Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 1095

Chapter 1095 Am I Really That Despicable?

The smile on Faceless' lips deepened as she leaned in to whisper a few words into Black Puma's ear.

Upon hearing Faceless' words, Black Puma frowned and asked, "Can this really incite internal strife

among them, buying me time to withdraw? For a man of power and influence like Artemis, isn't it quite

normal to have several women at his side? Even if he has some kind of ambiguous relationship with

Rebecca, Bailey should be able to accept it, right? After all, it's natural for a man to flirt around."

Faceless shook her head with a smile, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "You're overestimating

Bailey. She gets jealous easily. If Artemis truly wronged her, she could turn Zaewora upside down,

causing a huge uproar. When she attempts to hold Artemis responsible, she won't have the time to

compete with you. You just need to withdraw from Zaewora as originally planned."

Only after she repeatedly assured him that nothing would go wrong did Black Puma finally put his mind

at ease.

"What do I need to do for you?"

"Nothing, Mr. Black Puma. All I ask is that you keep your promise and lend me a hand when I capture

Bailey. What I want is not power, money, or territory. All I want is something that Bailey holds in her

hands. Let's make this a win-win situation."

The Black Puma laughed heartily, his hands starting to fidget.

Faceless suppressed the urge to knock him off with a punch, allowing him to have his way.

Bailey, you still couldn't resist coming to Zaewora, could you? Very well, I'll present you with a grand gift

tonight. I hope you'll like it.

Inside Artemis' accommodation study, Ken reported the situation at Xemrich's winery to Artemis.

"Mr. Luther, Faceless has appeared. She entered from a hot spring pool at the southwest corner of the

winery, avoiding all surveillance. We were only able to track her whereabouts through satellite images.

We can confirm that it's her."

As for the Black Puma, he hasn't shown up yet. It's also possible that her visit to the winery wasn't to

see the Black Puma, but to meet with Orion."

Artemis gently tapped on the table, squinting as he asked, "Are you suggesting she hid Orion in this

winery?"

Ken nodded and said, "We've searched all over Zaewora and still haven't found Orion. He might be

hidden in Black Puma's main camp, but the likelihood of this happening is slim. After all, Faceless is

not foolish. She understands the risks involved in bargaining with someone dangerous. How could she

possibly hand over her only bargaining chip to the Black Puma? If I were her, I would definitely keep

the hostage's whereabouts under tight wraps, not letting anyone else know. After all, that's her only

bargaining chip to threaten Mrs. Luther."

Artemis nodded, seemingly agreeing with the analysis.

No matter who was hidden in the winery, he was determined to find out.

He had been in Zaewora for a week now, and there had been absolutely no progress on the mission.

This was something that would have been unthinkable in the past.

During his tenure, he never took more than ten days to suppress a faction. Typically, he would have his

trap set within a week, and all he had to do was wait.

Now, he didn't even know where his target was, let alone set a trap for them.

"Get ready. We're leaving in an hour."

"Understood." Ken thought of Rebecca, then asked, "What about Ms. Sutton? Should we inform her?"

"No need." Informing her would only bring trouble for myself.

Bailey arrived at her destination, Ordano, at two in the afternoon.

Although the country was not large, it was internationally renowned as an oil exporter with a thriving

maritime trade due to its location along a strategic gulf.

The convenience of sea transport and the possibility of smuggling was the main reason why Black

Puma had set up his main base there.

The private jet landed in the suburbs of Mocset, the capital of Ordano. Bailey had used the Shurmer

family's air freight route. To the outside world, it was just the Shurmer family transporting medicine

supplies, so it didn't cause any stir.

When Bailey got off the plane, Cassius had already figured out the situation clearly.

"Ms. Bailey, if you truly wish to visit the winery, I must make proper arrangements. Mr. Artemis has

instructed that your safety must be guaranteed at all times."

Bailey remained silent, carefully studying the laptop that was handed to her.

The information above was quite detailed, and she wanted to understand it as much as possible.

"Has Mr. Luther taken action yet? Is Rebecca accompanying him?"

Mr. Cassius nodded and said, "Mr. Luther is also investigating the situation. He hasn't taken any action

yet. As soon as he does, someone will immediately report to me. You don't need to worry."

Bailey nodded slightly, slowly reaching down to caress her belly. The usual coldness in her eyes faded,

replaced by a faint glimmer of tender affection.

Sweetheart, we're about to see Daddy soon. Are you excited?

Even though it had only been a week since they parted, Bailey felt as if an eternity had passed. Her

heart was itching with impatience. She couldn't wait to see him, to rush into his arms, and to tell him

that she was pregnant.

"Cassius, do you really think Mr. Luther is involved with Rebecca?"

Cassius furrowed his brows.

If one were to ask him how to kill, he could give an informed answer due to his rich experience.

However, when it came to judging someone's character, it was too much to ask due to his lack of

expertise.

"Although I've only met Mr. Luther a few times, my strongest impression of him is his ascetic nature. He

leads a clean and virtuous life, with hardly any women around him. Over the years, there's been almost

no gossip about him, so I wonder if his past with Rebecca was a misunderstanding, or perhaps just a

charade.

You know, life can sometimes leave one without a choice. He might have needed Ms. Sutton's help,

which is why he put himself in a situation that makes others wrongly assume that he's in a relationship

with her. Since you've come all the way to Zaewora, there's no point in worrying over nothing. Just

make sure to investigate the matter thoroughly, and most importantly, don't let this issue affect the

relationship between you two."

Bailey smiled. "You always have a clear perspective. That's probably why my brother assigned you to

me. Alright, I don't have any more questions. Go ahead and make the arrangements. Later, come with

me to the winery in Xemrich."

"Got it."

Amidst his busy schedule, Artemis didn't forget the conversation he had with Simon and made it a point

to call Sylvester.

His intention was straightforward - to warn Sylvester not to bother Bailey anymore, or else he would

face the consequences.

Sylvester was already in a foul mood, and now, his friend's absurd actions had completely infuriated

him. He asked honestly, "Artemis, am I really that terrible?"

Artemis sneered, "I'm surprised that you acknowledge your own despicable behavior. Well, at least that

means there's still hope for you. Sylvester, you went about it the wrong way from the beginning. Micah

hurt Shannon to protect her, while Justin hurt Veronique to keep her safe. Now ask yourself honestly,

why did you hurt Rainie in the first place? She has suffered both physically and emotionally from such a

devastating blow. Not only did you fail to comfort and protect her, but you forced her to disfigure herself

and expelled her to a nightclub where her dignity was stripped away. I won't go into what happened

next, as it's too painful to discuss. In short, everything you've done is utterly despicable. There's no

redemption for your sins. It's a hopeless situation now, so don't hold onto too many expectations. The

moment you chose to give up Rainie for Karina, you destroyed any remaining hope you had."

Sylvester's heavy breathing could be heard over the phone, each inhalation and exhalation seemingly

filled with anguish.
