Chapter 805

Veikko paused in his footsteps and turned to look at her.

“Do you have something else to say?” he asked.

Bailey furrowed her brows and asked, “You've completely fallen out with Shaun. How do you plan todeal with him?”

Veikko smiled coldly and said lightly, “The current him is like a madman. Let him go crazy, let him bitehis friends and family around him. It's easy to die. We can gather a group of people and storm hisplace, ending him. But I don't want to do it that way. I want to let him live a life worse than death.”Bailey nodded.

“That works too. Let's put aside that jerk now and focus on dealing with Sofie and Mr. Philip. Youshould go back and reorganize the forces of the Saviors. Lock up Mindy in the Prudent Hall and see hisreaction. If he doesn't give up easily, create some evidence of his misconduct, remove him from hisposition, and let you temporarily take the position of Mr. Xydias. We're all in Moranta now, and I can'ttrust others with matters of life and death. It's better to have someone from within our ranks in control.”

Veikko nodded.

“I understand. Be careful, and I'll head back first. Contact me directly if you need anything.”

“Okay.” After watching Veikko leave, Bailey turned back to look at Caridee on the bed and sighedsilently.

She was such a good girl, and now she had been reduced to this state. It was truly heartbreaking.

Suburban mansion. Inside the infirmary. Shaun leaned against the bedside and swiped everything offthe nightstand.

“That useless Tucker couldn't even capture a woman. What use is he to me?”

The bodyguards kept their distance, allowing him to vent his anger.

At this critical moment, anyone who approached him was asking for death.

“Mr. Carter, Ms. Lindsey has arrived.”

“I don't want to see her. Tell her-” Before he could finish his sentence, he immediately held back hiswords.

Lindsey?

He remembered Lindsey had a crush on Edmund, so she had gotten close to Bailey. Now that Carideewas by Bailey's side, perhaps he could use her to infiltrate Bailey's residence and lure Caridee out.

“Let her in.”

After a moment, Lindsey rushed in from outside.

“Shaun, are you okay? They said you-”

Shaun coldly stared at her.

“They said what about me?” Lindsey became fearful of her elder brother and quickly shook her head.

“Nothing, nothing. Now that I see you're fine, I feel relieved.”

Shaun asked in a cold and eerie tone, “Weren't you chasing after a man in Hallsbay? Why did youcome to Moranta?”

At the mention of this, Lindsey's expression gradually darkened.

“He doesn't like me.”

Shaun gave a disdainful snort and spoke in a menacing tone, “That's because the person he longs foris still alive. If that woman in his heart were to die, I assure you he would gradually accept you.”

A glimmer of hope flashed in Lindsey's eyes.

That's right, once that woman is no longer around, he will eventually move on and consider acceptingme. But he loves Bailey. If Bailey were so easily disposed of, she would have perished countless timesalready, considering the number of people who have targeted her.

“Shaun, I can't compete with Bailey.”

“Have you even tried? You won't know if you can't surpass her until you make an effort. Now thatArtemis is gone and has lost her will to live, you can be by her side, waiting for the right moment tostrike a fatal blow. Once she's no more...”

Lindsey remained silent.

“That's all I have to say. Whether you want to fight for it or not is up to you. If Edmund still has feelingsfor you, it will be easier for me to propose a marriage alliance on behalf of the Carter family. But if hedoesn't have you in his heart, no matter what I say, it will be in vain. The only way to make him open hisheart to you is by eliminating Bailey from his life.”

Lindsey lowered her head, her voice trembling as she replied, “I... I'll consider it and give my answer toyou in a few days.”

Shaun lazily leaned against the bedside, instructing the guard at the door, “Ms. Lindsey has been on along flight. She must be tired. Take her to rest.”

“Yes.”

Once the guard escorted Lindsey away, Shaun turned to the person dressed in black beside him.

He commanded, “Arrange a few housekeeper to provoke her in Bailey's presence, fueling herdiscontent and turning it into hatred. Push her to become enemies with Bailey.”

“Understood.”

At the Saviors branch. Inside the study. Veikko lounged on the sofa, raising an eyebrow as he observedTravis standing in the center of the room.

He smirked and spoke calmly, “Mr. Xydias, did you come here to look for someone?”

“No, no, no,” Mr. Xydias quickly denied.

“Mindy acted recklessly and conspired with outsiders, almost causing a major disaster. Your decision tospare her life was already a great mercy. I would never question your judgment. Allowing her to visit thePrudent Hall will serve as a lesson. I believe Mr. Veikko will show mercy to a subordinate like me, andwon't take the life of my only daughter. I will faithfully serve you in the future to repay your kindness.”

Shaun couldn't help but inwardly sneer.

This cunning fox knew how to flatter. It wouldn't be righteous to kill his daughter.

“Very well. Mindy has been trained since childhood and should be able to avoid severe punishment. Iwon't subject her to additional torment.”

Travis wiped the sweat from his forehead and hastily replied, “Thank you for your mercy, Mr. Veikko.Rest assured, such incidents will never happen again in the future.”

Veikko lightly tapped the sofa's armrest and declared, “Starting today, I will temporarily oversee allbranch matters.” Travis widened his eyes, looking at Veikko with astonishment.

“Mr. Veikko, this...”

“Mr. Xydias, no need to worry. It's only temporary. Once my affairs are resolved, I will return the branchto your management. There's no need to be so anxious.”

Upon hearing this, Travis breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, “Yes, yes, understood. I will followMr. Veikko's arrangements.”

Bailey received an anonymous message inviting her to meet outside the city. The message stated thatthey had prepared something she desired. Although the message didn't bear a signature, Bailey wascertain it came from Kurt.

Has he lost his composure so quickly?

She thought she would at least have to wait a few days, but she didn't expect to be contacted so soon.Inside the study.

Bailey spread the message on the table and stated firmly, “I must attend this appointment. They've seta trap for me, forcing me to jump into it. If I don't jump, Juliana will be of no value to them. A chesspiece with no value can be discarded at any time. In other words, if I don't go to the appointment,Juliana will undoubtedly die because Kurt won't keep her hanging by the thread of drugs anymore.”

Zeke and Artemis exchanged a glance.

“What do you think?”

Zeke asked. Artemis rubbed his forehead and sighed, “Since she has decided to go, what else can wedo? We'll accompany her through the trials and tribulations. Should we let her face it alone?”

Zeke frowned, “But Cameron is not here. There was an issue in his family, so he left early. Beforeleaving, he repeatedly entrusted me to stop Bay from meeting Kurt because she can't outplay him inthe game of poisons.”
