Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 634

Chapter 631 Illegitimate Child

Hearing that, Victoria struggled to sit up and stared at Lionel puzzledly. “Why must you be so detail-oriented? Everyone in the world knows we were once deeply in love with each other. Even if I were to deny that, I would be lying to myself.”

Lionel shuddered when he heard that. At the same time, there was a hint of happiness in his eyes. Is she saying that she had regarded me as her husband? Does that mean her feelings were genuine when we registered for our marriage?

“Vicky—”

Victoria held up her hand to cut him off. “If transferring me your shares makes you feel better, then you should just proceed. I won't acquire the shares from you.”

Lionel got emotional, and he instinctively wanted to hug her. However, he held back and said, “Vicky, I can't undo the wrongs of the older generation, but I can atone for their sins. Your parents were most worried about you, so I'll take good care of you and let them rest in peace.”

Instead of responding to that, Victoria asked casually, “When will you be free? Let's go to City Hall to finalize our divorce.”

The smile on Lionel's face froze, but he recomposed himself immediately after. With a smile, he answered, “We can go once you've recovered. By then, I'll only be a phone call away.”

“Sure,” Victoria uttered before falling into silence.

A minute later, she urged, “Don't let Victor do whatever he wants. The more money he has, the more he'll lose control of himself. If you cut off his source of income, perhaps he'll gradually set himself back on the right path.”

As soon as Victoria mentioned Victor, Lionel recalled what Victor said to him. That fellow is crazy, and he could scheme against Victoria. Who knows what he would do in desperation?

“Okay. I understand. I'll make time to chat with him again to see if he would let me teach him how to do business.” Lionel didn't want Victor to pester Victoria, so he had no choice but to let the man bother him instead.

Victoria knew what Lionel was doing, but she didn't turn him down. Since Lionel is also a man, he'll have common topics to talk about with Victor. Who knows? Maybe Victor will get back on the right track under Lionel's influence. In truth, Lionel got it wrong. My parents were most worried about Victor because he couldn't stop causing trouble. They would be glad if Victor could turn over a new leaf.

“Thank you,” Victoria replied.

In the Hoffman residence, Philip sent a doctor to do the amniotic fluid test on Juliana and had the doctor bring the sample back to the infirmary.

As soon as they left, Juliana whipped out her phone to send Bailey a text. It read: Master, they had already taken the sample to do the test. The account number of the Hoffman family's medical system is... You must help me tamper with the results and keep everything under wraps.

After sending the text, Juliana leaned against Huntley's chest. At that moment, her heart was racing wildly because she could sense that something significant was about to happen.

Huntley lowered his gaze to look at her and uttered in a gentle tone, “Don't worry. Things aren't as bad as you think they are. In fact, everything could still turn around.”

Juliana pursed her lips and uttered pitifully, “I can't seem to feel at ease. I keep feeling something huge is about to happen. However, I know there's no use in worrying about it. I guess we can only sit tight and see what happens next.”

With that, she raised her gaze toward Huntley and asked curiously, “Why are you so committed to helping me? Don't tell me you've fallen for me at first sight. You're a rational man capable of controlling your emotions. Besides, I don't think I'm attractive enough to have you falling for me at first sight.”

Hearing that, Huntley hugged her tight and recalled his memories with a dazed look in his eyes.
