Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 853

Chapter 853 A Complete Falling Out

Archie was protecting himself by forcing Bailey to give him a way out.

“You're right! I don't want you to die now. As long as you're alive, your mother has the motivation to

fight.”

After Bailey finished speaking, she pulled a bottle from her pocket and tossed it to him.

“Drink it.”

Without a second thought, Archie unbottled the cap and poured the drug into his mouth.

The effects of the medicine kicked in quickly. In no time, Archie collapsed and could not get up.

Just before he fell unconscious, he said weakly, “It seems like I am somebody that could make you

handle me yourself.”

With the final word he uttered, he fell into a deep coma.

Bailey coldly watched him. There was a change of complex emotions in her eyes.

This young man was smarter than she thought.

If this kid had been by Philip all these years, I'm afraid the head of the family would have changed long

ago.

The sigh of Artemis echoed in her ears. It pulled Bailey back from her wandering thoughts.

Bailey turned and looked at him. “It's a pity he was born into the wrong family, becoming the son of our

sworn enemy. Otherwise, he could have become an elite in the future,” she said in a tone of pity.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Sirens blared from all around.

Artemis reached out to grab her hand, leading her back the way they came.

“Tucker's men are coming. We have to go! Otherwise, we will be trapped here.”

Meanwhile, in Musbane, Sofie and her group were ambushed.

They were forced to land in a small town in Bangkok.

When she found out that her son had fallen into the hands of Tucker, she nearly lost control.

“Tucker, if I didn't tear you apart, I might as well spell my name in reverse order!”

After venting her frustrations, she immediately called Philip.

“Your elder son has kidnapped your younger son, but you stand by and do nothing? What are you

thinking? To let them fight each other to the death?” Sofie yelled.

Clearly, Philip had no idea about that incident. He was furious after hearing about it. He brushed it off

with some response before hanging up the phone abruptly.

From Sofie's point of view, Philip's attitude shattered the last bit of his score.

Her son had already obtained most of the Hoffman family's classified information. That information

could let her directly control the Hoffman family's industrial chain.

If they were wise, they would hand over her son and support him in taking his position. Then,

everything would be negotiable.

If they do not comply, she will reveal all these secrets. It would ruin the Hoffman family completely.

She wanted to share mutual destruction.

Even if she were going to hell, she would want the entire Hoffman family to go down with her.

Philip went to the winery in Moranta in person to find his son and found out about his son's secret. His

son kept the imposter of Bailey secretly in the winery, treating her like a pet.

In his rage, he swung a stick and beat his son severely inside the living room.

Tucker clung to his father's leg, trembling as he pleaded, “Dad, it was just an imposter. I didn't make

any big mistakes. Could you please not be too hard on me?”

Philip took several deep breaths. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let's set that aside for now. Tell

me, why did you kidnap your brother?”

Brother?

A hint of contempt flashed in Tucker's eyes.

I certainly don't have a bastard brother like that.

However, Philip was amid his fury, and Tucker was not daring enough to cross him.

“Dad, I heard Sofie has hooked up with another firearms tycoon. They must be plotting about how to

support that illegitimate child to rise to power and then take control of the entire Hoffman family. The

reason I kidnapped the kid is only to restrain Sofie. I have no malice. Please don't overthink it.”

Smack! Philip slapped his hand on the table.

“What did you say? That woman is involved with another man, again?”

“Y-yes,” Tucker replied. As he spoke, he was rummaging for his phone on the carpet.

Someone sent him an anonymous email. It was enclosed with a few photos of Sofie nestled in the arms

of another man.

“Dad, look! She does have another man and plotting how to get you to support her son's rise to power.

I kidnapped that kid to keep that woman in check. You've been with her for so long. You should know

her tactics. Right?”

Philip stared at the photo on the screen, and veins were bulging on his forehead.

“B*tch! B*tch! B*tch!”

After he scolded loudly, he snatched the phone and furiously threw it to the flat-screen television across

the room.

Seeing Philip lose his temper, Tucker secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Dad, I can give you my word. I won't kill that kid, but we must imprison him. We can't let him return to

Sofie.”

Philip's legs gave way, and he slumped directly onto the sofa.

The fury and humiliation of betrayal relentlessly assailed him. He decided to sever the ties of past

affections.

“Since she betrayed me first, she can't blame me for being ruthless. Get your men to hunt her down.

No matter where she is, make sure she's dead.”

“Yes.”

Meanwhile, a middle-aged bodyguard walked in from outside. He nodded toward Philip and said, “Mr.

Philip, Mr. Raymond has agreed to hand over the reign of power to you. The elders are urging you to

return as soon as possible.”

Both Philip and Tucker had expressions of joy on their faces. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

The elder had finally said it.

The era that belongs to Philip's family has finally arrived.

“You fool, what are you still doing standing there? Hurry up! Change your clothes, then come back

home with me.”

“O-okay.”

Mindy, who had been on the verge of death from the torment, came out from the Prudent Hall of a

branch of the Saviors.

The moment when she saw the light of day again, her eyes were filled with hatred.

Since her life was spared, she could not afford to waste it.

She no longer dared to hope for Veikko.

That man will never be hers.

Even without Caridee, he would not spare her a glance.

Nevertheless, she will ensure that Caridee will meet a terrible end.

Meanwhile, in Pandera, Artemis and Bailey did not rush to leave.

The trap was ready. It was only waiting for Sofie and Philip to turn on each other. It did not matter if

they showed up or not.

The city at night shines as bright as day under a sea of neon lights.

Artemis, holding Bailey, sat on the rooftop of a skyscraper, with the night view of the entire city of

romance beneath.

Bailey pointed her finger toward the Everlasting Cathedral afar with a smile. She asked, “Have you

heard the love story within those sacred walls?”

Artemis nodded. “I've heard of it. But that story is too sad, and I don't like it.”

Bailey looked up at him and laughed. “I don't like it either. That's why I've never visited Everlasting

Cathedral, even though I've visited Pandera several times. Just a distant glance is all I afford. I strongly

believe I will never step in there in my lifetime because my love is perfect.”

Artemis leaned in to kiss her and rested his forehead against hers. With a voice full of emotion, he said,

“I've spent all the luck of my lifetime, and I finally found you in the crowd.”

Bailey reached out with her arms around his neck and smiled. “Me too.”

“I've never seen parents as irresponsible as you two. While your kids were heartbroken over your

'death' at home, you two were Indulge in your romance.”

A childish voice mocked by their ears. Bailey and Artemis instinctively turned their heads.
