Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509

They had indeed stirred a hornet's nest, for troubles were endlessly coming one after another.

“Say, who's the troublemaker this time?”

Artemis lifted a brow and chuckled. “Maybe someone wants to get rid of you as soon as possible because they got anxious after Zeke appeared at the antique appraisal event to get you out of trouble.”

Bailey chuckled and shook her head. In a resigned voice, she said, “And here I was, thinking of playing the role of a saint this time by letting her go and letting her enjoy the luxury of being the heiress of the Shurmer family, but... Forget it. I won't tolerate her in silence anymore.”

Artemis reached out to tap the tip of her nose and laughed. “That's right. You've already been magnanimous enough, so why should you make things even harder for yourself?”

Bailey reached out to circle her arms around his neck. “You were hoping for that woman to mess up so that you could take the opportunity to kick her out of the Shurmer family. That way, I'll be able to return to the family, right?”

Artemis fell silent. Bailey was smart, and his little tricks could never escape her eyes.

Since he could not keep it a secret, he decided to keep his mouth shut instead.

Bailey lifted her head to kiss his lips.

What can I do? I love this man so much. My world will probably collapse if I ever lose him.

“You never bothered setting women up, Artemis, but now, for my sake, you've set Zoey—your savior—up. I...”

Artemis chuckled quietly before sealing her lips with his. He mumbled, “No one else matters to me but you. So what if she once saved my life? If she ever dares to harm you, I'll still make sure she gets the punishment she deserves.”

In the morning, the Department of Justice and the Cultural Relics Bureau brought their men to the Luther residence.

Their aim was simple—they were going to move the antique statue to the museum.

The statue was a national treasure and a priceless antique. It could not solely belong to Bailey.

In the living room, Felicity looked at the person in charge of the Cultural Relics Bureau with a frown as she tentatively said, “We're already worshipping the antique statue in our house's shrine. We promise not to damage it, so could you please let the antique statue stay at our place?”

The person in charge of the Cultural Relics Bureau was stumped.

He had just received a large sum of donations from the Luther family a few days ago, and the sum was more than enough for them to purchase ten antique statues. It would not be a big deal if they were to let the Luther family keep the one they had.

However, his superior had ordered him to retrieve the antique statue and bring it back to Jadeborough Museum. He would not dare to go against the order.

“Mrs. Luther, I have no problem with leaving this antique statue here in the Luther family, but my superior doesn't agree with it. What about this? If you can get him to agree to it, I'll turn a blind eye to this.”
