Chapter 431


    She was too careless.


    Verily, she didn''t expect the frail woman to do something as crazy as that.

    Shannon, you didn''t treat me as your friend. If you regarded me as someone close to you, you would''ve


    given me a call and asked for my help to kill Yvette. I can definitely do it better than you. Now, look at


    what you have done. Not only did it not work out, but you''re also caught for doing that.


    “I got it. Don''t act recklessly. Let me have a look at the situation first.”


    With that, she ended the call.


    “Artemis, what is the offense for assassinating Her Royal Highness of Tarragon? What punishment is


    there going to be?”


    Frowning, Artemis hesitated for a while before saying tentatively, “Assassinating Her Royal Highness is


    equivalent to assassinating their leader. You should know that Yvette''s father was once a powerful


    person. He had a strongwork of interpersonal rtionships. After his death, those people voluntarily


    stayed by Yvette''s side to protect her. Shannon is going to suffer the consequences for assassinating


    her.”


    Bailey hissed through gritted teeth, “I''m asking about the punishment. Don''t tell me about all these


    useless things.”


    Artemis let out a sigh. “If she admits that she assassinated Her Royal Highness, then that''s the most


    serious crime for Tarragon. She''s going to receive the cruelest retribution until she dies.”


    Bailey''s legs turned to jelly and she staggered, almost falling to the ground.


    Artemis immediately stretched out his arm to support her. “Don''t panic. Let''s understand the situation


    first. Moreover, Micah and Holden are there. They can''t possibly just sit back and do nothing. At


    present, they have the say in Tarragon. Though it''s going to be hard to protect Shannon, they can


    definitely think of a way. Give them some time.”


    Bailey grabbed his arm and choked back on tears as she said, “Shannon is too pitiful. She killed Yvette


    because she felt that Yvette was the mastermind behind that car ident years ago. She wanted to


    seek revenge for Eugene. Artemis, I have never begged you before, but this time I''m begging you to


    save her. You''re the only one who can do so. I don''t want to ce my hope on Micah. He clearly knows


    that it''s possible that his son died because of Yvette, but he still insists on finding evidence to support


    that point. That means I can''t count on him to rescue Shannon.”


    Artemis let out a soft sigh as he wrapped his arms around her. “You know that I can save her, so why


    are you still afraid? Just rx. Don''t worry, and be patient. Stay positive at all times.”


    He was worried that her restlessness was going to trigger her prenatal depression. It was a terrifying


    mental disease that could make her lose herself.


    Meanwhile, in the study of Tarragon''s branch, Micah was discussing with Daniel the ways to cover up


    the recent assassination case.


    All of a sudden, someone kicked open the door. Holden then barged in furiously.


    He went straight to Micah and grabbed his cor. “Micah, are you even a man? How could you not


    protect Shannon in that situation?” he shouted.


    Micah''s expression darkened, and his facial muscles tensed up, rendering his mien intimidating.


    “She is seeking death. What else could I do? Cut the crap! Go ahead and shoot me in the head if you


    can''t stand me.”


    “Do you think I don''t have the guts to do that?”


    Holden had gone to Mount Willow Cemetery earlier to visit his nephew. Staring at his nephew''s


    wordless headstone, he was already sullen enough. To make matters worse, he returned to the city


    and heard that something had happened to his sister. At that moment, he couldn''t stop his fury from


    oveing him.


    Moreover, Micah''s indecent attitude only served to add fuel to the fire. Holden had the strong urge to


    shoot him right there and then.


    He then put his thought into action and produced a gun from his pocket before pointing it at Micah''s


    head.


    “You think I don''t dare to kill you? Micah, the afterlife is lonely. Go and keep my sisterpany!”


    A relieved smile appeared on Micah''s charming face. “Go ahead. I''m not going to fight back, I promise.”

    “F*ck!” Holden cursed, hurling the man back onto the couch. “Killing a coward like you dirties my hand.


    You''re better off living the rest of your life in solitary!”


    After saying that, he pointed his gun in Daniel''s direction and uttered, “Release my sister right now.”


    Frightened, Daniel''s legs gave out and he knelt on the floor in an instant.


    “M-Mr. Holden, those in the headquarters are aware that Ms. Shannon has assassinated Her Royal


    Highness. The elders flew into a rage and asked me to deal with her. Your order is not going to have


    any effect.”


    Click!


    Holden cocked his gun, making himself clear.


    Daniel trembled in fear and quickly changed his tune. “How about you talk to the leader? Right now,


    he''s the only one who can protect Ms. Shannon and silence the group of elders.”


    The veins on Holden''s forehead were bulging. Initially, he wanted to pull the trigger and send Daniel to


    his doom, but something popped into his mind all of a sudden, causing him to pause in his tracks.


    “Bring me to Shannon.”


    Daniel didn''t dare to defy Holden. Getting back to his feet hastily, he replied in terror, “O-Okay... T-This


    way...”


    Looking over at Micah, Holden said coldly and emotionlessly, “From now onward, you have nothing to


    do with my sister. I don''t want to see you pestering her. Otherwise, I''ll kill you.”
