Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654 Secretly Executed

Artemis' fingers tightened around the stem of the wine glass.

This matter had dragged on for far too long, and his patience was at its limit.

He would have to resort to other means if they still could not find the mastermind. There was no way he would waste his time waiting like this.

It had been a long time since he last saw Bailey, so he missed her badly. She was all he could think about, day and night.

“Who?” he asked grimly.

Holden inclined his head and replied, “Sofie, the woman who swapped a prestigious family's heiress with her own daughter so that her daughter could have a better life.”

A cold gleam flashed across Artemis' eyes when he heard this.

I can't believe this woman still hasn't learned her lesson after all these years. How dare she come back to stir trouble by trying to kill Bailey? Very well. I shall have her head.

Holden continued, “As for the suicide attackers, we've run a background check on them and discovered that Leo had assigned them to his mistress. The mistress is none other than Sofie. The only reason why Sofie has so much power and influence abroad that she ended up becoming the head of an international behemoth was because of her affiliation with Leo.”

Artemis nodded, considering these facts. “That makes sense. Seems like all our questions are answered. Yvette kidnapped Justin and Veronique to use them as leverage against Bailey, so we'll have Bailey go after her and deliberately fall into her trap. That will give us an opportunity to eradicate Sofie, Yvette and all their forces.”

“Roger that. I'll make the arrangements immediately and try to keep Justin and Veronique as safe as possible,” Holden replied dutifully. “As for Bailey...”

Waving his hand dismissively, Artemis cut Holden off by saying, “You don't have to worry about her. She's a sharp one; she already knows that I didn't really lose my memory, and she knows that I won't let Justin and Veronique get hurt, either. She'll definitely take precautions to ensure her own safety.”

Holden did not say anything further after that and turned to leave.

However, he had barely taken a few steps toward the door when Artemis stopped him. “Hey, remember those dirtbags who framed your sister for leaking highly-classified information on the organization? We've managed to track them down, and we'll have them captured soon. We'll clear your sister's name in no time.”

Without looking back, Holden continued toward the door and said solemnly, “Thanks.”

Meanwhile, over at Philip's dwelling unit at the Hoffman residence, Philip was enjoying tea in his tearoom when Tucker suddenly burst in and said, “Father, a reliable source tells me that Shirley was not pregnant with Zeke's child at all. Now that she's suffered a miscarriage, the Shurmer family and the Gourd family has severed ties with each other! Therefore, Zeke was probably being strategic when he said he'd give up on Juliana. He'll find a way to save her for sure!”

Philip set down the teacup in his hand and frowned at Tucker, asking, “What will happen if Juliana leaves the Hoffman family?”

Tucker clenched his jaw and spoke grimly. “She and Huntley both know too many of the Hoffman family's secrets, including how and where our forces are distributed abroad. In other words, she has the information needed to eradicate our family. If we let Zeke take her and they collude on taking us down, then we'd be at a huge disadvantage.”

Philip narrowed his eyes in thought.

He knew Tucker's worries were justified.

Huntley had previously been in charge of half the Hoffman family's forces.

After Juliana returned to the family, Raymond had been slowly assigning the remaining forces to her.
