Chapter 734


    Justin stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her.


    “Going to Dellmoor tomorrow? How are things with Edmund? Can you get away from it all now? I need


    to take care of Veronique, so I''m afraid I won''t be able to focus on him.”


    Bailey nodded and said, “He''s recovering quite well. We''ve been using fibrost growth factor on him


    these past few days, and his muscles have gradually started to grow back. It''s not a big issue. You just


    need to visit him a few times a day.”


    Justin''s gaze fell upon Veronique''s face, and as he looked at her paleplexion, a hint of heartache


    shed in his eyes.


    “I hope they all can pull through this. At first, I didn''t agree with this approach, but now I''vee to


    understand. If we don''t try, she''s certain to die. If we try, at least there''s a glimmer of hope.”


    After a moment of silence, Bailey cautiously said, “You should also be on guard against your mother


    and Scarlett. They are just waiting for Veronique to die so that you can marry Scarlett. If they find out


    that there''s a chance for Veronique to survive, I''m worried they might resort to underhanded tactics. In


    the end, Veronique might not die from cancer, but rather at their hands.”


    Justin nodded and smiled, saying, “You really are thoughtful. Otherwise, they would have found a


    loophole again. Don''t worry. I''ve got this. I haven''t told anyone about injecting cancer cells and toxins,


    and I won''t let anyone know about it. Once everything is settled tonight, I''ll deal with Scarlett.”


    Bailey suddenly leaned in close to his ear, lowering her voice and said, “Could you please have a few


    drinks with Cameron tonight and get him drunk? I really don''t want to bring such a dangerous person to


    Dellmoor.”


    Justin couldn''t help but give a bitter smile.


    He is, after all, the young master of the prestigious poison-crafting family. I''m afraid it won''t be easy to


    bring him down.


    “Alright, I''ll do my best.” Upon leaving the ward, Bailey received a message from Zayron:


    Bailey, Aunt Shirley has already left Hallsbay. Should we tell her about Veikko''s whereabouts? It''s quite


    heartbreaking to see her search for him so aimlessly.


    Bailey furrowed her brow.


    With that young girl''s temperament, even if she were to be brought back now, Felicity might not be able


    to control her. It''s possible that after some time, she will sneak out again. It will be better to let her face


    setbacks outside, and when she loses her patience and determination, she''ll probably give up on her


    own.


    She replied:


    Whatever you do, don''t tell her. Not only should you not say anything, but you also need to find a way


    to erase any trace of Veikko. Don''t let her find out.


    Zayron, you know exactly what he''s up to. This time, it''s life or death. If you tell Aunt Shirley, you''ll only


    be hurting her. Understand?


    Zayron texted:


    I know. I''ll send some top female special agents to protect and guide her to a safe ce to search. I will


    make sure she doesn''t end up in the Carter family''s territory.


    Bailey curved her lips into a smile.


    My son has grown up and now knows how to handle emergencies.


    She answered:


    Alright, it''s up to you. You''ll be in charge of the Saviorster on, so it''s good to get familiar with it


    beforehand. By the way, how''s Sebastian doing now? Is his emotional state stable?


    Zayron texted back:


    He''s fine. He''s taking it well. He knows that his mom''s life isn''t in danger at the moment, so he''s not too


    worried.


    Bailey breathed a sigh of relief and instructed:


    I have to go to Dellmoor tomorrow. Keep a close eye on him, and if anything happens, call me


    immediately.


    Zayron replied:


    Oh, what should I do if I want to go to Dellmoor with you?


    Bailey squinted slightly. She then texted:


    I think you''re looking for a beating.


    At Moranta, inside the private farm in the pitch-ck storage room, silence prevailed. One could faintly


    see a slender figure tied to a pir through the dim light.


    Sobs echoed throughout the room, reaching every corner.


    With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open, and the light from outside streamed in, instantly


    illuminating the entire room.


    The woman tied to the pir squinted her eyes, waiting to adjust to the surrounding light before slowly


    lifting her eyelids.


    “Ms. Hoffman, are you getting used to living here?” asked Sofie with a smile. Wendy stared at her for a


    moment, then gritted her teeth and asked, “Did you order them to kidnap me? Who are you?”


    Sofie paced over to her and gently patted her cheek, smiling as she said, “You know, I''m going to be


    your future aunt-inw. Since we''ll be family soon, how about you answer my questions?”


    Wendy turned her face away, avoiding her touch, and sneered.


    “So it''s the mistress, the one who can''t be seen in public. Yet, you still have the nerve to try and call


    yourself my family.”


    After speaking, she slowly closed her eyes,pletely ignoring her. Sofie smiled faintly.


    “You''re not the daughter of a rich family anymore, but you still have the airs of one. I know you''re


    stubborn, but I won''t force you.”


    After she finished speaking, she shouted toward the door, “Bring them in!”


    The next moment, two ck-d bodyguards escorted a middle-aged noblewoman into the room.


    “Wends, what''s wrong? I''m sorry, I''m so sorry. I shouldn''t have called you back. If you hadn''t returned,


    they wouldn''t have caught you.”


    Wendy suddenly opened her eyes, and upon recognizing the noblewoman in front of her, she


    eximed anxiously, “Aunt Miranda, howe you''re here?” Miranda sobbed.


    “They used your phone to ask me out, and I didn''t suspect anything, so I fell into their trap. Don''t worry


    about me. Are you alright? Did they hurt you?”


    Wendy didn''t respond. Her gaze fell on Sofie, angrily saying, “What on earth do you want? How has my


    aunt offended you? Let her go, hurry up and let her go.”

    Sofie raised her eyebrows and said with a lightugh, “I''ve captured her and already rmed the


    Hoffman family. If I let her go without doing anything, wouldn''t that be a huge loss? How about this? As


    long as you answer a few questions for me, I''ll let her go immediately. Otherwise... I''m afraid she''ll die


    today.”


    After she finished speaking, she signaled one of the bodyguards. He immediately drew a dagger from


    his waist and pressed it against the charming face of Miranda. If a sharp de were to cut through the


    skin, one could easily imagine the consequences. Miranda let out a few sharp screams.


    “Wends, save me, save me! If my face is ruined, my life is over. Your uncle will definitely kick me out.”


    Wendy gritted her teeth and said to Sofie, “Fine, you ask, and I''ll answer. Once we''re done with the


    questions, you must let my aunt go.” Sofie smiled gracefully.


    “Of course. Once I get the answer, I will let her go. Now, Ms. Wendy, please answer the first question:


    Is your son, in fact, Holden''s child?”


    Wendy was no fool. Upon hearing this, she knew it was aimed at Holden, and the situation was


    definitely not as simple as it seemed.


    “Who said my son is Holden''s? I am Lionel''s wife. Naturally, my son is Lionel''s child.”


    “Your eyes are evasive. Are you not telling the truth? Fine, let me show you some colors then.”


    Then, she turned to the bodyguard holding the dagger and ordered, “sh her face for me.”


    “Yes.”


    Upon receiving the order, the bodyguard raised his knife and thrust it toward Miranda''s face.
