Female Novel
Chapter 143
Bailey frowned slightly.
With her skills, it would be a piece of cake for her to deal with the bunch of thugs. At the very most, shewould just receive a few blows from the clubs during the battle.
However, once she let them tie her up, she would be left vulnerable to their devices.
Considering how much hatred Janice harbored toward her, Janice would definitely skin her alive.
However, it did not matter much whether she died. The point was that no one could guarantee Janicewould release Zayron as promised after she was restrained.
When Janice saw how hesitant Bailey was, she smirked coldly and mocked, “You can't bear toexchange your life for your son's? You sure know how to create a good image for yourself, huh? Youlook all glamorous on the surface, but you're rotten to the core. F*ck all that nonsense!”
After speaking, she gripped the handle of the knife and moved her hand down swiftly. She placed theblade against Zayron's neck, where his artery was throbbing. “Bailey, you know the consequences ofslitting this, right? If I sever his carotid artery, not even God can save your son. If I can't kill you, I'll dragyour son down to the grave with me.”
Bailey subconsciously took a step forward. Gritting her teeth, she steeled herself and spat, “Let yoursubordinates come and tie me up. I won't resist. However, you must release my son. Otherwise, theLuther family will never spare you.”
Although she hated being involved with the Luther family, she could not care much at this juncture of
life or death. If bringing up the Luther family was enough to scare Janice, it would be for the best.
However, Janice merely burst out laughing. She was extremely amused at how Bailey did not dare tosay anything despite being furious.
“Why are the few of you still standing there? Tie her up right now!”
“Got it!”
Two thugs walked over with rope. They placed Bailey's arms behind her back and tied her up tightly.
Glancing at Janice icily, Bailey hissed, “Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because myhands are tied. If I want to kill you, I can do that in the blink of an eye. Janice, you better honor yourpromise and release my son. Otherwise, no one here will leave alive.”
Janice's body could not help but tremble slightly. From Bailey's cold gaze, she could see an intenselymurderous look. Why is that woman's gaze so bloodthirsty and vicious?
At that moment, she did not even suspect that Bailey would do exactly what she warned. Even thoughBailey's arms were tied, Janice's instincts told her that Bailey could actually kill her in the blink of aneye.
“Toss this brat out and wake him up with cold water. Tell him to get lost immediately.”
“Got it.”
After watching the thugs carry her son out, Bailey finally heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as her child was fine, she did not mind how dangerous the situation would become.
“All right. I've already released your child. Now, it's time for us to settle the score between us, once andfor all.”
After speaking, Janice strode toward Bailey with the knife. Pressing the blade against Bailey's prettyface, she spat, “If I ruin this face of yours, will men still flock to you?”
Bailey stared at her coldly and said in a calm voice, “You'll find out if you try it. The knife is in yourhands. Why are you speaking so much nonsense? If you want to ruin my face, just do it now.”
A vicious look flashed across Janice's face. Gritting her teeth, she asked, “Do you think that I don't dareto?”
Bailey could not be bothered to see the twisted expression on Janice's face. She closed her eyes andsaid nonchalantly, “You've already dared to kidnap a child. Is there anything else that you can't do? Ifyou want to kill or maim me, just help yourself. Cut the crap and be swift.”
“You...” Fury filled Janice's eyes. If she could, she really did not mind disfiguring Bailey's face.
After all, she would just be in jail for a few years. She would not mind. As long as she could makeBailey's life horrible, she was willing to do anything.
However, there were some things that were out of her control.
“What's wrong? Are you scared?” Bailey opened her eyes and glanced at her. She mocked, “Your handis trembling so much. How can you kill someone? I guess that you've never killed anyone before, right?Do you need me to teach you a few moves? The heart is the most vulnerable. As long as you stab it,the person will die on the spot. If you don't believe me, try it out now.”
As Janice gripped the handle of the knife, her hand trembled even more violently. A look of despairflashed across her eyes.
This woman is right. I've never killed anyone before. The grudge between us is not so serious that Imust kill her. However, I can't sit back and do nothing about her taunts!
“Y-You! Shut up! Otherwise, I'll actually stab you to death.”
Bailey shrugged and said with a smile, “Janice, you aren't an evil person who's beyond saving. Let mego. I won't call the police, and we'll pretend that nothing ever happened. How's that?”
Janice's eyes turned bloodshot. Glaring at Bailey fiercely, she yelled, “What about my job? What aboutmy relationship? You ruined everything. How can I pretend that nothing ever happened? Bailey, youdeserve to die. If not for you, would I have reached this stage in life?”
Bailey sighed softly.
How is this my fault again? Artemis was the one who fired her, and Jeremy was the one who dumpedher. However, I ended up being the scapegoat.
“What do you want to do, then? Things have already happened. We can't possibly rewind time, right?Why don't I find you a new job? As for your boyfriend, he abandoned you the moment trouble arrived.
You should be happy that you realized his true colors before marrying him. Otherwise, your life wouldbe ruined.”
When Janice heard that, a hopeful look entered her eyes. “C-Can you let me return to Luther Group?” novelbin
Bailey raised her eyebrow and reminded, “I'm the lead designer at Luther Group's headquarters. I takecharge of anything design-related. Furthermore, my good friend is the director of the HR department.What do you think?”
“A-Are you saying that you can help me return to my original position?”
“That's right. You didn't do anything horribly wrong, anyway. If you do a good job with me in the future,Mr. Luther will be forgiving.”
Janice fell silent for a long time. Gritting her teeth, she eventually instructed the thug at the side to untieBailey.
At that moment, the boss of the thugs spoke up behind her. “Ms. Worthiere, although your problem issolved, we'd be in big trouble. If this woman goes to the police station and accuses us of kidnapping, allof us would have to go to jail.”
Janice trembled. “W-What do you mean? What are you going to do?”
“What am I going to do?” The boss of the thugs laughed menacingly. “Naturally, I'm trying to think of away to stop her from telling on us. For example, we can take a few photos of her naked. Using that asblackmail, we can extort some money from her to prevent those photos from being leaked.”
With that, he beckoned his subordinates over. “Bring Ms. Jefferson in and serve her well. Remember totake a few more photos. We'll have to depend on these photos to ensure that she behaves well in thefuture.”
“Got it.”
Just when Bailey was about to attack them, the boss of the thugs read her mind. He reminded coldly,“Ms. Jefferson, your son is still in my subordinate's hands. If you don't want him to die, you bettercooperate with us obediently. If you dare to injure any of my men, I'll cut off your son's fingers, one foreach person you hurt.”
Bailey's expression turned terrifyingly grim.
Looks like I can't escape this situation. Regardless of what they do to me, I must endure it for my son'ssake.
