Chapter 805


    Veikko paused in his footsteps and turned to look at her.


    “Do you have something else to say?” he asked.


    Bailey furrowed her brows and asked, “You''vepletely fallen out with Shaun. How do you n to


    deal with him?”


    Veikko smiled coldly and said lightly, “The current him is like a madman. Let him go crazy, let him bite


    his friends and family around him. It''s easy to die. We can gather a group of people and storm his


    ce, ending him. But I don''t want to do it that way. I want to let him live a life worse than death.”


    Bailey nodded.


    “That works too. Let''s put aside that jerk now and focus on dealing with Sofie and Mr. Philip. You


    should go back and reorganize the forces of the Saviors. Lock up Mindy in the Prudent Hall and see his


    reaction. If he doesn''t give up easily, create some evidence of his misconduct, remove him from his


    position, and let you temporarily take the position of Mr. Xydias. We''re all in Moranta now, and I can''t


    trust others with matters of life and death. It''s better to have someone from within our ranks in control.”


    Veikko nodded.


    “I understand. Be careful, and I''ll head back first. Contact me directly if you need anything.”


    “Okay.” After watching Veikko leave, Bailey turned back to look at Caridee on the bed and sighed


    silently.


    She was such a good girl, and now she had been reduced to this state. It was truly heartbreaking.


    Suburban mansion. Inside the infirmary. Shaun leaned against the bedside and swiped everything off


    the nightstand.


    “That useless Tucker couldn''t even capture a woman. What use is he to me?”


    The bodyguards kept their distance, allowing him to vent his anger.


    At this critical moment, anyone who approached him was asking for death.


    “Mr. Carter, Ms. Lindsey has arrived.”


    “I don''t want to see her. Tell her-” Before he could finish his sentence, he immediately held back his


    words.


    Lindsey?


    He remembered Lindsey had a crush on Edmund, so she had gotten close to Bailey. Now that Caridee


    was by Bailey''s side, perhaps he could use her to infiltrate Bailey''s residence and lure Caridee out.


    “Let her in.”


    After a moment, Lindsey rushed in from outside.


    “Shaun, are you okay? They said you-”


    Shaun coldly stared at her.


    “They said what about me?” Lindsey became fearful of her elder brother and quickly shook her head.


    “Nothing, nothing. Now that I see you''re fine, I feel relieved.”


    Shaun asked in a cold and eerie tone, “Weren''t you chasing after a man in Hallsbay? Why did you


    come to Moranta?”


    At the mention of this, Lindsey''s expression gradually darkened.


    “He doesn''t like me.”


    Shaun gave a disdainful snort and spoke in a menacing tone, “That''s because the person he longs for


    is still alive. If that woman in his heart were to die, I assure you he would gradually ept you.”


    A glimmer of hope shed in Lindsey''s eyes.


    That''s right, once that woman is no longer around, he will eventually move on and consider epting


    me. But he loves Bailey. If Bailey were so easily disposed of, she would have perished countless times


    already, considering the number of people who have targeted her.

    “Shaun, I can''tpete with Bailey.”


    “Have you even tried? You won''t know if you can''t surpass her until you make an effort. Now that


    Artemis is gone and has lost her will to live, you can be by her side, waiting for the right moment to


    strike a fatal blow. Once she''s no more...”


    Lindsey remained silent.


    “That''s all I have to say. Whether you want to fight for it or not is up to you. If Edmund still has feelings


    for you, it will be easier for me to propose a marriage alliance on behalf of the Carter family. But if he


    doesn''t have you in his heart, no matter what I say, it will be in vain. The only way to make him open his


    heart to you is by eliminating Bailey from his life.”


    Lindsey lowered her head, her voice trembling as she replied, “I... I''ll consider it and give my answer to


    you in a few days.”


    Shaunzily leaned against the bedside, instructing the guard at the door, “Ms. Lindsey has been on a


    long flight. She must be tired. Take her to rest.”


    “Yes.”


    Once the guard escorted Lindsey away, Shaun turned to the person dressed in ck beside him.


    Hemanded, “Arrange a few housekeeper to provoke her in Bailey''s presence, fueling her


    discontent and turning it into hatred. Push her to be enemies with Bailey.”


    “Understood.”


    At the Saviors branch. Inside the study. Veikko lounged on the sofa, raising an eyebrow as he observed


    Travis standing in the center of the room.


    He smirked and spoke calmly, “Mr. Xydias, did youe here to look for someone?”


    “No, no, no,” Mr. Xydias quickly denied.


    “Mindy acted recklessly and conspired with outsiders, almost causing a major disaster. Your decision to


    spare her life was already a great mercy. I would never question your judgment. Allowing her to visit the


    Prudent Hall will serve as a lesson. I believe Mr. Veikko will show mercy to a subordinate like me, and


    won''t take the life of my only daughter. I will faithfully serve you in the future to repay your kindness.”


    Shaun couldn''t help but inwardly sneer.


    This cunning fox knew how to tter. It wouldn''t be righteous to kill his daughter.


    “Very well. Mindy has been trained since childhood and should be able to avoid severe punishment. I


    won''t subject her to additional torment.”


    Travis wiped the sweat from his forehead and hastily replied, “Thank you for your mercy, Mr. Veikko.


    Rest assured, such incidents will never happen again in the future.”


    Veikko lightly tapped the sofa''s armrest and dered, “Starting today, I will temporarily oversee all


    branch matters.” Travis widened his eyes, looking at Veikko with astonishment.


    “Mr. Veikko, this...”


    “Mr. Xydias, no need to worry. It''s only temporary. Once my affairs are resolved, I will return the branch


    to your management. There''s no need to be so anxious.”


    Upon hearing this, Travis breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, “Yes, yes, understood. I will follow


    Mr. Veikko''s arrangements.”


    Bailey received an anonymous message inviting her to meet outside the city. The message stated that


    they had prepared something she desired. Although the message didn''t bear a signature, Bailey was


    certain it came from Kurt.


    Has he lost hisposure so quickly?


    She thought she would at least have to wait a few days, but she didn''t expect to be contacted so soon.


    Inside the study.


    Bailey spread the message on the table and stated firmly, “I must attend this appointment. They''ve set


    a trap for me, forcing me to jump into it. If I don''t jump, Juliana will be of no value to them. A chess


    piece with no value can be discarded at any time. In other words, if I don''t go to the appointment,


    Juliana will undoubtedly die because Kurt won''t keep her hanging by the thread of drugs anymore.”


    Zeke and Artemis exchanged a nce.


    “What do you think?”


    Zeke asked. Artemis rubbed his forehead and sighed, “Since she has decided to go, what else can we


    do? We''ll apany her through the trials and tribtions. Should we let her face it alone?”


    Zeke frowned, “But Cameron is not here. There was an issue in his family, so he left early. Before


    leaving, he repeatedly entrusted me to stop Bay from meeting Kurt because she can''t outy him in


    the game of poisons.”
