Chapter 813

“No.” Bailey answered straightforwardly. Artemis could not help but laugh.

“You're being cheeky again, but there's nothing I can do about it. As long as you know in your heart,there's no need to expose the truth.”

Bailey glared at him fiercely. Artemis was right. Bailey played dirty. If the roles were reversed andArtemis was the one going to the date, Bailey would also replace a way to stop him.

She also had suicide attackers, specifically for carrying out secret missions. Bailey was stubbornbefore, but now she had come to terms with it and felt that it was acceptable.

“Well, so, did you bring back the enhancer?”

Artemis nodded and said, “I've brought it back. It's in the laboratory now.”

Bailey paced toward the door and said, “Cameron left the prescription, I'll go prepare the antidote rightaway. Julie can't wait any longer.”

“Wait.” Artemis hurriedly reached out to stop Bailey.

“Zeke said he can't guarantee that there are no spies from the Hoffman family in this base. Now, bothSofie and Philip believe that you have died from Kurt's poison. If you show up, wouldn't it be blatantlyrevealing that you've escaped cunningly?” Bailey suddenly came back to her senses.

“You're right. I can't show my real face to others. How about changing my face? Where's my disguisebox?”

Artemis reached out and pinched her nose, laughing, “Knowing the disguise skill is awesome, you canchange face whenever you want.”

Bailey glared at him fiercely, gritting her teeth, and said, “If you dare to make me angry again next time,I'll run away. Then, I'll disguise myself, changing my face every day. Even if you turn the whole worldupside down, you won't be able to replace me.”

Artemis raised his eyebrows and smiled.

“That's not necessarily true. If I were to create an accident and injure myself, falling into a coma for afew days, you would definitely rush back anxiously.”

Upon hearing those words, Bailey was so upset that she burst into tears.

“You're a bad man...”

After bringing the fake Bailey back to the winery, Tucker tied her to the bed.

“You're awake?” Seeing the person he had been thinking about day and night slowly opening her eyes,Tucker rubbed his hands together excitedly.

What should he do next? Of course, it was about doing something wonderful with her. Tucker had beenwaiting for so many years, just longing for this day to come.

Now that he finally got what he wished for, would not he want to spend three days and nights in the

tender embrace of his beloved?

Coldly glaring at him, the fake Bailey sneered, “Only the dead pose no threat to people. You actuallyspared my life. The reality will show you just how foolish you are.”

Tucker laughed out loud. He walked over and gently patted her cheek, saying excitedly, “You know, Ireally like your cool and indifferent demeanor. I wonder if you'll show a different charm once you likeme.”

The fake Bailey turned her face away, remaining silent without speaking. Upon seeing her seeminglyunapproachable demeanor, Tucker became even more excited and his blood boiling with enthusiasm.

“You know, it's your proud and aloof demeanor that has conquered countless elites, driving them madfor you. Now, many people are eager to catch you and take you back, to lock you up at home for agood view and... taste you.”

The fake Bailey said coldly, “Once you fall into the hands of a dog, you can only bear the pain as itbites you viciously. Julie is your cousin after all. Aren't you afraid that the ancestors of the Hoffmanfamily will jump out of their coffins and come after you for treating her like this?”

“Hahaha!” Tucker laughed heartily three times.

“I never believe in any ghostly or divine tales, but your description of a dog is quite fitting. Since you'vecompared me to a dog, I can only bite a chunk of flesh off you, so you can experience the feeling ofbeing bitten by a dog.”

After saying that, Tucker lunged directly toward her.

The expression in the fake Bailey's eyes gradually changed, revealing helplessness, sorrow, anddespair. In the end, all these emotions transformed into a fearless acceptance of death, without anyregrets.

For that man who seemed like a god, she was willing to devote everything she had. Her life was givento her by him, and now he pushed her toward the boundless abyss, yet she gladly accepted.

She asked for nothing more, only praying that God would show her mercy and grant her a chance tospeak with him. Once she saw him, she must tell him, “Leader, my name is Cindy Graham.”

It did not matter if she was not in his eyes or his heart, she just wanted him to remember her name andknow that once there was a woman who was willing to devote her entire life to him. Pain washed overher, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Leader, I have completed the task you assigned to me. I sacrificed my own life to ensure the happinessof you and the girl you love.

A teardrop rolled down from the corner of Cindy's eye, disappearing between her temples, leaving notrace behind.

Just as she had walked through this world, yet no one knew of her existence. Cindy was nothing morethan a pawn to be sacrificed. Laboratory. Bailey was in the middle of testing the blood sample.

Suddenly, her face turned pale. Artemis was assisting her and, seeing her like this, he quickly asked,“What's wrong?

Is there a problem with the blood sample? It shouldn't be like this. I arranged the person myself.

She saw Kurt take a blood sample from the arm with a syringe right before her eyes.

Once she got the blood sample, she immediately brought it back without anyone else handling it inbetween, so there's no chance of it being tampered with.”

Bailey slammed her hand hard on the table, gritting her teeth.

“There's no issue with the blood, nor with the person. The problem is the syringe used to store theblood. Kurt the jerk had poisoned the syringe, so when the blood was drawn, it naturally becamecontaminated with the toxin. If this blood was used as an enhancer, Julie would die on the spot.”

Kurt had done such dirty work.

“Can't you neutralize this poison?” Bailey could not help but laugh, “Only Cameron and I can neutralizethis poison. Cameron has returned to the Yablon residence. If the poison is cured, it proves that I amthe one who did it. Do you know what this means? It means telling Kurt that I didn't go to the date, andthey captured a decoy instead.” Artemis furrowed.

“So Kurt is testing you. He wants to verify if who he caught is the real Bailey.”

“That's right. It seems this man is not as simple as he appears on the surface. He's much stronger thanhis older brother.”

Artemis patted Bailey’s back gently and asked, “So, what do you plan to do? If you don't neutralize it,

you won't be able to use this enhancer. Without the enhancer, how will you prepare the antidote?”

Bailey slumped into the chair, saying, “This problem has no solution. I'll contact Cameron later to seewhen he can come back.”

Suburb. Private mansion. Sofie leaned back on the sofa, squinting her eyes as she watched Kurt sittingacross from her.

“Did Bailey really die?”

Kurt nodded and said, “I'm not sure, because her death is too easy and might not be that simple.However, don't worry. I've poisoned the enhancer they've retrieved. The poison can only be neutralizedby Cameron and Bailey. Since Cameron isn't here now, if the poison in the enhancer is neutralized andthe antidote is successfully formulated, it would prove that Bailey is still alive.” Sofie chuckled softly.

“You're much more cautious than Tucker. Keep up the good work, and I'll make you the top poison-crafting expert in Tarragon, ensuring your safety for a lifetime.”

“Thank you, Ms. Carr. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now.”

“Wait a moment,” Sofie hurriedly spoke up, “Go upstairs and meet my daughter. She has prepared asurprise for you.”
