Chapter 930 She Fell For The Trap
She was truly scared.
When that man lost his temper, he could really drive her to her wit''s end.
Who knew what had gotten into him? He had been tormenting her relentlessly since the moment he got
back.
Whenever she saw him, her legs could not help but wobble in fear.
Artemis rubbed his temple helplessly and gave a wry smile. “You enjoyed it too, didn''t you? If it weren''t
for the excellent soundproofing in this room, I bet your voice would reverberate throughout the entire
research base.”
In an instant, Bailey''s cheeks flushed red.
When she saw him approaching her again, she red at him and yelled, “Don''t touch me. I''ve got
things to do, and I can''t mess around with you anymore.”
Artemis let out a sigh, got up, put on his robe, and then walked toward her. He forcefully picked her up,
disregarding her resistance.
“I won''t give you a hard time anymore. Go take a bath, it can help ease your body aches.”
Bailey scoffed twice and asked through gritted teeth, “Did the gorgeousdy from Interpol bewitch you?
Is that why you got all—”
“Was that not enough?” Artemis asked, narrowing his gaze as a malicious intent flickered in his eyes.
Bailey''s body trembled slightly at his threat. She quickly changed the subject, “Eunice is nning to
assassinate Catherer. Stop messing around. Hurry up and carry me into the bathroom to wash

up. Although Eunice''s perfumery skills aren''t as good as Catherine''s, she''s still hiding in the shadows,
so we need to be vignt when dealing with her.”
Upon hearing what she said, Artemis collected himself. The yful expression on his face
disappeared.
If it were someone else, he might not have taken it seriously.
But Catherine was Simon''s future wife, and there was no way he would let outsiders bully her.
“Don''t worry, there are so many of us guarding the research base. If something really happens to
Catherine, we would be so embarrassed that we''ll bang our heads against the wall.”
While that may be the case, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Meanwhile, in thest room of the infirmary, Catherine looked at her daughter with a nk face. Her
gaze was cold and indifferent.
Her daughtery on the hospital bed, eyes tightly shut, and her face extremely pale.
Originally, Catherine''s fragrance powder could effectively suppress the revival of the parasitic bug
inside Luna.
It''s all Eunice''s fault!
Catherine was well aware of the woman''s intentions. She knew that the woman wanted to harm Luna
and cause her deep grief and emotional distress, making her mentally and physically exhausted.
That was likely the only way for Eunice to stand a chance of winning when she ambushed Catherine.
Regardless, that woman was no match for Catherine. She could only resort to such despicable means
topete with Catherine.
Hmph! She''s nothing but trash. It''s ridiculous how the elders in the family are supporting her, wanting to
help her rise to power, only to rece herter.
Catherine had notid a finger on Eunice in the past few years. It was not because she was afraid of
Eunice, but rather, Catherine did not consider Eunice worthy of her time and attention.
She isn''t worthy topete with me.
“It''s almost time. Let''s leave now. Otherwise, Eunice might try to escape if she senses something amiss
upon arriving. Then it will be hard for us to catch her again.”
Simon''s deep, husky voice rang out in Catherine''s ears, snapping her back to her senses.
She quickly turned her head, and her gazended on the scene outside the window. Her hand hanging
by her side slowly clenched into a fist.
Let''s put an end to this today, Eunice.
They were destined to fight to thest breath. The only way for Catherine to ensure she lived long
enough to watch her daughter grow up was to make sure that Eunice died.
“Go tell those bodyguards who are lurking in the shadows that if Eunice attacks them and makes them
feel dizzy with her perfume, they should just y along with her and not resist.”
Simon furrowed his brows and asked, “Are you sure she only uses sedative fragrance? Not poisonous
powder?”
Catherine nced at him and then strode toward the door, speaking as she walked. “ording to the
rules of the Rogers family, all of their descendants are not allowed to harm others with poisonous
powder. Eunice is determined to be the heir of the Rogers family. Do you think she would simply
kill the innocent, only to be ultimately punished by the family rules?”
Um... All right, point taken. It''s quite a ridiculous question.
Soon, it was twelve noon.
In the southwestern corner of the research base, a slender figure darted over the wall like a ghost and
quickly vanished into the bush.
Three secondster, the serene atmosphere was disrupted by the sound of several heavy objects
hitting the ground.
Afterward, several ck-d bodyguards, who were hidden in the shadows, silently dropped onto the
Everything happened within the blink of an eye that none of them had time to react.
They felt a gust of wind sweep past them, leaving a faint fragrance lingering in the air.
Subsequently, they lost their consciousness and fainted on the ground.
Bailey was hiding behind the window sill of a distant attic, narrowing her eyes and furrowing her brows
as she watched all the events unfold before her on the other side of the wall.
“I underestimated Eunice''s skills and her mastery of the art of perfumery. I hope Catherine doesn''t take
her lightly. It''s hard to tell who will emerge victorious in the end.”
Arching a brow, Artemis leaned against another side of the window and chuckled. “Now that she has
entered the perilous ce, her fate is sealed. She will surely die, and there''s no doubt about it. Ha! I''m
really eager to know who has given this woman such confidence, making her believe she could escape
unscathed right under mine and Zeke''s watchful eyes. Even the world''s top assassins can''t return alive
once they''ve ventured into the research base. I''m curious to see just how capable this woman is.”
Bailey rolled her eyes.
Indeed, no one would turn down a spectacle.
While his younger brother was downstairs, consumed by anxiety, he, on the other hand, remained
perfectlyposed and content.
Eunice followed the blueprint that Aisley had provided and navigated her way through the research
base.
Wherever she went, she skillfully incapacitated all the bodyguards hiding in the shadows.
As she walked past a corner, heading towards the end of the hallway, she suddenly sensed something
was off and stopped dead in her tracks.
Astonished, she whipped out a jade stone from her pocket.
When she saw a milky white halo flickering on it, she felt as if she was struck by lightning, and her
expression changed drastically.
The jade stone is glowing? That means the parasite king isn''t dead yet. If that''s the case, the vector is
alive too. In other words, I''ve fallen into her trap. How dare you deceive me, Aisley! I''m going to kill you!
After cursing in her heart, Eunice quickly turned around, wanting to backtrack and retreat, realizing that
she was not a match for Catherine.
If that illegitimate child had survived, and Catherine''s mental state was stable, I would undoubtedly be
facing my death today. The only way for me to stay alive is to run!
Just as she was about to turn and head back to the lush garden, a crisp voice sounded from behind
her. “Why are you running away, Eunice? Weren''t you trying to seize the inheritance from me? If you
kill me today, you''ll finally get what you''ve always wanted.”
Eunice''s body shivered, causing her toe to a sudden stop.
As she looked up, she saw Catherine standing amidst the flowers, donned in a vintage long dress.
That woman doesn''t need to do anything. As she stands there casually, she exudes an aura of
elegance, nobility, and dominance, as if she was born to be a leader.
Catherine was everyone''s favorite. If she hadn''t be pregnant back then and given birth to a child
of foreign lineage, she would have assumed the position of the head of the family long ago.
Conversely, Eunice was destined to be nothing more than a backdrop, existing only toplement
Catherine.
“You tricked me.”
Catherine looked at her coldly. A hint of contempt shed in her eyes.
“Greed has no limits. You''ve brought this upon yourself. Since you''re here, let''s settle this once and for
all today.”
