Chapter 156

After Veronique made the announcement, the king of Eskaria also published an announcement on hissocial media platform. He confirmed Veronique's claim and told the world that Anonymous was the onewho had performed the craniotomy on him.

According to him, he had never told the public about it because Anonymous wasn't motivated bymoney and fame. Also, she didn't want to attract people's attention. In order to grant her wish, the royalfamily of Eskaria didn't make any clarification when the others claimed that Veronique was the one whohad performed the surgery.

Before he ended his announcement, he had apologized to the world for telling a white lie.

Since the king of Eskaria and Veronique made the announcements one after another, it was veryconvincing.

However, the netizens were puzzled as to why these two individuals had suddenly made suchannouncements.

Didn't they say Anonymous doesn't like the spotlight? What they're doing now is the exact opposite ofwhat they had agreed to do back then, no?

In the visiting room, Veronique told Bailey about what was happening.

“Bay, I'm sorry. I've taken the initiative and exposed the truth about what happened three years ago.After I made the announcement, the king of Eskaria contacted me. When he found out you were introuble, he also told the public that Anonymous had performed the craniotomy on him back then.”

Bailey couldn't help but laugh. She then sighed and held her forehead helplessly. “I just wanted apeaceful life as a commoner. Is that too much to ask for? Since I was known as Snowflake, my life hasbeen so difficult. Now that my identity as Anonymous has been exposed, I dare not to imagine what mylife will be like in the future.”

Veronique snickered and joked, “Well, it seems like God doesn't want you to lead a carefree life! Justaccept your fate, okay? I've already contacted Juliana and told her to bring your medical certificateshere. Tomorrow, tell the authorities everything and get out of this place. This is not a place a big shotlike you should be at.”

Bailey laughed and shook her head. “Is there no other way? I really don't want to be known to thepublic as Anonymous. I'm a doctor, and my mission is to save people. I don't want it to be something Ibrag about. Besides, I don't want to use the name of Anonymous to gain fame again.”

Veronique reached out her hand to hold Bailey's hand. In a helpless tone, she said, “Mrs. Luther israther relentless. Even Artemis is planning on sitting idly and enjoying the show. It doesn't seem likehe's bothered by how you're going to embarrass his mother. Since that's the case, why should youkeep treating that old woman with respect? If anything, I think you should just give her a slap in theface so that she won't dare to act all arrogant as she is now.”

Upon hearing that, Bailey lazed on the desk and smiled wryly. “You're right. She's not going to let mego. Besides exposing my identity as Anonymous, I don't think there's anything else I can do. The thingis, Old Mr. Chivers needs medical attention as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would've just stayed herefor a while and kept Mrs. Luther happy for a few more days. No matter what, she's still Zayron andSusan's grandma.”

Veronique pursed her lips and snickered silently.

It seems like no matter what, evil still triumphs over good. When she was abroad, no one couldmanage to force her to expose her hidden identities. But after she is back in Hallsbay, theunreasonable woman in the Luther family has managed to corner her. I guess only Mrs. Luther, in thewhole of Hallsbay, is able to do that.

Meanwhile, two men were sitting on a couch in a mansion in the suburbs. One of the men was in hisforties, and the other man was in his early twenties.

The younger man looked at the older man and hesitated for a while before asking, “Master, how didyou come to such a conclusion?”

Cadence swirled the wine in his wineglass and answered slowly, “When I bumped into Ms. Bailey a fewdays ago, I felt as if I've met her before. In fact, she looked rather familiar. However, I couldn't recallwho she was. Judging from what Veronique and the king of Eskaria did today, Anonymous must'velanded in hot water, and they're trying to help her out of her predicament by bringing up her pastcontributions. Coincidentally, Ms. Bailey was sent to jail today. Could there be such a coincidence?”

The younger man was dumbstruck.

Cadence finished the wine in his wineglass and uttered firmly, “Bailey is Anonymous, and Anonymousis Bailey. Anonymous is the only person who is brave enough to say that there's a fifty percent chanceof removing a tumor attached to the central nervous system.”

Upon saying that, he tightened his grip and broke the glass in his hand.

“Ha! What a small world. If it had not been for her, I would've been the person who inherited Cataleya'sskillsets, and I would've become a renowned figure in the medical field. That woman crushed my hopeof rising to the top. I've been yearning for a chance for revenge. Finally, I can do that,” Cadence said.

The younger man frowned and asked, “What are you planning to do, Master? Edmund and Artemis areprotecting Ms. Bailey. If you try to harm her, you won't stand a chance. We should remain patient andwait for the right opportunity, no?”

“The right opportunity?” Cadence smiled. “This is the perfect opportunity. What do you think will happento her if she screws up Old Mr. Chivers' operation? What if Old Mr. Chivers dies on the operating table?Do you have any idea what will happen to her?”

“Now, everyone is paying close attention to Old Mr. Chivers' condition. If something goes wrong duringthe surgery and Old Mr. Chivers dies, her reputation in the medical field will be ruined. However,Master, it's so hard to infiltrate the Chivers family's infirmary.”

Cadence's eyes were filled with murderous intent when he replied casually, “Bailey is surely going to bethe one who's operating on Old Mr. Chivers. If she succeeds, who do you think will be on the losingend?”

“Are you saying that...”

“Since we have such a good pawn in our hands, why don't we use it to our full advantage?”

The younger man went silent.

The next day, the police gave all the information regarding Bailey's alleged involvement in the illegal

medical procedure to the court.

The court wasn't keen on taking up the case because there were too many rumors going around thecase. Hence, no one could tell what was truly hidden beneath. Indeed, it was a tricky case.

However, the plaintiff was the matriarch of the Luther family, so no one could turn it down.

When the media learned that the police had handed over the case to the court, the content of thepublished newspapers and magazines became more and more absurd and presumptuous. Althoughthe court hadn't given a verdict yet, they all believed that was the end of Bailey. That beliefsubsequently influenced the public's opinion.

Hence, many were quick to label Bailey as arrogant, greedy, and insolent.

At the same time, Felicity was secretly manipulating the situation. She had instructed the court tosentence Bailey to several years in prison.

Since the court had enough evidence, they had gone along with Felicity's recommendation.

However, right when everyone was waiting to see Bailey getting sent to jail, the royal family of Eskariamade another announcement. They declared that when Bailey operated on the king of Eskaria threeyears ago, she was known as Anonymous. At that time, she had revealed the required medicaldocuments before performing the operation on the king of Eskaria.

Upon receiving the news, all people shared the same thought. Bailey? Anonymous? Bailey was knownas Anonymous? W-What does that mean?
