Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 97

Juliana didn't show up. Initially, the case would be dropped, and Jessica's future would be ruined.

However, now that Jessica claimed to be Snowflake's disciple and said that she wanted to file a lawsuit

on behalf of her mentor, it was like a lifesaver to her. As long as she seized the opportunity, she would

have a bright future.

“A-Are you really Snowflake's disciple?”

Jessica smiled as she took out her phone and showed something that could prove her identity.

“My master sent me this document. She said that Snowflake wrote this recommendation letter when

she requested to become a disciple of my grandmaster, Cedric Gadzinski. Everyone knows that my

grandmaster is the famous Grandmaster Gadzinski. Snowflake's recommendation letter is enough to

prove my relationship with her.”

Matthew hurriedly took the phone from her and read the document closely. After that, he announced in

a clear voice, “Your Honor, this document proves that Ms. Tanner is Snowflake's disciple, so she has

the right to file the lawsuit on Snowflake's behalf.”

However, the judge shook his head and replied sternly, “First, we still have to investigate her identity.

Second, if she wishes to file a lawsuit on Snowflake's behalf, the latter has to give her that

authorization first. I only agreed to it earlier because Snowflake's certificate and trophy that Ms. Stone

brought are credible. On the other hand, Ms. Tanner didn't provide anything that gave her the proof of

any authorization, so she can't become Snowflake's authorized party.”

Matthew thought about it and decided to resort to pressure from public opinion. “It's been days since

the case about Bailey's plagiarism began. The public's eyes are focused on the trial. In my opinion, the

most important thing is the case itself. Your Honor, I hope you can consider it as appropriate and

conclude this trial as soon as possible to appease the public.”

“But—”

Felicity stood up and smiled. “I'm sure there must be a hidden reason behind why we can't contact Ms.

Stone. Besides, everyone must be guessing if Luther Group has stopped her from coming to the court,

but I'm sorry to disappoint you that Luther Group will not become the scapegoat. Therefore, we must

call the court to order today to prove the Luther family's innocence.”

She said it in a way that made her sound virtuous. It was as if she wasn't involved in sabotaging Bailey.

That being said, her statement was intimidating, so the judge hesitated.

It couldn't be helped. After all, Snowflake was too famous. After it was revealed that she was Cedric's

disciple, her international status was raised.

Now that her famous work was plagiarized, the matter had shook the entire world.

Right when both parties were caught up in a stalemate, a staff present leaned closer to the judge and

whispered, “The superiors said that the impact of the plagiarism case is too serious and involves too

many people, including the royalty from Adrune. Therefore, they've decided that the trial must be

concluded today, or the matter will get even more troublesome if it involves the high court or the

international tribunal.”

The judge instantly pulled himself together and cleared his throat. “Taking into consideration the major

impact of this case, we have decided to call the court to order as planned.”

With that, everyone let out a relieved breath and looked toward the defendant.

“So what if someone was pulling the strings from behind and stopping Ms. Stone from attending? The

good always triumphs over the evil.”

“Let's not waste our time talking about a woman like her. Before this, all we knew was that Snowflake is

a top figure in the design industry. We didn't even know that she is Old Mr. Gadzinski's disciple. Now

that the truth is revealed, that woman is definitely doomed since she has offended the entire Gadzinski

clan. Her life is ruined.”

“As expected of my role model! Snowflake is the designer that I admire the most! Who would've

thought that she's Old Mr. Gadzinski's disciple? Whoa! I'm so excited!”

“I hope I can meet Ms. Snowflake when I'm still alive! She's our role model! I can't believe she keeps

such a low profile that no one knows she's Master Gadzinski's disciple!”

“In comparison, that shameless copycat, Bailey, is even more disgusting! How could she plagiarize the

work of Master Gadzinski's disciple? She should've just copied Master Gadzinski's work instead. She'll

get famous more easily!”

Victoria couldn't stand listening to them anymore and was about to jump up from her seat.

Bailey, however, winked at her and smiled. “Do you want to see them eat their words in a while? If you

do, then don't stop them. They're mocking me right now, but I'll pay them back one by one later! You'll

definitely enjoy it.”

Victoria laughed out loud. When did this girl become so mischievous? But, come to think of it, what she

said makes sense. These people want to see her get thrown into jail, don't they? They even thought so

highly of Snowflake. It's going to be interesting when they find out.

Bailey raised her eyebrows at the plaintiff's bench and smiled. “Ms. Tanner, since you're Snowflake's

disciple, I'll accept this mandate. Instead of returning to the hearing bench, you should stay there.”

Jessica's pretty face contorted with anger, and hatred filled her eyes.

She almost couldn't wait to flay Bailey alive and grind her bones into dust.

Oh well. There's no rush. I'll send her into jail myself soon! Once she's in prison, I'll bribe a few people Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

to make her life inside a living hell.

In the corner, Simon nudged Glen's arm curiously. “Granddad, do you know what's going on? Why do I

feel that the situation's strange?”

Glen stroked his beard and scoffed, “It's so obvious! Serves her right to be fooled around by Bailey.

Your mother's getting increasingly senile by the day. You're smarter than she is. Brat, you'd better not

get your hopes up, or you'll be in for a huge disappointment!”

This old man is getting increasingly indecent.

Since Bailey didn't have a defense lawyer, the plaintiff was the one to tell the entire story.

One hour had passed.

Undeniably, the lawyer that Felicity hired was excellent. Everything single word he said was justified

without any loose ends.

With the evidence provided, anyone could tell the similarity between the two works.

Matthew lifted his head to look at Bailey while smiling. “Ms. Jefferson, do you have anything to say now

that I've submitted all the information and you've seen them?”

Bailey's lips curled into a smile. She complimented, “As expected, you're really a top-notch lawyer, the

best in your field! But I'm sorry to say that I still can't admit to plagiarism.”

Before Matthew could speak, Jessica snapped, “Bailey Jefferson, just how shameless are you? The

evidence is right there! How can you still deny it? Why are you so despicable?”

“Silence. It's the defendant's turn to defend herself. The plaintiff is not allowed to speak,” the judge said

strictly.

Fury swelled within Jessica, but she suppressed it temporarily.

I'll wait. There's no way Bailey can turn the situation around in front of the crowd.

Bailey looked at the judge and said while smiling, “Your Honor, the works do resemble one another, but

that's only because both of them are designed by the same person. It's a habit that can't be changed.

Does this mean that just because I designed that work, I can't use the same idea to design my other

works after four years?”
