Chapter 715 Ruin Your Face
She had always been decisive and would act quickly once she made up her mind.
Since she had determined to adopt Zain''s treatment n, she didn''t hesitate any further.
Moreover, Veronique''s condition had progressed to a highly critical stage and couldn''t be dyed any
longer. For every day they waited, the probability of her being cured would decrease.
Beep!
As the call connected, an amused voice sounded from the receiver.
“I can''t believe you took the initiative to contact me. So, tell me. Have you or someone close to you
been poisoned by Soul Reaper?”
Bailey was slightly taken aback. Why did he ask a question like that? Soul Reaper is the restricted
poison in the Yablon family and has always been sealed inside their family''s ancestral hall. It hasn''t
appeared in the outside world for decades, and no outsiders knew how to create this poison. It sounds
like... “Don''t tell me your family''s Soul Reaper was stolen and is now circting in the outside world.”
A snicker came from the other end of the call. “How could an item my family has guarded for
generations be so easily stolen? Didn''t you previously swear you wouldn''t contact me unless you''ve
been poisoned with Soul Reaper? Now that you''re calling me, I assumed you were poisoned.”
Bailey was rendered speechless. This jerk has a good memory. I can''t believe he still remembers what
I said even though I''ve forgotten all about it.
“As long as the Yablon family doesn''t lose Soul Reaper, I won''t be poisoned by it. That''s enough. Cut
the nonsense, and let’s get to the point. Come to Hallsbay. I need your help.”
A low chuckle sounded from the phone''s speaker, followed by the voice of a man, which wasced with
hints of mockery.
"Only you can be so shameless, Bailey. You''re requesting another person''s help, yet you''re still so
arrogant. Putting aside why you need my help, I will consider going to Hallsbay if you ruin your face
first. The scar on the corner of my eye shouldn''t be there for nothing.”
Bailey didn''t respond immediately.
Instead, she took a deep breath to suppress her boiling rage before uttering through gritted teeth,
“Cameron, can you be reasonable? If it weren''t for your persistence to cling to me back then, why
would I-”
At that point, she abruptly caught herself. Hold on. Why do my words sound so ambiguous?
"Yes, that''s right. I was indeed persistent in clinging to you in the past. Unfortunately, you didn''t bother
to reciprocate my feelings, causing all my heartfelt shows of affection to go to waste. I—”
She raised her voice and yelled, "Stop it. Talk like a normal person. A scheming and cunning person
like you, pretending to be a
romantic saint, is really nauseating. If I disfigure my face, will youe to Hallsbay?”
Cameronughed quietly. “Don''t do that. I look at a painting of you every day and am already used to
seeing your exquisite face. It''ll be such a waste if your face is ruined. I''m just kidding, so don''t take it
seriously.”
"Perv*rt.” Only a pervert will stare at the portrait of their enemy every day.
She leaned against a rack in exasperation. “Quit yapping and give me a straight answer. Will youe
to Hallsbay or not?”
“Of course, I''m going. How can I refuse a beauty''s invitation? Wait for me. I—”
Without waiting for him to finish, she hung up and mmed the phone on the table.
“What an ‘sshole! If it weren''t because I needed his help, I wouldn''t take the initiative to contact him
even if someone were to threaten me to do it with my life.”
Their conversation was on loudspeaker, so Zeke heard everything they said.
His intuition as a man told him Artemis might be facing another formidable rival in love.
"All right. Don''t be mad. We''ll just wait for his arrival since he has agreed toe to Hallsbay. If you
don''t want to see him, I''ll negotiate with him.”
Bailey waved her hand. “Keep this news under wraps, and don''t let Artemis find out. I''m afraid he will
rush back here if he knows about this. By the way, is there any news from Philip? He saved our father,
so the Shurmer family owes him a favor. Since he has achieved his goal, did he mention when he''ll be
leaving?”
Zeke frowned and replied solemnly, “Nope. He doesn''t seem to be in a hurry to leave. Even when I told
him Juliana''s miscarriage was an ident due to her own negligence, and I wouldn''t me the
Hoffman family, he still showed no inclination to leave Hallsbay. I wonder if he has other ns.”
“Send someone to monitor him around the clock.”
Zeke thought for a moment before suggesting, “Why don''t we seize him directly and exchange him for
Juliana?”
Bailey shook her head and sighed. “Raymond will never do that. Besides, Juliana won''t agree to leave
her family either because Huntley is involved in this matter. She will never abandon him. Moreover, I
also n to use Philip to lure out Sofie. That woman is too ambitious, so we must eliminate her as soon
as possible.
Otherwise, I won''t be able to rest assured. Hence, we can''t detain Philip.”
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
“Fine. We''ll do as you say.”
Meanwhile, inside the living room at a suburban mansion, Philip leaned against the couch, answering a
phone call from Tucker.
“Dad, Uncle Raymond is nning to announce Huntley and Juliana''s marriage publicly. What do you
think he''s trying to achieve here? Does he have some kind of tricks up his sleeve?”
Announcing the marriage? Philip furrowed his brows.
He wasn''t worried about the alternative n Raymond might''ve devised. Instead, Philip was concerned
whether Wendy would take the bait after the marriage was made known to the public.
He still wanted to take control of Wendy and use her to threaten Holden in the future.
“When is he nning to make the announcement?”
“In three days. Dad, you haven''t answered my question yet. Is heing up with a fallback by
suddenly deciding to have Juliana engaged to Huntley?”
Philip sneered and uttered casually, “What are you afraid of? With Sofie''s assistance, we''ll be able to
take over Tarragon. After we seize control of Tarragon''s power, the position as the head of the Hoffman
family will be ours, right?”
“But-”
“No more ''buts.'' Try to dy the announcement of the marriage for a few more days to give me time to
set up my ns.”
“Okay. I''ll try, but you''ll need to hurry too. I''ve made all the necessary preparations on my end. Once
Wendy boards the ne and leaves the country, my subordinate will immediately apprehend her.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Philip went to the guest room and forced Miranda to call her again, urging her to
leave Hallsbay and head to Moranta as soon as possible.
Wendy had recuperated for a few days and used the best medications, so her wounds were almost
fully recovered.
After receiving Miranda''s phone call, she grew increasingly restless. After hanging up the phone, she
went to meet with Bailey.
Inside the study, Bailey arched her brow and looked at Wendy, teasing, "You''ve recovered well after
using the medicines I invented. I guess I can exin myself to Holden now if he asks. He didn''t regard
me as his sister-inw for nothing.”
Wendy walked up to Bailey, sat opposite thetter, and asked through gritted teeth, “Bailey, did Julie
suffer a miscarriage? Has Huntley been crippled?”
The smile on Bailey''s face gradually dissipated. She narrowed her eyes and questioned Wendy,
“Where did you hear that from?”
“Aunt Miranda told me. Bailey, aren''t you going to save Julie?”
Bailey lowered her head slightly and said, “I can''t leave at the moment. However, I won''t abandon her.
After Edmund''s condition stabilizes, I''ll go and rescue her.”
Wendy pursed her lips. I''m afraid it''ll be toote by then.
