Chapter 296

With the entire Tarragon's forces under Micah's control, he could discover Shannon's whereaboutsthrough her.

“Veikko, what's up? Did something happen to Shannon?”

“No.” A clear word was heard from the phone. “The Saviors received a mission a while ago. They paida considerable sum of money for us to assassinate two people.”

Bailey was surprised.

Usually, Veikko wouldn't inform me of such matters. He has the right to make his own decision withinthe Saviors unless the assassination is somehow related to me.

“Does the employer have something to do with me?”

“On the contrary, it's the targets of our assassination.”

Bailey was stunned for a moment.

The assassination targets?

“Who did they want you to kill?”

“Veronique and her son.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes. “Are you sure? Am I hearing you correctly?”

“I'm positive. The employer contacted me and wanted me to do the deed. The targets were indeed Ms.Veronique and Zephyr.”

“Ha.” Bailey smirked. “This is getting interesting. Vero and Zephyr are doctors hired by the Saviors. It'sweird that they wanted us to assassinate them. So tell me, who's the employer?”

Veikko replied solemnly, “I've instructed someone to replace out. The employer is the bodyguard of Ms.Scarlett Fletcher from the Fletcher family.”

Bailey squeezed the phone in her hand, and her eyes turned cold.

Why does Scarlett want the Saviors to assassinate Vero? Is it because Vero once had a crush onJustin? No, that's not enough to make Scarlett take such a huge risk. Then there is only one possibility.Scarlet has already found out about Zephyr's identity, and she wants to eliminate every possible factorthat could hinder her marriage.

“Veikko, listen to me. Take a recording the next time you negotiate with him. Using the professionalprotocol as a cover to get their fingerprints would be best. I need it, very much.”

Veikko agreed without question.

Bailey deliberated for a moment and asked, “How is Shannon?”

“She's doing pretty well, living her mundane life. However, a local young man seemed interested in her,and they chatted a few times. She showed her broken arm to him, but he didn't seem surprised. He

even comforted her repeatedly.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes and said calmly, “Find out who he is. If he has any ulterior motives, kill him. Idon't want any potential danger around her.”

“Got it.”

After hanging up the phone, Bailey tossed her phone on the coffee table and continued to read thenews on her laptop.

After spending tens of billions sponsoring the Oscars, the people at the Oscars unanimously decided tomove this year's ceremony to Hallsbay. Obviously, he wants the people in charge of the Oscars to holdthe ceremony in Hallsbay by using money. Who came up with this stupid idea? It must be Susan.

At that thought, she shut her laptop with a snap, stood up, and walked outside.

As soon as she reached the door, she bumped into Artemis, who was walking in.

Since she was heading toward him, he willingly opened his arms to embrace her. When she finally fellinto his embrace, he wrapped his arms around her waist, turned around, and pushed her against thewall.

“Where are you going in such a bad mood?”

Bailey reached out to grab his collar. Then, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Did you sponsor theOscars because Susan was making a fuss?”

Artemis chuckled and caressed her cheek. “Both of you are important to me. If I can move the GrandFashion Show to Hallsbay for you, I can also move the Oscars here. Don't be mad. You'll scare thechild.”

Bailey's eyes instantly reflected her mixed emotions.

She could feel his sincerity, but it was too overwhelming for her. She couldn't bear it, and neither couldSusan.

He's splurging money because of a few words from Susan. Just how much does he love me to dosomething this idiotic?

“Artemis, do I really deserve such treatment?”

Suddenly, the sensation of a domineering kiss overwhelmed her.

Is she still questioning my feelings for her? Do I have to sleep with her for her to trust me completely?

“Mmm...”

Struggling to no avail, Bailey stopped resisting. After he had his way for a few minutes, she finallyleaned on his chest, panting.

She was beginning to feel addicted to his invigorating kisses. She seemed to have gotten used to hisimpulsive kisses. In those moments of weakness, she felt a hint of sweetness. While she resisted it,she also felt a sense of anticipation.

Artemis rubbed her soft red lips with his fingertip, whispered something in her ear, and led her to thecouch.

“I'm a little confused about the codes you didn't compile this morning. Come on. Let's try it again andsee if we can break through.”

Victoria knelt on the floor in the bedroom of the Saunders residence.

“If you turn yourself in, it only means I'm incompetent. What's the point of an incompetent person livingin this world?”

Vincent was lounging on the couch with an IV drip attached to the back of his hand. His face appearedto be wearier compared to two days ago.

He tilted his head to look at Victoria, who was kneeling on the ground, and he sighed. “My hands werenever clean, to begin with. I'm fine with going to prison. Be good. Start a new life and stop worryingabout me.”

Victoria slowly raised her gaze and looked at her terminally ill father on the couch. A glint ofdetermination shone in her eyes as if she had made up her mind.

“Over the years, I've hated and resented. I've always wanted to return everything I owed to theGezmond family to Lionel, even if it meant making Saunders Group bankrupt. Now that the company'sownership has changed, I have already paid back what I owe. It would be unfilial of me to watch myterminally ill father go to prison. There's a place for everyone in this world but none for the unfilial. Ifyou genuinely love me, you should stay at home. Otherwise, I can only accompany you to jail.”

As she finished, she slowly bent over and bowed at Vincent. Then, she stood up and walked toward thedoor.

Devastated, Vincent shed tears as he looked at Victoria's determined figure.

He knew there would be no turning back after Victoria stepped out of the house that day.

Moreover, if he insisted on turning himself in, she would definitely confess that she was illegallyembezzling public funds and go to prison with him.

No matter what he chose, he couldn't save his daughter.

“Victoria, I have failed you.”

Victoria stopped in her tracks, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. After a brief moment of silence,she left the room without looking back.

At the arrival gate of Hallsbay International Airport.

A stylishly dressed lady was walking among the crowd while holding the hand of a little girl about six toseven years old.

The two wore sunglasses, concealing most of their faces.

Many reporters gathered in the crowd as if looking for someone.

The little girl, led by the lady, whispered, “You have to watch my back. If these paparazzi catch us, wewon't be leaving the airport today.”
