Chapter 829 The Incurable Poison
It is the sweetest thing to most people to become one with the person they love.
That feeling was like mixing honey with oil, both rich and sweet.
Artemis smirked, pulling her tightly into his embrace, and said in a husky voice, “As long as you
understand, let me be with you every day from now on. You will definitely be very happy, there won't be
a moment where you feel tired.”
Bailey traced circles over his heart with her hand, her eyes curved in a smile. Her beautiful eyes were
filled with laughter, and between her glances and her charming demeanor, she exuded an irresistible
allure.
“I see you'd love to stick by my side every day. It seems all men have the potential to become
debauched monarchs.
“That's because I am mesmerized by a fairy.”
Err... What the hell?
Peep...
A series of notification tones sounded.
Artemis reached out a hand to grab the cell phone on the table.
After reading the message, he sat up holding Bailey, “Bay, there's news from over there. They say
Sofie has already assembled her forces, ready to launch a full-scale attack on Tarragon.”
“I might need to go back. Holden might not be able to handle it alone, after all, Wendy is in Sofie's
hands, he's bound to be affected.”
Bailey nestled softly in his arms, letting out a gentle hum, “Mr. Doyle, Sofie, Mr. Philip, plus the power of
the Carter family, Holden indeed can't handle it all by himself.”
“Now we're just waiting to reel in the net. You'll definitely have to go back once, remember to take me
with you, or don't even think about leaving this base.”
Artemis couldn't help but laugh.
He knew she would propose to go together.
It seems that nothing could tear her away from his side in this world.
“Alright then, I indeed feel uneasy leaving you here alone. So, come with me.”
“That's more like it. Don't even think about drugging me. If you dare to do that, I'll just go with any
random man... Hmm.”
The words she was about to say next were silenced by his assertive kiss.
Inside the study of a mansion.
Sofie was currently video-calling with Holden.
“How about it, Mr. Lewitt, have you made up your mind?”
Holden looked at her coldly, his voice calm. “When you attack Tarragon's headquarters, I will certainly
disarm all defenses, allowing you to advance smoothly and without any losses.”
“Good.” Sofie laughed heartily. “Mr. Lewitt, you truly live up to your reputation as a tough man, always
so straightforward. If you're willing, you're still welcome to stay and manage things at Tarragon.”
Of course, these were just polite words. If he dared to stay in Tarragon, she would certainly seize the
opportunity to kill him.
It is the sweetest thing to most people to become one with the person they love.
Thot feeling wos like mixing honey with oil, both rich ond sweet.
Artemis smirked, pulling her tightly into his embroce, ond soid in o husky voice, “As long os you
understond, let me be with you every doy from now on. You will definitely be very hoppy, there won't be Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Boiley troced circles over his heort with her hond, her eyes curved in o smile. Her beoutiful eyes were
filled with loughter, ond between her glonces ond her chorming demeonor, she exuded on irresistible
ollure.
“I see you'd love to stick by my side every doy. It seems oll men hove the potentiol to become
debouched monorchs.
“Thot's becouse I om mesmerized by o foiry.”
Err... Whot the hell?
Peep...
A series of notificotion tones sounded.
Artemis reoched out o hond to grob the cell phone on the toble.
After reoding the messoge, he sot up holding Boiley, “Boy, there's news from over there. They soy
Sofie hos olreody ossembled her forces, reody to lounch o full-scole ottock on Torrogon.”
“I might need to go bock. Holden might not be oble to hondle it olone, ofter oll, Wendy is in Sofie's

Boiley nestled softly in his orms, letting out o gentle hum, “Mr. Doyle, Sofie, Mr. Philip, plus the power of

“Now we're just woiting to reel in the net. You'll definitely hove to go bock once, remember to toke me

