Female Novel
Chapter 798
Veikko's pupils contracted intensely, and raging flames burned in his dark gaze.
Only half of my mother's ashes were scattered? The other half is still in the hands of that asshole,Shaun? I can't believe he placed my mother's ashes in a kennel. How could he? How dare he?
A dense murderous aura spread throughout the room. His fingers gripping the phone turned slightlypale, and the exposed veins on his arm bulged out prominently.
It seems I was being too easy on him by crippling his genitalia that day. I should have chopped off hislimbs, turning him into a completely helpless cripple.
“What exactly are you trying to say?”
“It's pretty simple. I want to tell you that I asked someone to transport that wicked woman's ashes by aira few days ago. They just arrived in Moranta today. If you want them back, you illegitimate brat, go tothe private airport in the eastern suburb. This is your last chance. Otherwise, once her ashes are in myhands, I will use them as fertilizer in a flower bed so she can never rest in peace even after her death.”
The eastern suburb, the eastern suburb.
After remembering the name of the place, Veikko hung up right away. He knew that countlessassassins must lurk inside and outside the airport. Going there would be like entering a perilous place.
But I'm my mother's son. How could I sit and do nothing?
It was his mother who he depended on. She had suffered endless humiliation from the Carter family
during her lifetime. If he let someone insult her even after she had turned into ashes, it would make himan incompetent son.
Thus, he must go no matter whether what Shaun said was true or fake. Given Shaun's twisted values,it was entirely possible that he would have taken half of the ashes back then to threaten Veikko in thefuture. If Veikko didn't go today, he would be unfilial. novelbin
A grown man like him would not have the dignity to live on if he allowed someone to disrespect hismother's ashes. After making up his mind, he put away his phone and left the room leisurely.
He instructed his personal bodyguard at the door, “I'm going out. Don't let anyone know. If I don't returnby evening, contact Ms. Jefferson and tell her that I might be in danger. Ask her to arrange the internalaffairs within the Saviors as soon as possible to avoid any internal conflicts.” The personal bodyguardlooked at him in slight confusion.
“Mr. Veikko, if you know there would be danger, why do you still want to go? Ms. Jefferson once saidthat only when you're alive can there be hope. After you die, you lose everything. Please reconsider.”
Veikko waved his hand and said, “I've made up my mind. If you were in my shoes today, you would dothe same thing. There's no need to say more. By the way, make sure to protect Ms. Caridee well anddon't let her leave the branch.”
“Yes.”
After making some quick arrangements, Veikko hurriedly left the branch. On the west side of themansion, Mindy held her phone while standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Veikko
leave. Her lips curled into a sinister smile.
“Thank you, Mr. Carter. He left. Don't worry. I'll lure Caridee out now.”
No one knew what Shaun had said that made the smile on Mindy's face widen, but a hint of mockeryflashed in her eyes.
Does this loser actually want to assassinate Mr. Veikko? Dream on. I must find a way to inform Ms.Jefferson. When she realizes he's about to die, she will surely try to stop him. She's not foolish, afterall. How could she stand by and watch him go to a perilous place? If he dies, how can she become thematriarch of the Saviors?
“Alright. Rest assured, Mr. Carter. I'll definitely hand her over to you safe and sound.”
Although she despised Caridee and wished to stab her a hundred times, handing her to a psychopathlike Shaun would likely make her experience living a life worse than death or living hell.
After hanging up, she turned to the female bodyguard beside her and asked, “Did Mr. Veikko go outalone? Where is his personal bodyguard?”
“Mindy, Mr. Veikko's personal bodyguard, is heading to Caridee's residence. He must have receivedorders from Mr. Veikko to protect her, but don't worry. I've already sent someone to take care of him.After you ask Connie to call her later, she will definitely leave the branch alone.”
Mindy smiled contentedly.
“You handled everything well without me having to tell you. That's great. I need someone clever like
you. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll definitely promote you to be an instructor at the Savior'sheadquarters. Let's go. It's time for us to set out and capture our target. Mr. Carter is still waiting for ourdelivery. Haha.”
In the bedroom of a private residence, Bailey leaned against the bed, obediently eating the nutritionalsupplements that Artemis was feeding her.
“Are you planning to meet Kurt to get the enhancer?” asked Artemis as he scooped the soup.
Bailey shook her head and said hesitantly, “I haven't figured it out yet. Let's wait a bit longer and see ifwe can come up with a better solution.”
Artemis put down the spoon, looked up at her, and said coldly, “I won't oppose any decision you makeand support you unconditionally, but there's one thing you must remember. No matter where you go,you have to take me with you. You're not allowed to act on your own. Can you do that?”
Bailey pouted and complained softly, “You're being harsher to me.”
“Because you won't listen to me. If you behave well, I don't need to remind you with such a stern tone.”
Bailey remained quiet. Bailey refused to admit defeat. She sat up straight, ready to argue with him andsee who was disobedient.
Her mouth twitched slightly, and the wristwatch beeped. She looked down and saw a text message popup on the screen.
The sender's name was a phone number. She was very familiar with the number. It was Veikko's
bodyguard's phone number.
Seeing him send her a message, she reckoned the matter must be extremely urgent.
She tapped the touchscreen of her wristwatch a few times, enlarging the font several times. As soon asshe saw the content clearly, her expression changed abruptly.
“I must head to the eastern suburb. Veikko is in danger.” After saying that, she turned over andprepared to leave the bed. Artemis glared at her, reached out to grab her shoulder, and pushed herback.
A darkened expression appeared on his charming face. He said menacingly, “I told you to behave justnow, but you seem to have forgotten about it in the blink of an eye. Do you have the memory of agoldfish? Does it only last for seven seconds?”
“Bailey brought the wristwatch close to his eyes.
“Did you see that? Shaun used a dirty trick and lied to Veikko, saying he still has half of his mother'sashes. Do you know? The death of Veikko's mother has always been an unhealable wound in hisheart. Now that he found out that the other half of his mother's ashes were in his enemy's hands, hewould do anything, regardless of what danger lay ahead. He'll die, do you hear me? He'll die byShaun's hands. Do you expect me to stand by and watch him jump into a fire pit?”
Artemis loosened his grip and picked up the porcelain bowl again, speaking more relaxed, “Finish thesoup first, and then I'll go with you. Why are you so agitated? I never said you shouldn't care about hiswell-being.”
Bailey didn't say a word.
While sipping the soup, Bailey analyzed the credibility of Shaun's words.
Could it be that he really has half of Veikko's mother's ashes?
