Chapter 739
Philipughed heartily.
“Great. What are we waiting for? Just say yes to his request! It''s a good opportunity, and we shouldn''t
let it go to waste.”
“All right, then I''ll go negotiate with him.”
“Go ahead.” Tucker turned around to leave but suddenly stopped as if struck by a thought.
“Father, should we send Juliana and Huntley to Intel Ind? Keeping them in the family is like having a
ticking time bomb.”
“No way.” Without giving it a second thought, Philip immediately objected.
“Raymond is still the head of the family. He has discussed their marriage arrangement with the elders,
intending for the couple to live an ordinary life within the family. We cannot secretly sabotage this, or
else we''ll lose our credibility, and no one would support us in the future.” Tucker nodded.
“All right, I''ll listen to you. I''ll go contact Shaun now. I hope we can achieve great things this time. As
long as we took over Tarragon, we won''t need Uncle Raymond to step down as we can just force him
to hand over his power.”
“That''s right. Go ahead.”
Leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room of a private mansion in the eastern suburb
of Radford, Veikko was holding his phone, taking a call.
“He went to Moranta? What for?”
“Mr. Carter went at the invitation of the Hoffman family''s coteral rtive, Tucker Hoffman. As for the
purpose, I haven''t found out yet. Please give me some more time.”
“All right. Keep investigating and report back to me as soon as you have any news. By the way, where
is Ms. Caridee now?”
“Lofbury. Mr. Yablon''s men have lured her there. Don''t worry. She won''t be able to find you.” Veikko
slightly lowered his head, a trace of gloom flickering in his eyes.
She still refuses to give up. I can''t believe she even follows me all the way to a foreign country. Do I
really have toy bare my bloody past and dissect it all in front of her before she''s willing to let go?
Having gone through what he had gone through, he was utterly repulsed and disgusted by romance
and intimacy between men and women. It was likely that he would never form a union with a woman for
the rest of his life.
Why is she pestering me? Does she want to live the rest of her life like a widow?
“Find out where Shaun''s wife and child are.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Bailey arrived at Tarragon Headquarters at four o''clock in the early morning on the second day when
the sky was still dark.
Zeke stood by the window in the private jet, holding a telescope in his hand.

After scanning the surroundings, he furrowed his brows and said, “You sneaked over here without
informing Artemis. Can we even get in?”
Bailey lifted the nket off her body and walked towards the window.
“I''ve contacted Shannon, and she''ll help us out. She''ll make sure our private jet cannd smoothly, so
you don''t need to worry.”
Zeke turned to look at her and asked with a frown, “Why didn''t you tell Artemis? What are you
nning?” Bailey grinned.
“Can''t I give him a surprise? We haven''t seen each other for so many days, so he must miss me a lot.
Heh. Just thinking about it makes me feel that he would be really happy and excited about my sudden
appearance. When he''s happy, I''ll be happy too. All my joy is tied to him.”
Zeke shook his head helplessly, then reached out and flicked her forehead hard.
“Where''s your spine?”
Beep!
Bailey''s phone rang in her hand.
“It''s a navigation sent by Shannon. Take it to the captain and have him descend ording to these
geographical coordinates.”
Zeke acknowledged and took the phone before heading towards the cockpit. Bailey gazed at the
majestic buildings below, and couldn''t help but marvel in her heart.
As expected of the world''s top power, this headquarters was truly magnificent. It was no wonder
Tarragon held an unshakable position in the international arena.
People like Philip and Sofie who thought they could bring down Tarragon with just a few despicable
tricks were simply daydreaming.
This organization, even without the backbones, Artemis, Holden, and Micah, could still survive in
desperate situations. It was not something other people like them could easily shake. Ten minutester,
the private jet came to a halt on the tarmac.
Stepping out of the cabin, Bailey saw Shannon waving at her from a distance. She instantly quickened
her pace. After descending the steps, she embraced Shannon tightly. She could feel that thetter
seemed to be much more rxed after taking her revenge.
In the past, she found Shannon depressing. Every time she looked at thetter, she felt an urge to cry.
Shannon''s life was a tapestry of stories, each one woven with her tears and blood.
As one read on, they would find themselves immersed in the story, and before they knew it, tears would
start to flow down their cheeks uncontrobly.
But now that Shannon had gotten her revenge, Bailey seemed to no longer feel that oppressive and
sorrowful emotion within the former.
“Shannon, the future still holds promise, so don''t give up easily.”
Shannon rested her head on her shoulder and said, her voice cracking, “Bailey, thank you. If it weren''t
for you, I wouldn''t have made it this far. You gave me a new life. Don''t worry. The hardest days are
behind me. From now on, I won''t take my own life easily.”
Baileyughed and patted her on the back, raising an eyebrow.
“My dear, I''m here to see my man. Can we catch up another day?” Shannon couldn''t help but let out a
chuckle.
“All right, all right. I know you didn''t tell Leader you wereing to the Tarragon Headquarters because
you wanted to surprise him. So, I won''t keep you any longer. Let''s go. I''ll take you to the headquarters.”
Bailey grinned.
“My dear knows me best. I can''t live without a man now. By the way, how has Artemis been doing
lately?”
Shannon didn''t detect the probing tone in her words andughed, saying, “He''s doing great. Last night,
he was drinking with Holden and Micah in the headquarters. I heard they just finished drinking not too
long ago. If you go there now, you might catch him in his drunken state.”
After hearing this, Bailey felt her heart gradually grow colder.
Why did he suddenly stay up all night drinking?
She didn''t want to guess anymore. Once she went to the headquarters and met him, everything would
be clear. They weaved through theplex of buildings, and it took them a full ten minutes to
reach the headquarters. It seemed that Holden had received the news and wasing out of the main
hall.
“Mrs. Luther, what brings you here?”
Bailey stared nkly at the luxurious and exquisite pce-like building before her. After a moment of
silence, she said slowly, “Since you''ve already called me ''Mrs. Luther,'' it means you''ve acknowledged
my identity. Take me to see him.”
A hint of hesitation shed across Holden''s eyes.
“Leader has had too much to drink and is quite intoxicated. It''s not convenient for him to meet outsiders
at the moment. Why don''t you go with Shannon to her ce? You can meet him first thing tomorrow
morning—”
Before he could finish speaking, Bailey directly walked past him and strode towards the main hall.
Zeke nced at Holden and quickly followed her. Holden lowered his voice as he said to Shannon,
“Why didn''t you tell me Mrs. Luther ising?” Shannon was a bit bewildered as she stared nkly at
him.
“Holden, Bailey wanted to give Leader a surprise, so I didn''t say anything. What''s going on? Why do
you look so anxious?” Holden clenched his teeth in frustration.
“How can I not be anxious? Leader is sleeping with another woman.” Shannon widened her eyes,
looking at him in disbelief.
“Holden, are you joking with me? B-But this joke isn''t funny at all.”
