Chapter 730
Raiden spread his hands, his face showingplete indifference.
“Well, she will not enter the Fletcher residence, then. I guess she wouldn''t want to be there, either.
Even if you invited her, she wouldn''t be willing. Let''s have Dad go to the mansion instead. We can get
treated there. Out of sight, out of mind. You won''t be annoyed by us if you can''t see us.”
“You...”
Tamara was so angry that her whole body trembled, but she couldn''t do anything to him. She wouldn''t
let Bailey enter the Fletcher residence, so Raiden took drastic action and transferred his father away
instead. She was speechless.
“Ungrateful child, don''t bring disaster upon your father. I won''t allow you to do this. I will persuade your
father immediately so he doesn''t join you in this reckless behavior.”
After saying that, she strode toward the door. Raiden didn''t try to stop her. For now, he doesn''t seem to
have any significant issues.
Once that woman causes trouble with her treatment, she will probably be afraid.
The only thing he could do at this time was to wait and see how things unfold.
Once she has nowhere else to turn, she''ll naturally find the Bailey valuable.
At Tarragon Headquarters, in the master bedroom, Artemis coughed up blood again. His face was
ashen. Leaning against the head of the bed, he struggled to breathe, exuding an air of sickly frailty.
Henley stood by the bedside, squinting at him. He sighed and said, “You must be aware of the poison
you''ve been afflicted with. Since Mr. Yablon cannot detoxify it, we can only put our hopes on the
ancient books left behind by Maerlus. Only Bailey knows where these ancient books are. Before
Maerlus passed away, he must have told her about it. If you keep this from her, you''re cutting off your
own future.”
A bitter smile shed across Artemis'' handsome face as he asked with a torn voice, “How confident are
you in developing an antidote? If Bailey gets involved, will it definitely save my life?”
Henley fell silent. Maerlus had spent more than half his life researching the antidote for Soul Reaper.
However, in the end, he gained nothing and even got himself killed.
The Yablon family had devoted themselves for several generations, painstakingly researching this
poison for decades. Yet, in the end, they still couldn''t find a way to master it.
Without theplete poison form, it''s impossible to find the corresponding antidote that
complemented and antagonized it.
“Give it a try. At least there''s hope. If you don''t try, you can only wait for death. At the very least, I can''t
save you. Don''t expect me to be able to keep your life. Maerlus studied antidotes his whole life, and in
the end, he died abruptly. My medical skills are far inferior to his, so I am self-aware that I cannot cure
this poison.”
Artemis nodded and said, “Bailey is a disciple of Maerlus, who taught her everything he knew. If her
master couldn''t solve the poison, she naturally wouldn''t be able to either. Telling her would only cause
her troubles.”
Henley red at him and said, “Blockhead.”
Then, he walked out of the room. Holden walked in from outside and said, “The remnants of the
headquarters have been wiped out. We can now set off back to Hallsbay. However, if you return like
this, Bailey will be able to tell at a nce.”
“Let''s not go back to Hallsbay, then. Follow the lead of Dominic and see if you can find any trace of
Sofie. I can''t apany Bailey on the rest of her journey. The only thing I can do... is to eliminate all
obstacles for her.”
Holden sighed softly, ready to speak and persuade. Artemis sensed what he was about to say and
quickly waved his hand.
“I''ve made up my mind. There''s no need to say more. Keep this matter low-key and don''t let Bailey find
out.”
Holden still wanted to speak. Artemis seemed to have thought of something and said, “I just received
news that Sofie has kidnapped Wendy. Do you want to go save your woman?”
Holden was somewhat bewildered. Upon realizing the situation, his body shuddered violently, and a
hint of astonishment shed in his eyes.
“How did Wendy end up in Sofie''s hands? Wasn''t she at the medical base? Could Sofie''s people have
taken her away right under Bailey''s watch?”
Artemis briefly exined the course of events and nodded, saying, “You can''t me Bailey for this.
She only guaranteed that your woman would be safe within the medical base. However, your woman
believed the rumors and went there on her own ord, so no one else can be held responsible for
that.”
Holden couldn''t help but let out a bitter smile.
“I know, and I don''t me Bailey either. Fine, since you refuse to return to Hallsbay and don''t want
Bailey to know about your situation, let''s join forces to eliminate Sofie and put an end to this once and
for all.”
“Okay.”
At the same time, inside the dungeon of Holden''s ce, piercing screams of agony echoed from the
secret chamber, lingering in the air for what seemed like an eternity.
Shannon applied the Bone-shredding Hormones to Yvette, painfully peeling off ayer of flesh and
blood from her body. The entire air was filled with a strong scent of blood.
Shannon stood in the center of the secret chamber, coldly watching the woman wailing and screaming
in the pool of blood as waves of vengeful pleasure washed over her.
She had been waiting and longing for this moment far too long. The pent-up anger in her heart surged
like a river breaking through a dam, unstoppable and overflowing.
Oh, how frustrating! N?velDrama.Org content.
The pain of a severed arm, the pain of losing a child, the pain of never being able to be a mother for a
lifetime. No one could bear such manifold sufferings. She had been living like a walking corpse up until
this moment, with only the pursuit of vengeance sustaining her. This moment had finally arrived. She
was naturally determined to vent all her hatred and pain to the one responsible for it all.
“Does it hurt a lot? The pain you once caused me was just like this. No, you''re feeling physical pain
now, while my pain was in the heart, making it ten times worse than yours. It''s a shame that there''s no
one you care about. Otherwise, I would kill them and let you taste the misery of a fate worse than
death.”
Yvette''s palms pressed against the ground as she slowly raised her head, gritting her teeth and
speaking word by word.
“Go on, keep torturing me. Even if you grind my bones to dust, your arm won''t return. Your son won''t
being back, too. In the end, you''re the one at a loss because you still have decades left in your
life, which is more than enough time for you to suffer.”
“Is that so?”
Shannon smiled faintly and continued leisurely, “Since Micah orchestrated none of this, there''s no need
for me to hate him. We love each other, and if we spend the rest of our lives together, we can enjoy the
peace and tranquility of time.”
The sinister smile on Yvette''s face froze.
“No, no, no, you can''t forgive Micah. After all, he watched your arm get ruined back then and didn''t say
a word. You can''t forgive him. How could you forgive him?”
Shannon probably found her fatal weakness. Thest thing this woman wanted to face was the
happiness of the person she once tormented beyond measure for the rest of her life. This might be the
biggest blow to her. Thinking of this, she turned around and shouted to the outside,
“Micah, she doesn''t believe that we''ve let bygones be bygones. Do you want toe in and prove it?”
Naturally, Micah wouldn''t refuse.
Even if Shannon wanted his life now, he would not hesitate to pierce his own chest and then dig out his
heart to give it to her. Once Micah approached her, she smiled.
Then, she reached out with one hand to wrap around Micah''s neck, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed
his thin lips.