Artemis couldn't help but lough.
He knew she would propose to go together.
It seems thot nothing could teor her owoy from his side in this world.
“Alright then, I indeed feel uneosy leoving you here olone. So, come with me.”
“Thot's more like it. Don't even think obout drugging me. If you dore to do thot, I'll just go with ony
rondom mon... Hmm.”
The words she wos obout to soy next were silenced by his ossertive kiss.
Inside the study of o monsion.
Sofie wos currently video-colling with Holden.
“How obout it, Mr. Lewitt, hove you mode up your mind?”
Holden looked ot her coldly, his voice colm. “When you ottock Torrogon's heodquorters, I will certoinly
disorm oll defenses, ollowing you to odvonce smoothly ond without ony losses.”
“Good.” Sofie loughed heortily. “Mr. Lewitt, you truly live up to your reputotion os o tough mon, olwoys
so stroightforword. If you're willing, you're still welcome to stoy ond monoge things ot Torrogon.”
Of course, these were just polite words. If he dored to stoy in Torrogon, she would certoinly seize the
opportunity to kill him.
It is the sweetest thing to most people to become one with the person they love.
Having a formidable character like Holden by her side was truly perilous. She had to be constantly on
guard, wary of the possibility that he might turn against her.
“No need for that. All I ask is for Ms. Carr to allow me to leave with my sister and Micah. Also,
remember to bring my woman over. I want her to return to my side safely.”
“Sounds good, then it's settled.”
“Mm-hmm.”
After cutting the video, Sofie leaned back on the sofa and began to laugh with satisfaction.
Once Mr. Doyle was eliminated, the vast underground force of Tarragon would be entirely hers.
She refused to settle for anything less. If she were to do something, she would want to become a
queen who stood above all men.
And the position of Tarragon leader could fulfill her lifelong wish.
...
In a suburban underground warehouse.
Zoey was tied to a wooden stake, her mouth sealed with tape. A series of muffled sounds came from
her nostrils.
Kurt stood in front of her, holding a vial of potion, smiling with a chilling coldness.
“Do you know I've been in love with a woman and pursued her for many years? Yet, the man she
constantly thinks about is the one who avoids her as if she's a venomous snake.
“I was so envious, and consumed by jealousy. Eventually, these feelings morphed into hatred. I wanted
to kill that man to take her back.
“Perhaps you might say, just kill them, your poison skills are so formidable, isn't killing someone the
simplest thing to you?
“Isn't it ironic how fate loves to play tricks on us? I couldn't possibly poison him because his skills in
poison far surpass mine. Isn't that just sad?
“But that's okay. Over the past few years, I've developed a new toxin, a toxin that no one in the world
can counteract. Now, all that's left is to conduct live experiments.
“Once this poison is successfully developed, I'll use it on that b*stard, forcing the woman I love to beg
me.”
“Mmm, mmm, mmm...”
Zoey didn't take in anything else, only the phrase “all that's left is to conduct live experiments” was
etched into her mind.
No, don't.
She didn't want to be a carrier of poison.
She couldn't bear such a torture.
“Mmm, mmm, mmm...”
Kurt reached out and patted her cheek, sneering coldly, “You don't want to do that? That's not up to you
though. Just remember that all this you're enduring is because of Cameron, the young master of the
Yablon family. When you get the chance, kill him to avenge yourself.”
Having said that, he abruptly jabbed the needle into her arm.
Zoey's pupils contracted sharply, her face gradually contorting.
Heving e formideble cherecter like Holden by her side wes truly perilous. She hed to be constently on
guerd, wery of the possibility thet he might turn egeinst her.
“No need for thet. All I esk is for Ms. Cerr to ellow me to leeve with my sister end Miceh. Also,

“Sounds good, then it's settled.”

Heving seid thet, he ebruptly jebbed the needle into her erm.

Having a formidable character like Holden by her side was truly perilous. She had to be constantly on

“Sounds good, than it's sattlad.”

