Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 542

Chapter 539

Veikko felt a headache coming as he looked at the furious branch leaders.

It would be difficult for him to turn the tables on his own now that things had turned out this way.

However, could he ask Bailey to take charge of this?

Nothing good would come of letting the Saviors' subordinates know she was in love with Tarragon's leader.

“It might not be Tarragon who tried to assassinate me. Give me a few days to investigate this matter and see whether there is someone else behind this. As for our leader, she has an important affair, so we shouldn't trouble her with small matters like this.”

One of the branch leaders came forward and narrowed his eyes at Veikko. He stated, “Veikko, why do I feel you're trying to protect Tarragon? We have always been at odds with them. Now that they have publicly provoked us, you're advising us to smooth things over instead of retaliating. What are your intentions?”

Veikko's gaze darkened. He understood the situation instantly. Some of the branch leaders were listening and following this person's orders. They were here to fan the flames of conflict and sow discord between the two organizations.

“I'm the person in charge of the Saviors now. Since the leader is not present, I'm the next in line. As for my intentions, I don't want any conflict to arise between both organizations, which would lead to tremendous losses on both sides. But what are your intentions in banding together with the other branch leaders to question me about my intentions?”

The branch leader's expression changed drastically as he started trembling in anger. “Veikko, don't you dare accuse me of something I didn't do! I heard you were attacked and wanted to find out what happened. That's why I suggested going to war with Tarragon. Since you are adamant that it was not done by Tarragon, you should disregard what I just said.”

With that, he left the lounge with the other branch leaders.

Complicated emotions swirled within Veikko as he watched them leave.

After a brief moment of silence on the couch, he took his phone from the coffee table and dialed Bailey's number.

When the call connected, he asked about her condition before letting her know what had happened.

“Ms. Bailey, they are finally showing their true colors.”

“Send someone to monitor them around the clock. Then, investigate who they were in contact with recently.”

Veikko hummed in acknowledgment before replying, “I'll find out who's causing trouble. You should rest properly at Hallsbay.”

“Oh, right. How's Caridee? Is she okay?”

Upon hearing her mention Caridee, Veikko felt his head ache.

If he sought help from the Fletchers, they would most certainly force him to marry Scarlett. He would be back to square one.

With the situation he was in, he still tried to provoke Veronique. Bill would obviously be unwelcoming to him.

“Mr. Revelle, Vero is my wife. I'll never hurt her. Before the annulment of my marriage, I'll never betray her. She just had surgery and needs someone to take care of her. Can you let me in so that I can stay by her side? Then, we can talk about this matter after she's better. What do you think?”

Bill was expressionless as he uttered, “I'll only accept a live-in son-in-law. If you really love my daughter, you will cut all ties with the Xuereb family and become a part of our family, or you will never get to see my daughter in this lifetime again. I don't wish for her to suffer in this love triangle any longer.”

He wants me to become a part of the Revelle family and cut all ties with the Xuereb family?

Justin's expression turned dark in hostility. Bill's requests were too heartless and difficult. No ordinary person would be able to fulfill them.

“I can be a live-in son-in-law. However, the Xuereb family raised me, and I'm my parents' only son, so I can't just cut all ties with them. I'm being completely sincere. Please don't be so harsh on me.”

Bill scoffed. “All right. You don't need to break ties with the Xuereb family. However, you must not intervene in your uncle's matter. Can you do that?”
