Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478

Zoey could not help sneering inwardly.

I don't know if this woman would harm me, but I'm sure she must have ulterior motives. A scheming woman like her would not have put in so much effort if there aren't any benefits for her to gain in return. After all, if she could abandon me, her daughter, as she pleased, I don't think she values familial ties.

“No. That's not what I meant. I know you're doing this for me, and you only instigated that woman to deal with Bailey because you wanted to make things easier for me.”

Hearing that, Sofie curled her lips elegantly. The look in her eyes was almost unfathomable. No one could tell what she was planning inside her mind.

“That's right. You should know I am your mother, your biological mother, and I will never harm you, even if I have to hurt everyone else. Come on. Sit next to me.”

Zoey shivered uncontrollably and suppressed her anxiety as she took a seat next to Sofie.

“Zozo, you heard what I told her just now, didn't you? Artemis isn't the only one in charge of the Luther Group. He also has someone extremely powerful backing him up. Words can't even describe the power he has in this world. If you marry him, you will become the most honorable woman in the world. No one will be able to compare to you.”

“If that's the case, Mom, I will let you decide what to do with my life. With you protecting me and opening new pathways for me, I think I will soon become the most envied person in this world.”

“Of course. You'll only have to listen to me, and I'll do my best to help you get everything. Remember, I only love obedient kids. Those who don't listen to me often end up badly.”

“I understand. I will stay obedient to you and never think of going against you.”

At that point, Zoey regretted relying on the vicious and brutal Sofie. Of course, Sofie could indeed be of great help to Zoey if the latter could use the older woman's cruel traits to her advantage. Otherwise, those traits would become a sharp blade stabbing Zoey so hard that she was sent to her doom.

The incident of Bailey questioning the authenticity of the emerald seal Lina chose at the appraisal had stirred quite an uproar among the public.

Aside from feeling excited that they found a national treasure, the public also harshly condemned Bailey's actions.

To the public, Lina was Vespera, the expert antique appraiser recognized internationally. They believed she could never make a mistake when appraising an ancient relic.

As for Bailey, she appeared clueless in terms of antique appraisal because she had even failed to recognize the love token that her master's wife had gifted to her master.

With such disparity in their professional skills, the public would not hesitate to choose Lina if they had to pick a side.

A comment wrote: Bailey is ignorant and arrogant, thinking she owns the world just because she has multiple big-shot identities. She's trying to claim a spot in every industry. How annoying.

Another seconded: That's right. We can still try to believe her words if she's questioning an ordinary appraiser. But now? She's questioning Master Vespera, an expert in the appraising field. How could she claim Master Vespera made a mistake in her appraisal? Isn't she trying to challenge the entire industry by doubting Master Vespera? After all, Master Vespera was nominated by everyone to represent every antique appraiser in the industry.

Another comment read: Bailey should give us a reasonable explanation within the next three days. Otherwise, we won't let her get away with this. She can doubt whoever she wants but not Master Vespera. I will always hold her against this.

Someone else agreed: Exactly. She can stop dreaming about using the Luther family's influence to gloss over this issue. We will not let her get away so easily.
