Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 93

If I don't advise her, who would? I can't possibly watch her waste her entire life ahead of her, can I?

How could I do that?

“No matter how much you love him, the fact is that he had already gotten a family of his own now.

Perhaps you could still wish for him to come back to you before this, but from now onward, get rid of all

those thoughts. Live your life to the fullest, okay? You can't just give up on your life just because

someone leaves you. That's not how the world works. Of course, if you still decide to take your own life

after this, I won't stop you. You're an adult, so you have to be responsible for your own actions.

However, who's going to suffer if you die? Lionel has had his fair share of heartbreak. Do you want him

to feel guilty for the rest of his life?” Bailey was blunt and direct with her words.

However, her honesty was something Victoria needed the most at that moment.

Victoria then lifted her head from Bailey's embrace. Her face was still smudged with tears, but she had

already stopped crying. “Bring me back to my room. I'm so tired, and I need a good sleep.”

Bailey smiled. This is the Victoria I know. She's strong, and she knows how to keep her emotions in

check. Hopefully, she'll be able to walk away from that dark past of hers. No matter how long she takes.

Be it a couple of years or a decade, at least now there's hope.

The following morning, Bailey received a notification from the court telling her that the trial would begin

in three days' time. There, the court would decide if she had committed plagiarism.

She replied: I'll be there on time.

Felicity had taken Zayron's blood samples from police registries and given them to the medical teams

working for Luther Group. In the end, she was infuriated by the results she had gotten. All the results

show that Edmund is the biological father of that b*stard child! This must be Artemis' doing! He used

his position as the head of Luther Group and ordered all the medical teams to come to the same

conclusion, saying those two are biologically connected.

Bang! Crash! Thud!

Smashing sounds rang throughout every corner of the living room. Felicity was so angry that she

smashed everything on top of the coffee table. “What a treacherous son! What a treacherous son!”

Caridee quickly approached her and patted her back. “Mom, calm down! You have to take care of your This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

health.”

With her trembling fingers, Felicity pointed at the reports on the ground and gritted her teeth. “Those

eight reports have the same set of serial numbers! How ridiculous is that? Because of that woman with

a bad reputation, my son is publicly challenging me! How am I supposed to calm down? Why should I?”

Caridee pursed her lips and pondered for a while. “Mom, I don't think it's nice to kick someone when

they're down. Bailey has lawsuits to deal with now. We really shouldn't make things worse for her. The

others will call us—”

“Shut up!” Felicity roared. “Bailey has committed plagiarism, and she had nearly ruined your reputation.

You're the victim here! Why are you backing her up? Have you been captivated by her charm as well?”

Caridee felt rather helpless. “Mom, I've never interacted with her. Why would I be captivated by her? It's

just that I know Artemis and Edmund are protecting her. If you don't let it go, you might tear the family

apart.”

“That's a risk I'm willing to take to chase that woman out of Hallsbay! She must leave so that we can

protect the Luther family and the Chivers family's bloodlines. If either one of them marries this woman,

someone else will have control over the family. How could I let that happen?”

“Okay. Fine. I know you have your concerns, but Artemis and Edmund are set in their ways, too. Since

Artemis doesn't want you to make an article about the paternity test, why don't you just put it aside

temporarily? You can do that in the future. Why must you have a fallout with him just because of this

conflict?”

Felicity narrowed her eyes and thought about it for a while. With a nod, she said, “You're right. Since

this matter's not going anywhere, I'll just put it aside for a while. If Bailey doesn't end up in jail, I'll bring

this up again. In a way, I'm hedging my bets.”

Caridee heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

At last, she managed to calm Felicity down.

She wasn't feeling bad for Bailey. Instead, she just didn't want to see her mother and brother having a

fallout.

Meanwhile, in the CEO office of Luther Group, Dwayne opened the door, walked in, and said, “Mr.

Luther, the court had set a date for trial.”

“When is it?”

“In three days' time. Ms. Jefferson hasn't done anything else. In fact, she hasn't even employed a

defense attorney. What is she up to?”

Artemis smiled and played with the pen in his hand. A mysterious glint appeared in his eyes when he

uttered, “We don't even know if a trial can be held. Why would she need a defense attorney?”

“What?” Dwayne was confused. He frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

Artemis waved his hand in dismissal and answered, “You don't have to know about that. I told you to

get Simon back to Hallsbay, right? What did he say?”

You don't want to tell me? Fine. In three days' time, I'll be at the court and see for myself. I would like to

see what Ms. Bailey has up her sleeves. Dwayne answered, “He said he needs to go over to Old Mr.

Chivers' and bring him to Hallsbay as well.”

Artemis narrowed his eyes slightly and furrowed his brows. “Old Mr. Chivers is coming back as well?”

Dwayne rolled his eyes and answered, “Since your sister is his granddaughter, he said he has to come

back. Besides, Caridee is the only girl in her generation. It's only natural that Old Mr. Chivers dotes on

her.”

“Noted. Go and arrange a private plane for them. Also, send a medical team there. Old Mr. Chivers has

health issues, so I'm worried something might happen. He's an old man, so we need to take care of

him,” Artemis ordered.

In the study of the Chivers mansion, Gwendolyn advised, “I've already called Father, and he said he's

coming to Hallsbay in a couple of days' time. If he doesn't stop Ed from pursuing Bay, you shouldn't

either, okay? Just let Ed be. Otherwise, you're going to have a fallout with your son.”

Yoel had just calmed himself down, and he got pissed again when he heard that. “Are you saying that

I'm overreacting? Isn't he your son as well? Do you really want him to marry a woman with two kids?

What if she doesn't want to give birth anymore after this? Is Edmund going to let her son be the heir of

Chivers Group? Our family has a few centuries of history. Do you want the family to come to an end in

his generation?”

Gwendolyn sighed and uttered patiently, “That's just your assumption. I think she's a smart lady, and

she knows what's best. If she marries into the Chivers family, I think she's going to have a child with

Ed.”

“What if she doesn't want to? Are you going to force her?”
