daughter. You wanted to sleep with a married man. Do you think the Fletcher family doesn't have enough problems? Do you want the family to vanish even faster? Fortunately for you, Justin managed to control himself. If something had happened, the Fletcher family would've been destroyed by you.”

Scarlett bit her lip and uttered through gritted teeth, “Justin was my fiancé, but Veronique snuck in and took him. I can't accept it! Dad, I can't accept it.”

“You don't have a choice!” Sloan roared. “Now is the most critical moment for the transition of power. You better behave yourself. I have arranged for a plane to send you and your brother back to the family.”

Scarlett balled her fists in anger.

Right then, Tamara went up to Scarlett and grabbed her arm. “Listen to your dad. Go back to Dellmoor,” she whispered.

Scarlett was about to retaliate, but Tamara sent her a warning by tightening her grip on her wrist.

“Fine. I'll go back.” Scarlett thought of something and caved in. I'll wait till the Fletcher family is in power. By then, I'll get someone to get rid of Veronique.

Night had fallen when Bailey woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she noticed the room was dimly lit.

Upon adapting to the brightness of the light in the room, she turned to her side and saw Artemis sitting next to her on the bed.

“You're awake?” His voice was hoarse, and there was a trace of weariness in his voice.

Bailey frowned and struggled to sit up. After that, she got out of bed and was about to leave the bedroom.
