Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067 Fallen Into The Web Of Love

The following day, Zara made a trip to the Bureau of Intangible Cultural Heritage, where she spent half

an hour chatting with the senior executives.

She appeared cold and calm as she walked out. Her heart, which had been somewhat wavering, had

now turned firm and resolute.

Bailey is right. I must never let anyone bully the Yrina family. The Strasson family is in cahoots with the

organizers and marginalizing the Yrina family, ready to kick us out anytime. Since that's the case, all

the more I must win this competition.

After Zara's departure, the in charge of the Bureau of Intangible Cultural Heritage called the daughter

of the Strasson family, Melanie, informing her about the Yrina family's intention to send Zara to the

competition.

In a coffee shop on the corner of the street, Melanie sat inside a private room, casually fidgeting with

her cup of tea as she indifferently remarked, “Zara. They've actually sent out Zara. It seems like they

still refuse to let things be.”

In the Yrina family, Zara's embroidery skills were only second to Yrinasion Muse. Though not extremely

powerful, she was still not someone to be trifled with.

“How many of them arrive in Hallsbay? Is it just Zara alone?”

“I'm not sure about that. Whatever it is, I know she came to the Bureau of Intangible Cultural Heritage

alone just now. No one accompanied her.”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Knitting her brows, Melanie tossed the teaspoon in her grip and coldly uttered, “Go investigate, then.

Dig out every detail about Zara's background.”

“Understood.”

After ending the call, Melanie swept the stuff off the table. A chilling, murderous intent gleamed in her

eyes.

I thought the Yrina family would back off on their own and give up on the competition this time. But who

knows? They actually accepted the invitation and even deployed an expert like Zara. I might not

necessarily be a match for Zara. After all, Yrinasion embroidery is more influential in the outside world.

I might possibly lose this time.

Crack.

The doorknob turned, and instinctively, Melanie looked up.

Karina walked in with a crossbody bag. “You came really early, Melanie. I'm not late, am I?” she said

with a smile.

Melanie glanced at her indifferently and retracted her gaze. Then, she picked up the teaspoon and

continued sipping on her tea.

“No. I'm the one who came early. But even if you were late, it wouldn't matter. After all, I was the one

who stood you up and made you wait for half an hour last night because something came up last

minute.”

Karina calmly walked over and sat down opposite Melanie. “You're too kind, Melanie. It doesn't matter

whether we met last night or today; it's all the same. I wonder if anything's the matter that you'd ask me

out?”

Melanie froze abruptly, recalling the phone call from earlier.

With Zara's participation in the competition, my chances of winning will be greatly lowered. If I want to

turn the tide, I'm afraid my best bet is to shift my focus to Bailey. After all, the purpose of the

competition is to find her an embroiderer. Her opinion is crucial. If I can win Bailey's favor, then I'll be

able to rest easy.

“I believe you've heard of the Strasson family's predicament from Aunt Isabelle, didn't you? Karina, you

have to help me win over Bailey. Our success or failure now hinges on a single thought from her.”

Karina did not accept or reject Melanie's request. Instead, she reminded the latter, “I only had a few

encounters with Bailey. I wouldn't say I know her well. It'll be a challenge to win her over. But if you

have any good ideas, Melanie, I don't mind trying it out. After all, I've wanted to get on good terms with

Bailey.”

A scowl marred Melanie's countenance. In truth, her knowledge of Bailey was limited. All she knew was

how the latter was a formidable woman. Why would I have to call her over if I have a solution?

“Karina, I'm asking you to help me out now, not the other way round. You have to solve it yourself if you

face any problems. All I want from you is results.”

“Then let's take a detour and try to please Mrs. Shurmer. She loves wearing gowns. All the embroidery

on her gowns is done by the Strasson family's embroiderers, so much so that she thought of them first

when making a wedding gown for her daughter. Compared to Zara, you have an advantage because

Mrs. Shurmer has acknowledged you.”

Melanie was stunned.

She had completely forgotten about that matter.

Right. Mrs. Shurmer has had quite a number of gowns tailor-made at Strassonian Embroidery Studio

all these years. She's very pleased with our studio. If I can win over Mrs. Shurmer, then it wouldn't be a

problem winning over Bailey.

“You sure are smart and dexterous, aren't you? No wonder Sylvester is being played around like a fool

by you, and Rainie also ends up in a terrible plight. Karina, you better control yourself. Don't use such

despicable tactics on me, or else I'll make sure there's no peace and comfort ahead of you.”

After saying that, Melanie slowly stood up, grabbed her handbag from the table, and strode toward the

door.

However, just as she reached the door, she spotted Karina still sitting on the couch. A look of

displeasure crossed her face. “Why are you still sitting there in a daze? Hurry and follow behind me.

Let's go visit Mrs. Shurmer together.”

...

Meanwhile, inside a room in the Shurmer residence, Bailey was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling

window, answering a phone call. It was from Cameron.

“Jefferson, what on earth have you given me? It not only took me to a tropical rainforest, but it also

lurked in the bushes all day. Don't tell me Blaze is hiding in the primeval forest?”

Bailey furrowed her brows. Tropical rainforest? Lurked in the bushes? D*mn... Why does this sound so

strange? There's no way Blaze is hiding in the forest. I guess the goshawk I gave Cameron must've got

an issue.

“Take a picture and send it to me. I'll have a look at it.”

A moment later, Cameron sent over an animated image, presumably taken from his private jet. There

were clouds of swirling mist everywhere, with a vague silhouette of a goshawk circling above a dense

forest.

Those goshawks were trained by Bailey, so naturally, she knew them very well.

Now that she saw the sight of the goshawk flapping its wings excitedly, the corners of her lips could not

help but twitch uncontrollably.

How could I forget? It's spring now, the season of proliferation.

Goshawks mostly originated from tropical rainforests. When they returned to their homeland and

encountered another goshawk that met their eyes, they would completely let themselves go.

So, even she couldn't summon a goshawk that had fallen into the web of love.

“Um... I'll have someone send you another one. It might have found a wife for itself and doesn't want to

fly anymore.”

Cameron's face grew as dark as thunder.

So, I haven't even found myself a wife, but that goshawk has already beat me to it? F*ck!

“I'll shoot it dead on the spot!”

This is so infuriating!

Suppressing her urge to laugh, Bailey reassured, “Please don't. I'm still relying on it to bring me a

clutch of hatchlings. Cameron, where do you think Blaze will go? If you two truly love each other, even

without a goshawk to lead the way, you'll still be able to find her in the vast sea of people. I'm now

somewhat relieved I didn't teach her the disguise skill. Otherwise, you might never be able to find her in

your lifetime.”

The phone screen reflected Cameron's cold expression.

“She's stubborn. Her departure from me was as relentless and persistent as her pursuit of me all these

years. I have no idea where she's gone. I've paid too little attention to her all these years. Every time I

think of it, my heart aches unbearably. This is probably the retribution the heavens have given me.”

After some thought, Bailey suggested, “How about you resort to extreme measures, then? Artemis is in

Zaewora. You should go and meet up with him. If you get into a dangerous situation, I'm sure Blaze

won't just stand by and do nothing.”

This is what we call a strategic retreat to advance further.

Cameron snorted icily. “You're trying to trick me into helping your man, aren't you?”
