Chapter 1067
Chapter 1067 Fallen Into The Web Of Love
The following day, Zara made a trip to the Bureau of Intangible Cultural Heritage, where she spent half
an hour chatting with the senior executives.
She appeared cold and calm as she walked out. Her heart, which had been somewhat wavering, had
now turned firm and resolute.
Bailey is right. I must never let anyone bully the Yrina family. The Strasson family is in cahoots with the
organizers and marginalizing the Yrina family, ready to kick us out anytime. Since that''s the case, all
the more I must win thispetition.
After Zara''s departure, the in charge of the Bureau of Intangible Cultural Heritage called the daughter
of the Strasson family, Mnie, informing her about the Yrina family''s intention to send Zara to the
In a coffee shop on the corner of the street, Mnie sat inside a private room, casually fidgeting with
her cup of tea as she indifferently remarked, “Zara. They''ve actually sent out Zara. It seems like they
still refuse to let things be.”
In the Yrina family, Zara''s embroidery skills were only second to Yrinasion Muse. Though not extremely
powerful, she was still not someone to be trifled with.
“How many of them arrive in Hallsbay? Is it just Zara alone?”
“I''m not sure about that. Whatever it is, I know she came to the Bureau of Intangible Cultural Heritage
alone just now. No one apanied her.”
Knitting her brows, Mnie tossed the teaspoon in her grip and coldly uttered, “Go investigate, then.
Dig out every detail about Zara''s background.”
“Understood.”

After ending the call, Mnie swept the stuff off the table. A chilling, murderous intent gleamed in her
eyes.
I thought the Yrina family would back off on their own and give up on thepetition this time. But who
knows? They actually epted the invitation and even deployed an expert like Zara. I might not
necessarily be a match for Zara. After all, Yrinasion embroidery is more influential in the outside world.
I might possibly lose this time.
Crack.
The doorknob turned, and instinctively, Mnie looked up.
Karina walked in with a crossbody bag. “You came really early, Mnie. I''m notte, am I?” she said
with a smile.
Mnie nced at her indifferently and retracted her gaze. Then, she picked up the teaspoon and
continued sipping on her tea.
“No. I''m the one who came early. But even if you werete, it wouldn''t matter. After all, I was the one
who stood you up and made you wait for half an hourst night because something came upst
minute.”
Karina calmly walked over and sat down opposite Mnie. “You''re too kind, Mnie. It doesn''t matter
whether we metst night or today; it''s all the same. I wonder if anything''s the matter that you''d ask me
out?”
Mnie froze abruptly, recalling the phone call from earlier.
With Zara''s participation in thepetition, my chances of winning will be greatly lowered. If I want to
turn the tide, I''m afraid my best bet is to shift my focus to Bailey. After all, the purpose of the
able to rest easy.
“I believe you''ve heard of the Strasson family''s predicament from Aunt Isabelle, didn''t you? Karina, you
have to help me win over Bailey. Our sess or failure now hinges on a single thought from her.”
Karina did not ept or reject Mnie''s request. Instead, she reminded thetter, “I only had a few
encounters with Bailey. I wouldn''t say I know her well. It''ll be a challenge to win her over. But if you
have any good ideas, Mnie, I don''t mind trying it out. After all, I''ve wanted to get on good terms with
Bailey.”
A scowl marred Mnie''s countenance. In truth, her knowledge of Bailey was limited. All she knew was
how thetter was a formidable woman. Why would I have to call her over if I have a solution?
“Karina, I''m asking you to help me out now, not the other way round. You have to solve it yourself if you
face any problems. All I want from you is results.”
“Then let''s take a detour and try to please Mrs. Shurmer. She loves wearing gowns. All the embroidery
on her gowns is done by the Strasson family''s embroiderers, so much so that she thought of them first
when making a wedding gown for her daughter. Compared to Zara, you have an advantage because
Mrs. Shurmer has acknowledged you.”
Mnie was stunned.
She hadpletely forgotten about that matter.
Right. Mrs. Shurmer has had quite a number of gowns tailor-made at Strassonian Embroidery Studio
all these years. She''s very pleased with our studio. If I can win over Mrs. Shurmer, then it wouldn''t be a
problem winning over Bailey.
“You sure are smart and dexterous, aren''t you? No wonder Sylvester is being yed around like a fool
by you, and Rainie also ends up in a terrible plight. Karina, you better control yourself. Don''t use such
despicable tactics on me, or else I''ll make sure there''s no peace andfort ahead of you.”
After saying that, Mnie slowly stood up, grabbed her handbag from the table, and strode toward the
door.
However, just as she reached the door, she spotted Karina still sitting on the couch. A look of
displeasure crossed her face. “Why are you still sitting there in a daze? Hurry and follow behind me.
Let''s go visit Mrs. Shurmer together.”
...
Meanwhile, inside a room in the Shurmer residence, Bailey was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling
window, answering a phone call. It was from Cameron.
“Jefferson, what on earth have you given me? It not only took me to a tropical rainforest, but it also
lurked in the bushes all day. Don''t tell me ze is hiding in the primeval forest?”
Bailey furrowed her brows. Tropical rainforest? Lurked in the bushes? D*mn... Why does this sound so
strange? There''s no way ze is hiding in the forest. I guess the goshawk I gave Cameron must''ve got
an issue.
“Take a picture and send it to me. I''ll have a look at it.”
A momentter, Cameron sent over an animated image, presumably taken from his private jet. There
were clouds of swirling mist everywhere, with a vague silhouette of a goshawk circling above a dense
forest.
Those goshawks were trained by Bailey, so naturally, she knew them very well.
Now that she saw the sight of the goshawk pping its wings excitedly, the corners of her lips could not
help but twitch uncontrobly.
How could I forget? It''s spring now, the season of proliferation.
Goshawks mostly originated from tropical rainforests. When they returned to their homnd and
encountered another goshawk that met their eyes, they wouldpletely let themselves go.
So, even she couldn''t summon a goshawk that had fallen into the web of love.
“Um... I''ll have someone send you another one. It might have found a wife for itself and doesn''t want to
fly anymore.”
Cameron''s face grew as dark as thunder.
So, I haven''t even found myself a wife, but that goshawk has already beat me to it? F*ck!
“I''ll shoot it dead on the spot!”
This is so infuriating!
Suppressing her urge tough, Bailey reassured, “Please don''t. I''m still relying on it to bring me a
clutch of hatchlings. Cameron, where do you think ze will go? If you two truly love each other, even
without a goshawk to lead the way, you''ll still be able to find her in the vast sea of people. I''m now
somewhat relieved I didn''t teach her the disguise skill. Otherwise, you might never be able to find her in
your lifetime.”
The phone screen reflected Cameron''s cold expression.
“She''s stubborn. Her departure from me was as relentless and persistent as her pursuit of me all these
years. I have no idea where she''s gone. I''ve paid too little attention to her all these years. Every time I
think of it, my heart aches unbearably. This is probably the retribution the heavens have given me.”
After some thought, Bailey suggested, “How about you resort to extreme measures, then? Artemis is in
Zaewora. You should go and meet up with him. If you get into a dangerous situation, I''m sure ze
won''t just stand by and do nothing.”
This is what we call a strategic retreat to advance further.
Cameron snorted icily. “You''re trying to trick me into helping your man, aren''t you?”
