Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 569

Chapter 566 I Want Bailey Jefferson Dead

The fact that these people were the core members of the Department of Justice reflected how important this matter was to the higher-ups.

Bailey smiled nonchalantly upon learning the news.

It looks like a certain official is about to fall in Hallsbay, and the mayor's going to deal with the aftermath too.

Zeke called her to ask if she needed his help getting through this ordeal.

The woman chuckled. “I found myself a man so he can support me. What good would Artemis be if you're the one taking care of everything?”

Zeke couldn't contain his laughter. “I guess he's a good-for-nothing, then. I thought of helping you clear your name as early as possible then take you home to the Shurmer family.”

“Forget it,” Bailey responded without a second thought. “Your mother isn't going to welcome me, and I'd only make things difficult for you. Don't do anything to disrupt the peace in your family.”

Then, she realized she might have spoken too frankly. “I don't have a grudge against your mother,” she explained hastily. “I don't hate her, but I can't see myself loving her either. She's like a stranger who has no effect on my emotions.”

“I know, Bay. You don't have to get all nervous. Things will get better between you both one day.”

“It's fine. Anyway, I shan't bother you anymore. I'll talk to you next time.”

...

Upon returning to the Xuereb residence, Justin knelt on the floor before his mother, who now looked slightly better. Ambrose must have successfully convinced her to eat.

An ominous feeling rose in Olivia's chest as she saw her son kneel. “W-What are you doing?” she asked in a hoarse voice.

Justin raised his head. “I'm sorry. There's just no way I can force myself to marry Scarlett. I don't love her. Even if we do get married, she'd spend the rest of her life alone. And if the Fletchers find out about this, our family would only be in bigger trouble.”

“Y-Y-You!”

The woman pointed at him, unable to utter a word.

I thought he came back because he's finally figured it out, and this is what he tells me.

“So, you're going to just watch me die?”

“Your life is in your own hands. If dying is what you want, I have no choice but to accept that. I can't control your thoughts.”

“Fine! Then I'll die! There's no way you and that b*tch from the Revelle family will still be together after I'm gone!”

Justin shook his head and replied firmly, “Of course, we wouldn't be able to stay together if you die. When her time's up, I'll meet you in the afterlife with her and ask for your forgiveness.”

Olivia quivered with rage as she heard that.
