Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 592

Chapter 589 Her Innocence

Howard's expression turned grim when he noticed the reporters' attention diverted from the main topic.

Tamara had entrusted him to send Bailey to jail. He would be dead meat if he could not complete that task.

“All right, everyone. Stop chattering. Let's all take two steps back. If you want to conduct an interview, please wait for us to finish our business.”

With that, he called over the officers standing at the side to maintain order.

The officers soon cleared away the reporters crowding in front of the building.

Howard looked at Zeke standing at the top of the stairs. He calmly said, “Mr. Shurmer, Bailey's identity as the daughter of the Shurmer family is indeed distinguished. However, she committed a crime and should be punished according to the law.”

Zeke took a step forward and pulled Bailey to stand behind him. He looked down at Howard from above and flashed the latter a smile. “Did you not hear what my sister said, Mr. Lewis? I don't mind repeating it to you. She said to give her some time. She'll find proof of where the funds went to. Besides, the balance showed a hundred twenty billion, but the donations from the public were only around seventy billion. Where did the other fifty billion come from? Don't you think it's obvious?”

Howard was at a loss for words.

Zeke did not press on further when he noticed that Howard was silent. Instead, he looked to the cameras held out by the reporters and casually said, “Everyone knows that my sister is talented in various fields such as medicine, design, literature, racing, programming, fashion design, and more. She has accumulated tens of billions of wealth. Despite that, she lives in a three-bedroom apartment in Hallsbay and leads a humble life. Aren't you all curious where the money she earned has gone to?”

The square suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Howard sneered. “Mr. Shurmer, are you trying to say that she donated to charity by transferring all her money into the foundation's account?”

Instead of answering him, Zeke asked, “Do you not think so? If not, where did the extra fifty billion in the account come from? Were you the one who donated it? It looks like government officials in Dellmoor are quite wealthy. They can donate fifty billion in one go. Mr. Lewis, you must have hundreds of billions of net worth, huh?”

Howard frowned. “Where would I get that much money to donate to the foundation? Mr. Shurmer, please mind your words and don't spout nonsense.”

“Oh? It wasn't you who donated it? Then who was it? Can they step forward and admit to it?”

Howard was rendered speechless.

Zeke's expression darkened. Raising his voice, he went on, “Out of the one hundred twenty billion in the foundation's account, fifty billion was donated by my sister. She donated the money she earned in the past few years to charity. If you have any conscience left, you should stop forcing her to admit to something she hasn't done. She's already given her everything to help those in need. All of you should be treating her with respect. As for the thirty-eight billion that was found to be missing, it was originally my sister's money anyway. How did it turn into her embezzling the charity's funds?”

He paused momentarily before continuing, “Plus, she's already expressed that she would investigate the details of the expenditure and give everyone an explanation. Is there even a need for you to keep forcing her like this? I, Zeke Shurmer, will make it clear to everyone today. If she's unable to find anything related to the missing funds, I'll cover that thirty-eight billion.”

Tears welled up in Bailey's eyes as she stared at Zeke's back in a daze. She felt safe as she stood behind him.

God had treated her well. Although she had suffered a lot, got laughed at, and encountered many obstacles throughout the years, God had gifted her the two most important men in her life.

One was Artemis, and the other was Zeke. She felt safe and loved with them by her side.

“Zeke...”

Zeke trembled and could not help but turn to look at her. Grabbing her hand, he whispered, “Don't be scared. Even if the sky falls and the world turns against you, you'll still have me by your side.”

Just then, several students dressed in casual clothing hurried toward Zeke and Bailey.
