Chapter 644 Reap What You Sow
Artemis gave her the side-eye and curled his lips into a half-smile.
“Do you have a grudge against that woman? It seems like you can''t wait for her to die. What''s the
matter? Did something unpleasant happen between the two of you?”
Yvette shuddered, and her heart tightened.
She couldn''t figure out why he would ask such a question, but upon reflection, she realized her actions
had indeed been quite obvious. Did he figure something out?
After a moment of silence, she replied, “Leader, you must be joking. I stay in Tarragon''s headquarters
all year round, so how could I possibly interact with the head of the Saviors?
“I''m considered one of your subordinates now. In addition, I was the daughter of Tarragon''s previous
leader. Everyone in the organization would address me as “Your Royal Highness” whenever they saw
me. I grew up in Tarragon since I was little, so that is my home. Now, the Saviors are invading
Tarragon''s territory and threatening the home I''ve lived in for many years. Therefore, isn''t it normal for
me to be hostile toward the leader of the Saviors?”
Artemis averted his gaze. A calcting glint shed across his eyes as he uttered nonchntly, “Your
father should''ve left you with quite some power. We both know about this, even though no one says it
aloud. This is not something that can be concealed. If you really want to help me with my troubles, you
can dispatch those forces to deal with Bailey. I don''t rmend you overstep the bounds. It''ll be
considered a great contribution if you resolve our current predicament. In that case, I can fulfill any of
your wishes.”
He was extending her an offer, gradually luring her to make a move.
Only after she took action could he eliminate all her forces in one fell swoop, remove all the obstacles,
and revamp Tarragon.
He needed to eradicate those who disobeyed him.
From then on, he would have sole control over Tarragon.
Hisrgest obstacle at that moment was the forces and old subordinates left behind by the former
leader. If Artemis wanted to get rid of them, he must start with Yvette and Dominic.
Once the two of them were taken down, all the forces left by the former leader would copse.
That was also why he allowed Yvette to do as she pleased in front of him.
He could only prompt them to reveal their true colors by numbing their senses and lowering their
guards.
Evidently, Yvette hadn''t realized he had set a trap for her. After she listened to his words, a surprised
look shed across her face. I can''t believe he''s supporting me to utilize the forces left behind by my
father to target Bailey. With his encouragement, what do I have to worry, hesitate, or fear about? I
should just take action. All the forces left behind by my father have gathered at Dellmoor anyway. They
couldunch an all-out attack on Bailey after I give themand. I don''t believe she can withstand a
massive onught of assassins.
“L-Leader, can I really deploy the forces left behind by my father to assassinate Bailey and assist you?”
Artemis curled his lips into a wicked smile, arched his brow, and asked, “You''ll be sharing my burden,
so why wouldn''t I agree?” “I''ve already issued a global kill order previously. Killing the head of the
Saviors is a must and a mission I''m serious about. If you can lend me a hand, that''s even better. You''ll
have made a great contribution if you can help me sort out this difficult situation. When we return to the
headquarters, I''ll give you whatever you want, and no one will be allowed to have any objections.”
Yvette suddenly clenched her fists as utter delight washed over her. Is he promising me the position of
matriarch?
“L-Leader, I don''t want others to be Tarragon''s princess; I want to be Tarragon''s matriarch. Can you
really fulfill my wish?”
Artemis grinned and answered half-heartedly, “When you were about to get married, didn''t I help you
cancel the marriage? Do you still not understand my intention? I disagreed with you marrying someone
else because I want you to stay in Tarragon forever. And if you remain in Tarragon, aside from being
the princess, the only other avable status is the be its matriarch. Be more confident. I want to
give you what you desire.”
Yvette wanted to jump with joy on the spot because she was genuinely ted. He just promised me the
matriarch''s position. I have nothing to worry about, then. The most important thing to do now is to kill
Bailey to eliminate future threats. Bailey isn''t easy prey, and she won''t give up just like that. Even if
Artemis has lost his memories now, she can still recover his memories with her medical skills.
Therefore, I won''t allow her any chance. Only a dead person will cease to oppose me.
Yvette decided to take action in the uing few days to do away with Bailey.
“Okay, I''ll contact the assassins my father left me and have theme to Hallsbay. They were the
most elite and top-notch assassins under my father''smand. Although Bailey has many
subordinates from the Saviors protecting her, we''ll find an opportunity to kill her. After all, it is easy to
dodge an open attack but difficult to defend against a concealed one.”
“Okay. Go ahead with the arrangements. I''ll wait for your good news. Don''t let me down.”
Yvette nodded vigorously. “Rest assured. I won''t disappoint you.”
With that, he turned around and walked toward the door.
Taking in her enraptured demeanor from behind, Artemis couldn''t help but curl his lips into a sneer.
I can''t believe a fool like her thinks she canpare herself to Bailey. Ha! It''s essential for one to know
their limitations. Unfortunately, she doesn''t. Therefore, she''s destined to suffer a tragic end.
...
Later that night, inside the bedroom at the Shurmer residence, Waverly stood by the bedside,
narrowing her eyes at Shirley who was lying in bed while wearing a poker face.

Anger churned within her chest as she gazed at that woman. I''ve been so horribly deceived by the
mother and daughter of the Gourd family.
Waverly had never been so thoroughly toyed with by anyone in her entire life.
“Bailey told me everything. What else do you have to say for yourself? I''ve treated you like my own
daughter all these years, but I never thought you would collude with your mother to trick me. You''ve
truly disappointed me.”
Feeling anxious, Shirley hastily reached out to grab Waverly''s arm and sobbed, “Mrs. Shurmer, I had
no other choice. I watched Juliana seduce Zeke to bed, and if I didn''t do anything and pretend to be
her, I would lose Zeke forever. Even though this baby was conceived through In vitro fertilization and
imnted in me, which isn''t something honorable to be mentioned in public, the baby is still the
Shurmer family''s descendant. It''s still your biological grandchild.”
Waverly furrowed her brows and asked through gritted teeth, “Are you certain that child is of the
Shurmer family''s bloodline?”
Shirley hurriedly nodded. “The sperm was stolen from the Shurmer family''s sperm bank. The child
belongs to Zeke. Mrs. Shurmer, you''ve always been fond of me and wanted to have grandchildren,
right? The process doesn''t matter. What''s important is that your wish has been fulfilled.”
A stern look shed across Waverly''s countenance. Instead of exposing Genevieve''s scheme, she
uttered coldly, “Have a good rest. I''ll send someone to take you back to the Gourd residence in a
couple of days.” Since Genevieve plotted this, I shall let her reap what she sows alongside her
daughter.
