Female Novel
Chapter 392
In a gazebo in Tarragon's headquarters, a slender figure stood by the railing as she fed the fish.
“Well? Has there been any strange activity on Micah's end?”
“The president has been in Hallsbay for over a month, during which he has also gone to Springwynonce. He seemed to have met someone there and returned to Hallsbay after a few days.”
Yvette paused in her movement. She slowly turned her head to look at the bodyguard dressed in blackstanding behind her. “Did you find out who he met and why he's been staying in Hallsbay?” she askedwith knitted brows.
The bodyguard was a little troubled. He hesitated, unsure whether to tell her the truth.
Yvette's gaze went cold, and she scoffed. “Are you going to keep it from me even though you serveme? Do all of you think that you can disobey my orders now that my father is dead?”
“No, I wouldn't dare.” The bodyguard quickly got on his knees and inclined his head. “I owe a great dealto Mr. Sullivan. I had sworn to protect you with my life should Mr. Sullivan no longer be with us.”
“So, what are you waiting for? Answer my question.”
“S-Shannon Lewitt is in Hallsbay.”
When Yvette heard that name, her hands slowly tightened into fists, crushing the fish food into dust.
Shannon... It's Shannon... Why isn't she dead? Why is she still alive?
“Ms. Sullivan, there is one more thing I need to report.”
“What is it?”
“The vice president has also gone to Hallsbay.”
The hostility in Yvette's eyes instantly grew stronger.
That b*tch Shannon is so lucky. The two most powerful leaders in Tarragon are always thinking abouther. How can I not be jealous? Or envious? How can I not hate her? What has she done to deservesuch a wonderful man as Micah or a doting brother like Holden? But I guess the pain of having lost anarm and her child should be enough to torture her for the rest of her life. Death will just provide her anescape from her misery. The more agony she lives in, the more pleased I will be. So, she better not die.She should remain alive and carry that heartwrenching pain with her.
“Prepare the private jet. I'm going to Hallsbay.”
The bodyguard was taken aback. “Ms. Sullivan, now that the president and vice president are both inHallsbay, Shannon will be well-protected. Even if you were to go there now, you wouldn't be able to doanything.”
Yvette scoffed coldly as a dark and vicious look flitted across her eyes.
“If I guessed right, that b*tch Shannon already knows that I was the one who set her up regarding thetheft of Tarragon's classified information and sent someone to run that little b*stard of hers over.
However, she doesn't have any evidence to prove that I was behind it. Micah and Holden were bothpersonally trained by my father. They will never believe her baseless claims and go against me. Hence,I think she will try to finish me off herself. The moment she tries something, I will gladly destroy her.”
“But...”
“That's enough. You need not say anymore as I've made up my mind. Go and prepare the private jet.”
The bodyguard fell silent.
Meanwhile, the doorbell in one of the apartments in Hallsbay's Shelbert Condominium was ringing.
Three little kids were sprawled on the floor, each playing their own game and ignoring the knocks onthe door.
Bailey came out of the kitchen and went to answer the door, lightly kicking Zayron on the way.
Zayron rolled his eyes and complained loudly, “I must be adopted! All of us are freaking lying on theground together, but you kicked only me!”
Susan broke into a wide grin. “Maxton is still injured, and I'm a girl. Of course, you're the only one whocan be kicked!”
Silence fell upon the room.
Hado lay sprawled on the ground, staring at Zayron. The look in its eyes seemed to be saying, “Look atthat; you're even worse off than a dog. You got kicked, and I didn't.” novelbin
Artemis walked out of the bedroom, picked up the children, and threw them onto the couch. “It'salready autumn. You'll catch a cold if you lie on the ground,” he said with a frown.
Susan rolled over and into her father's arms. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she leaned close tohis ear and whispered, “Daddy, I'm going to become an older sister soon.”
Artemis froze.
He scanned the children around him with narrowed eyes before his gaze finally landed on Zayron.“What did you do?”
Zayron rolled his eyes.
Why is it always me?
Susan said in a small voice, “Maxton secretly changed the contraceptive pill to folic acid. Zayron alsosecretly poked lots of holes in the condom. Daddy, now that you know about this, you have no choicebut to protect us.”
The corners of Artemis' lips twitched.
I see. So that's why.
At that moment, he was mad yet amused at the same time. Artemis reached out and pinched hisdaughter's cheek. “As expected of my daughter. There's zero hesitation even when you throw yourdaddy under the bus.”
“Hehe!”
Meanwhile, Bailey stared at Caridee, who was standing outside the door. Frowning, she declared,“Don't tell me you're moving in here too. I don't have any more empty rooms.”
Caridee rolled her eyes and entered through the gap between the door and Bailey.
“I'm here to give you tickets. The international competition will be held soon.”
Bailey was stunned. “What international competition?”
Caridee shot her a glare. “You have a terrible memory. How could you forget about the racingcompetition? You even said you would help me get Legendary Racer's autograph!”
Bailey slapped her forehead.
She had been too busy recently that she completely forgot about the racing competition.
“Of course there's no way I would forget about that. Don't worry. I'll keep my promise.”
It's just an autograph. I can even give one to her now.
