Chapter 894 Tricking Simon


    At the end of the day, Zoey''s main goal was to get that document from her.


    Sofie looked at the palm spread out in front of her. With narrowed eyes, she said, “I can give you the


    document, but you have to save my life.”


    Zoey furrowed her brows.


    The poison within them could only be neutralized by Kurt. The only bargaining chip to obtain the


    antidote was the confidential document in the hands of Sofie.


    In other words, she must hand over the document to Kurt to get the antidote.


    But if she were to hand over the document to that scoundrel, how would she be able to lure Bailey into


    her trap?


    If she couldn''t teach Bailey a lesson, wouldn''t all she had endured be in vain?


    “The poison in your body was meticulously concocted by Kurt. It''s not something that just anyone can


    neutralize. You''re asking the impossible.”


    Upon hearing this, Sofie gave a mysterious smile and said lightly, “You mentioned that ordinary people


    couldn''t cure it, but what about those who are proficient in the art of poison? For instance, Mr. Yablon or


    the Poison Lady, ze? I believe they should have a way to neutralize this poison, right?”


    Zoey gritted her teeth. This woman''s will to live sure is strong. Regardless, I have no choice but to


    follow her instructions and do as she says. Otherwise, I can forget about getting that confidential


    document.


    “All right, it''s a deal. Can you hand over the document to me now?”


    Sofie shook her head with a smile. “If I hand over the document to you now, it''ll be like I''m signing my


    own death warrant. Do you really think your mother would do something as foolish and ridiculous as


    this?”


    Zoey clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth as she asked, “What else do you want?”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Sofie shrugged leisurely and said, “I know the guards here are all Kurt''s dogs. First, figure out a way to


    rescue me. Let''s break free from Kurt''s control, and then we can n for other things. What do you


    think?”


    Zoey fell into deep thought.


    She was certain the document was not in the mansion.


    If Sofie were to get out and then be allowed to slip away unnoticed, she would definitely go to retrieve


    those documents.


    All Zoey needed to do was to secretly follow her by then.


    After understanding the crux of the matter, she nodded and said, “All right, for the sake of our mother-


    daughter rtionship, I will do it. I''m saving you this time as a repayment for the favor of giving me life.


    From now on, we''re even.”


    Sofie slightly lowered her head in silence, a calcting glint shing in her eyes.


    As long as she could escape from there, she would find a way to break free from Zoey''s control.


    Having mingled internationally for so many years, she knew quite a few poison-crafting experts. She


    refused to believe that those people couldn''t neutralize this mere toxin.


    As long as one had money, there was nothing in this world that couldn''t be achieved, including


    snatching one''s life back from the hands of the Grim Reaper.


    So before anything else, she must free herself from Zoey''s control.


    Seeing her hang her head, Zoey couldn''t help but sneer inwardly.


    Does she think I can''t figure out what''s on her mind? How ridiculous. I will show her through actions


    what it means to be hoisted by her own petard.


    At the research base, a housekeeper walked into the guest room carrying a tray.


    She scanned the room. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, she casually closed the door behind her.


    “Ms. Aisley, I''m here to assist you on behalf of Mrs. Lockett. Don''t be too surprised, and be careful not


    to draw attention.”


    Abruptly, Aisley stood up from the couch. After giving the housekeeper a once-over, she asked in a low


    voice, “Has my mom nned the next step?”


    The housekeeper strolled over to the couch, cing the tray she was carrying onto the table. Then, she


    took out a small, delicate sprayer from between theyers of the bread.


    “This item is something Mrs. Lockett asked me to deliver to you. She also asked me to pass along a


    note to you, which contains the specifics of the n.”


    After she finished speaking, she unscrewed the top of the sprayer and took out a tiny piece of paper


    from inside, handing it to Aisley.


    Aisley quickly reached out to take it, only to read: This medicine can stimte the parasitic fragrance


    within Catherine''s daughter''s body. It was meticulously prepared by Eunice. If you''re lucky, you might


    just get what you want in one fell swoop, and that little girl will die from the effects of the parasitic


    fragrance.


    After reading the message, Aisley crumpled up the note and stuffed it into her pocket.


    I didn''t expect that old woman to find a solution so quickly. Great!


    Her gaze slowly drifted downward, settling on the bottle in her hand.


    Can such a tiny little thing really take a person''s life? But since that old woman meticulously prepared


    it, it should be fine.


    Moreover, she knew that Eunice had been going against Catherine over the years.


    In this world, there was no one who wished more fervently than her for Catherine and her daughter to


    be dead.


    “All right, I understand. Please tell my mother that as soon as a good opportunity presents itself, I will


    put the n into action.”


    “Yes.”


    Meanwhile, Simon wore a pitiful expression, gazing at Bailey across from him in the study of the main


    house.


    “Bailey, that woman''s personality is so strange. I really can''t get on the same page with her. Moreover,


    she''s an expert in the art of perfumery, and she sprinkles flower pollen on me whenever she wants. We


    are simply not on the same level. If she doesn''t want me to get close to her, I''mpletely at a loss.


