Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525

Bailey furrowed her brows as she thought about it.

I can't say no to that... Knowing Clarence, he will definitely go to Vicky and tell her everything if I don't do as he says. Vicky has been through a lot of pain, so she can't possibly take any more abuse. If she finds out that Lionel's father was the one who killed her mother, she would probably grab a knife and stab Lionel in the heart. It would be a real tragedy if two people, who are deeply in love with each other, end up killing each other. I can't allow that to happen! Besides, Clarence most likely just wants me to keep my true identity a secret so I won't return to the Shurmer family, so I'll be safe.

“All right... I'll meet you at Century Grandeur right away, so don't tell Vicky about this.”

“I won't tell her as long as you come over.”

Little did Bailey know, she had underestimated Clarence's wickedness. She had thought of how he would threaten and force her to keep her true identity a secret, but she didn't expect him to use such a horrible method to destroy her.

In the years to come, Bailey would lament the ugliness of humanity whenever she recalled what happened that day.

...

The driver dropped Bailey off at Century Grandeur about thirty minutes later.

“Do you need me to come with you, Madam?” the driver asked.

“No, that won't be necessary. I'm just going to meet my adoptive father. He won't do anything to hurt me, so you can just wait for me in the parking lot,” Bailey replied with a wave and got out of the car.

She had just arrived at the elevator when her phone started ringing again.

A glance at the caller ID revealed that it was a call from Zeke.

“What is it?”

“Something came up, so I won't be able to make it to the laboratory. I've spoken to the person in charge, so all you have to do is tell him what you need when you get there. He'll do his best to meet your requirements.”

Bailey let out a soft chuckle. “All right, I will. You go ahead and do what you have to do.”

Clarence had been waiting for quite a while by the time Bailey entered the cafe on the third floor of Century Grandeur.

“There you are, Bay!” he greeted her when she came in through the door.
