Chapter 319

“Just as I thought. Spook stole Scarlett's bone marrow model because Mr. Zephyr of the Revelle familyhas leukemia and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant. Bailey and Veronique are good friends, soI'm guessing that Bailey is Spook. Hacking into the research institute is a serious crime, Zoey. Sheprobably participated in the International Programming Competition just to rid herself of the crime.”

Zoey smiled suddenly. “So, we just need to prevent her from winning the competition?”

Shirley reached out to hold the other's wrist. “You are my sister-in-law,” she said solemnly, “and are thelast person I would deceive. I would not have informed you of this if I didn't have faith in my source. Ihope you can marry into the Luther family, Zoey. Marry for love.”

Zoey clenched her fists slowly as a hint of cruelty flashed across her eyes. I will be part of the Lutherfamily one day. I will don a wedding dress and marry Artemis, the love that belongs to me. Thatwoman, Bailey, is my biggest stumbling block. I will do everything in my power to trample her under myfeet.

“What do you think we should do, Shirley?”

Shirley smiled slyly. “We are not the only ones who want Bailey dead. I heard from my brother thatScarlett is looking all over the world for Spook. If she, the daughter of the infamous political family,knew that Bailey was Spook, she would do everything in her power to get rid of Bailey.”

Zoey looked at her friend doubtfully. “Does she hate Bailey that much?” she asked with a frown. “I'dnever heard Bailey offending her any other way apart from stealing her information.”

Shirley leered. “Here's something you don't know. It was said that Scarlett and Justin went to City Hall

to obtain a certificate but failed because Spook hacked City Hall's system to register Justin andVeronique, the second daughter of the Revelle family, for marriage. After Scarlett found out, shedispatched a large team to investigate Spook's true identity. Bailey has sabotaged Scarlett's dream ofmany years of Justin finally agreeing to marry her. Do you think she'll let that slide?”

Zoey roared with laughter. “I can't believe that actually happened. That b*tch, Bailey, is a typicalexample of courting death by offending the Fletcher family. How will she get away with this?”

She stopped laughing abruptly, and her eyebrows creased slightly as if she had thought of something.“So what if Scarlett knows that Bailey is Spook? Can she still beat that woman?”

Shirley smiled mysteriously. “I'd heard that Scarlett's elder brother, Raiden, is wholly in charge of thecontestants in the Chanaea Division. Mr. Fletcher must have Bailey's source code. We just need toinstigate Scarlett to steal Bailey's source code from her brother's computer and sell it to anothercontestant, then have them submit it first. When Bailey submits hers, we can accuse her of stealingsomebody else's work.”

“What an ingenious idea.”

Zoey cast Shirley an approving gaze and said jokingly, “You'll do a fantastic job of keeping my brotherclose at hand with you by his side.”

Shirley smirked.

There are too many celebrities who want to climb into Zeke's bed, and I must be prepared if I am tobecome the matriarch of the Shurmer family. How is the second daughter of the Hoffman family, a

simple-minded thing, deserving to fight with me over a man? What a joke!

Bailey leaned lazily on the couch by the window at the staff café in Luther Group as she regardedRainie seated opposite her with a half-smile. “You promised to buy me coffee, yet I replace myself at thecafé in Luther Group with the bill ending up on me. How insincere.”

Rainie was stunned.

Ms. Jefferson is really specific when she gives out a tongue-lashing.

“Thank you for that night, Bailey. I would be ruined now if it weren't for you. I can't imagine what horrorswould befall me if Rose's plot succeeded.”

A sly look appeared on Bailey's face as she suddenly leaned closer to the other. “I'm more concernedabout the follow-up,” she insisted with raised eyebrows. “You can express your gratitude by telling mewhat happened after that.”

Rainie was slightly taken aback before bursting out in laughter after grasping her meaning.

Does Big Shot enjoy gossip as well?

“Nothing happened. He sent me to Justin's medical base, and Justin gave me an antidote for the drug.”

“How anticlimactic,” Bailey snorted, pursing her lips. “He deserves to be single for failing to act uponsuch a good opportunity.”

Rainie lowered her head slowly to conceal the dark glint in her eyes and changed the subject. “You

offended Rose for me, Bailey. That woman isn't going to let this go. I'm sorry for causing you trouble.”

Bailey waved her hand. “It's all right,” she said indifferently. “I have enemies everywhere, and one morewon't matter much. They'll just mess with me with some disgusting underhanded tactics. They can'thurt me.”

“You have such a positive view of life.” Rainie gazed at her with envy. “Not many people live as freelyas you do. It is my honor to be your friend.”

“Well, I also think it's your honor to be my friend—”

Bailey was just about to add a few words of self-praise when her phone on the table rang. It was amessage sent by the system.

She froze instantly when she opened it.

It read: Recent Photos of LG Corporation's Young Heir Exposed.

LG Corporation? Young heir?

Bailey instinctively opened the link, and a familiar little face appeared.

It was Sebastian.

Lionel has been protecting the little guy well. How is he suddenly exposed?

She looked through the comments again. All of them expressed shock and disbelief.

One wrote: Is Mr. Gezmond, the president of LG Corporation, really married? I can't believe he has asix or seven-year-old son.

Another remarked: Though it was once rumored that there was a young heir to LG Corporation, therehad been no actual proof. I guess we're forced to believe it now that photos of the young heir havebeen exposed.

A third lamented: How sad that another wealthy bachelor is gone from the world. My dream of beingmarried into a wealthy family is once again shattered.

A fourth commented: Am I the only one who wonders who this Mrs. Gezmond is?

Bailey's brows knitted. Sebastian's identity being conveniently exposed at this juncture led her toassume the worst.

The world would definitely have nothing but positive things to say if they knew Lionel had a wife andchildren. What if the entanglement between Victoria and Lionel is exposed, however? All the insults,accusations, and comments would then fall onto Vicky for being the other woman.

“What's wrong, Bailey? Did something happen?”

Rainie's voice pulled her back from her erratic thoughts. “Oh, it's nothing. Your boss's child has beenexposed, that's all. He's an adorable little thing.”

At that very moment, Scarlett leaped up from the couch in the living room of the Xuereb residence. Herfingers tightened around her phone until her nails turned faintly white.

“What did you say? Spook is Bailey?”

“Yes, Ms. Scarlett. Although we haven't proved that, I'm positive they are the same person. If you wouldgive me a few more days, I will be able to collect enough evidence to prove her identity.”
