Chapter 728


    At Century Hotel, inside a luxurious suite, Cameronzily leaned back on the sofa. He held a ss of


    wine in his hand and carefully savored it. The phone on the table rang, and upon picking it up, he found


    that it was a call from a subordinate.


    “What''s the matter?”

    “Mr. Yablon, Mr. Shurmer has investigated your whereabouts and should know that you went to


    Gruidae Mortuary to meet Mr. Jefferson. He also knows that it was us who destroyed Mr. Jefferson''s


    remains.”


    When he heard that, Cameron''s handsome face didn''t show any signs of surprise. This was the


    territory of Bailey and Zeke. Given his weak foundation, it was not surprising that they would be able to


    track his whereabouts once he went out.


    “All right, I got it. You guys stay hidden and don''t let Bailey find you. I''m afraid that woman might take


    her anger out on you.”


    “Yes.”


    After hanging up the call, Cameron took out a porcin bottle from his pocket. The pills contained


    within were meticulously developed by him, capable of breaking Bailey''s hypnosis and dream-tailoring


    skill.


    Once, he fell victim to her hypnosis, and she disfigured his face. He watched helplessly as she


    escaped right under his nose, and that incident was his most frustrating experience.


    After returning to the Yablon family, he specifically researched and developed this type of pill. By


    consuming just one pill, it could counteract the effects of Bailey''s hypnosis. She knew he had gone to


    the mortuary to meet rence, and he was certain she would confront him.


    To get him to tell the truth, there was only one way, which was by hypnotizing him. In his lifetime, falling


    into her trap once was enough. He certainly didn''t want to fall for it twice. The doorbell at the entrance


    hall rang.


    He tilted his head to look at theptop beside him, gazing at the slender figure on the screen.


    The smile on his lips grew wider. He knew she would definitelye looking for him, asking about the


    reason for burning the corpse of rence and inquiring if Artemis had been poisoned.


    After a brief silence, he slowly unscrewed the porcin bottle, took a pill out of it, and swallowed it.


    After the pill dissolved, he paced over to the entrance and opened the door.


    “So, have you figured it out? Are you ready to dump Artemis aside ande with me to the Yablon


    residence?”


    In response, a fist came smashing toward him.


    Cameron kept retreating, dodging her fatal blow, and said solemnly, “Bailey, what''s gotten into you?


    How have I offended you? You were the one who asked me toe to Hallsbay. Is this how you show


    your sincerity and hospitality?”


    Bailey ignored him and threw another punch toward his face. Left with no choice, Cameron had to


    make a move. As a result, he swung his hand, his palm hitting her right on the shoulder and sending


    her staggering backward. A hint of surprise shed through Cameron''s eyes.


    No, I didn''t use much force at all. How did this woman end up retreating after being hit?


    Just as she was about to smash her back against the wall, he hurriedly lunged forward and grabbed


    her arm. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he pulled her into his embrace.


    As he got closer, he noticed that her forehead was covered in sweat, and her body seemed weak and


    limp.


    “What''s going on? How did your body end up like this?”


    Bailey couldn''t help but let out a bitter smile. “I''mpletely drained. I had a miscarriage before and


    didn''t take care of my body properly. Then, I was soaked in the freezing snow for over an hour. My


    body justpletely broke down.”


    Cameron gritted his teeth and said, “What about Artemis? Didn''t he do anything? How did he let you


    be like this? Can''t you take good care of your own body?”


    Bailey forced a smile and slowly reached out to hook her arm around his neck. Cameron''s attention


    was entirely focused on her pale face, his heart aching with worry. He couldn''t possibly care about


    anything else at that moment.


    In the past, when he faced her in a battle, he simply couldn''t defeat her in terms of techniques. At most,


    they would end up in a draw. Such formidablebat prowess and agile movements made her the


    most admirable woman he had ever known.


    However, at that moment... She leaned against him, and he could hardly feel any sign of life from her.


    She was as fragile as a porcin doll, seemingly ready to shatter with just a touch. A snapping sound


    in his ear brought him back from his wandering thoughts.


    He was all too familiar with the sound. Every time she performed her hypnosis, she would snap her


    fingers right by the person''s ear. She was quite clever, using subtle tactics to bypass his defenses,


    causing him to lower his guard, and then she seized the opportunity to strike.


    However, on the other hand, if he hadn''t given her this opportunity, she couldn''t have done that. Simply


    put, it was because he was willing to make it happen.


    “Cameron, look into my eyes.”


    The enchanting sound of her voice reached his ears. If he hadn''t taken the pill beforehand, he would


    have undoubtedly sumbed to her spell. His eagle-like gaze slowly shifted downward, colliding with


    her line of sight. He tried his best to empty his mind, making it appear as if he had already fallen deep


    into her hypnosis.


    Bailey watched as his pupils gradually dted, losing focus after a moment.


    She asked word by word, “Who did you see at the mortuary?”


    Cameron replied nkly, “Mr. Jefferson.”


    Bailey furrowed her brows. Indeed, he had gone to meet rence.


    “Why did you cremate his body? What exactly are you trying to cover up?”


    “To avenge Bailey. That old bastard is truly despicable, causing so much misery to her. I just wanted to


    cremate him and turn him into ashes, denying him the chance to have a proper burial.”


    A hint of surprise shed across Bailey''s face. Was that the case? Did Cameron burn rence''s


    corpse just to avenge me?


    “Had rence been poisoned?”


    Cameron''s gaze was rather nk. “No, I am the heir of the best poison-crafting family. I can tell at a


    nce if someone has been poisoned, and he wasn''t poisoned.”


    Bailey pursed her lips. Could it be that I''m overthinking it?


    She still couldn''t let it go and asked again, “What about Artemis? Is he poisoned too?”


    A hint of doubt shed across Cameron''s eyes. “Artemis? What poison?”


    Bailey''s legs suddenly went weak, and she almost fell to the ground. Her health had never been great,


    and after all the turmoil, she felt even worse.


    The hypnosis had drained her mental energy, and she struggled to hold on. With a snap of her fingers


    near his ear, she slid down his body and copsed, sitting directly on the floor.


    Cameron snapped out of his daze and found himself sitting on the floor as well. He looked at her


    intently, seeing her face covered in sweat, and couldn''t help but feel distressed.


    Heughed and scolded, “You''ve really lost all sense of decency. I tried to help you out of kindness, yet


    you used hypnosis on me.”


    Bailey bitterly smiled and shook her head. “There''s no other way. If I asked you seriously, you wouldn''t


    answer. I can only resort to this method.”


    Cameron snorted coldly and asked, “Did you find the answer you were looking for?”


    Bailey straightened her body, looking at him earnestly, and asked, “Why exactly did you want to


    cremate the corpse of rence?”


    Cameron nodded and said, “He bullied you, and I originally wanted to burn him to ashes and scatter his


    remains. However, considering that he raised you, I decided to let it go.”
