Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 1072

Chapter 1072 A Caring Man

The stock market of Saunders Group plummeted overnight, hitting the limit down.

Even though Victoria had made a public statement, there was a mysterious force behind the scenes

deliberately stirring up trouble, firmly branding Saunders Group as unscrupulous merchants.

If Victoria could not produce evidence to prove her innocence within the stipulated time, this turmoil

was likely to bring about a catastrophic disaster for Saunders Group.

Even if Bailey, Lionel and others intended to help her, they couldn't restore the tarnished image of

Saunders Group in the eyes of the vast consumer base.

After all, in the future, Saunders Group would have to rely on the market to survive. If the entire market

began to ostracize a single company, then that company would essentially have no place in the

business world.

The Shurmer residence.

Bailey's courtyard.

Last night, she was worried that Victoria would be attacked by forces lurking in the shadows. Therefore,

after discussing countermeasures with her at Saunders Group headquarters, she brought her back to RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

the Shurmer residence.

Initially, she thought that Victoria would need a few days to gradually recover. However, after several

months of battling in the business world, this woman had indeed changed a lot.

She was far from being upset or distressed. Actually, she had a night full of pleasant dreams and

enjoyed a comfortable sleep.

If it weren't for the fact that she was lying right next to her, witnessing with her own eyes how this

woman slept soundly throughout the night, she would never have believed that her self-healing ability

could be so powerful.

“You didn't sleep well last night, Bay. Hmm, you've regressed and not even as good as me now.”

Victoria emerged from the bathroom with a face mask on. Her tone was gentle.

Bailey leaned against the head of the bed. She couldn't help but laugh in resignation.

She had indeed regressed, her composure was not as good as it used to be.

“Alright. You've had a good night's sleep, so your mind must be clear now. Have you figured out who's

trying to harm you?”

Swish.

Victoria forcefully pulled open the heavy curtains, and said lightly, “In the past two months, I've only

offended one person, and I know she would go to such great lengths to harm me.”

Hearing that, Bailey was thoroughly convinced that she had calmed down. At this moment, she was

more lucid than ever before.

“Alright. Now that you know who's messing with you, don't show them any mercy. In Hallsbay, you have

the support of the Luther family, the Shurmer family, and the Gezmond family. There's no need for you

to be timid.”

“You know the saying 'beat someone at their own game or give them the taste of their own medicine',

right? I don't need to teach you that. Go ahead and do what you need to do. If you encounter any

difficulties, come to me. I've got your back.”

A hint of sharp light flashed in Victoria's eyes. “Thank you, rest assured, I'm not so easily defeated. I

will return the problems they have created for me and Saunders Group tenfold or even a hundredfold.”

With a smile playing on her lips, Bailey gracefully got up and strolled towards the restroom.

If Victoria managed to successfully navigate through this crisis, she would undoubtedly excel in the

business world thereafter. She would be able to handle all sorts of overt and covert challenges with

swift decisiveness.

Ten minutes later, the two left the room, ready to have breakfast in the main house.

As soon as they descended the stairs, they saw Zeke sitting on the sofa with a newspaper, seemingly

waiting for them.

Victoria walked straight up and bowed her head before she said, “Mr. Shurmer, I am truly sorry. The

recent turmoil within Saunders Group has unfortunately impacted the reputation of Shurmer Group.”

“But rest assured, I will definitely find a way to prove my innocence. I will never let the reputation that

the Shurmer family has built over many years be tarnished.”

Zeke waved his hand and said, “I'm only responsible for transportation, as per the contract we signed

initially. As for the quality of the product, it's not within Shurmer Group's scope of consideration.

“Even though there are some insignificant jesters out there trying to exploit this situation and undermine

the strength of Shurmer Group's, they are simply not at the same level. They cannot shake the

foundation of the Shurmer family.

