Chapter 589
Chapter 586 House Arrest
Bailey received a call from the asylum, informing her that Rhonda had regained consciousness. They
then asked for her instructions on how to handle the woman.
However, with a pile of pressing matters on her te, she had no time to concern herself with Rhonda''s
fate. She instructed the asylum to keep Rhonda locked up to prevent any escape attempts.
To be confined to a mental institution day in and day out and have to endure the cold stares of
caregivers while surrounded by a throng of lunatics... This was perhaps the cruelest form of
punishment in the world.
No blood was shed, yet it inflicted a kind of torture that left one wishing for death.
Bailey had wanted this effect when she ordered the doctors to cure Rhonda.
That woman deserved to die.
But to let her die so easily would have been too merciful. Hence, Bailey devised this method to torment
her.
She had always maintained that she was no saint; one could get away with crossing her once or twice,
but to do it three or four times...
Unfortunately for them, she wasn''t their mother, and there was no reason for her to put up with them.
When Zeke brought Zayron back to the medical base, it was already the next morning.
After a night of Felicity''s condition worsening, things stabilized somewhat after daybreak, which greatly
relieved Bailey.
Regardless of whether Felicity could wake up, preserving her life was the most important thing right
now. Bailey refused to believe that she couldn''t cure the olddy with her medical skills.
In the adjacent room, Bailey rubbed her forehead while listening to Zayron''s report.
When she learned that Scarlett had orchestrated the catastrophic car ident that caused so many
casualties, she gripped the ss in her hand so hard it broke.

The shards cut into her flesh, and soon blood flowed from her palm.
Zeke chided her gently, “Why are you torturing yourself over someone else''s wrongful act?”
Bailey lowered her head, speaking in a cold tone. “I''m not torturing myself; I''m venting my anger.
Anyway, forget about it. I''m fine. I can apply some medicer. Since we couldn''t extract information
on the true mastermind behind the scenes from those moles, we can''t let our guard down yet. We still
have a tough battle ahead of us.”
Zeke fell silent for a moment before asking, “So, how do you n to deal with Scarlett? She is Raiden''s
sister, after all. If her involvement in the massive traffic ident were exposed, she could face
imprisonment or even worse—”
However, Bailey interrupted him with a wave of her hand. “So what? From the moment she decided to
kill me using this method, it was inevitable that she would pay a painful price for her foolish actions.
Raiden isn''t stupid, so he should have already realized that his sister is behind it, but he didn''t call me,
which speaks volumes about his intentions. He must be nning on letting me handle it.”
Zeke nodded. “Okay, as long as you can weigh the pros and cons, that''s fine. I''m not asking you to
forgive her. I''m just concerned that you''ll feel conflicted due to your friendship with Raiden. After all,
that man has helped you so much.”
“Zeke, right is right, and wrong is wrong. If someone has made a mistake, they should be punished,
shouldn''t they? If the line between right and wrong is blurred, and the culprit can escape punishment,
then how terrible would this world be?”
At this point, Bailey took a deep breath and continued through gritted teeth, “I won''t be lenient. In the
past, I spared her multiple times for Raiden''s sake, but this time, with five dead and twelve injured, she
can''t escape from her punishment. I''ll send her to prison myself. As for whether the Fletcher family will
abuse their power and use their influence to get her out, that''s not within my considerations. However, I
will reveal her crimes to the public so that even the Fletcher family can''t cover things up.”
“Okay, do what you think is right. I promise that no one will threaten and hurt you. You''ve had a long
day and night, so go rest for a while. Don''t be too hard on yourself, or else I''ll knock you out and take
you back to the Shurmer family. Then you can stop worrying about the affairs of the Luther family.”
“No.” Bailey quicklyy down on the bed and closed her eyes obediently. “I''ll sleep. Don''t take me
back.”
This brother of hers could be really ruthless and would do anything. If she didn''t listen to him, he would
really knock her out and take her away.
There was no way she could leave at a time like this.
Scarlett was scared. She had nned to escape back to Dellmoor early in the morning.
As long as she returned to the Fletcher family, she would be safe because she didn''t believe her
parents would abandon her.
Even if things were exposed, her parents would protect her.
But before she could even leave the hotel, she was stopped by several ck-d bodyguards.
“What are you doing? Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me? Are you seeking death?”
Scarlett eximed.
One of the bodyguards nodded and said, “Ms. Scarlett, we were sent by Mr. Raiden to guard you. Until
he gives the green light, you cannot leave this hotel. Please go back.”
Guard me? What does that mean?
She immediately looked angry and gritted her teeth, saying, “I''m the daughter of the Fletcher family and
known as Lady Scarlett of Chanaea. Who dares to stop me? Are you not afraid that I will chop off your
heads?”
“Please cooperate with us. Mr. Raiden has instructed us to keep you here until your suspicion is
cleared.''“
Scarlett''s face turned pale for a moment as she took a few steps back unsteadily.
What does Raiden mean by this? Is he nning to put me under house arrest?
Once it''s confirmed that I had ordered for the major car ident to happen, is he nning to send me
to court and uphold justice even if it means sacrificing family ties?
