Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 571

Chapter 568 No Longer Seeking Death

Scarlett, who was supposed to be in Dellmoor, suddenly appeared in Hallsbay.

In a booth on the second floor of a café at the end of the street, a middle-aged man was looking at a young lady nervously. With a shaky voice, he asked, “L-Lady Scarlett, may I ask what prompted your honorable visit?”

Scarlett simply smiled and poured a cup of coffee for him. “Have a drink, Mr. Lewis.”

Howard took the cup with trembling hands and sipped performatively before asking, “Could I know why you asked to meet me, Lady Scarlett? Your wish is my command.”

Scarlett raised an eyebrow. “Will you truly do anything I ask of you?”

“As long as I am able to accomplish it, then consider it done.”

“Alright. You were recently tasked with investigating Bailey embezzling the donations from the foundation, yes? All I need is for you to tell them that you found out that Bailey embezzled a huge amount. Even if it's not enough to get her sentenced to death, I want her to rot in jail for the rest of her life. Can you do that?”

Howard didn't reply instantly. Instead, he asked cautiously, “Lady Scarlett, is this coming from you or your mother?”

Scarlett looked at him amusedly and said lightly, “You should know about the rumors about my brother being head over heels for Bailey that have been circulating recently, right? He's been thinking of marrying her. Do you think my mother would allow that? Do you think a woman who's already given birth even has the right to become the next matriarch of the Fletcher family?”

Howard immediately understood what was going on.

“So, yes, this is from your mother. She doesn't want Bailey to continue involving herself with Mr. Raiden, so she wants me to throw Bailey in jail and nip Raiden's intentions in the bud.”

Scarlett sipped some coffee from her own mug and said slowly, “Yes, that's right. That's exactly what my mom wants. If you don't believe me, you can call her and have her tell you personally.”

“That won't be necessary, “Howard quickly declined. “How dare I not believe your words, Lady Scarlett? Since this is what your mother wants, I will do my best to fulfill that wish.”

With the Fletcher family behind him, he didn't have to worry about his future position. Even if he tore up the whole field of politics, he had nothing to be afraid of.

Scarlett smirked. “I'll be waiting for your good news. Don't let my mother down, Mr. Lewis. If you get this right and get rid of her worries, then the bureaucracy is yours to conquer.”

“Of course! I'll make sure everything goes according to plan. I promise I won't let you guys down.”
