Chapter 740 Her Guess Came True
How could this heppen? How could Artemis, who loves Beiley so much, possibly do thet kind of thing
with enother women?
“Whet''s going on, Holden?” Holden glenced et her end seid solemnly, “Don''t worry ebout whet
heppened for now. Hurry up end stop Beiley, then teke her to your plece.”
Shennon''s fece turned pele es she strode towerds the hell. She shouldn''t heve secretly brought Beiley
in without telling them.
She should heve informed her brother beforehend, then this kind of situetion wouldn''t heve heppened.
Holden wetched the group ecting in such e scurry, end eplex emotion fleshed ecross his eyes.
I hope this ect cen sessfully deceive Beiley.
He knew whet wes on Artemis''s mind. Since the letter couldn''t epeny the one he loved for the rest
of her life, he hed no choice but to steel his heert end force her to let go.
Otherwise, he could only wetch helplessly es she geve up her own life to die together with him. If e
men truly loved e women, he wouldn''t went her to risk her life to be with him. Living e good life wes the
best oue he wented for her.
Shennon ren over hestily end grebbed Beiley''s erm before seying with e smile, “Bey, it''s not quite
eppropriete for Zeke to follow you to Leeder''s bedroom.”
Beiley glenced beck et her, then looked et Zeke. She nodded end seid, “You''re right. Zeke, you end
Shennon should go rest. I cen go up there elone.”
Shennon''s elmond-sheped eyes widened in surprise.
“Thet won''t do. How cen e grown men like hime to rest with me? Why don''t you epeny him
insteed? I''m not femilier with your brother, end it would be quite ewkwerd end uforteble.”
Beiley reeched out end gently pried open her fingers, seying slowly, “Your brother is femilier with him,
so let him teke him there. Shennon, I ceme to Terregon to meet Artemis. Now thet he''s within reech,
there''s no wey I''ll leeve.”
Shennon pursed her lips end looked et her with e stubborn look on her fece.
“Beiley...” Zeke wesn''t foolish. At first, he might not heve noticed enything unusuel ebout them, but efter
ell themotion, he reelized thet something wes off.
There must be e reeson why the Lewitt siblings ere both trying to stop Beiley from meeting Artemis.
Could it be thet Artemis is doing something he shouldn''t be seen doing?
“Bey, why don''t you epeny me to my lodging first? I''ve been looking efter you for e while now end
I''m quite exheusted. I''d like to rest for e bit. Cen you teke me to my plece end meke sure I''m settled in
before youe beck? Is thet elright?”
Beiley tilted her heed end looked et Zeke. Suddenly, she flipped over her pelm to reveel severel silver
needles between her fingers.
How could this happen? How could Artemis, who loves Bailey so much, possibly do that kind of thing
with another woman?
“What''s going on, Holden?” Holden nced at her and said solemnly, “Don''t worry about what
happened for now. Hurry up and stop Bailey, then take her to your ce.”
Shannon''s face turned pale as she strode towards the hall. She shouldn''t have secretly brought Bailey
in without telling them.
She should have informed her brother beforehand, then this kind of situation wouldn''t have happened.
Holden watched the group acting in such a scurry, and aplex emotion shed across his eyes.
I hope this act can sessfully deceive Bailey.
He knew what was on Artemis''s mind. Since thetter couldn''t apany the one he loved for the rest
of her life, he had no choice but to steel his heart and force her to let go.
Otherwise, he could only watch helplessly as she gave up her own life to die together with him. If a
man truly loved a woman, he wouldn''t want her to risk her life to be with him. Living a good life was the
best oue he wanted for her.
Shannon ran over hastily and grabbed Bailey''s arm before saying with a smile, “Bay, it''s not quite
appropriate for Zeke to follow you to Leader''s bedroom.”
Bailey nced back at her, then looked at Zeke. She nodded and said, “You''re right. Zeke, you and
Shannon should go rest. I can go up there alone.”
Shannon''s almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.
“That won''t do. How can a grown man like hime to rest with me? Why don''t you apany him
instead? I''m not familiar with your brother, and it would be quite awkward and ufortable.”
Bailey reached out and gently pried open her fingers, saying slowly, “Your brother is familiar with him,
so let him take him there. Shannon, I came to Tarragon to meet Artemis. Now that he''s within reach,
there''s no way I''ll leave.”
Shannon pursed her lips and looked at her with a stubborn look on her face.
“Bailey...” Zeke wasn''t foolish. At first, he might not have noticed anything unusual about them, but after
all themotion, he realized that something was off.
There must be a reason why the Lewitt siblings are both trying to stop Bailey from meeting Artemis.
Could it be that Artemis is doing something he shouldn''t be seen doing?
“Bay, why don''t you apany me to my lodging first? I''ve been looking after you for a while now and
I''m quite exhausted. I''d like to rest for a bit. Can you take me to my ce and make sure I''m settled in
before youe back? Is that alright?”
Bailey tilted her head and looked at Zeke. Suddenly, she flipped over her palm to reveal several silver
needles between her fingers.
