Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 511

Chapter 511

A moment later, Shirley replied: Wait for the right time to use your mother to get rid of Bailey. Try to get rid of her once and for all so she doesn't get a chance to make a comeback ever again.

The smile on Scarlett's lips widened.

She must get rid of Bailey Jefferson.

Veronique had been diagnosed with uterine cancer, and she could only stay alive with Bailey's help. In other words, if Bailey was out of the picture, Veronique was dead meat too.

Scarlett: Okay. You're doing this to get Zeke, and I'm doing this to get Justin. It's a beneficial situation for both of us. Regardless of everything, Bailey has to die.

In the living room, Raiden was sitting in the main seat, looking at Artemis with an arched brow and a half-smile. “Why have you come here instead of watching over your woman at home?”

Artemis gave him an icy look and uttered, “The news outside has affected Bailey's mood. When are you going to scram back to Dellmoor? Also, when are you going to get engaged with a woman so that people will stop thinking that you're in a relationship with Bailey?”

Raiden slowly dropped the smile, and a dangerous glint flashed past his eyes. “Artemis, don't push your luck. I'm already kind by not competing against you for Bailey. I hope you'll stop provoking me.”

“Is that so?” Artemis sneered. “It's pointless even if you try to steal her away from me because you don't have a place in her heart.”

Raiden knitted his brows. “Artemis, you'd better stop taunting me. My love for Bailey is no lesser than yours. If you trigger my indignance, I'll fight you to the death for her.”

Artemis scoffed before expressionlessly uttering, “Bailey has nothing to do with you. If you keep staying in Hallsbay, the people will only keep assuming that something is going on between the two of you. Isn't Mrs. Fletcher trying to find a woman for you? Get someone suitable and marry her as soon as you can. Stop making life difficult for me and Bailey.”

Raiden barked out a laugh in his anger. “Artemis, would you still settle for anyone after meeting Bailey?”

Artemis' expression tensed up. It was a question he did not wish to answer, but he had to. “No.”

“That's right. You won't, and I won't either. I believe Edmund won't too. So, stop telling me to marry another woman. I just can't.”

Artemis stared at him in silence.

“All right. I'll be heading back to Dellmoor tomorrow. Take good care of her. If I find out that you've been mean to her, I'll definitely bring my soldiers to make a mess at the Luther family's base in Hallsbay.”

Artemis remained silent.

At Juliana's place, Juliana was leaning against the chains of the swing, watching the handsome youth with a cocked head.

“How long has it been since we've seen each other, Huntley Cloudax?”

The youth inclined his head a little and humbly answered, “Ms. Juliana, it has been four years. You've been out training with your master, and you never came back during those years.”

Juliana laughed. “Don't stop. Keep pushing me. Push harder. I like the feeling of free falling. It's quite thrilling.”

A small smile crept onto the youth's face. He then rested his hands on her shoulders before pushing her. “Ms. Juliana, you didn't change a bit. Pure. Untainted. Just like the clouds in the sky.”

Juliana sneered. “You're right. I'm still the same as ever. Nothing has changed with me, but on the other hand, you've taken over half of the Hoffman family while my father is ill. You're a bold one, Huntley. Are you planning to revolt?”

Calmly, the youth continued pushing Juliana, not at all fazed by her words.

“I'm simply taking on some of the weight of your father's responsibilities. He has grown old, and neither you nor your sister can bear the weight back then. Someone has to take on the responsibilities. Even though I now have power over half of the family, my role is temporary. Now that you're back, Ms. Juliana, I will slowly relinquish my control and let you take over the entire family instead.”

Juliana scoffed.

She had underestimated Huntley, thinking that the boy would not pose any threat. However, in mere four years, he had discreetly taken control over half of the Hoffman family's power.

If she had come back any later... the entire Hoffman family would have been ruled by the Cloudaxes.
