Female Novel
Chapter 814
Kurt's eyes suddenly narrowed. He tried his best to avoid the topic, but he still ended up having itpointed at him. He knew this woman was not interested in him just to find a good man for her daughter.
Sofie simply wanted to use her own daughter to tie Kurt down, making him work obediently for her. Hemust be cautious and prudent when dealing with a malicious woman like her, who was even willing tosacrifice her own daughter.
Sofie noticed that he did not move.
She asked, raising her eyebrows, “What's the matter, Mr. White? Do you look down on my daughter?”Kurt gave a slight nod, concealing the hostility in his eyes.
Doesn't she have any idea in her own mind of what kind of person is her daughter?
Zoey was like a vase, treated like a worthless object by Kurt as he rubbed it against the ground, whichwas something he truly looked down on.
Of course, he did not dare to say that, as he still needed to rely on this woman to save his life.
“Alright then, allow me to take your time.” After saying that, he walked towards the staircase. At thatmoment, a housekeeper rushed down from the second floor. Her face was full of anxiety.
“Ms. Carr, this is terrible. Ms. Shurmer has gone missing.” Sofie suddenly sprang up from the couch,her eyes filled with a chilling light.
“Useless! You can't even keep an eye on her. What's the point of having you here?”
After speaking, she turned to the bodyguard in a black suit beside her and ordered, “Drag her awayand chop her up to feed the dogs.”
The housekeeper said in a panic, “Ms. Carr, please spare my life! Please spare my life!”
Sofie strode up the stairs, heading towards the second floor.
Kurt let out a cold laugh.
Even if I want to marry Zoey, she might not be willing to. That’s right. I'm nothing more than a fugitivetraitor now, with the Yablon family issuing a warrant for my capture and execution. How would thisformer daughter of the Shurmer family, who was arrogant and had high standards, ever have her eyeson me? It’s good for her to go missing. Even if she didn't play the disappearing act, I would still makeher back off and give up.
On a boulevard, Zoey saw a few bodyguards chasing after her and hurriedly rushed into the bushes.
“Over there, hurry up and chase!” As Zoey watched them getting farther and farther away from her, hermind suddenly filled with anxiety. Her foot slipped, and she plunged straight toward the ground.
At that moment, an arm with iron-like strength wrapped around her waist, whisking her behind a largetree in the blink of an eye. Following that, a pungent, colorless odor began to spread all around theplace. Just as the bodyguards stepped into the bushes, they were driven back by the unbearablestench.
“Let's continue the chase in another place.”
“Noted.”
After several men in black left, Zoey abruptly broke free from the embrace of the man behind her. In aswift turn, she raised her arm and slapped it across his handsome face. Kurt directly grabbed her armand said coldly, “Don't think I want to marry you. It's just that your mother is pushing too hard.”
Zoey abruptly pulled back her hand.
“That's great. Now, take me away from here. If they catch us, you'll still have to marry me.”
Kurt said, “No need for your reminder. But I'm quite curious, what do you plan to do after leaving yourmother?”
Zoey pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, saying, “Artemis is already dead, and my heart is shatteredtoo. All I want now is to tear a few pieces of flesh from Bailey's body to relieve the hatred in my heart.”
Kurt raised his eyebrows and said, “Bailey has fallen into Tucker's hands and is being held in hisprivate winery. If you want to deal with her, you can sneak into the winery secretly.”
He knew Tucker would not kill Bailey because he wanted to turn that woman into his pet, satisfying histwisted desires.
However, Bailey killed Kurt's elder brother, and Kurt must take revenge for this deep-seated bloodgrudge. It would be unrealistic for him to kill Bailey personally, so he could only rely on someone else'shelp. He thought Zoey, who deeply hated Bailey, was a perfect fit for this role.
Zoey gritted her teeth and said with her face filled with resentment, “The place where they're holdingBailey must be heavily guarded. I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the winery entrance if I goalone.”
Kurt hooked his lips into a smile and said calmly, “I can help you with that. As long as you don't go backto your mother for now.” Zoey's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she immediately agreed. novelbin
“Alright, it's settled then. Arrange for me to enter the winery now. If Bailey doesn't die, my anger will notsubside.” Kurt hooked his lips into a smile again.
This woman truly believed that she could escape smoothly with her own strength, but in reality, it wasall manipulated by me secretly.
Kurt knew Zoey hated Bailey very much, so he had set up everything in advance.
Since he could not kill Bailey himself, he might as well get an outsider's help. His elder brother hadtreated him with great kindness, and no amount of profits could stop his vengeful footsteps.
At the winery, Tucker finally found satisfaction after a night of wild passion. He propped his head upwith one hand, lazily lying next to “Bailey.”
Seeing her gaze blankly at the ceiling above, he could not help showing a wicked smile at the corner ofhis lips.
He said, “If you ask me, you should just follow me obediently from now on. I will promise you a lifetime
of wealth and glory. Although I can't marry you as my legal wife, I can ensure that your life in the futureis secure.”
“Bailey” moved her stiffened neck, turning her face slightly away and avoiding Tucker's gaze.
“Bailey” replied, “So, it turns out that trying to act tough is no big deal. I thought you were more capablethan this, but it looks like this is all you've got. I must say, I'm quite disappointed.”
Tucker's gaze suddenly turned sharp, and he swiftly reached out to grab her neck.
“What do you mean by this? Are you doubting my abilities?”
“Bailey” remained silent, only giving him a disdainful glance. Tucker abruptly clenched his fist tightly.The thing men could not tolerate most was when women questioned their abilities and said they werenot good enough.
Don't think just because I take a fancy to you, you can act arrogant in front of me. A canary with brokenwings should learn to submit to me, kneeling at my feet and flattering me.
“Bailey” slowly closed her eyes, neither struggling nor resisting. She let him choke her to death.
Seeing her about to take her last breath, Tucker suddenly snapped out of his madness. He saw arelieved smile on her face, which infuriated him, so he fiercely slapped her across the cheek.
“Wanting to die? Not so easy. Bailey, you haven't avenged Artemis yet. Can you really be content withdying like this? If I were you, I would live well and look for opportunities to escape. Only aftersuccessfully getting away would I take a bomb and perish together with that old woman, Sofie.”
“Bailey” let out a light cough and slowly opened her eyes.
Right, I can't die. If I die, it will arouse his suspicions. Since, with Bailey's personality, she would neverchoose to end her life herself. How could that woman, who refused to admit defeat and resign to herfate, end her life in such a humiliating way?
“Bailey” said, “Yes, you're right. I still have revenge to take. Tucker, you wouldn't want Sofie to divideTarragon's power, would you? How about this? Once everything is settled, you will release me whenSofie tries to seize control of half of Tarragon's power. I'll take a bomb with me and perish with hertogether. What do you think?”
Tucker raised his eyebrows, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
This is a great idea.
He replied, “Okay, I can consider this proposal, but... you have to wait until I'm tired of playing with youbefore I decide.”