“Besides, the Shurmer family isn't in the logistics business. We're in pharmaceuticals. Those who rely

on Shurmer Group's modern medicine wouldn't target the Shurmer family over such a trivial matter.”

Zeke gave a gentle smile.

Oh, Zeke is truly a gentleman.

He was worried that Victoria might be burdened with concerns. So, he purposely waited here this

morning, just to give her a dose of reassurance, so she wouldn't have to worry too much.

Over the years, Bailey had experienced a dearth of familial affection. She had never had the tender

love of parents or siblings. Now, she had a brother who cared for her deeply after she returned to her

family. It could be said that her hardships had finally come to an end and replaced by sweetness in live.

If Victoria's brother had even a fraction of Zeke's abilities, how could he have ended up in jail?

“Alright. Since Mr. Shen has put it that way, I won't be overly modest. Thank you for your understanding

and tolerance. Once this matter is settled, our cooperation will continue.”

Zeke spoke in a gentle tone, “Of course, I wouldn't break the agreement unilaterally. The penalty for

breach of contract is too high. It's not worth it.”

Victoria chuckled and turned to Bailey, saying, “Bay, I won't stay for breakfast. There's a whole heap of

mess waiting for me to sort out at the office.”

Bailey waved her hand dismissively, a look of distaste on her face. “Get lost,” she said, “Just seeing

you annoys me. I've been up all night, and there you are, sleeping soundly without a care in the world.”

Err...

After Victoria left, Bailey couldn't help but sigh. “The once unrestrained and flamboyant Victoria has

ultimately been worn down by reality. Although she is very tough now, it truly makes one's heart ache

seeing her fighting this battle.

After enduring so many hardships, Bailey at least still had Artemis, her children, and now, her parents

and brother too.

What about Victoria?

Other than a heart weathered by trials and a body scarred by wounds, what else did she have in this

world?

Lionel was her cousin, and Victoria was her best friend. They were truly in love with each other. There

was no one in this world who hoped for them to be together more than she did.

But between them lay a sea of deep seeded hatred. The grudges of the previous generation were too

strong. Bailey was neither a victim nor was she part of the family, so what right did she have to

persuade Victoria to accept Lionel again?

“Zeke, let's give Mom a chance to talk to Victoria, okay? Uncle and auntie have already left. Now, Mom

is the only close elder relative Lionel has. Let her talk to Victoria. At the very least, it can show the

sincerity of the Gezmond family.”

Zeke pondered for a moment, then nodded. “Alright, I'll talk to Mom about it later. By the way, did you

know that Artemis was ambushed in Zaewora yesterday?”

Bailey's face changed instantly, and she asked anxiously, “Is he alright?”

Yesterday, she was busy dealing with Victoria's matters all day. She simply had no time to check her

messages or anything.

Therefore, she truly had no idea that Artemis was ambushed.

Black Puma was an ambitious individual, capable of establishing himself in Zaewora quickly, and even

Interpol couldn't nail him. Just for this, she respected him as he was really something.

Nevertheless, Artemis rashly went ahead to try to catch him, so it was understandable that he

accidentally got into trouble. However, if this endangered his life, it would be hard for Bailey to accept.

Zeke comforted, “Don't worry. He's fine. Cameron arrived in time and helped him out of the

encirclement. However, there was another force that also went to rescue him.”

Seeing the strange expression on Bailey's face, he couldn't help but recall the exotic beauty he had

encountered at the research base in Moranta.

Rebecca Sutton.

She knew who this woman was.

In fact, she knew about her quite a bit.

She was very decisive, and approached things aggressively. It could be said that she was much like

opium that killed someone without leaving a trace.

The previous top commander of Interpol was a man known as 'The Exterminator', who once struck fear

into the hearts of various underground forces around the world.

With his own strength, he suppressed the dark forces around the world, bringing years of peace to

dangerous regions such as Zaewora, Golden Triangle, and South East Aploth.

Yet, she had searched for this legendary man for two years and found nothing.