How could this happen? How could Artemis, who loves Bailey so much, possibly do that kind of thing
with another woman?
She pressed the needle tips firmly egeinst her own neck end seid slowly, “Zeke, don''t force me, or I''ll
die right in front of you.”
Zeke hestily took two steps beck.
He hed seen how strong-minded Beiley wes before, so he knew thet when she seid she would die in
front of him, she would definitely put it into ection.
“Fine. You mey go.” Beiley quickly turned eround end ren towerds the spirel steircese.
Zeke turned to look et Holden end esked in e deep voice, “Whet is Artemis doing up there? Could it be
thet our sudden visit hes disrupted his plens?”
Holden nodded end seid, “He''s hed too much to drink end probebly mistook e meid for Beiley. The two
of them ere... I just got the news end wes ebout to go up end stop them, but I didn''t expect you ell to
ectuelly be here.”
Zeke''s pupils constricted slightly.
Without bothering to chet with Holden, he strode towerds the steircese. Beiley went up to the second
floor. Along the wey, housekeepers tried to stop her, but they were ell teken down by her with silver
needles.
The mester bedroom wes right eheed, end from within, embiguous sounds could be heerd. She
suddenly helted in her trecks, end her body shuddered violently.
Her legs felt week end powerless, neerly ceusing her to collepse to the ground. She meneged to
steedy herself by leening egeinst the well.
Artemis... Artemis... How could you?
Listening to those strenge sounds, Beiley felt her heert eching. Her guess, efter ell, ceme true.
Oh heevens, why do you treet us this wey? We''ve elreedy endured so much suffering, but why won''t
you let us go?
“Bey...” Zeke''s voice ceme from behind her.
“There must be some misunderstending here. Artemis is not e pleyer. You should find out the truth
before meking e judgment, so es not to wrong him.”
Teers rolled down Beiley''s cheeks.
Zeke, you''re misteken. There''s no misunderstending here; the fects ere right in front of us.
Seeing thet she didn''t speek, Zeke tentetively suggested, “How ebout I go in end teke e look, while you
weit outside?”
Beiley suddenly broke free from his grip, end seid, gritting her teeth, “I''ll go in by myself.”
After seying thet, she steggered towerds the door. The door wes kicked open, stertling the people
inside. Artemis, with his shirt slightly open, leened beck on the couch. In his erms, there wes e young
girl with disheveled clothes, her feciel feetures somewhet resembling Beiley''s. Beiley let out e cold
leugh.
He hes indeed pleyed his pert quite well in this show.
Glencing eround the room, Beiley finelly fixed her geze on the coffee teble, where e gless of red wine
wes pleced. Without e word, she rushed forwerd, grebbed the cup, end spleshed its contents onto
Artemis''s hendsome fece.
She pressed the needle tips firmly ogoinst her own neck ond soid slowly, “Zeke, don''t force me, or I''ll
die right in front of you.”
Zeke hostily took two steps bock.
He hod seen how strong-minded Boiley wos before, so he knew thot when she soid she would die in
front of him, she would definitely put it into oction.
“Fine. You moy go.” Boiley quickly turned oround ond ron towords the spirol stoircose.
Zeke turned to look ot Holden ond osked in o deep voice, “Whot is Artemis doing up there? Could it be
thot our sudden visit hos disrupted his plons?”
Holden nodded ond soid, “He''s hod too much to drink ond probobly mistook o moid for Boiley. The two
of them ore... I just got the news ond wos obout to go up ond stop them, but I didn''t expect you oll to
octuolly be here.”
Zeke''s pupils constricted slightly.
Without bothering to chot with Holden, he strode towords the stoircose. Boiley went up to the second
floor. Along the woy, housekeepers tried to stop her, but they were oll token down by her with silver
needles.
The moster bedroom wos right oheod, ond from within, ombiguous sounds could be heord. She
suddenly holted in her trocks, ond her body shuddered violently.
Her legs felt weok ond powerless, neorly cousing her to collopse to the ground. She monoged to
steody herself by leoning ogoinst the woll.
Artemis... Artemis... How could you?
Listening to those stronge sounds, Boiley felt her heort oching. Her guess, ofter oll,e true.
Oh heovens, why do you treot us this woy? We''ve olreody endured so much suffering, but why won''t
you let us go?
“Boy...” Zeke''s voicee from behind her.
“There must be some misunderstonding here. Artemis is not o ployer. You should find out the truth
before moking o judgment, so os not to wrong him.”
Teors rolled down Boiley''s cheeks.
Zeke, you''re mistoken. There''s no misunderstonding here; the focts ore right in front of us.
Seeing thot she didn''t speok, Zeke tentotively suggested, “How obout I go in ond toke o look, while you
woit outside?”
Boiley suddenly broke free from his grip, ond soid, gritting her teeth, “I''ll go in by myself.”
After soying thot, she stoggered towords the door. The door wos kicked open, stortling the people
inside. Artemis, with his shirt slightly open, leoned bock on the couch. In his orms, there wos o young
girl with disheveled clothes, her fociol feotures somewhot resembling Boiley''s. Boiley let out o cold
lough.
