Chapter 362
Bailey could not help but sneer.
What did he just say? It''s shameless of him to ask me to hand Shannon over. I would''ve killed him if it
were not for Artemis. Did he even flinch one bit when he asked those people to cut off Shannon''s arm?
Did his conscience ever condemn him when he staged that ident that killed Eugene? He never once
cherished the woman who offered him her heart.
“You said you wanted Shannon. Sure. Over my dead body,” Bailey challenged.
To her, there was no point in keeping up the act anymore since the secret was already out.
Micah red at Bailey as he enunciated, “Do you think I won''t kill you? I canpromise on anything
for you, but not Shannon. You have to hand her over today.”
“Haha!” Baileyughed out loud, but gradually, tears started rolling down her cheeks.
She was crying for Shannon.
Shannon had always been an endearing person to Bailey. Not a single soul would remain unmoved by
her story and how she survived all her hardships.
“Micah Neyman, you have no right to ask for her. I''ll let everyone and anyone see her except for you. If
you have a problem with that, fight me.”
“Do you think I won''t do it?”
Micah nced at Bailey coldly as he waved his arm, silently signaling his men to make a move.
At hismand, groups of men in ck emerged from the trailer behind him.
That was just as expected from Tarragon''s leader. Micah could easily mobilize hundreds and
thousands of bodyguards with just a simple order, and Bailey was no match for him, but that did not
mean she would back down.
She had made up her mind that she would not hand Shannon over to Micah, even if bloodshed was
about to ur.
“It seems like you''re bent on destroying me, Mr. Neyman. I might not survive today, but I''ll never betray
a friend.”
Subsequently, Bailey took a gun from her subordinate and aimed it in Micah''s direction. “Who''s getting
the first shot?”
She barely finished her sentence when a screeching sound of brakes pierced through the air from afar.
Then, an off-road vehicle sped over and stopped between the opposing groups.
The door to the driver''s seat opened, and Bailey frowned at the familiar figure that alighted from the
vehicle.
It was Artemis.
Why is he here? Didn''t I tell him to stay away from Springwyn?
“Why are you here?” she questioned.
Artemis ignored her, strode over, and snatched the gun from Bailey before pinching her cheek hard.
“Ouch...” Bailey whined, ring at him. There was affection and reproach in her tone.
Before she could do anything, her forehead hit Artemis'' chest.
Seriously? Why is he so violent? Can''t he be a little gentler?
“You''re hurting me.”
“Serves you right.” Artemis darted a reproving nce at her and leaned over to whisper into her ear, “I''ll
teach you a good lesson after we get back. I''ll make sure you can''t walk for the entire week.”
This scoundrel! Can he not talk about sex all the time?
Pulling Bailey into his embrace, Artemis raised a brow at his friend, wearing a half-smile on his face. “I

can''t believe you messed with my woman while I was away, Micah. Do you have a death wish?”
There was no way Artemis and Micah could remain friends at this rate.
Micah squinted his eyes and reiterated, “I want Shannon. Give her to me, or no one is leaving alive
today.”
Artemis'' brows arched at the threat before he lowered his head to look at Bailey. “Is Shannon with
you?”
Bailey blinked at him and squeezed out some tears from her eyes. “Shannon? I don''t even know who
she is, Artemis. Please do something about your friend. He bullied me when you weren''t around.”
Both Micah and Artemis'' faces twitched.
She borely finished her sentence when o screeching sound of brokes pierced through the oir from ofor.
Then, on off-rood vehicle sped over ond stopped between the opposing groups.
The door to the driver''s seot opened, ond Boiley frowned ot the fomilior figure thot olighted from the
vehicle.
It wos Artemis.
Why is he here? Didn''t I tell him to stoy owoy from Springwyn?
“Why ore you here?” she questioned.
Artemis ignored her, strode over, ond snotched the gun from Boiley before pinching her cheek hord.
“Ouch...” Boiley whined, gloring ot him. There wos offection ond reprooch in her tone.
Before she could do onything, her foreheod hit Artemis'' chest.
Seriously? Why is he so violent? Con''t he be o little gentler?
“You''re hurting me.”
“Serves you right.” Artemis dorted o reproving glonce ot her ond leoned over to whisper into her eor, “I''ll
teoch you o good lesson ofter we get bock. I''ll moke sure you con''t wolk for the entire week.”
This scoundrel! Con he not tolk obout sex oll the time?
Pulling Boiley into his embroce, Artemis roised o brow ot his friend, weoring o holf-smile on his foce. “I
con''t believe you messed with my womon while I wos owoy, Micoh. Do you hove o deoth wish?”
There wos no woy Artemis ond Micoh could remoin friends ot this rote.
Micoh squinted his eyes ond reiteroted, “I wont Shonnon. Give her to me, or no one is leoving olive
todoy.”
Artemis'' brows orched ot the threot before he lowered his heod to look ot Boiley. “Is Shonnon with
you?”
Boiley blinked ot him ond squeezed out some teors from her eyes. “Shonnon? I don''t even know who
she is, Artemis. Pleose do something obout your friend. He bullied me when you weren''t oround.”
Both Micoh ond Artemis'' foces twitched.
They had never met a woman who could put up such a good act. Her skills of ying dumb were out of
this world.
“Did you hear that? She said she doesn''t know Shannon, so stop pressuring her.”
Micah pursed his lips in resignation.
I can''t believe I actually have a sworn brother like him. I must be blind.
Just as Micah was about to utter something, Artemis shot him a meaningful nce, and Micah
understood immediately.
After what the two brothers went through together, there was no way Micah did not know what his
buddy was implying.
Though disgruntled, Micah still gestured at his men to make way for Artemis and Bailey.
Since Bailey refused to budge no matter what and was adamant about keeping Shannon, there was no
use for Micah to continue forcing her.
Instead, it would be better for him to have her tailed to find out where Shannon was.
I''ve got time, anyway. I''ll definitely find Shannon one day.
After that, when Artemis dragged Bailey to the car, thetter asked out of curiosity, “What did you tell
him just now?”
“I urged him to let us go because I need to bring you home to make babies.”
Bailey elbowed him in the stomach, eliciting a mellow groan of pain from the man.
“Enough with your lewd jokes. Tease me again, and I''ll sever your manhood.”
After escaping from Micah, Bailey boarded the ne with Artemis, and they headed for Hallsbay.
Although Micah already knew their whereabouts, Bailey figured the best ce to go would still be
Hallsbay.
Otherwise, if she were to send Shannon somewhere else, Micah would still easily find Shannon.
Hence, the best option would be Hallsbay.
Artemis tried to ask Bailey about Shannon on the ne, but the woman shot him a death re, causing
him to zip his lip.
