Female Novel
Chapter 735
A cold glint flashed before her eyes, and Miranda couldn't help but be frightened, fainting on the spot.
At the critical moment, Wendy raised her voice and exclaimed, “Yes, my son is Holden's child. Backthen, he approached me under a false name, and feelings developed between us. Eventually, wecouldn't resist our emotions. We broke through the boundaries, and I became pregnant.”
Sofie waved her hand at the bodyguard to stop him, then smiled and said, “That's more like it. I ask,you answer. We must follow the rules of the game. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear theconsequences. Now comes the second question. Does Holden love you?”
At this moment, all that occupied Wendy's mind was protecting her aunt. She had let her guard down,answering any question that came her way.
“He said he was sincere about me and even wanted to marry me, but I rejected him. However, henever thought of giving up. I've said everything I needed to say, so please let my aunt go now.” Sofienodded with a smile.
“You've answered all my questions, so naturally, I'll keep my promise and send her back to the city.Remember, don't hurt her or touch her again.”
“Yes.”
After the two bodyguards carried the unconscious Miranda away, Sofie once again reached out andpatted Wendy's cheek, smiling, “Behave yourself and stay here. Wait for Holden to come and get you.Don't try any tricks, or you'll be the one to suffer.”
After saying that, she turned around and left the storage room.
Wendy blinked, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
Did I cause trouble for Holden? What should I do?
Outside, Miranda, who had fainted, woke up and glared fiercely at Sofie, who had just walked out of thestorage room. She gritted her teeth and asked, “I've already cooperated with you. When will yourelease my husband and son?”
Sofie glanced at her sideways and said nonchalantly, “No rush. You still have some value to me. OnceI've completely drained you of your last bit of usefulness, I'll naturally fulfill my promise and let themgo.”
Miranda clenched her teeth tightly, choking back tears as she said, “Once I'm no longer of any use toyou, I'm afraid you'll kill me to silence me.”
Sofie spread her palms. Her expression was a mix of amusement and seriousness.
“Even if that's true, what can you do to me? If you try to revolt now, your entire family will die. If I wereyou, I'd behave better and strive for the hope of survival.”
Miranda slowly closed her eyes.
She had already abandoned kindness and righteousness. If she continued to resist, all her effortswould be in vain, and Wendy's sacrifice would be for nothing. The next day, at the medical base, on the
outdoor grounds, Bailey and Zeke were getting ready to board the plane. The husband and wife of theShurmer family, along with Gerald and Felicity, all came to see them off.
Felicity held Bailey's wrist and said, “You must take good care of yourself. Otherwise, when Artemisreturns, I won't know how to explain it to him.”
Bailey laughed and said, “Don't worry, I have my brother with me, so there won't be any problems.Besides, once we're in Dellmoor, Raiden will be there to help us. How could anything go wrong on histurf?”
“Well, having said that, you still need to be cautious. I shouldn't have let you leave Hallsbay in the firstplace. Artemis repeatedly instructed me before going abroad, and now I'm going against his wishes. Ifanything happens to you, I really don't know how to explain it.”
Bailey reached out and embraced her.
“Don't worry. Everything will be fine.”
Having said that, she turned around and walked toward the boarding gate.
“Wait, Bay...”
Waverly called out to her. Bailey paused for a moment, not looking back or saying anything. Waverlygently said, “Take good care of yourself, and if you need anything, just give us a call.”
Bailey thought for a moment and said softly, “You should visit Victoria more often. There's still hope forher and your nephew, Lionel. Both of them have no elders left in their lives. If you mediate between
them, they might be able to mend their broken relationship.”
Waverly was momentarily stunned. She then put on a faint smile.
“Alright, alright, whatever you say. I'll do it, I'll do it.”
Bailey didn't linger any longer and strode toward the boarding gate. As she walked, she could hearWaverly's instructions to Zeke, which were mainly about taking good care of her.
Parents are probably all like this. It's just that my lack of affection magnified their flaws immensely.Perhaps as time goes by, I'll be able to sit down with them for a meal and have a pleasant chat.
Stepping into the cabin, a familiar scent greeted her, causing her once-smiling face to instantly darken.Upon looking up, sure enough, that annoying face came into view.
“You just won't go away. I should have gotten rid of you back then.” Cameron snorted coldly.
“What's this? You want to leave me behind and go to Dellmoor alone? What happened to the promiseyou made before? I've been up for three days and nights working on developing the toxin for you. Isthis how you repay me?”
Bailey squinted slightly.
“Justin used my specially made stupefying drug on you. By right, you shouldn't have woken up soquickly. What exactly happened?”
Cameron spread his hands. With a smile that wasn't quite a smile, he said, “I've been in Hallsbay fornovelbin
several days now, and he hasn't invited me for a drink. Suddenly, he brought a few bottles of wine tofind me. So, I knew there must be a catch. At that time, I didn't do anything extreme. I just told him thatif he made me miss the chance to go to Dellmoor, I wouldn't prepare the antidote, and his womanwould die. He didn't dare to risk it, so he could only exchange a few bottles of wine to make amends.”
Bailey couldn't help but laugh at his words. She reached out to grab the melon on the table and threw itdirectly at his forehead.
“Cameron, why don't you just go die?”
It was dusk at Dellmoor. At the Fletcher residence, inside the master bedroom, Yolanda washypnotizing Sloan. Both of them had beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. Their bodies wereshaking intensely.
Tamara paced anxiously nearby, but no matter how loudly she called, she couldn't wake the two ofthem up.
“Benson, have you managed to contact Mr. Raiden?”
“Mrs. Fletcher, I'm afraid I can't reach Mr. Raiden. I heard he went to the private airport to pick up afriend.”
Tamara clenched her teeth in frustration.
Even when his uncle had come to Dellmoor on a private jet before, he didn't personally greet him likethis. With such enthusiasm, there's no need to guess that it's Bailey that has arrived. That woman reallyhas a lingering presence. She even came all the way to Dellmoor. Who asked her to meddle in other
people's affairs? Did the Fletcher family invite her to treat the illness?
“Mrs. Fletcher, this is bad. Mr. Fletcher has started convulsing.”
The butler's exclamation by her ear brought her wandering thoughts back to reality. Upon looking up,Sloan was convulsing violently, with veins bulging on his forehead and a fierce, distorted expression onhis face.
“Sloan, what's wrong with you? Please, don't scare me like this.”
She rushed over and embraced her husband, shaking him vigorously. However, she couldn't rescuehim from that bizarre state no matter what she tried.
“What on earth is going on? How did this happen? What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and wakeYolanda. Wake her up!”
Several housekeepers bustled about frantically, but their efforts were in vain. Yolanda's conditionremained strangely unsettling, as if she were entangled in a nightmare she couldn't break free from. Atthat moment, two figures burst through the door. One of them was Raiden, and the other was Bailey.
“Damn it. This woman can't handle the fusion of hypnosis and dream-tailoring skill at all.”
