Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 581

Chapter 578 I Will Not Hold Back

Zoey apologized to the person on the other end of the phone and ended the call.

“Don't be angry, Lady Scarlett. I'm working on a cooperation deal between us,” Zoey uttered.

Cooperation? Scarlett narrowed her eyes and stared at Zoey. “What tricks are you playing on me, Zoey? At this moment, I'm not someone you can afford to mess with.”

Zoey smiled sheepishly and replied, “You're right, Lady Scarlett. Who would dare to cross you? However, you're suffering emotionally, aren't you? Don't you think that's rather...”

“What are you getting at?” Scarlett raised her voice. “Zoey, I don't have time for your bullsh*t. Spill it!”

“Veronique is critically ill.”

Scarlett was stunned momentarily. She then narrowed her eyes at Zoey and queried, “What did you say?”

Zoey lowered her head to conceal the frigid look in her eyes from Scarlett. What's with her attitude? Everyone knows she can only afford to behave this way because the Fletcher family is backing her. I would love to see if she can still stay arrogant when she loses the Fletcher family's support one day.

“I said Veronique was critically ill. Prior to this, one of the experts called me and told me the cancer cells in Veronique were starting to spread, so she was in critical condition. But...”

“But what? Speak.”

“But it seems like Bailey will save her. You know Bailey is Anonymous, right? Not only does she have incredible medical skills, but she had even developed an anti-cancer drug for the country. Hence, she's rather experienced in this field. If she says she can save Veronique, she surely can.”

Hearing that, Scarlett slammed her hand on the table, and her face was distorted with rage. “It's you again, Bailey Jefferson! You're always ruining my plans. Is your existence just to oppose me?”

In response, Zoey clicked her tongue and uttered in disappointment, “Initially, after Veronique died, no one would be standing in your way anymore, Lady Scarlett. She was meant to die. However, Bailey showed up and ended your hopes.”

Scarlett glared at Zoey and gritted her teeth. “You didn't ask me out just to say this, did you? What else do you have for me? Spill it! My patience is running low.”

“All right. Since you're being so straightforward, Ms. Fletcher, I'll be frank. Would you like to work with me to get rid of Bailey?”

What? Of course! Scarlett was too angry to think it through, and she asked, “How?”

“Now is the best chance to kill Bailey.”

Scarlett clenched her fists, and her gaze turned gloomy. “What chance are you talking about? If it turns out to be something I deem doable, I'm not going to hold back.”

The moment they approached the room, the guards guarding the door stopped the boys. “Mr. Maxton and Mr. Zayron, Mrs. Shurmer told me to keep you away from Ms. Gourd's room. Ms. Gourd is not feeling well now, so she needs to rest. Please leave.”

The boys exchanged glances and communicated wordlessly.

A few seconds later, Zayron smiled and uttered, “Well, I wanted to see my future aunt. Since you guys don't let me do that, I'll just forget about it.”

After that, Maxton said loudly, “Since our aunt is refusing to see us, that means she doesn't even see us as her nephews. All right, then. From now on, we don't have to acknowledge her as our aunt anymore.”

Shirley heard what the boys said from inside the room, and she was furrowing her brows. Zeke seems to like Bailey's kids a lot. If I can get in the kids' good books, does that mean Zeke will treat me nicer?

With that in mind, she quickly called out to the guard, “Let them in!”

The guard opened the door and uttered in an aggrieved tone, “Mrs. Shurmer told me to keep them away from you.”

“It's fine. If Mrs. Shurmer reprimands you guys, I'll bear the consequences. Let them in. Since the kids want to see their aunt, how can I refuse to see them?”
