Dawn tightened the band around her neck.
“Mother, you are the strongest woman I've ever met, and I believe fate will be kind to you.” Shannon placed her on the electric motorcycle, sat down, and changed directions.
“Thank you. I hope everything settles down soon.”
Dawn clung to her back, tears seeping from her eyes. She smelled Micah's scent on her mother, which meant they must have been together the whole time. This was how two people who love each other should interact.
Dawn was grateful to her foster mother for saving her and pulling her back from the depths of hell. Yesterday's actions could be considered as repaying Shannon for her kindness.
They still had a long future ahead of them. Shannon still had to raise and educate the girl. Dawn would owe her more and more.
However, Dawn thought it was all right as she had a lifetime to repay Shannon.
That evening, Bailey submitted a greeting card to the Hoffman family, announcing her arrival in Moranta in two days.
Upon hearing this news, both Phillip and Sofie were extremely thrilled. They knew Bailey had come to avenge Artemis. They were not afraid of her coming but of her not coming.
Now that she had arrived, they could finally trap her in Moranta. Raymond sent Bailey a brief message
in response.
I applaud your courage for daring to venture into this perilous place. Once you arrive in Moranta, I can ensure your safety within the Hoffman residence, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help you beyond that.
Upon receiving this message, Bailey could not help but chuckle. She could not entrust her life to someone who would even sacrifice his own daughter for their family's interest.
In her view, every inch of Moranta was unsafe, except for the Saviors branch.
After receiving the message, Bailey formally informed Zeke and the others that they would be setting off the next day, asking them to make the necessary preparations for departure. Inside the bedroom.
Artemis looked at his wife standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and asked, “Shall we go to the Dellmoor first or head straight to Moranta? I heard that Raiden's father had become a vegetative person. He requires you to wake him up personally. Aren't you going to make this trip?”
Bailey shook his head and sneered.
“Lindsay and Yolanda can't wait to skin me alive and swallow me whole just because Josiah passed down the dream-tailoring skill to me. Now that they're in Dellmoor, I'll definitely have a confrontation with them if I go there, and I won't be able to go to Moranta anytime soon.”
“There are matters of varying importance and urgency. Since Raiden's father is not in any immediate danger, let's first resolve the issue with Sofie and Mr. Philip,” Bailey said. Artemis gave a light hum.
“All right, let's follow your plan. We'll head to Moranta first, deal with Sofie and her group, and then return to Dellmoor.”
“Yeah.”
Inside a bedroom in the Saviors branch in Moranta. Mindy stood before a floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze fixed intently on the distant garden. A man and a woman leaned against the railing by the artificial lake in the garden, seemingly admiring the colorful koi fish in the lake. The two silhouettes looked perfectly matched. Any onlooker would unconsciously think the pair was incredibly well-suited for each other.
“Who is she acting delicate for? The Tarragon leader is dead. Is she really that heartbroken? Is she trying to show her deep loyalty and emotions this way so Mr. Veikko will look at her with newfound respect?”
Upon hearing this, the female bodyguard behind said tentatively, “I thought the daughters raised by the Luther family were known for their purity and self-discipline.”
“Unexpectedly, Ms. Caridee turns out to be one who can't stand loneliness and likes to fool around. I heard her innocent appearance completely captivated Mr. Carter. Originally, he wanted to get involved with her and spend a passionate night together, but Mr. Veikko suddenly appeared and stopped everything. He even crippled Mr. Carter. I bet Mr. Carter must despise Caridee now,” said the female bodyguard.
Mindy suddenly turned around, squinting, and the corner of her lips curled up into a sinister smile.
“Right, how could I have forgotten about Mr. Carter? He's now a eunuch, all thanks to Caridee's doing.”
Mindy continued, “I bet he must hate that little wretch now, wishing he could pin her down and humiliate her without restraint. When he found out that Caridee was the one Veikko cherished in his heart, Mr. Carter will definitely try every means to get his hands on that despicable girl, using her to strike against Mr. Veikko and avenge his own disgrace.”
The female bodyguard nodded and said, “You are truly wise, Mindy. You can secretly contact Mr. Carter and help him kidnap Caridee. Wouldn't you easily eliminate this threat?”
Mindy clapped vigorously and giggled.
“This is a great idea! Let's do it. We'll use Mr. Carter to get rid of that little wretch.”
“I will immediately find a way to get in touch with Mr. Carter and probe his intentions. Let's see if he is willing to cooperate,” the female bodyguard responded.
“All right, go ahead.” It was said Bailey intended to pass on her position to Veikko. As long as Mindy could attach herself to this man, she would become the future wife of the leader.
This was what she had always dreamed of, and no one could take it away from her, not even the legitimate daughter of the Luther family. Mindy could still bring her to ruin and disgrace. By the artificial lake. Caridee was wiping her tears with a tissue, still unable to process the news of Artemis' death. In her memory, Artemis was invincible, and there was nothing in the world he could not solve. She could not accept such a powerful person simply vanishing without a trace.
“Stop crying. Bailey will be in Moranta in a couple of days. If anything happens to you, it'll be hard for me to explain it to her.”
Caridee froze, turned her head to look at him, and asked in surprise, “Bailey is coming to Moranta in a couple of days? What is she coming here for?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
The young man did not say much.
“To avenge your brother for you.”
Caridee's expression changed. She grabbed his arm agitatedly and asked urgently, “Artemis' murderer is in Moranta? Who? Who is it?”
Veikko gave her a cold glance and said indifferently, “You don't need to know. Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to handle it. Just stay in the branch office and behave yourself. Don't run around recklessly, as it's unsafe outside. By the way, I've crippled Shaun, so he must hate us to the core now. If you fall into his hands, it will be absolutely terrible for you.”
Upon mentioning Shaun, Caridee could not help but shiver. That scumbag must hate her for turning him into a cripple, and he probably wanted to skin her alive right now. She must be careful not to fall into his hands, or else she would be better off dead.
“I-I understand now. This place should be safe, right?”
“It's safe for now. As long as you don't run around recklessly, there shouldn't be any accidents.”
Caridee leaned into his embrace and said with a trembling voice, “I'm scared of Shaun. He's a pervert capable of doing all kinds of filthy and disgusting things. Please, don't leave me behind. I-I'm afraid.”
Veikko hesitated momentarily but ultimately followed his heart, slowly reaching out and embracing her.
“I'm telling you this just as a reminder so you don't run around recklessly. As long as you listen to me, you'll be fine.”
Caridee responded with silence. Inside the study of the medical base in Hallsbay. Justin bowed respectfully to Bill, who was sitting on the couch.
“What I'm about to say next might provoke your anger, but I have no choice but to speak.”
