Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 860

Chapter 860 Disrespect And Betrayal

After snapping out of her daze, Tamara marched to the side of the bed and grasped Bailey's arm.

“You've come at the right time, b*tch! Undo the dream-tailoring skill on my husband this instant.

Otherwise, I'll throw you in jail and let you rot your life away.”

Bailey curled her lips into a half smile. “You're the classy and dignified first lady, Mrs. Fletcher. Could

you please refrain from constantly name-calling others? It really reflects poorly on your upbringing.”

“You...” Tamara uttered, a glint in her eye as she spun toward the door. “Call the police chief and get

him to come to the Fletcher residence! Let's see who can save you from this. Be prepared to rot in jail if

you don't cure my husband today. Of course, even if you managed to save my husband, it doesn't

mean you can escape punishment. I'll see to it that you receive a long prison sentence!”

The sneer on Bailey's face deepened as she abruptly shoved Tamara away. “Ha. Let's see if you can

successfully send me to jail first. After all, it's easy for anyone to talk big. I've heard so many people

brag, and I'm sick of it.

“How dare you! I—”

However, before Tamara could finish her rant, Bailey interrupted, “To tell you the truth, your husband

could've easily woken up with a snap of my fingers and a couple of needles in the appropriate

acupoints. “Alas, you've severed his connection with me because of all this hoo-ha. Well... I'm afraid NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

your husband's life is hanging by a thread now.”

Tamara widened her eyes as she stared at Bailey in disbelief. “W-What do you mean by that? Are you

saying you can't undo the dream-tailoring skill?” she asked shakily.

With a smirk, Bailey shrugged her shoulders and pointed at Lindsay. “If I'm not mistaken, she must've

tried using her mediocre art of perfumery to cure Mr. Fletcher. Sadly, her attempt has ruined the

dreamland, and I can no longer fix it.”

Unable to bear the brunt of the terrible news, Tamara staggered backward and turned to glare at

Lindsay.

“You! You're the one who snuffed out the last glimmer of hope for my husband's recovery. I'll drag you

to court and sentence you to death!”

Needless to say, Lindsay's expression changed drastically.

What? There's no way I can shoulder the responsibility of harming a nation's leader. Besides, my art of

perfumery can't affect this b*tch's dream-tailoring skill. She's accusing me purely to mess with me! Oh,

Josiah, look at this ingrate you've raised... Not only does she lack gratitude, but she has also turned

her back on your widow and daughter! How can you rest in peace knowing that? If given another

chance, would you still pass on your dream-tailoring skill to this evil woman?

“You're a treacherous woman, Bailey. You've disrespected and betrayed your master! I am Josiah's

widow, your master's wife, yet you still dare to defame me. Don't you think you've let your master

down? Don't you think you've brought shame to his dream-tailoring skill?”

A trace of mockery instantly flashed across Bailey's eyes.

Ha. If only this mother and daughter behaved themselves and weren't so malicious, I'd have passed on

the dream-tailoring skill to Yolanda. However, given their temperament, imparting the skill to them

would inevitably lead to serious trouble in the future.

As it turned out, Josiah had chosen to give Bailey the burden of the skill to keep his wife and daughter

safe for the rest of their lives.

After all, a person's talent would always arouse the envy of others.

If either Lindsay or Yolanda had mastered the dream-tailoring skill, they'd become everyone's target

and meet a tragic end.

Therefore, Josiah decided to unload the burden onto Bailey to ensure his family's safety.

“You have no self-respect and constantly put me in harm's way. How do you expect me to regard you

as an elder?” Bailey scoffed before walking toward the door.

Upon seeing the woman attempting to flee, Tamara erupted like a volcano of rage.

“Both of you can forget about escaping! If anything happens to my husband, I'll throw you in jail for a

long time! Is everyone outside dead or what? Get in here and catch them!”

To Tamara's surprise, no one replied her or even responded to her orders.

Seconds later, Raiden entered the room.

“You've gotten yourself too riled up. Benson, please escort my mother out and prepare some honey

lemon tea to calm her down.”

“You...” Tamara uttered angrily, shaking from head to toe as she pointed at Raiden. “They're harming

your father, for goodness' sake! Why would you still try to defend them? Are you trying to rebel? Do you

want to destroy your reputation and live in infamy?”

Raiden shot her a cold glance. “I'm only here to protect Bailey. As for Mrs. Gibson, you can do as you

please.”

“You...”

By then, Bailey couldn't be bothered to waste more time with the insufferable woman. She needed to

go after Catherine, especially since she had a nagging feeling that she was the real target behind the

latter's actions toward Sloan.

“Raiden, I have some things to take care of first. Let's keep in touch over the phone.”

After walking a few steps out of the room, she suddenly stopped and instructed, “By the way, don't let

anyone else disturb your father again. He can't take any more stress.”

Raiden nodded. “Please be careful. Catherine Rogers isn't one to be trifled with.”

Bailey curled her lips into a smile.

Oh... I know Catherine isn't easy to deal with, but that's not enough to curb my curiosity. In fact, I'm

looking forward to seeing what Ms. Rogers has to offer.

Upon leaving the infirmary and bumping into Artemis, Bailey hastily asked, “Have you sent someone to

follow Catherine?”

Artemis' expression was somewhat complex, and it was clear that he was hesitating to speak.

Bailey cocked her head and raised her brows. “Is Catherine that tricky to handle? What have you found

out about her?”

Instead of replying, Artemis pulled out his phone from his pocket and handed it to her.

Bailey promptly took it and clicked on the mailbox. After reading the only email inside, she, too, had a

strange expression on her face.

“She... This... Is this for real?”

Artemis nodded. “I called Simon, and he confirmed it with me.”

With that, a devil-may-care grin tugged at Bailey's lips.

Well, well, well. This plot twist sure has shocked the hell out of me!

“Where is she now?”

“Dellmoor Hotel.”

“Come on. Let's go meet her.”

Meanwhile, in a luxury suite at Dellmoor Hotel, Catherine sat by the bed and stared blankly at her

daughter lying on it.

That face... Luna resembles the man called Simon Luther so much that I was convinced he was her

father when I first saw him... We came to Hallsbay purely to fulfill Luna's only wish, but alas, I'm terrible

at expressing myself and couldn't communicate with that man at all. To make matters worse, my

appearance seemed to have affected his relationship with his girlfriend. That was never my intention!

However, now that things have come to this point, I can only try my best to minimize my presence... If

need be, I'd gladly explain the situation to his girlfriend and promise never to disrupt their lives.

Just then, Luna's muffled voice reached Catherine's ears, pulling the latter out of her reverie. “Mommy,

am I dying soon?”

Catherine instinctively held out a hand and ruffled the little girl's hair. “Don't spout nonsense. Your

grandparents, uncle, and I are all finding ways to save you. You'll be fine. I promise.”

The little girl pouted as her gaze darkened.

Hmph. Mommy is telling lies. She wouldn't have taken me out to find Daddy if I had a chance to live.

“Mommy, you brought me out here to fulfill my wish, didn't you? I know you did, but Daddy doesn't like

me. I've been in Hallsbay for so long, yet he hasn't come to see me...”

With that, Luna began to sob.
