Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Gwendolyn was stumped for words.

After keeping mum for a while, she chuckled softly and said, “If she really doesn't want to give birth to a child for the Chivers family, you can just get a nephew of yours to take over the family business. Why should you end your son's dreams of being with someone he loves?”

Yoel jumped off the couch and glared at her. “What a lame idea! No! I'll never let Edmund marry that woman. Stop persuading me, will you? If you want, put your energy into persuading him to give up on being with her.”

Gwendolyn shook her head and uttered softly, “I don't want to have a fallout with my son. Unlike you, I cherish the relationship we have. I've already spent so much time and effort raising him. I don't want to watch him suffer because of romance. That's not a nice feeling.”

Her words were seemingly implying something.

Back then, that was what happened to her.

Yoel was taken aback. Through his gritted teeth, he said, “We're talking about our son here. Don't try to be sarcastic, okay?”

Gwendolyn smiled wryly and lowered her head.

No one knew what was on her mind, but she was exuding an air of melancholy, and there was tension in the air.

Yoel scratched his head and said in annoyance, “Okay. Fine. You win. Let's not talk about whether she would be willing to give the Chivers family a child. Would you be able to accept her for her involvement in plagiarism? We're both art enthusiasts, no? One of us is a pianist, while the other is into art and literature. We take copyrights seriously. If she had plagiarized someone's work blatantly, she's a person with questionable moral standards. How could she be the matriarch of the Chivers family?”

Gwendolyn furrowed her brows. She had asked Edmund about it before, and Edmund told her to believe in Bailey. Surely, it's just a misunderstanding.

“There's a trial in a few days' time, and we'll know if she had plagiarized someone's work. If she is found not guilty, your hatred toward her will be unjustified,” she answered.

Yoel gritted his teeth and said, “Fine! If she didn't plagiarize Snowflake's work, I'll take a step back and let Edmund be with her. Once she has agreed to give the Chivers family a child, I'll take another step back and let her marry into the Chivers family.”

Hearing that, Gwendolyn let out a sigh of relief. Needless to say, it wasn't easy getting her husband to compromise. Let's just hope everything develops smoothly.

Three days later, the trial for Bailey plagiarizing Snowflake's work was about to take place.

People from all walks of life were there, and the scene was filled with reporters.

The people who were allowed to enter were people of status and power. The rest could only wait outside.

Based on the principle of fairness and impartiality, the court unanimously decided to live stream the entire court session so that people from all walks of life could observe it.

Meanwhile, Felicity was having a conversation with the plaintiff's attorney in the lounge.

“Don't worry, Mrs. Luther. As long as Mr. Luther stays out of this lawsuit, we'll surely win. As for the sentence, that'll depend on Ms. Stone. After all, her mentor is an internationally-respected figure. If she were to use the influence she has internationally, the court will most probably deliver their judgment based on her suggestion,” the attorney said.

Felicity nodded and shifted her gaze toward a middle-aged man standing nearby. “Are you sure Artemis didn't contact any attorneys, and he didn't put pressure on the court?”

The middle-aged man shook his head and answered firmly, “No. Mr. Luther hasn't done anything of such in the past few days. In fact, he didn't even consult with Luther Group's legal department. He doesn't seem like he's protecting Ms. Bailey.”
