Female Novel
Chapter 722
The next day. At the hotel. Cameron leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, holding his phone andanswering a call.
“Mr. Yablon, we have located Soul Reaper's whereabouts.” Cameron looked at the street view outside,his expression inexplicable. He lightly parted his lips and coldly uttered three words, “Who stole it?”
“It's Cadence's brother. After his brother was expelled from the Yablon family, he harbored rebelliousthoughts. This time, someone made a deal with him to steal the prohibited drug from the ancestral hall.He agreed to the request, killed the special agent guarding the prohibited drug, and took the poison.We can't trace his whereabouts now. It seems he has no intention of returning to the Yablon residence.”
Cadence's brother... A flash of understanding crossed Cameron's eyes.
“I almost forgot about this. His brother did die at the hands of Bailey and Artemis. He wanted to avengehis brother, so he stole the poison and used someone else to use it on Bailey and Artemis, endingeverything.”
“I also think so. Should we issue a global arrest warrant and capture him?”
“Not for now. Keep this matter hidden from everyone. Don't leak a word.”
“Yes, Mr. Yablon.” Just as the call ended, the door to the suite opened, and a black-clad bodyguardwalked in from outside.
“Mr. Yablon, I've investigated what you asked for. Bailey's foster father, Clarence, suddenly died acouple of days ago. Before he died, he had a glass of wine with Artemis.”
“Sudden death? Wine?” Cameron murmured softly.
After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, “Where is his body?” The black-clad bodyguardlowered his head.
“At a mortuary in Capston. The body hasn't been cremated yet. I know you would want to inspect thebody, so I've made all the necessary arrangements.”
Cameron turned and walked toward the door.
“Prepare the car. We're going to the mortuary.”
“Yes.”
... At the same moment. Inside the study at the medical base. Bailey was leaning on the sofa,answering a phone call.
“He left the hotel suddenly? Send someone to follow him and see where he's going.”
In fact, she had received the news when Cameron arrived in Hallsbay, but he didn't make a move yet,so she didn't intend to.
Now that he suddenly left the hotel, he must have taken action. In her understanding, Cameron hadalways been a formidable opponent.
She almost fell into his hands back then. Thanks to her mastery of hypnosis, she forcibly subdued him.Otherwise...
“Ms. Jefferson, we lost track of him. Mr. Yablon is skilled in using poison. As soon as our people gotclose, they were knocked out.” Bailey frowned slightly.
If that guy had nothing to hide, why would he shake off those who were following him? Now that he hadtaken action, it meant he had ulterior motives. She couldn't passively wait for him to come knocking onher door. She needed to take the initiative and maintain control.
“Okay, I got it. Don't follow him anymore. I'll handle it myself.”
“Do you need us to send someone to protect you?”
“No need. If there are too many people, it will only attract his attention. He's a cunning fox, and I canbarely avoid him alone and conceal my whereabouts. Once you follow, it's easy to expose ourselves.”
“Understood.” After ending the call, Zeke, who was sitting nearby, asked, “Did Cameron come toHallsbay?”
“Yeah, he arrived yesterday, and I know his whereabouts. He also knows that I had someonemonitoring him. At this critical moment, he shook off my people and left the hotel. He must be dealingwith something important. I need to find out.”
Zeke glanced at her, his lips curled into a mocking smile.
“Want to go out? Just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?” Bailey tugged at the corner of her
mouth, leaning in and hugging his arm with a coquettish tone.
“Zeke, I really need to go out for a while. Can't you make an exception for me? Pretty please?” Zekesnorted coldly, squeezing out a sentence through his teeth.
“Your coaxing won't work. There's no way I'll let you leave the medical base. Give up on that idea.”Bailey was taken aback for a moment.
She couldn't help but mutter, “You're really unbearable, Zeke. Not only do I not get any benefits fromacknowledging you as my brother, but you also restrict my freedom.”
Zeke couldn't help but chuckle at her frustration. He playfully flicked her forehead, saying, “Youheartless girl. I put aside my heavy workload to stay with you every day and protect you. Yet you didn'teven thank me. Instead, I get your complaints.”
“Well, if you let me go, I promise I won't cause trouble or fight with anyone. I just want to meetCameron, okay?” Zeke couldn't help but rub his temples.
“Artemis is really good at avoiding trouble. He dumped such a big problem like you on me. He won'thave an easy time marrying you if he doesn't meet my requirements. That marriage won't happen.”
Bailey was a bit speechless as she pouted.
“Fine, I won't go out. I won't give you any trouble. Is that okay? Just don't bully him. I care about him.”
Although she said that, she was still considering how to slip out. Now that Cameron was in Hallsbay,she had to meet that guy.
It was rare to encounter a worthy opponent, and despite her annoyance with him, he was someonewhom she could easily handle. ... Derport. At the mortuary. Cameron arrived at the morgue without anyobstacles.
“Mr. Yablon, this is Clarence's body. I've examined it, and there doesn't seem to be anything unusual.He was already in poor health, so it's an expected natural death.”
Cameron ignored him, reaching into his pocket and pulling out an embroidered box. From the box, hetook out a silver needle. This was the Yablon family's secret silver needle that could detect all toxins,including Soul Reaper. The sharp needle pierced Clarence's blood vessel, staying inside for a momentbefore slowly being withdrawn. In that instant, the needle tip strangely emitted a black mist, and theentire needle gradually turned black.
“Mr. Yablon, this...”
A complex expression flashed in Cameron's eyes. If he had only suspected that Artemis had beenpoisoned before, now he could be almost certain.
Soul Reaper, huh?
Artemis was undoubtedly doomed. He just didn't know if Bailey would follow suit after that man's death.
Probably not.
That woman didn't seem like the type to sacrifice herself for a man. He guessed she wasn't thatsentimental.
“Cremate his body and find a box of ashes to replace it. Don't let his ashes fall into the wrong hands.”
“Yes.”
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Cameron didn't stay any longer. He swiftly left like a ghost.
Perhaps I should make a deal with Bailey to test how deep her love for Artemis really is.

Medical Base. Inside the study.
“Mr. Zeke, Ms. Bailey has sneaked out.” A respectful report came from outside the door. Zeke's handholding the pen paused for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He knew she wouldn'tstay obediently at the medical base.
“Did you find out where Mr. Yablon is staying?”
“Century Hotel.”
“Prepare the car. I'm going to the Century Hotel.”
“Yes.”
