    Zoey apologized to the person on the other end of the phone and ended the call.

    “Don''t be angry, Lady Scarlett. I''m working on a cooperation deal between us,” Zoey uttered.


    Cooperation? Scarlett narrowed her eyes and stared at Zoey. “What tricks are you ying on me,


    Zoey? At this moment, I''m not someone you can afford to mess with.”


    Zoey smiled sheepishly and replied, “You''re right, Lady Scarlett. Who would dare to cross you?


    However, you''re suffering emotionally, aren''t you? Don''t you think that''s rather...”


    “What are you getting at?” Scarlett raised her voice. “Zoey, I don''t have time for your bullsh*t. Spill it!”


    “Veronique is critically ill.”


    Scarlett was stunned momentarily. She then narrowed her eyes at Zoey and queried, “What did you


    say?”


    Zoey lowered her head to conceal the frigid look in her eyes from Scarlett. What''s with her attitude?


    Everyone knows she can only afford to behave this way because the Fletcher family is backing her. I


    would love to see if she can still stay arrogant when she loses the Fletcher family''s support one day.


    “I said Veronique was critically ill. Prior to this, one of the experts called me and told me the cancer


    cells in Veronique were starting to spread, so she was in critical condition. But...”


    “But what? Speak.”


    “But it seems like Bailey will save her. You know Bailey is Anonymous, right? Not only does she have


    incredible medical skills, but she had even developed an anti-cancer drug for the country. Hence, she''s


    rather experienced in this field. If she says she can save Veronique, she surely can.”


    Hearing that, Scarlett mmed her hand on the table, and her face was distorted with rage. “It''s you


    again, Bailey Jefferson! You''re always ruining my ns. Is your existence just to oppose me?”


    In response, Zoey clicked her tongue and uttered in disappointment, “Initially, after Veronique died, no


    one would be standing in your way anymore, Lady Scarlett. She was meant to die. However, Bailey


    showed up and ended your hopes.”


    Scarlett red at Zoey and gritted her teeth. “You didn''t ask me out just to say this, did you? What else


    do you have for me? Spill it! My patience is running low.”


    “All right. Since you''re being so straightforward, Ms. Fletcher, I''ll be frank. Would you like to work with


    me to get rid of Bailey?”


    What? Of course! Scarlett was too angry to think it through, and she asked, “How?”


    “Now is the best chance to kill Bailey.”


    Scarlett clenched her fists, and her gaze turned gloomy. “What chance are you talking about? If it turns


    out to be something I deem doable, I''m not going to hold back.”


    Scarlett had been wanting to kill Bailey. However, she failed every time she tried. Needless to say, she


    hated Bailey to the bone, and she wanted nothing more than to kill her.


    “It has been raining, hasn''t it? If Bailey were to die in a road ident, wouldn''t that be easy and


    convenient?” Zoey asked.


    Scarlett raised her gaze abruptly and asked, “That''s a crime. Are you asking me tomit a crime,


    Zoey? What are your intentions?”


    Zoey chuckled coldly, and a frightening look appeared on her face. “Lady Scarlett, how could it not be a


    crime if we are killing someone? That''s just how it is. If you want Bailey to die, that''s the only thing you


    can do now. Besides, now is your perfect chance because Artemis isn''t in Hallsbay. Bailey is seldom


    out of the house except for today. You can''t possibly go to the Luther residence to kill Bailey, can you?


    Also, you won''t have a chance to get rid of Bailey once Artemis has returned.”


    In response, Zoey clicked her tongue and uttered in disappointment, “Initially, after Veronique died, no


    one would be standing in your way anymore, Lady Scarlett. She was meant to die. However, Bailey


    showed up and ended your hopes.”


    Scarlett pursed her lips and kept mum for a while. Through her gritted teeth, she said, “Okay. Today''s


    the day, then. Tell me where she''ll be and when she''ll be there. I''ll arrange for someone to cause a road


    ident.”


    “Sure. Let''s have a fruitful coboration.”


    ...


    Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Shurmer residence, Zayron and Maxton arrived in front of a room


    door.


    The moment they approached the room, the guards guarding the door stopped the boys. “Mr. Maxton


    and Mr. Zayron, Mrs. Shurmer told me to keep you away from Ms. Gourd''s room. Ms. Gourd is not


    feeling well now, so she needs to rest. Please leave.”


    The boys exchanged nces andmunicated wordlessly.


    A few secondster, Zayron smiled and uttered, “Well, I wanted to see my future aunt. Since you guys


    don''t let me do that, I''ll just forget about it.”


    After that, Maxton said loudly, “Since our aunt is refusing to see us, that means she doesn''t even see


    us as her nephews. All right, then. From now on, we don''t have to acknowledge her as our aunt


    anymore.”


    Shirley heard what the boys said from inside the room, and she was furrowing her brows. Zeke seems


    to like Bailey''s kids a lot. If I can get in the kids'' good books, does that mean Zeke will treat me nicer?


    With that in mind, she quickly called out to the guard, “Let them in!”


    The guard opened the door and uttered in an aggrieved tone, “Mrs. Shurmer told me to keep them


    away from you.”


    “It''s fine. If Mrs. Shurmer reprimands you guys, I''ll bear the consequences. Let them in. Since the kids


    want to see their aunt, how can I refuse to see them?”
