Chapter 874 You Reap What You Sow
Bailey furrowed her brows. Simon might not have heard of parasitic fragrance, so he doesn't know howlethal this thing can be. Even if I were to tell him, he would probably still be in the dark.
After a moment of silence, she uttered cautiously, “The Yablon family has a poison known as SoulReaper. I presume you're already aware of its toxicity. Similarly, the Rogers family also has a prohibitedfragrance, named parasitic fragrance, which is composed of countless types of flower pollen andparasitic worms. This thing is vicious. It was created by a genius from the Rogers family decades ago,and it has harmed many people. It was eventually banned.”
Simon understood as soon as she said that, and his handsome face instantly turned pale. I know howformidable Soul Reaper is. The situation must have been dire for Artemis to call me and set up a will. Itmust have been a matter of life and death. Fortunately for him, he found Cameron and Bailey. Theysaved his life. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be left with no choice but to await theirfate. Since parasitic fragrance and Grim Reaper are equally renowned, it has to be very dangerous aswell...
At that thought, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Bailey's wrist. In an anxious tone, he uttered, “B-Bailey, she is my daughter and your niece. You must save her. I'm begging you. She's still so young,and her life has just begun. We can't just stand by and watch her go...”
Bailey held her forehead with the other arm and sighed. “I'm at a loss for now, but you shouldn't worrytoo much. Although parasitic fragrance is deadly, it's a type of toxin. When it comes to detoxification,Cameron is more proficient than I am. I—”
Before she could finish speaking, Simon hurriedly reached into his pocket to pull out his phone. “That'sright. Yes. Cameron should be able to detoxify it. I'll call him right away and ask for his help.”
After he finished speaking, he walked off to the side with his phone.
Bailey smiled and looked at Artemis, who was beside him. “They say that a man matures overnightonce he becomes a father. Well, we now know that the statement is true. Before today, Simon wasnaive and immature. You were worried that he couldn't shoulder the responsibilities of having a family.Now, in the blink of an eye, he's transformed completely. The bond between father and daughter isindeed wonderful.”
Artemis rolled his eyes, and a mischievous glint flashed across his gaze.
Bailey knew she was doomed when she saw the look on his face. “What do you want?”
Artemis leaned in close to his wife and whispered, “I want to hand over the position of the head of theLuther family to that young man. That way, I can accompany you to travel around the world, and wecan even have a baby.”
Pfft!
Bailey couldn't help but burst out laughing. This guy initially had his mind set on Max, and he waseager to nurture the little one to take over his position quickly. Perhaps he has realized that his son isonly eight years old and can't shoulder heavy responsibilities, so he shifted his focus onto Simon.
“That young man hasn't even won the girl's heart yet. Even if you want to step back and let him takecharge, you should at least wait until he's settled down with his wife,” Bailey replied.
Upon hearing that, Artemis reached out and stroked his chin. His eyes then gradually lit up. “I'll go findZayron later. That little rascal must have a way to help Simon win the girl's heart sooner.”
Bailey was rendered speechless. So, it turns out my son has inherited his father's mischievousbehaviors.
Right then, Veikko came walking over from a distance. “I'm heading back to the Saviors. If anythingcomes up, give me a call.”
Bailey mulled over it and uttered softly, “Wait a moment. I'll have the housekeeper relay your departurenews to that imposter first. When she finds out you're leaving, she'll surely be all over you. You can usethis to lead her to the Saviors. After that, we'll proceed as we originally planned.”
Veikko furrowed his brows. I don't want to be with that imposter. I'll be disgusted!
Seeing the displeasure written on his face, Bailey reminded him with a half-smile. “If you want to saveCaridee, you must do this. If you don't take the imposter to the Saviors, how will we know what Shaunplans to do next? Although Caridee knows hypnosis, she is, after all, in a dangerous situation whereanything can happen at any moment. If you don't want to live a life of regret, follow my plan. Take thatimposter to the Saviors and keep a close watch on her every move.” novelbin
Veikko gave in. “All right, then. I'll wait here for a bit to see if she'll come over and bother me.”
“Even if she doesn't come, we'll have to find a way to lure her in. You'll then drag her to the Saviors.”
With that, she reached out and pinched Veikko's cheek. “Don't look so tense and unapproachable,” shescolded.
Just as Bailey predicted, the imposter hurried over twenty minutes later.
“Veikko, are you leaving?” Bailey gave Veikko a meaningful glance.
Veikko reluctantly went up and held the imposter. Afterward, he replied casually, “Yes. My fight withShaun isn't over yet. I need to go back and plan the next steps.”
“I'll go with you,” said the imposter.
Veikko patted her back, objecting, “Now that Bailey and Simon are here, I think it's safer for you to stayhere.”
After he finished speaking, he gently pushed her away, gave her cheek a playful pinch, and strolledtoward the elevator. If I stay any longer, I might lose control of myself. That face makes me feel sick!She's a woman Shaun had toyed around with. How am I supposed to see her as Caridee? Caridee ispure and sweet. She is far beyond what this worthless imposter can ever replace. Even though shelooks and sounds identical to Caridee, her smell is different. Her smell makes me want to throw up.
“Veikko, I want to go with you.” Astrid hugged him from behind.
The veins on Veikko's forehead bulged in frustration, but the thought of Mindy waiting to greet her atthe Saviors immediately put him at ease. “Fine. If I don't take you with me, I'm afraid you'll causetrouble again.”
With that, he turned his head toward Bailey and asked, “Can I take her to the Saviors?”
Bailey was holding back a laugh. It's truly rare to see this fellow with such a bitter expression. It's asthough he's swallowed a fly.
“Next, I have to deal with Sofie and Mr. Philip. I don't have time to look after this girl. Simon also needsto deal with his private matter, so he probably won't have time to care for her. It's a good idea to takeher to the Saviors. It's the safest place right now. There's no need to constantly feel on edge,” Baileyreplied.
“All right, then. I'll take her with me.” Veikko unhesitatingly grabbed the imposter's wrist and headedtoward the elevator.
Bailey watched the two figures receding, or to be precise, he was watching Astrid's retreating figure, atrace of icy look flashed across her gaze. You'll reap what you sow. While Astrid's plight is indeedpitiful, it's a bit excessive to lay all the blame on Caridee. Astrid ended up in this situation due toTucker's actions, with Shaun as his accomplice. Astrid chose not to seek revenge on them and plottedagainst Caridee and Veikko instead. Things are bound to end badly for her.
Under the escort of the personnel dispatched by Bailey, Sofie and Damien arrived safely in Moranta.
That night, Sofie called Philip and asked, “Old geezer, I'll ask you one last time. Which son are youreally supporting to take over?”
