Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 630

Chapter 627 Amniotic Fluid Test

She never thought Victoria would be that determined and had prepared to get a divorce without hesitation.

Has she and Lionel reached the end of their relationship? That's a pity.

Victoria slowly raised her head to look at Bailey. After a moment of silence, she tentatively said, “Bay, love has been troubling my mind for many years. I always thought that the Saunders family owed the Gezmond family—that I was indebted to Lionel—so I've been living in guilt. Now that the truth is out, the weight is gone from my shoulders. I can finally live for myself. I'm sure you don't want to see me become a useless person who has to rely on a man to survive, right?”

Bailey froze.

She ambled over to the side of the bed and sat down before reaching out to tidy the stray strands of Victoria's hair. With a smile, she said, “I understand what you mean. So you have no resentment left in you, right? You're getting a divorce from Lionel because you don't want to depend on him to live, right?”

Victoria nodded and hoarsely said, “Yes, I don't want to depend on him to live, and I don't bear a grudge anymore. An eye for an eye, and the whole world goes blind. My father has avenged my mother, and karma has gotten to Mr. Gezmond. My mother will be able to rest in peace now. Lionel is innocent, and I can't be so selfish as to blame him for everything that went wrong. He's in pain and guilt now. Even if we continue living with each other, he'll never be able to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Bailey reached out to hug her. “Vicky, you're magnanimous and wise. I'm sure you'll achieve great heights by yourself. Since you've decided to leave love behind, it's time for you to work on your career.”

At that, Victoria quickly moved away from Bailey's arms and said, “Bay, I'd like to borrow some money from you.”

Bailey arched a brow. “You're planning to purchase Saunders Group's shares from Lionel to revamp Saunders Group as the largest shareholder, aren't you?”

“I knew I couldn't hide anything from you. But this is a large sum. If you can't, I'll think of other ways.”

Bailey furrowed her brows.

Sure enough, she could not fork out tens of billions.

The charity work she had done over the years meant that she had used up most of her savings. However, she could seek Zeke or Artemis' help for this.

“Vicky, I'm sure Lionel will hand over Saunders Group's shares if you tell him about this. You don't need to fret over the funds.”

Victoria pressed her lips tightly together and squeezed out, “No. I don't want to owe him anything, so please, please help me as much as you can. I'll pay you back with Saunders Group's next five years' profits.”

Bailey tapped her forehead and laughed. “Do I look like I'm worried that you won't pay me back? Don't upset me by saying things like that.”

Victoria fell silent.

“I'll think of a way for you. Give me three days, and wait for my good news.”

“Okay.” It was then Victoria realized that something was amiss about Bailey. “Bay, your eyes are red. You cried, didn't you? They're swollen.”

Bailey lowered her head a little and mumbled, “It's nothing. Sand flew into my eyes when I was strolling at the garden earlier.”

Victoria narrowed her eyes and shook her head. “That's not right. Even your voice is hoarse. You've obviously cried. What happened? I told you everything, so you should be honest with me too.”

Bailey sighed silently before telling her about the video.

Victoria stiffened once she heard it.

A long while later, she finally smiled and said, “I'd say someone deliberately filmed it to agitate you. If you take this to heart, they win.”
