Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Given how the matter developed, the entire world's attention was focused on Bailey.

They wanted to see how the biggest plagiarist in history would resolve her predicament.

Inside the hotel, Bailey threw the laptop in her hand toward Juliana, questioning coldly, “Is this your doing?”

Juliana shook her head. “No, it's not me. Even though I'm just looking to have some fun, I'm aware of where the boundaries lie. There's no way I would dig out all your past designs and allow them to be sullied by the public's condemnation.”

“It really isn't you?” Bailey narrowed her eyes. After a momentary silence, she ordered in a seething tone, “Investigate it, and find out who's behind this.”

Juliana nodded at once.

Now that Master is infuriated, those sc*ms are going to suffer the consequences.

“M-Master, once we find out who did it, what are you going to do?”

What am I going to do?

Bailey sneered before replying through gnashed teeth, “Pay them back tenfold.”

In the CEO's office of Luther Group, Stephen was standing in front of the curved desk as he reported to Artemis, “I have studied her designs from the past few years and can't deny the similarities to Snowflake's style. Mr. Luther, can it be that she is subconsciously influenced by Snowflake after seeing too many of the latter's designs?”

Artemis did not respond as he examined the designs in detail.

It was then he was even more certain of her true identity.

No matter how one's design style changes, it will never stray far from its fundamental framework, and the fundamental framework of all these designs obviously came from the same hand. This includes the winning design of The Ultimate Designer four years ago. All of these are the work of the same person.

“Ignore them and let them continue stirring the controversy. Whatever it is, Ms. Bailey will provide us with a satisfactory answer when the time comes. Until there is a conclusion, you should maintain your silence. Do not say a word to anyone with regard to whether her designs were a result of plagiarism or not.”

Stephen nodded in acknowledgment. “Okay. I'll do as you say.”

No sooner had he finished than he expressed his confusion over the matter, “I have no idea what Xavier is thinking. Even though his lead designer is being exposed for plagiarism, he's acting as if it's none of his business at all. In fact, he didn't even bother calling. All he said was that he'll leave it to headquarters to decide.”

Hearing that, Artemis curled his lips into a smile. He must have known of Bailey's identity a long time ago. That's why he couldn't be bothered.

“You had better take a leaf out of his book about how to remain calm in the face of problems. In two years, I'll send you to take charge of the Epea branch. Given how big the world is out there, you should go out and gain some exposure instead of being restricted within this small city.”

Adjusting his spectacles, Stephen nodded. “It's better that I stay by your side to learn for a few more years, as I'm not ready to manage anything independently yet.”

Amidst the sound of his tapping fingers, Artemis flatly replied, “Don't worry about it. Xavier has walked the same path as well. It would be a waste of talent if I limit your future prospects by letting you stay here as a department director for the rest of your life. Epea is a huge market and offers plenty of growth opportunities for you.”

“All right. I'll go along with your plan. Given how candid you have been, it would be rude for me to refuse.”

Meanwhile, in the living room of the Jefferson residence, Beatrice took out a document from a bag and showed it to Rhonda. “Look at what this is.”
