Chapter 783 Is He Really Dead
The more she thought about it, the more intense her anger grew. That man didn''t deserve sympathy.
He had brought it upon himself.
“Let''s have someone be in charge of taking care of him. At least he''s alive. He''ll recover one day.”
Having said that, she turned around and prepared to leave. Bailey raised her eyebrows. She smiled
sarcastically and said, “Who said he would recover? If he doesn''t receive proper care, his entire upper
body could be paralyzed.”
Shannon suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at her with a face full of
astonishment.
“What are you saying? His entire upper body will be paralyzed? Didn''t you say the surgery was
sessful? How could he end up paralyzed?” Bailey shrugged nonchntly.
“The surgery was sessful in the sense that his life was saved and his ribs were reconnected.
However, it''s hard to say whether he''ll fully recover or not.”
She continued, “If his body isn''t in good condition and doesn''t respond to the treatment, even if his
surface wounds healpletely, his ribs might not recover. In that case, his entire upper body will still
be unable to move. If that''s not paralysis, then what is it?”
Shannon slowly turned around with a mocking smile on her face.

“So you''re in league with them.” Bailey didn''t respond. Instead, she changed the subject.
“I''ve made the situation clear to you. If you don''t want him to be paralyzed, you''d better take good
care of him. This guy is quite a handful. If you don''t keep an eye on him, he might get more crazy ideas
and inflict further harm on himself. Then, there''ll be no saving him.”
The veins on Shannon''s forehead bulged out prominently. She was being put on the spot. The worst
part was that she couldn''t even refuse. Was it really all right for them to pressure her like this?
Bailey tossed the stethoscope in her hand aside. After checking all the medical equipment one by one,
she paced towards the door.
“I''ll be leaving Tarragon in a couple of days. Please take good care of him. Bone injuries are slow to
recover. You wouldn''t want his entire right chest to copse.”
She continued, “A fractured rib is no small matter. If you don''t want to have any regrets in the future, go
along with his wishes. Take good care of him. It''s rare for a man to hurt himself ruthlessly to gain a
beautiful woman''s sympathy.”
Shannon red at her, “Bailey, we''re not good friends anymore.”
Bailey raised her eyebrows and smiled, “No matter. Micah and Artemis are my good buddies. If you
don''t want to be my friend, you can be my younger sibling instead. You should get used to it. Maybe
one day you''ll call me your sister-inw. Hehe! I''m looking forward to that day.”
Just as Bailey stepped out of Micah''s residence, she bumped into Zeke, who hade to look for her.
“Bay, the situation in Moranta is getting more and moreplicated.”
Bailey was taken aback. She asked with a frown, “What happened?”
Zeke handed her the note in his hand. Upon taking a nce, Bailey''s expression immediately turned
gloomy.
“I can''t believe Shaun had the audacity toy hands on Aunt Caridee. Originally I had no proper reason
to provoke the Carter family. I wanted to attack them anonymously and start a conflict between the
Carter family and the Luther family, both of which are prestigious households. Now that Shaun dared to
mess with the Luther family''s precious princess, he can''t me me for taking action against him.
Veikko did a great job. If it were me, I also would have released a few mastiffs to make a mess out of
him.”
Zeke rubbed his forehead andughed.
“Revenge may feel good for a moment, but dealing with the aftermath is like dealing with a cremation
ground. By doing so, Veikko is pushing Shaun to form an alliance with Philip.”
At that point, he seemed to sense that something was amiss and asked with a furrowed brow, “Why do
you want to deal with the Carter family? Did you have any grievances or grudges with them before
this?”
After giving it some thought, Bailey decided to tell him about Veikko''s background.
“Do you think I should deal with the Carter family? Veikko is my little brother. I''ll make them pay for
everything he has experienced and encountered with interest.”
Zeke''s eyes swirled with a lingering astonishment.
He would never have imagined that the tenacious and outstanding young man had such a tumultuous
and bloody past.
“If that''s the case, Shaun joining forces with Philip isn''t too bad. We can take them all down in one fell
swoop.”
Bailey hooked her lips into a smile, her gaze falling in the direction of the main hall.
“It''s time to release the news of Artemis'' poisoning and death. Let''s go to the headquarters and discuss
our strategy with him. We''ve beenying low for so long, it''s about time we go out and take some
action.”
Inside the main building on Intel Ind, Quincy was gathering his subordinates to discuss their alliance
with Sofie to take down the Tarragon headquarters from the inside and out.
The poison, Soul Reaper, in Artemis'' body, spelt certain death. Micah jumped into a crocodile pond for
the sake of a woman and ended up severely injured. And Sofie had Holden in the palm of her hand. In
their battle for power, they were destined to win no matter how one looked at it.
With the loss of those three leaders, Tarragon had already lost half of its power. As long as they
nned properly, they could surely achieve victory without taking any more losses.
“Mr. Quincy, looking at the situation now, it seems we''re certain to win.”
“Not bad. I initially thought Micah could be a formidable opponent and that dealing with him might take
some time. But now, he''s brought about his own downfall, all for a woman. He''s no longer going to be a
problem.”
“Mr. Quincy, the time is ripe. When can we take action?” Quincy waved his hand and said coldly, “The
best opportunity to strike hasn''te yet. Let''s wait a little longer.”
At that moment, a person dressed in ck darted in from outside and whispered a few words into
Quincy''s ear.
Upon hearing this, a hint of delight appeared on his face. “Is it really true that he''s dead? Are you sure
this information is reliable?”
“Mr. Quincy, rest assured, although we have already left the headquarters, there are still some insiders
from our side that remained. I''ve contacted them and got thetest information. Their Leader has
indeed died from poisoning, and Holden is trying to suppress this matter.”
“Hahaha!” Quincy looked up andughed heartily.
“Indeed, heaven is on our side! Now is the perfect time. Artemis is dead, Micah is crippled, and
Holden''s in Sofie''s hands. We''re just waiting for the final showdown.”
“Mr. Quincy, why don''t we strike while the iron is hot and attack their headquarters now, catching them
off guard?”
“No, we can''t.” Quincy hurriedly waved his hand and said, “It''s not the right time yet, because Bailey is
still alive. If we attack the Tarragon headquarters now, we''ll only end up in a situation where both sides
suffer losses.”
“If Bailey takes action, we''ll bepletely powerless to fight back. In the end, we''d just be facilitating
Sofie and Philip''s marriage. I can''t bring myself to do such a foolish thing.”
Bailey...Right. There''s still Bailey.
“So, should we spread the news about the Leader''s death by poisoning now? Holden has been trying
hard to suppress this information to avoid causing internal chaos.”
“Let''s expose it. It''ll definitely cause chaos. After all, there are so many people coveting Tarragon''s
territory.”
Quincy stroked his beard. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, “Release the news. Do it
discreetly and leave no traces behind.”
“Yes.”
Inside the study in the medical base at Hallsbay, Zain tossed a few test reports in front of Justin.
“I''m really puzzled. The Xuereb family is a prestigious family of medical practitioners with your mother
the matriarch. How could she havee up with such a malicious method? Even as an outsider, I find
it hard to ept.”
