Female Novel
Chapter 817
Zoey did not kill Bailey, despite the fact that she was lying in front of her. Instead, she insisted on takingphotos to expose Bailey. Isn't she afraid that Bailey might take advantage of this opportunity to turn thetables? That's why Zoey couldn't beat Bailey in the past—she was too foolish. I have to track down thisfool before Tucker does. Otherwise, if she fell into Tucker's hands, she would definitely expose me,saying that I instigated her to assassinate Bailey at the winery. By then, Tucker would surely turnagainst me, and I would lose the support of the Hoffman family.
In the back garden of the research base, Lindsey was tiptoeing through the flower bushes when shesuddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. Instinctively, she wanted to cry out in surprise.
The other party reached out to cover her mouth, lowered their voice, and said, “Ms. Carter, don't beafraid. I'm the one who asked you to meet me here.”
Hearing that, Lindsey quickly nodded in agreement. After the other party withdrew their hand, sheimmediately turned around.
“Mr. Warren? Aren't you the person in charge of the base?” novelbin
Speaking of that, she widened her eyes instantly.
“So you are not working for the Shurmer family, but for the Hoffman family?” Nicholas Warren saidnonchalantly,
“People always strive for a better life. Whichever side offers me more benefits, that's who I'll work for.Ms. Carter, this isn't the issue you should be focusing on. I received a task from Mr. Hoffman. He askedme to investigate whether Bailey was really dead or not. After much thought, I believe that you are the
most suitable person to look into this matter.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Lindsey's eyes.
“I heard that Bailey left for the appointment last night and never returned because she was killed. Whydo I have to find out if she is alive or dead? Don't tell me that she can come back to life. Besides, Ihave no connections to the base, so how can I even conduct an investigation?” Nicholas nodded.
“Mr. Hoffman just wants to be more certain. Besides, Ms. Carter, isn't your reason for being here to takeBailey's life as well? Well, we can work together. You help me investigate the situation thoroughly, andif Bailey really isn't dead, we can strike again, making sure she dies for good this time.”
“All right. Where should I look it up?” Lindsey inquired.
“Ms. Caridee is at the base, isn't she? Try to get close to her and see if you can gather some usefulinformation from her,” Nicholas suggested. Lindsey's eyes lit up in an instant.
“That's a great idea! Caridee might know whether Bailey is really dead or not. Let's do it this way. Waitfor my news.”
“All right.”
At the same time, inside the laboratory, Bailey had already neutralized the toxin in the enhancer andwas now working on creating an antidote for Bloodlust.
Once Blaze arrived the next day, she would explain that she was the one who neutralized the toxin and
prepared the antidote.
“Bay...”
Artemis walked in from outside and said gravely, “The situation might have changed. I'm afraid we can'tkeep the news of your survival from Philip and Sofie anymore.”
Bailey tilted her head and looked at him, asking puzzledly, “Did something happen again?”
“The informant I placed at Tucker's place reported that Zoey went to his winery, took a photo of thesuicide attacker who was impersonating you, and is preparing to upload the photo so that people allaround the world can see your...”
“Haha.” Bailey sneered coldly.
“Only a fool like Zoey would do such a stupid thing. No one else could pull that off. If I were to guess, itmust have been Kurt who instigated her to do it. Considering the various forces backing me, he didn'tdare to kill me, fearing that it would stir up trouble and ultimately lead to him being besieged. But afterall, I killed Cadence, so it was inevitable that he would want to take revenge for his brother. Since hecouldn't do it himself, he had to rely on someone else. That's why he arranged for Zoey to enterTucker's winery. It's such a pity that Zoey, that fool, is simply a lost cause. The person is right in front ofher, yet she doesn't kill them to eliminate future troubles. Kurt really shot himself in the foot this time.His secret plan with Tucker to put “Bailey” into a fake death state is about to be discovered by Philipand Sofie.”
Upon seeing her analyze the situation so clearly, Artemis couldn't help but laugh and say, “You're reallygetting smarter and smarter, being able to think of all this. Once the photos are released by Zoey, Sofie
and Philip will know that you aren't dead, and the situation might change. How can you not be worriedat all?”
Bailey was somewhat speechless.
“What's the rush? The suicide attacker who's impersonating me hasn't been exposed yet, right? Don'tworry. When the time comes, it won't be us who suffer, but Tucker and Kurt. Philip will teach them aharsh lesson. To be honest, Zoey's meddling has actually caused Kurt and Sofie to drift apart. Therewill definitely be major conflicts within their group.”
Artemis reached out and hugged her.
“My wife is too smart. What should I do with you?”
Bailey lazily leaned against him and said in a coquettish tone, “Hubby, I don't want to deal with theseannoying matters anymore. I'll leave them all to you to handle.”
Hearing that, Artemis reached out and pinched her nose, his voice low and husky, saying, “All right, I'llhandle it. You should have been prepared for this a long time ago.”
Bailey looked up at him. Noticing that his complexion was quite healthy, she quickly reached out tocheck his pulse.
“Has all the remaining toxin in your body been removed?”
Artemis gave a faint smile and replied, “Yes. Cameron gave me the complete dose before he left. Aftertaking it, I was cured. He probably didn't want you to face the dangers ahead, so he kindly healed me,
allowing me to shoulder this burden.”
The smile on Bailey's face became brighter.
“Well, now I can rest assured and leave everything for you to handle. Artemis, after we settle thingswith Sofie and Philip, how about we go to Illurasia and register our marriage?”
The marriage duration in Illurasia was a hundred years, and she thought that he should understand herintentions.
“Understood. I'll listen to you,” he replied.
“Hehe.”
Inside a bar in Xemrich, Kurt barged into a private room while dragging Zoey with him. After slammingthe door shut, he roughly threw her onto the couch.
Zoey felt dizzy and disoriented after the fall, unable to recover for a moment. Kurt looked at the fewprovocative photos on her phone, originally wanting to smash it to pieces on the ground.
On second thought, he held himself back. He felt that using those photos of Bailey to provoke Cameronseemed like a good idea.
That guy really likes Bailey, doesn't he? Making him see Bailey in such a humiliated state should be aform of torture too.
“Idiot! I told you to kill Bailey, but you wasted such a good opportunity and almost got me killed too. It
seems like you're asking for death.”
Zoey suddenly came to a realization and asked with a surprised look on her face, “How did you knowwhere I was? You even managed to find me at the internet cafe.”
She was filled with hatred. After all, she was just one step away from uploading those photos to theinternet. Kurt coldly glared at her and sneered.
“Do you really think I, a top poison-crafting expert who is on par with Cameron, am just for show?Before, when you came into contact with me, you picked up my scent. My poisonous mouse can trackit down. Since you couldn't complete the task, only death awaits you.”
After saying that, he approached her with a gloomy face. Zoey was terrified by his fearsomeappearance and stumbled forward, hugging his thigh.
“Please don't kill me. I promise I'll obey your orders this time and kill Bailey. Just give me one morechance.”