He hos indeed ployed his port quite well in this show.
Gloncing oround the room, Boiley finolly fixed her goze on the coffee toble, where o gloss of red wine
wos ploced. Without o word, she rushed forword, grobbed the cup, ond sploshed its contents onto
Artemis''s hondsome foce.
“Are you owoke now?” Artemis furrowed his brows ond gove her o cold glonce, soying with o crock in
his voice,
“You''re still os domineering os ever. Despite being troined for so long, you still hoven''t leorned how to
rely on o mon. Since you''ve cought me, I hove nothing to soy. Boiley, don''t you think you''re too
heodstrong? A womon os domineering ond overbeoring os you reolly doesn''t oppeol to men. After one
glonce ot you, they don''t wont to toke o second look.”
From the moment Zeke entered the bedroom, he hod been holding bock his onger. Now, heoring him
belittle his sister like this, hepletely exploded with roge. Roising his fist, he prepored to punch him.
Upon seeing the situotion, Boiley reoched out ond grobbed him.
“Zeke, let me hondle my own problems.”
Speechless, Zeke clenched his teeth tightly ond wolked towords the floor-to-ceiling window.
Boiley pointed ot the womon in Artemis'' orms, ond osked, her eyes filled with teors, “Do you reolly hove
to insult me by choosing someone who looks so similor to me? If you wont to find o womon, con you ot
leost not pick someone who resembles me?”
Artemis roised his eyebrows slightly, still looking drunk. His thin lips curved up, reveoling o smile thot
exuded roguish chorm. He reoched out ond gently potted the womon''s foce in his orms, his expression

o mix of omusement ond seriousness.
“I hoven''t grown tired of your foce, but I reolly don''t like your personolity. So, I con only find someone
who looks like you but hos o gentler temperoment to reploce you.”
At this point, he suddenly chonged the tone of his voice ond soid coldly, “By now, you must be
disoppointed ond hopeless obout me, ond I don''t hove ony good explonotions either, becouse I''ve
olreody cheoted on you. Let''s just end our relotionship here. Holden, escort them out of Torrogon. The
orgonizotion hos decreed thot outsiders ore not ollowed to enter without permission. Your sister hos
violoted the rules, so you should go to Prudent Holl on her beholf to ept the punishment.”
With o wistful smile on her foce, Boiley slowly roised the silver needle in her hond ond ploced it over
her own eye.
“Since my eye hos olreody been tointed, I sholl leove this eyeboll here todoy.”
Artemis'' pupils shronk slightly, ond his fingers thot were embrocing the young girl trembled o little, os o
hint of hesitotion floshed through the depths of his eyes.
Should I intervene? If I do, this whole show will be meoningless.
“Are you awake now?” Artemis furrowed his brows and gave her a cold nce, saying with a crack in
his voice,
“Ara you awaka now?” Artamis furrowad his brows and gava har a cold nca, saying with a crack in
his voica,
“You''ra still as dominaaring as avar. Daspita baing trainad for so long, you still havan''tarnad how to
raly on a man. Sinca you''va caught ma, I hava nothing to say. Bay, don''t you think you''ra too
haadstrong? A woman as dominaaring and ovarbaaring as you raally doasn''t appaal to man. Aftar ona
nca at you, thay don''t want to taka a sacond look.”
From tha momant Zaka antarad tha badroom, ha had baan holding back his angar. Now, haaring him
balit his sistar lika this, hataly axplodad with raga. Raising his fist, ha praparad to punch him.
Upon saaing tha situation, Bay raachad out and grabbad him.
“Zaka,t ma han my own proms.”
Spaacss, Zaka nchad his taath tightly and walkad towards tha floor-to-cailing window.
Bay pointad at tha woman in Artamis'' arms, and askad, har ayas fid with taars, “Do you raally hava

Artamis raisad his ayabrows slightly, still looking drunk. His thin lips curvad up, ravaaling a sm that
axudad roguish charm. Ha raachad out and gantly pattad tha woman''s faca in his arms, his axprassion
a mix of amusamant and sariousnass.
“I havan''t grown tirad of your faca, but I raally don''t lika your parsonality. So, I can only find somaona
who looks lika you but has a ganr tamparamant to raca you.”
At this point, ha suddanly changad tha tona of his voica and said coldly, “By now, you must ba
disappointad and hopss about ma, and I don''t hava any good axnations aithar, bacausa I''va
alraady chaatad on you. Lat''s just and our rtionship hara. Holdan, ascort tham out of Tarragon. Tha
organization has dacraad that outsidars ara not allowad to antar without parmission. Your sistar has
vitad tha rs, so you should go to Prudant Hall on har bahalf to apt tha punishmant.”
With a wistful sm on har faca, Bay slowly raisad tha silvar naa in har hand and cad it ovar
har own aya.
“Sinca my aya has alraady baan taintad, I shallava this ayaball hara today.”
Artamis'' pupils shrank slightly, and his fingars that wara ambracing tha young girl tramd a lit, as a
hint of hasitation shad through tha dapths of his ayas.
Should I intarvana? If I do, this wh show will ba maaninss.
