Chapter 740
How could this happen? How could Artemis, who loves Bailey so much, possibly do that kind of thing
with another woman?
“What''s going on, Holden?” Holden nced at her and said solemnly, “Don''t worry about what
happened for now. Hurry up and stop Bailey, then take her to your ce.”
Shannon''s face turned pale as she strode towards the hall. She shouldn''t have secretly brought Bailey
in without telling them.
She should have informed her brother beforehand, then this kind of situation wouldn''t have happened.
Holden watched the group acting in such a scurry, and aplex emotion shed across his eyes.
I hope this act can sessfully deceive Bailey.
He knew what was on Artemis''s mind. Since thetter couldn''t apany the one he loved for the rest
of her life, he had no choice but to steel his heart and force her to let go.
Otherwise, he could only watch helplessly as she gave up her own life to die together with him. If a
man truly loved a woman, he wouldn''t want her to risk her life to be with him. Living a good life was the
best oue he wanted for her.
Shannon ran over hastily and grabbed Bailey''s arm before saying with a smile, “Bay, it''s not quite
appropriate for Zeke to follow you to Leader''s bedroom.”
Bailey nced back at her, then looked at Zeke. She nodded and said, “You''re right. Zeke, you and
Shannon should go rest. I can go up there alone.”
Shannon''s almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.
“That won''t do. How can a grown man like hime to rest with me? Why don''t you apany him
instead? I''m not familiar with your brother, and it would be quite awkward and ufortable.”
Bailey reached out and gently pried open her fingers, saying slowly, “Your brother is familiar with him,
so let him take him there. Shannon, I came to Tarragon to meet Artemis. Now that he''s within reach,
there''s no way I''ll leave.”
Shannon pursed her lips and looked at her with a stubborn look on her face.
“Bailey...” Zeke wasn''t foolish. At first, he might not have noticed anything unusual about them, but after
all themotion, he realized that something was off.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
There must be a reason why the Lewitt siblings are both trying to stop Bailey from meeting Artemis.
Could it be that Artemis is doing something he shouldn''t be seen doing?
“Bay, why don''t you apany me to my lodging first? I''ve been looking after you for a while now and
I''m quite exhausted. I''d like to rest for a bit. Can you take me to my ce and make sure I''m settled in
before youe back? Is that alright?”
Bailey tilted her head and looked at Zeke. Suddenly, she flipped over her palm to reveal several silver
needles between her fingers.
She pressed the needle tips firmly against her own neck and said slowly, “Zeke, don''t force me, or I''ll
die right in front of you.”
Zeke hastily took two steps back.
He had seen how strong-minded Bailey was before, so he knew that when she said she would die in
front of him, she would definitely put it into action.
“Fine. You may go.” Bailey quickly turned around and ran towards the spiral staircase.
Zeke turned to look at Holden and asked in a deep voice, “What is Artemis doing up there? Could it be
that our sudden visit has disrupted his ns?”
Holden nodded and said, “He''s had too much to drink and probably mistook a maid for Bailey. The two
of them are... I just got the news and was about to go up and stop them, but I didn''t expect you all to
actually be here.”
Zeke''s pupils constricted slightly.
Without bothering to chat with Holden, he strode towards the staircase. Bailey went up to the second
floor. Along the way, housekeepers tried to stop her, but they were all taken down by her with silver
needles.
The master bedroom was right ahead, and from within, ambiguous sounds could be heard. She
suddenly halted in her tracks, and her body shuddered violently.
Her legs felt weak and powerless, nearly causing her to copse to the ground. She managed to
steady herself by leaning against the wall.
Artemis... Artemis... How could you?
Listening to those strange sounds, Bailey felt her heart aching. Her guess, after all, came true.
Oh heavens, why do you treat us this way? We''ve already endured so much suffering, but why won''t
you let us go?
“Bay...” Zeke''s voice came from behind her.
“There must be some misunderstanding here. Artemis is not a yer. You should find out the truth
before making a judgment, so as not to wrong him.”
Tears rolled down Bailey''s cheeks.
Zeke, you''re mistaken. There''s no misunderstanding here; the facts are right in front of us.
Seeing that she didn''t speak, Zeke tentatively suggested, “How about I go in and take a look, while you
wait outside?”
Bailey suddenly broke free from his grip, and said, gritting her teeth, “I''ll go in by myself.”
After saying that, she staggered towards the door. The door was kicked open, startling the people
inside. Artemis, with his shirt slightly open, leaned back on the couch. In his arms, there was a young
girl with disheveled clothes, her facial features somewhat resembling Bailey''s. Bailey let out a cold
laugh.
He has indeed yed his part quite well in this show.
ncing around the room, Bailey finally fixed her gaze on the coffee table, where a ss of red wine
was ced. Without a word, she rushed forward, grabbed the cup, and sshed its contents onto
Artemis''s handsome face.
“Are you awake now?” Artemis furrowed his brows and gave her a cold nce, saying with a crack in
his voice,
“You''re still as domineering as ever. Despite being trained for so long, you still haven''t learned how to
rely on a man. Since you''ve caught me, I have nothing to say. Bailey, don''t you think you''re too
headstrong? A woman as domineering and overbearing as you really doesn''t appeal to men. After one
nce at you, they don''t want to take a second look.”
From the moment Zeke entered the bedroom, he had been holding back his anger. Now, hearing him
belittle his sister like this, hepletely exploded with rage. Raising his fist, he prepared to punch him.
Upon seeing the situation, Bailey reached out and grabbed him.
“Zeke, let me handle my own problems.”
Speechless, Zeke clenched his teeth tightly and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.
Bailey pointed at the woman in Artemis'' arms, and asked, her eyes filled with tears, “Do you really have
to insult me by choosing someone who looks so simr to me? If you want to find a woman, can you at
least not pick someone who resembles me?”
Artemis raised his eyebrows slightly, still looking drunk. His thin lips curved up, revealing a smile that
exuded roguish charm. He reached out and gently patted the woman''s face in his arms, his expression
a mix of amusement and seriousness.
“I haven''t grown tired of your face, but I really don''t like your personality. So, I can only find someone
who looks like you but has a gentler temperament to rece you.”
At this point, he suddenly changed the tone of his voice and said coldly, “By now, you must be
disappointed and hopeless about me, and I don''t have any good exnations either, because I''ve
already cheated on you. Let''s just end our rtionship here. Holden, escort them out of Tarragon. The
organization has decreed that outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. Your sister has
vited the rules, so you should go to Prudent Hall on her behalf to ept the punishment.”
With a wistful smile on her face, Bailey slowly raised the silver needle in her hand and ced it over
her own eye.
“Since my eye has already been tainted, I shall leave this eyeball here today.”
Artemis'' pupils shrank slightly, and his fingers that were embracing the young girl trembled a little, as a
hint of hesitation shed through the depths of his eyes.
Should I intervene? If I do, this whole show will be meaningless.
