Chapter 806
Artemis shrugged.
“I couldn''t persuade her. If you can, go ahead and try. Whenever I raise my voice just a little, she
uses me of bullying her. I can''t bear such a big usation. I haven''t even married her yet, so I dare
not offend her. Once she starts crying, I''m at a loss,”mented Artemis.
Zeke could not help butugh. Turning his head to look at Bailey, he tried to persuade, “Why don''t we
wait for Cameron toe back and discuss it? He''s right. You can''t outy Kurt when ites to
dealing with poison. After all, he has spent so many years learning from the Yablon family.”
Bailey''s gaze swept across the faces of the two, and she said lightly, “Why do you think Cameron left at
this critical moment? Don''t you have any idea? I guessed either Sofie or Mr. Philip deliberately created
conflicts within the Yablon family to lure Cameron back. Now that Cameron is gone, Kurt immediately
challenges me. As I said earlier, if I don''t ept the challenge, I''ll be ending Julie''s life because they''re
holding her life hostage, forcing me to make a deal. If I don''t go, she''ll be useless to them.”
Zeke and Artemis exchanged nces, seeing the helplessness in each other''s eyes.
Fine, Bailey''s analysis is spot on.
Precisely because it was right, it made them feeling helpless. It seemed that attending the appointment
was absolutely necessary.
“Fine. When we first came to Moranta, we had the idea of facing a deadly situation. If we back down
now, what is the point ofing here in the first ce? Zeke, I''ll apany Bailey to the appointment.
You don''t need toe. If we find ourselves in danger, you can figure out a way to get us out,”This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
suggested Artemis.
Zeke frowned slightly.
After a moment of silence, he objected, “You''ve just barely returned from the jaws of death, and I''m not
willing to let you take this risk. We definitely need to save Juliana, but risking both of your lives to save
hers doesn''t seem worth it, so let''s not rush. Let''s think if there are any other ways.”
Just as Bailey was about to retort, Artemis reached out to stop her and took the initiative to say, “Okay,
we agree with you, Zeke. The other party has agreed to meet in two days, so we can still use this
period to think of other solutions.”
Zeke stood up from the sofa and mentioned he had urgent matters to deal with before walking out of
the study. Bailey tilted her head and looked at Artemis as her gaze was cold and piercing.
Artemis could not help but let out a bitter smile.
“If we truly can''t think of any other way, we''ll go to the appointment. Bailey, I truly cherish this hard-won
new life. Even if there''s only one in ten million possibilities, I''ll firmly grasp it and never gamble with my
life. You can call me cowardly, but I''m afraid of death.”
Bailey suddenlyughed and reached out to pinch his handsome face.
She raised an eyebrow while saying, “It''s good to be afraid of death. That way, you won''t act recklessly
to protect us.” Speaking of that, she suddenly changed the topic.
Bailey seriously said, “Going to the appointment doesn''t mean we have no way out because... Tucker
has taken a liking to me.”
Artemis'' expression stiffened. His eyes narrowed slightly as a dangerous glint emerged between his
brows.
“You''ve attracted another man again? Bailey, you''re really capable. You were out for less than an hour
and brought back another love rival for me. Do you think I have nothing better to do?”
Bailey red at him and grumbled, “That was years ago. I didn''t know I''d run into you back then.
Besides, it''s not like I can control it. What''s the point of ming me? I feel disgusted when someone
like that is interested in me.”
Artemis snorted a few times and asked, “What does Tucker''s interest in you have to do with Kurt not
killing you?” Bailey''s lips curved into a smile as a hint of glimmer shed across her eyes.
She remarked, “Kurt is being hunted down by the Yablon family and desperately needs someone to
save his life. The Hoffman family is capable of protecting him. That''s why he devotes himself to serving
Mr. Philip and Sofie. Tucker wants me to satisfy his twisted desires, so he''ll definitely make a deal with
Kurt, allowing him to do something in secret. That''s why I guess I won''t die.”
Artemis looked at her coldly, gritting his teeth, and said,
“What''s next? Do you want to exchange yourself for the enhancer? You said that Tucker wants you to
satisfy his twisted desires. Do you know what is the consequence if you fall into his hands?”
Bailey reached out and patted his chest, helping him calm down. With a pleasing smile, she said,
“Don''t be angry, don''t get mad first. I know hypnosis. Even if I fall into Tucker''s hands, I can still handle
it. I bet Tucker''ll tell Sofie and Mr. Philip that I''m already dead and secretly hide me away. Think about
it. Once Sofie finds out about my death, she''ll definitelyunch an attack on the Tarragon
Headquarters. When she makes a move, she''ll surely mobilize all her forces. As soon as she acts, you
can capture them all at once and eliminate this threat forever.”
Artemis fell into silence. He had to admit that her method was the best and most practical. However,
the thought of Bailey being in grave danger was something he could not ept.
Artemis had to hand Bailey over to the man who coveted her. It was undoubtedly pushing her into a pit
of fire. Artemis could not possibly do such a foolish thing.
Noticing that he did not respond, Bailey continued, “Don''t worry, you still have two days. Just give it
some more thought. If you don''t want to use this method, we can only fight Kurt to the death. In the
end, it might cost both of our lives.”
A hint of frustration shed across Artemis''s eyes, and he sighed lightly, “You really have me tightly
wrapped around your finger. Let''s discuss this with Zeke first. If he agrees, we''ll do as you said. I admit
that your method is quite effective, but it''s a gamble with your life. Zeke might not necessarily agree.”
Bailey grinned and said, “I''ll talk to him. He''ll agree.” Artemis was speechless. In the suburb, there was
a medical base owned by the Hoffman family.
Inside theboratory, Astridy on the hospital bed. Her entire face was wrapped in thick bandages,
exposing only a pair of hollow eyes.
Beside the bed, several doctors in whiteb coats were studying the images scanned by the
equipment. At that moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open. Tucker walked in from
outside.
“How did it go. Was the surgery sessful?” asked Tucker.
The attending doctor hurriedly answered, “Mr. Tucker, the surgery is very sessful. The patient is
highly simr to the reference. If we don''t bring the reference forparison, it will be almost
impossible to tell the difference.”
Tucker smiled contentedly. After signaling the doctors to leave, he said lightly, “Don''t me me for this.
You''re the one who messes things up, so you have to take full responsibility. At first, I wanted to find a
random woman and have her undergo stic surgery to resemble Caridee to deal with Shaun.
However, a random woman didn''t understand Caridee''s personality, making it easy for her to be
exposed. You''re different. You''ve been roommates with Caridee for two years and know her
temperament and personality better than anyone else. The key is that your voices are very simr. You
can create a convincing impersonation. You''d better cooperate and don''t mess things up. Otherwise,
dozens of people in your family will have to meet Grim Reaper.”