The moment the poison entered her body, she felt a heart-wrenching, bone-eroding pain, as if millions

The moment the poison entered her body, she felt e heert-wrenching, bone-eroding pein, es if millions

She wented to elleviete the intense pein coursing through her body by screeming, but with tepe over

Kurt wetched her fece contort in pein, the cruel smirk on his lips beceme more pronounced.
He could veguely see the imege of Bleze kneeling before him end pleeding.
Thet women is deeply in love with Cemeron, isn't she? Unfortunetely, he hed concocted e poison thet
they couldn't cure end edministered it to Cemeron. With thet, he expected Bleze to obediently come to

“Cemeron, you're going to meet e terrible end.”
At the reseerch bese.
Inside the study.

Zeke looked et Artemis, pointed to Beiley with one hend, end esked through gritted teeth, “Are you

Beiley rolled her eyes.
Hmph! You ere reelly my deer brother.
“It's not like I'm esking for your epprovel, I'm just letting you know. Whet's with the fuss?”
In e fit of enger, Zeke picked up the tissue box from the teble end hurled it towerd her foreheed.

In e fit of enger, Zeke stormed out, slemming the door behind him.
Beiley blinked her eyes end seid to Veikko, “Hurry up end errenge e privete jet to teke us out of the

Huh?
Doesn't this women see thet Zeke is furious?
Just es Veikko wes ebout to get up, his phone suddenly reng in his pocket.
Upon checking, it wes e cell from Sheun.
The moment the poison entered her body, she felt o heort-wrenching, bone-eroding poin, os if millions

“Mmm, mmm, mmm...”
She wonted to olleviote the intense poin coursing through her body by screoming, but with tope over

Just os Veikko wos obout to get up, his phone suddenly rong in his pocket.
Upon checking, it wos o coll from Shoun.
The moment the poison entered her body, she felt a heart-wrenching, bone-eroding pain, as if millions
of flesh-eating ants were gnawing at her flesh.
“Mmm, mmm, mmm...”
She wanted to alleviate the intense pain coursing through her body by screaming, but with tape over
her mouth, even a roar became a luxury she could only hope for.
Kurt watched her face contort in pain, the cruel smirk on his lips became more pronounced.
He could vaguely see the image of Blaze kneeling before him and pleading.
That woman is deeply in love with Cameron, isn't she? Unfortunately, he had concocted a poison that
they couldn't cure and administered it to Cameron. With that, he expected Blaze to obediently come to
him for help.
“Cameron, you're going to meet a terrible end.”
At the research base.
Inside the study.
Zeke and Veikko were comfortably seated on the sofa, while the disguised Artemis and Bailey stood
nearby.
Zeke looked at Artemis, pointed to Bailey with one hand, and asked through gritted teeth, “Are you
really going to take this sickly woman with you to Tarragon?”
Bailey rolled her eyes.
Hmph! You are really my dear brother.
“It's not like I'm asking for your approval, I'm just letting you know. What's with the fuss?”
In a fit of anger, Zeke picked up the tissue box from the table and hurled it toward her forehead.
“Get out of my sight.”
Artemis quickly pulled her into his arms, nodding his head and said, “Zeke, don't lose your temper.
You're well aware of what she's like, don't take it too seriously. The only one you're hurting with your
anger is yourself.”
Zeke rubbed his brow, his voice softening as he said, “Her health isn't in good shape, she really can't
afford to go through any more torment. Please, do me a favor and let her stay in Moranta.”
Bailey hummed, “That won't do. Wherever he goes, I go too. You can't stop me.”
“You...”
Artemis tapped her forehead and sighed, “Ms. Jefferson, can you talk less? You've upset your brother
to the point of him getting a heart attack.”
Bailey couldn't help but grumble, “Having a brother is such a hassle, he has to meddle in everything.
Hurry up and marry me, then he won't be able to interfere.”
...
In a fit of anger, Zeke stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Bailey blinked her eyes and said to Veikko, “Hurry up and arrange a private jet to take us out of the
country.”
Huh?
Doesn't this woman see that Zeke is furious?
Just as Veikko was about to get up, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
Upon checking, it was a call from Shaun.
