Tarragon...
Bailey scoffed.
Despite how powerful it is, it doesn't scare me at all.
Nonetheless, Bailey—not wanting Shannon to worry—nodded in agreement. “Fine. I won't do anythingreckless before running it by you. Now, get a grip on yourself. I'm taking you racing.”
Shannon was taken by surprise. “Are you participating in today's race too? But your name isn't on theroster.”
A sly glint flashed across Bailey's eyes. “It's true that I'm not on it, but Dexter is.”
Shannon understood immediately. “So you're the one who's racing in his place. In that case, today'srace will be an exciting one. I'm really looking forward to it now.”
“Let's go.”
Just as Bailey pulled her up from the couch to head out, Shannon hesitated. “By the way, Bay, there'ssomething about my brother and Wendy that I have to tell you. After all, your best friend, Victoria, isinvolved with Wendy's husband.”
Bailey stopped abruptly in her tracks. “Your brother? How is he connected to Wendy?”
“Back when I was imprisoned for stealing Tarragon's secrets, my brother agreed to take on a mission
issued by the elders in an effort to save me. It involved getting close to the eldest daughter of theHoffman family to obtain the family's secrets. When my brother succeeded in doing so, the Hoffmanfamily naturally lost the authority to control Zaewora.”
Given how smart Bailey was, she instantly knew what Shannon was trying to convey.
“Are you saying that your brother manipulated Wendy into falling for him to obtain the Hoffman family'ssecrets? In that case... Wendy's son, Sebastian, is your brother's?”
Shannon shook her head. “I'm not sure about that. When he returned after completing his mission, mybrother lost his memory and couldn't remember a thing. As for me, my arm was broken as punishmentbefore he got back. I was disheartened, so I ended up fleeing Tarragon. I don't know if Wendy's son ismy brother's, but I'm certain that he has come to Hallsbay for a reason.”
Bailey's face turned sullen.
If Sebastian really is Holden's son, he'll be the target of the Hoffman family's frustration after themassive loss Holden has caused them. Can Julie really bring him out safely after going to see Mr.Raymond and the others alone?
“Got it. Thank you for telling me this. Now, let's head to the venue.”
Inside another lounge, Zoey, leaning against the couch, looked up at the bodyguard opposite her andasked, “Is everything in order?”
“The arrangements have been made, Ms. Zoey. Don't worry. My friend has worked at the racing
association for a long time and knows how to tamper with cars without anyone noticing. Soon, it will beBailey's funeral.”
Zoey tightened her grip on the wine glass in her hand.
Excellent! I came here today just to see Bailey die.
“All right. Come back here for your reward once the deed is done.”
“Yes, Ms. Zoey.”
When Bailey and Shannon arrived at the venue, they ran into Edmund.
Thinking that she had made a mistake, Bailey had to look twice before she was sure it was him.
“Why are you here? I remember that you never liked crowded places.”
The faint smile on Edmund's face was as gentle as before. However, he had lost a lot of weight sinceshe had last seen him.
He must have gone through a hard time. I wonder if time has managed to heal his wounds. novelbin
“The daughter of my father's friend from overseas came to Hallsbay to watch the race. She insisted ongetting Adhira's autograph and threw a tantrum at home when she learned that he wasn't on the rostertoday. After my mom pacified her, she insisted on me accompanying her here.”
Bailey cocked a brow.
The daughter of his father's friend is clinging to him. Do I see some hope between both of them?
As if he could read her mind, Edmund slapped her gently on the head. “Don't let your imagination runwild. She's like a sister to me.”
Bailey puckered her lips. I was hoping that he could see her as his lover. If Edmund lives out the rest ofhis life alone, guilt will haunt me for eternity.
“Eddy, I bought two boxes of ice cream.”
At that moment, a young girl in a dress ran toward them from afar. When she saw Edmund talking totwo women, she quickly hid the ice cream behind her back.
It's not a good idea to let Eddy's friends see him eating ice cream.
Her actions, which didn't escape Bailey's notice, impressed her.
What an honest and lovely girl! More importantly, she has feelings for Edmund. A girl like her should beable to heal the wound in his heart.
“Hello, I'm Bailey Jefferson.”
The girl blinked and quickly realized who Bailey was.
“Oh my God, you're Bailey. You really are Bailey, the one known as Snowflake, Anonymous, Morpheus,and Spook. May I know if you're Adhira too?”
Rendered speechless, Bailey held her forehead. Her thoughts are really all over the place.
Clearing his throat, Edmund interrupted, “The race is about to begin. Let's head to our seats.”
