Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 824

Chapter 824 Reckless

Sofie's strength was immense. As such, Wendy's face was directly slapped askew by her.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Wendy's gaze fell back onto the LCD screen.

Through the icy glass, she vaguely saw the chilling, murderous intent swirling in Holden's eyes.

Holden was once the object of Wendy's deep affection. Even then, she found it impossible to let him

go.

For his sake, she was willing to stand against her entire family. For him, she deeply hurt her father's

heart.

Even though she had been on the run for a while now, it still didn't change the fact that she deeply

loved him.

At that moment, she was in a perilous situation, and he was tempted to act. Regardless of the reasons,

he was moved.

His hesitation and indecision resulted in him being controlled by Sofie.

Wendy didn't want to see a man like him being manipulated by a woman, so she said, “I'll say it again.

My affairs have nothing to do with you. I don't need your insincere attempts to save me. Even if it

means death, I don't want to have any involvement with you.”

Sofie raised her arm again, fiercely slapping Wendy on the face twice. The crisp slaps echoed in the

air.

On the screen, Holden was gripping the wineglass so tightly that his fingernails turned into a shade of

pale gray.

With a smile, Sofie stared at him, observing every nuance of his expression. Seeing his continued

indifference, she couldn't help but laugh. “It seems you really intend on giving her up, Mr. Lewitt. Fine

then. I won't keep someone who's of no use to me. I'll throw her into the nightclub and let her

experience what it's like to be ravaged by thousands. Tarragon is now disorganized, and I don't

necessarily need your cooperation to take it down, Mr. Lewitt. At most, it will just require a bit more

effort. I pity your son. I fear he's about to lose his mother. When the day comes that he learns you

stood by and did nothing while his mother was dying, he'll probably despise you.”

After ending her sentence, she turned to look at the black-clad bodyguards on both sides. With a cold

voice, she commanded, “The woman Mr. Lewitt played with before must be pretty good. You two are in

luck today. Take her away and teach her a lesson. Let her gain some more experience in pleasuring

men.”

The two bodyguards rubbed their hands together with a hint of excitement in their eyes as they reached

for Wendy's shoulder.

Instinctively, Wendy wanted to step back but found herself immobilized as two bodyguards gripped her

shoulders.

“Drag her away.” Sofie waved her hand.

The two bodyguards were just about to take action when Holden spoke up. “Give me two days to think

about it.”

Sofie's red lips curved upward.

Since ancient times, men had difficulty resisting the charm of a beautiful woman.

My bet paid off. If I forcefully invade Tarragon's headquarters, I will lose a lot of men. However, if

Holden is willing to cooperate with me, I can maximize my return with minimal loss. Sofie stated, “A

wise man submits to circumstances, Mr. Lewitt. You are indeed an adaptable, renowned international

figure. I will give you two days. If you cannot give me an answer after two days, I'll be compelled to vent

my anger on your woman. If it happens, it won't be as simple as having her pleasure two men. I'll

arrange for twenty men to take good care of her.”

“All right, then. You better keep a close eye on your dogs and don't let them do whatever they want

during these two days. If she suffers even just a little, I will use the entire force of Tarragon to bring you

down.” After speaking, he immediately cut the feed.

Sofie gave a cold smile, gently patting Wendy's cheek. She teased, “You've got good taste, young lady.

You're lucky to have fallen for Holden because he is a man who values love and loyalty.”

Wendy turned her face away, biting her lip hard to stop the tears welling in her eyes from falling.

“Treat her well with good food and drink. Remember, keep your lust in check, and don't cause her any

harm. If you disrupt my plans, I'll make your lives a living hell.”

“Understood!” replied the bodyguards.

Inside the base laboratory, Blaze leaned lazily against the apparatus, idly fiddling with a glass

container. She said in a leisurely manner, “I've done my part. Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise.

Bailey, you better not fool me, or I'll definitely leak the news of your survival. Don't think this base can

hold me back. If I want to leave, no one can stop me.”

Bailey raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Of course. Your reputation as the Poison Lady isn't just for

show. I'm well aware of your methods. Don't worry. I'll definitely fulfill what I've promised you. However,

Cameron is not in Moranta at the moment, so I can't set you two up with each other even if I want to.

Once he returns in a few days, I'll figure out how to help you win him over. I sincerely hope that you two

can be together.”

Blaze waved her hand, turning toward the door to leave. As she walked, she said, “I haven't rested for

a few days. I'm going to catch up on some sleep. If you have something to discuss, wait until after I

wake up. Don't disturb me, or I'll get up on the wrong side of the bed. If someone wakes me up, I might

do something rash.”

After watching Blaze leave, Bailey turned her head to look at Artemis, who was standing at the side.

Then, she asked, “What is Tarragon headquarters planning to do? Has Sofie taken any action?”

Artemis handed her the communicator in his hand. “Holden just sent this over. Take a look.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Bailey reached out to take it. After watching it, she immediately burst into laughter. “This is reckless!

Are they planning to catch her after letting Holden collude with her and allowing her to infiltrate

Tarragon Headquarters?”

Artemis reached out and gently pinched her nose, chuckling lightly. “You just need to give the green

light. I have a lot of social connections. We'll do as you plan.”

Bailey glared at him, making it seem as if he hadn't even considered that aspect.

“Stop messing around and be serious. If we must employ this strategy, we can only do it when all of

Sofie's people are gathered together. Do you think Sofie will gather all her forces to attack Tarragon

Headquarters? What if she holds back and only sends half of her people? Then I'll miss the chance to

wipe out all her forces at once. She is so annoying. I want to squash her in one go.”

Artemis raised an eyebrow. “Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you how to draw out all the men under her

command.”

Bailey rolled her eyes. If he wants me to kiss him, he should say it. It's not like I'll say no.

After pecking his thin lips a few times, she urged in a playful tone, “Come on, spill it. Tell me.”

Artemis reached out and pinched her cheek, laughing. “You really are a handful. If it weren't for my

strong will, I would have been driven to my wits' end by your impish charm.”

Artemis pulled her onto the couch, wrapping his arms around her. Chuckling, he said, “Sofie's biggest

fear right now is sharing a spot with Mr. Doyle. As you know, after Mr. Doyle went to Intel Island, he

subdued a massive force. If he also attacks the headquarters, Sofie won't benefit much from the

situation. Driven to desperation, Sofie will likely mobilize all the power she has to suppress Mr. Doyle.

Thus, what we need to do now is to make Mr. Doyle turn against her.”

Bailey's eyes lit up. “You're right! By manipulating Mr. Doyle, we can force Sofie to deploy all her forces

to the headquarters for a final battle. Then, we can collaborate with Holden to attack from both inside

and outside, crushing both forces at once. However, Mr. Doyle is currently in a partnership with Sofie.

How can we make them turn against each other?”