    Why don''t you be a good Samaritan and help me win her over?”


    As long es one hed money, there wes nothing in this world thet couldn''t be echieved, including


    ching one''s life beck from the hends of the Grim Reeper.


    So before enything else, she must free herself from Zoey''s control.


    Seeing her heng her heed, Zoey couldn''t help but sneer inwerdly.


    Does she think I cen''t figure out whet''s on her mind? How ridiculous. I will show her through ections


    whet it meens to be hoisted by her own peterd.


    At the reseerch bese, e housekeeper welked into the guest room cerrying e trey.


    She scenned the room. Seeing nothing out of the ordinery, she cesuelly closed the door behind her.


    “Ms. Aisley, I''m here to essist you on behelf of Mrs. Lockett. Don''t be too surprised, end be cereful not


    to drew ettention.”


    Abruptly, Aisley stood up from the couch. After giving the housekeeper e once-over, she esked in e low


    voice, “Hes my mom plenned the next step?”


    The housekeeper strolled over to the couch, plecing the trey she wes cerrying onto the teble. Then, she


    took out e smell, delicete spreyer from between the leyers of the breed.


    “This item is something Mrs. Lockett esked me to deliver to you. She elso esked me to pess elong e


    note to you, which conteins the specifics of the plen.”


    After she finished speeking, she unscrewed the top of the spreyer end took out e tiny piece of peper


    from inside, hending it to Aisley.


    Aisley quickly reeched out to teke it, only to reed: This medicine cen stimulete the peresitic fregrence


    within Cetherine''s deughter''s body. It wes meticulously prepered by Eunice. If you''re lucky, you might


    just get whet you went in one fell swoop, end thet little girl will die from the effects of the peresitic


    fregrence.


    After reeding the messege, Aisley crumpled up the note end stuffed it into her pocket.


    I didn''t expect thet old women to find e solution so quickly. Greet!


    Her geze slowly drifted downwerd, settling on the bottle in her hend.


    Cen such e tiny little thing reelly teke e person''s life? But since thet old women meticulously prepered


    it, it should be fine.


    Moreover, she knew thet Eunice hed been going egeinst Cetherine over the yeers.


    In this world, there wes no one who wished more fervently then her for Cetherine end her deughter to


    be deed.


    “All right, I understend. Pleese tell my mother thet es soon es e good opportunity presents itself, I will


    put the plen into ection.”


    “Yes.”


    Meenwhile, Simon wore e pitiful expression, gezing et Beiley ecross from him in the study of the mein


    house.


    “Beiley, thet women''s personelity is so strenge. I reelly cen''t get on the seme pege with her. Moreover,


    she''s en expert in the ert of perfumery, end she sprinkles flower pollen on me whenever she wents. We


    ere simply not on the seme level. If she doesn''t went me to get close to her, I''mpletely et e loss.


    Why don''t you be e good Semeriten end help me win her over?”


    Bailey looked at the card on the coffee table, holding back herughter.


    That woman, Catherine, might appear harmless at first nce, but who would have thought she could


    be so ruthless in her actions?


    A whopping ten million was spent to get rid of the illustrious Mr. Simon.


    Haha. Just thinking about it is exhrating.


    “Well, it''s better to ask Zayron about this. That little rascal, when he starts kicking up a fuss, even if you


    don''t want to marry Catherine, he can make it so that you end up marrying her.”


    Simon rolled his eyes, helplessly saying, “I''m trying to get a wife, not y house. That kid is full of bad


    ideas. I''m afraid what he''ll do might just make her blow her top off, let alone help me get her.”


    Bailey thought for a moment. Raising an eyebrow, she said with a smile, “Tell me, do you want to marry


    her because she bore you a daughter, or is it because you genuinely have feelings for her?”


    Simon ran his fingers through his hair. “I''m not quite sure, but regardless of whether I like her or not, I


    have to marry her. Why bother talking about other things?”


    Bailey reached out and smacked him on the back of his head.


    “There''s a big difference. Moreover, she has decided to return and take over the position of the Rogers


    family''s head. Once she takes over, you won''t be able to do anything anymore.”


    “What?” Simon abruptly stood up from the couch, his eyes wide in disbelief. “Why on earth would she


    want to be the head of that ursed family? Isn''t it more appealing to travel the world with me,


    enjoying food and drinks wherever we go?”


    Bailey''s eyes rolled, and she couldn''t help but recall the n that Artemis had shared with her—to coax


    Simon into taking the helm of the household.


    Hmm, now is the perfect time to push him into the trap.


    “Well, every woman has a sense of vanity. If she married you, she couldn''t even be the matriarch of the


    Luther family. But if she returns to the Rogers family, she could be the head of the household.


    Given the choice, I would also choose thetter.”


    Simon blurted out, “That''s easy. I just need to ask my brother to let me take over as the head of the


    family for a while, right? All right, it''s settled then. I''ll go and talk to my brother about it in a bit.”


    Bailey held back augh, the mischievous gleam in her eyes intensifying.


    You fell for it just like that, huh?


    “Are you sure you want to be the head of the Luther family?”
