Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526

Bailey was so caught off guard by her reply that she froze up completely.

After all, no one would ever think about doing something that nasty.

“I'm sorry, what did you just say? Could you repeat that?”

Rhonda's expression grew increasingly vicious as she replied, “I could say it a million times, and it wouldn't change a thing. I want you to sleep with my father, who is also your adoptive father.”

Bailey clenched her fists as she finally understood what was going on.

My goodness... Have these two lost their minds?

She glared coldly at Clarence, who was casually sipping on a cup of coffee, and asked, “Mr. Jefferson, are you going to just sit there and let your daughter do this? Do you realize that our lives will be ruined if we end up sleeping together?”

Clarence simply lowered his gaze and remained silent.

“The outside world will think you seduced your adoptive father out of loneliness and tried to blame it all on him. What do you think of this arrangement, Bailey? Everyone will look down on you and shame you wherever you go, so you will never be able to live a normal life after this!” Rhonda continued with a sneer.

Bailey let out a chuckle in exasperation.

She had assumed that Clarence would only threaten her with the grudge between the Gezmond family and the Saunders family, but what he had in mind was far worse than that.

As Bailey felt her vision start to go blurry, she recalled the waiter she bumped into on her way to the cafe.

The waiter was pushing a cart with dozens of flowers with strong smells to hide the scent of the drug they were laced with. Because Bailey's sense of smell was lowered due to her pregnancy, she didn't detect anything off about the scent.

Ugh, I can't believe I let my guard down! I got too confident in my own abilities and ended up underestimating Clarence's level of shamelessness. To think that he would go as far as sleeping with me just to destroy me completely...

The mere thought of it disgusted Bailey so much that she felt like throwing up on the spot.

“I've made all the arrangements, Dad. The journalists that Zoey contacted are on standby. All you have to do is get yourselves naked in bed,” Rhonda said.

Bailey was so angry that her veins were bulging underneath the skin of her forehead.

Clarence slowly stood up and made his way over to her. “You ruined the lives of both my daughters, so it's time I get my revenge on you. I can't afford to let anyone threaten Zoey's position in the Shurmer family, so I have no choice but to sacrifice you.”

The look in Bailey's eyes was as cold as ice.

It was the first time she had ever gotten this mad at someone.

If she had a gun on her, she probably would have pumped the two of them full of lead on the spot.

Bailey felt a pain in her lower abdomen due to the sudden fluctuation in her emotion, but there was nothing she could do about it.

I know that using hypnosis would possibly affect my baby, but I don't have a choice. If I let these two get away with this plan of theirs, then my children and I will have to spend the rest of our lives in shame! Seducing one's adoptive father definitely won't sit well with society, and we are living in an era where the internet is filled with social media trolls. Even the slightest mistake could result in a person's downfall, let alone something as serious as this. Clarence, Rhonda, and Zoey... How dare you three set me up like this?

Bailey was so consumed by rage that she was trembling all over while the pain in her lower abdomen spread across her body.

She knew that she would most likely lose her baby, but she didn't stop what she was doing, nor did she try to quell her anger.

All Bailey could do at the moment was try her best to avenge the baby.

She endured the tearing pain as she searched Rhonda's body. After fumbling around, she found a small bottle in one of Rhonda's pockets.

Upon sniffing at it, Bailey was able to confirm that it was a highly potent aphrodisiac.

Heh... To think that these two were planning to use this stuff on me... Clarence, Rhonda, you two are going to spend the rest of your lives in a mental hospital!

After giving them both a dose of the aphrodisiac, Bailey used her last bit of consciousness to hack into Clarence's mind and erase his memories of the grudge between the two families.

After taking care of everything, Bailey stumbled toward the full-length windows and prepared to make her escape.

They must have bodyguards standing outside the door. I'm in no condition to fight them right now. I can't let them capture me, or I'd still end up having my reputation destroyed.

With that in mind, she slowly maneuvered herself along the windowsill and used a grappling hook to make her way down to the second floor. However, she lost her balance halfway through and ended up crashing into one of the private rooms.

The people inside, who were having a pleasant conversation, fell silent the moment an uninvited guest showed up.

The woman sitting at the table jumped in shock and asked in a trembling voice, “W-W-What's going on here, Mr. Shurmer?”

Zeke narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced at Bailey, who was lying on the ground. After realizing who it was, he leaped to his feet and ran up to her.

“Bay! Bay! Wake up! What happened to you?”
