Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77

Juliana curved her brows, and a glint of mischief shone in her eyes as a menacing smile broke out on her face.

“You mean you want to teach them a good lesson?” she asked.

Zayron blinked at her in agreement and went closer to whisper something in her ear.

“That's a great idea!” Juliana exclaimed as she smacked the table, knocking over the coffee cup on the table.

Zayron recoiled back and glared at the woman in disdain. “Can you please be gentle? Stop giving me a shock like this!”

Juliana pinched his cheek and grinned. “I love the idea. Don't you worry! I'll harness my finest acting skill. I'll send them to the sky and see them drop from above.”

Okay. I'm starting to regret asking this crazy woman to come to Hallsbay. I hope this is not a mistake. Please don't mess things up for me.

Over at the Luther residence, Felicity was having a talk with Caridee on the couch.

“Mom, has the public relations department reached out to Snowflake?” Caridee asked.

Felicity looked tired after having to deal with Bailey for two days.

On the one hand, she had to make sure that Bailey did not solicit help from Artemis; on the other, she had to ensure Bailey did not seduce Edmund. There was just too much on her plate.

“There's no news yet. It's as if she's vanished into thin air. No one seems to be able to contact her. We can't even find any information about her. I'm starting to doubt if she even exists,” Felicity replied.

Caridee felt relieved. She thought for a few moments and suggested, “Mom, why not we just let this slide? Maybe she saw Snowflake's design before, and that somehow influenced her own design when she was drawing. I mean, we can indeed see glimpses of Snowflake's design in her work, but this is not going to affect me substantially, so maybe we can just put this behind us.”

“No,” Felicity protested outright. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to send her to jail. You have no idea how arrogant she is. I'll see if she can still act so recklessly once she's behind bars.”

“But... she's not that bad. We still can't find Snowflake up till now, so it's probably meant to be. Why don't we just go with the flow and let her go?” Caridee argued.

Felicity was about to lecture her when her phone on the table rang.

Is it about Snowflake?

She picked up and asked right away, “How's it going? Did y'all find her?”

“I'm sorry, Mrs. Luther. We searched every nook and cranny for her, but we still couldn't find her. However, we do have something about Juliana Stone, her mentee.”

“Oh!” Thrill spread across Felicity's face. “Where is she?”

“She's at a five-star hotel in Hallsbay. I think she's here to settle the issue on behalf of her mentor. I think we can still get the proxy to file a case and press charges once we convince her.”

Felicity grasped her phone tightly. “Reach out to her. Tell her I'm inviting her to tea today.”

“Right away.”

Felicity sneered after hanging up the call. “Meant to be, you said, Caridee? Hell, no. They've found Snowflake's mentee, Juliana. We just need her to stand in place of Snowflake as the plaintiff. Bailey's not walking away with impunity this time!”
