Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444

He suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Nothing left of her body? Could it be there's a shocking secret behind this tragedy?

“She switched me with her daughter back then and kept me with the Jefferson family, whereas her daughter was with the Shurmer family. Now that I've ruined Zoey's reputation, do you think that woman has returned to deal with me on Zoey's behalf if she is truly Sophia?”

Artemis fell silent for a brief moment and nodded in response. “We can't rule out that possibility. Don't worry. I'll try to dig more information about that woman before we come back to this.”

“Okay.”

At the same time, in the Gezmond residence, Lionel called Holden over the phone and told him to come and pick Wendy up.

Holden hung up the phone right away. Lionel thought he would not come, but he still showed up in the end.

At the main entrance, Holden stood by the stairs. Wendy looked down at him and said expressionlessly, “I'll bring Sebastian away with me once he's rescued. We will not disrupt your life and bring you any trouble.”

Holden did not say anything in response. Instead, he opened the door to the passenger seat and gestured for her to get inside.

Wendy tilted her head and glanced at Lionel next to her. Then, she forced a smile and said, “Nell, sorry for troubling you so many years. I hope you and Victoria will get your happy ending.”

Lionel reached out and patted her back. He seemed like he wanted to say something else but gave up in the end. “Sure, I wish you the same.”

In the car, Holden held the steering wheel as he drove ahead and said calmly, “I'm sorry for how I talked to you a couple of days ago. I don't know what happened six years ago, and I have no idea if I genuinely liked you or if I was only using you. Please give me more time to investigate what happened back then.”

Wendy pursed her lips and turned slightly away, fixing her gaze on the scenery outside the window.

It doesn't matter if you like me or if you're only using me. That does not change the fact that you approached me with a fake identity and took advantage of my feelings for you back then. It also doesn't change the fact that you left me without saying goodbye when I needed you the most. Moreover, you have stolen the most important intel from the Hoffman family by using my trust.

“Don't bother about it. It's been so many years. Whatever we had back then has already faded with time. You're only a stranger to me now, not the man I love. You guys don't even have the same name.”

Holden frowned a little at that. He was never good at coaxing women.

In fact, he never interacted with the opposite gender over the years, let alone coaxed them.

“Don't worry. That kid is fine. You'll see him in two days. If you don't want me to be responsible for you two, I won't force it either. I'll make the arrangements so that you two can live a comfortable life after we save him.”

A hint of anger flashed across Wendy's eyes. She was about to lose her temper, but she thought of something and suppressed it. “Sure. Thanks in advance, the vice president of Tarragon.”

He remained silent.

The next day, at the headquarters of Luther Group, Bailey was surprised to see the mayor's daughter showing up at work so soon.

Staring at the elegant and beautiful young lady standing before her, she couldn't help frowning. “Ms. West, what are you doing here? Since you've passed the interview, you should head to your department and start work there. What are you doing here at the executive assistant's office?”

Chloe smiled faintly and answered in a somewhat joyful tone, “The HR department director, Ms. Saunders, told me to come to the executive assistant's office and learn from you to ease the process for me to take over your position later.”

Bailey raised a brow. “Take over my position? I don't remember tendering my resignation.”

“You are pregnant, aren't you? So that means you will soon be on maternity leave. I'll take over your position during that time.”

Ha! How considerate. Should I thank the HR director for assigning an innocent beautiful young lady to work in the CEO's office once I'm away? Doesn't this make things easier for this woman to seduce my man?

“Sure. You can stay on the highest floor. There's a mini office out there. You can claim it as your own.”

Chloe smiled confidently when she heard that. She had expected to hear this from Bailey.

The HR department director personally assigned this position to me, so it's pointless for you to disagree with that arrangement.
