Female Novel
Chapter 829
It is the sweetest thing to most people to become one with the person they love.
That feeling was like mixing honey with oil, both rich and sweet.
Artemis smirked, pulling her tightly into his embrace, and said in a husky voice, “As long as youunderstand, let me be with you every day from now on. You will definitely be very happy, there won't bea moment where you feel tired.”
Bailey traced circles over his heart with her hand, her eyes curved in a smile. Her beautiful eyes werefilled with laughter, and between her glances and her charming demeanor, she exuded an irresistibleallure.
“I see you'd love to stick by my side every day. It seems all men have the potential to becomedebauched monarchs.
“That's because I am mesmerized by a fairy.”
Err... What the hell?
Peep...
A series of notification tones sounded.
Artemis reached out a hand to grab the cell phone on the table.
After reading the message, he sat up holding Bailey, “Bay, there's news from over there. They say
Sofie has already assembled her forces, ready to launch a full-scale attack on Tarragon.”
“I might need to go back. Holden might not be able to handle it alone, after all, Wendy is in Sofie'shands, he's bound to be affected.”
Bailey nestled softly in his arms, letting out a gentle hum, “Mr. Doyle, Sofie, Mr. Philip, plus the power ofthe Carter family, Holden indeed can't handle it all by himself.”
“Now we're just waiting to reel in the net. You'll definitely have to go back once, remember to take mewith you, or don't even think about leaving this base.”
Artemis couldn't help but laugh.
He knew she would propose to go together.
It seems that nothing could tear her away from his side in this world.
“Alright then, I indeed feel uneasy leaving you here alone. So, come with me.”
“That's more like it. Don't even think about drugging me. If you dare to do that, I'll just go with anyrandom man... Hmm.”
The words she was about to say next were silenced by his assertive kiss.
Inside the study of a mansion.
Sofie was currently video-calling with Holden.
“How about it, Mr. Lewitt, have you made up your mind?”
Holden looked at her coldly, his voice calm. “When you attack Tarragon's headquarters, I will certainlydisarm all defenses, allowing you to advance smoothly and without any losses.”
“Good.” Sofie laughed heartily. “Mr. Lewitt, you truly live up to your reputation as a tough man, alwaysso straightforward. If you're willing, you're still welcome to stay and manage things at Tarragon.”
Of course, these were just polite words. If he dared to stay in Tarragon, she would certainly seize theopportunity to kill him.
Having a formidable character like Holden by her side was truly perilous. She had to be constantly onguard, wary of the possibility that he might turn against her.
“No need for that. All I ask is for Ms. Carr to allow me to leave with my sister and Micah. Also,remember to bring my woman over. I want her to return to my side safely.”
“Sounds good, then it's settled.”
“Mm-hmm.”
After cutting the video, Sofie leaned back on the sofa and began to laugh with satisfaction.
Once Mr. Doyle was eliminated, the vast underground force of Tarragon would be entirely hers.
She refused to settle for anything less. If she were to do something, she would want to become aqueen who stood above all men.
And the position of Tarragon leader could fulfill her lifelong wish.
...
In a suburban underground warehouse.
Zoey was tied to a wooden stake, her mouth sealed with tape. A series of muffled sounds came fromher nostrils.
Kurt stood in front of her, holding a vial of potion, smiling with a chilling coldness.
“Do you know I've been in love with a woman and pursued her for many years? Yet, the man sheconstantly thinks about is the one who avoids her as if she's a venomous snake.
“I was so envious, and consumed by jealousy. Eventually, these feelings morphed into hatred. I wantedto kill that man to take her back.
“Perhaps you might say, just kill them, your poison skills are so formidable, isn't killing someone thesimplest thing to you?
“Isn't it ironic how fate loves to play tricks on us? I couldn't possibly poison him because his skills inpoison far surpass mine. Isn't that just sad?
“But that's okay. Over the past few years, I've developed a new toxin, a toxin that no one in the worldcan counteract. Now, all that's left is to conduct live experiments.
“Once this poison is successfully developed, I'll use it on that b*stard, forcing the woman I love to begme.”
“Mmm, mmm, mmm...”
Zoey didn't take in anything else, only the phrase “all that's left is to conduct live experiments” wasetched into her mind.
No, don't.
She didn't want to be a carrier of poison.
She couldn't bear such a torture.
“Mmm, mmm, mmm...”
Kurt reached out and patted her cheek, sneering coldly, “You don't want to do that? That's not up to youthough. Just remember that all this you're enduring is because of Cameron, the young master of theYablon family. When you get the chance, kill him to avenge yourself.”
Having said that, he abruptly jabbed the needle into her arm.
Zoey's pupils contracted sharply, her face gradually contorting.
The moment the poison entered her body, she felt a heart-wrenching, bone-eroding pain, as if millionsof flesh-eating ants were gnawing at her flesh.
“Mmm, mmm, mmm...”
She wanted to alleviate the intense pain coursing through her body by screaming, but with tape overher mouth, even a roar became a luxury she could only hope for.
Kurt watched her face contort in pain, the cruel smirk on his lips became more pronounced.
He could vaguely see the image of Blaze kneeling before him and pleading.
That woman is deeply in love with Cameron, isn't she? Unfortunately, he had concocted a poison thatthey couldn't cure and administered it to Cameron. With that, he expected Blaze to obediently come tohim for help.
“Cameron, you're going to meet a terrible end.”
At the research base.
Inside the study.
Zeke and Veikko were comfortably seated on the sofa, while the disguised Artemis and Bailey stoodnearby.
Zeke looked at Artemis, pointed to Bailey with one hand, and asked through gritted teeth, “Are youreally going to take this sickly woman with you to Tarragon?”
Bailey rolled her eyes.
Hmph! You are really my dear brother.
“It's not like I'm asking for your approval, I'm just letting you know. What's with the fuss?”
In a fit of anger, Zeke picked up the tissue box from the table and hurled it toward her forehead.
“Get out of my sight.”
Artemis quickly pulled her into his arms, nodding his head and said, “Zeke, don't lose your temper.You're well aware of what she's like, don't take it too seriously. The only one you're hurting with youranger is yourself.” novelbin
Zeke rubbed his brow, his voice softening as he said, “Her health isn't in good shape, she really can'tafford to go through any more torment. Please, do me a favor and let her stay in Moranta.”
Bailey hummed, “That won't do. Wherever he goes, I go too. You can't stop me.”
“You...”
Artemis tapped her forehead and sighed, “Ms. Jefferson, can you talk less? You've upset your brotherto the point of him getting a heart attack.”
Bailey couldn't help but grumble, “Having a brother is such a hassle, he has to meddle in everything.Hurry up and marry me, then he won't be able to interfere.”
...
In a fit of anger, Zeke stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Bailey blinked her eyes and said to Veikko, “Hurry up and arrange a private jet to take us out of thecountry.”
Huh?
Doesn't this woman see that Zeke is furious?
Just as Veikko was about to get up, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
Upon checking, it was a call from Shaun.
