Chapter 819
Lindsey was also Veikko's half-sister, as they shared the same father but had different mothers. Unfortunately, though they were from the same family, their destinies differ.
While Shaun and Lindsey lived under the protection of their family, Veikko struggled forward amidst the terror.
The beloved young man Caridee cherished had endured everything, all thanks to the Carter family. The last person she wanted to see right then was the descendant of the Carter family. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“What are you here for? Lindsey, don't waste your efforts. Bailey won't treat your brother because... Forget it! It's not my place as a bystander to comment on past grudges and resentments. In short, Bailey won't go and save your brother.”
Lindsey rushed to the bedside and said anxiously, “I heard from Shaun that Bailey is dead. It was Mr. Philip and Sofie who joined forces to kill her. Caridee, is... Is that true?”
Caridee's pupils contracted intensely twice. When she recovered her senses, her expression changed drastically. She suddenly pushed Lindsey away.
“What are you up to? Bailey is alive and well. I just saw her the day before yesterday. How can you curse her to die? If she dies, your whole family will be dead too.”
Lindsey lowered her head, and a hint of gloom flickered in her eyes.
Is this fool still clueless about Bailey's accident? Does that mean she has been left out by them? In that case, how can I still get any useful information from her?
“Caridee, listen to me. Shaun called me and told me to go home. He said Bailey has already passed away, and there's no point for me to stay here.”
“Then go back! Get lost!”
Caridee roared at Lindsey, “All of you from the Carter family are malicious and cunning. I won't believe a single word you say.”
After speaking, Caridee got off the bed, limping as she hurried toward the door. Lindsey reached out and grabbed her, placing a listening device that was held between her fingers onto Caridee's sleeve. Lindsey knew Caridee, the fool, would go to Zeke to find out about the situation.
Perhaps she could glean some clues, evidence, or trail from the conversation between the two.
If Bailey is really dead, then everyone will be overjoyed. If she didn't die, I'll continue to lurk here and wait for the perfect opportunity.
Caridee stumbled and fumbled her way to the Luther residence. Zeke received the news and came out to greet her. “Zeke, did something happen to Bailey?” Zeke frowned.
The news of Bailey's death did not spread to the public. Sofie and Philip both concealed the news of Bailey's death, clearly not wanting it to spread and become widely known, which would attract the outsiders' attention to Moranta. At that moment, Zeke wondered how Caridee found out about it.
“Caridee, how did you find out about it?”
Caridee did not answer but looked at Zeke with an anxious face.
She cried and pleaded, “Zeke, please tell me the truth. If not, I'll break down.” Upon seeing her like that, Zeke realized she was definitely on the verge of a breakdown.
But can I really tell her the truth?
A hint of hesitation flashed across Zeke's eyes. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, “Last night, Bailey secretly went to get the enhancer without telling me. When I found out, I chased after her, but I lost track of her. Later, the female bodyguard who went out with Bailey returned with the enhancer and informed us that Bailey had fallen into the hands of Sofie and her gang.”
Zeke continued, “I don't know whether she's dead or alive right now. I've already sent all my subordinates to investigate, but we haven't received any definite news yet.”
Caridee felt a sudden wave of dizziness and staggered backward.
“Did something happen? Did something really happen to her? That is impossible! She is so capable. How can she die so easily? In my eyes, she has always been strong.”
Zeke quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around Caridee's waist, carrying her in his arms.
As he approached her, the anti-tracking device on him started to vibrate more intensely. It meant that there was a listening device on Caridee.
Fortunately, Zeke did not let his guard down out of sympathy for her. Otherwise, the plan would have
been exposed.
“Caridee, please prepare for the worst. In a way, it's not so bad. Since Artemis' death, Bailey has been living a life worse than death. If something unfortunate happens to her, it'll be a relief to her.”
Caridee lay in his arms and began to sob uncontrollably.
“She's your biological sister. How can you say that so heartlessly?” Suppressing his pain intentionally, Zeke trembled as he spoke.
“It's exactly because she's my dear sister that I can't bear to see her living like a walking corpse. As for their enemies, Veikko, Simon, and I will join forces to avenge them. Caridee, let's face reality together.” Caridee cried even more brokenheartedly.
“I don't want to! I just can't accept it!” Caridee cried, her voice trembling with anguish. On the other side, after listening to the conversation between the two, Lindsey could not discern any information.
So, is Bailey really dead?
Caridee, after all, was their close relative. If Bailey did not die, Zeke would not have kept it a secret from the former, seeing how heartbroken she was.
With Zeke's repeated emphasis on Bailey's death, it should be accepted as the truth that she had indeed passed away.
Lindsey really wanted to be friends with Bailey, but when it involved her happiness, she could not help but wish for the latter's death.
Bay, please don't blame me. I really can't live without Edmund. I love him!
At the winery, Tucker was still working in the room.
Kurt sat comfortably on the couch in the first-floor living room, holding a glass of red wine and savoring it leisurely. Tucker's personal bodyguard was situated across from him, providing updates on the latest developments.
The bodyguard had no choice but to do so because it seemed Tucker had gone mad. He had been torturing Bailey all morning upstairs without showing his face. So the bodyguard dared not to disturb him.
“Mr. White, that's the current situation. I suspect Zoey has already realized that we've set up an intricate trap, so she doesn't dare to show up.”
“All right, just continue to stand guard and ensure there are no slip-ups. We absolutely cannot let Zoey spread the news of Bailey's survival. Otherwise, your Mr. Tucker will skin you alive.”
“Yes, yes, yes! I know, I know.”
Beep!
Kurt's phone started ringing. He retrieved the phone and glanced at it. A special push notification popped up on the screen.
The infamous Poison Lady, Blaze, has arrived in Moranta this morning, but her purpose remains
unknown.
Kurt suddenly sprang up from the sofa. It could be said that Blaze's fame was so great that it struck one's ears like the roar of thunder.
Why did she come to Moranta?
Upon seeing Kurt's agitation, the bodyguard quickly asked, “Mr. White, did something happen?”
Kurt did not answer, suddenly gripping his phone tightly.
Did Cameron entrust Blaze to neutralize the poison in the enhancer? How could I miss her out?
Blaze was the only one who could neutralize that toxin, apart from Bailey and Cameron.
“No worries! It seems like the heavens won't let Juliana, that little girl, die. Someone has come to save her.”
The bodyguard remained silent. At the entrance of the base camp, Zeke looked at the woman in front of him, who was dressed in black leather from head to toe.
He raised an eyebrow as he asked, “Are you Blaze? Did Cameron invite you here?”
The young woman had a shoulder bag slung across her back.
With a mischievous smile, she said, “In this world, apart from Cam, no one else can persuade me to do anything. Enough nonsense! Bring me to do the detoxification. Once it's done, I have to go back and
ask Cam for a reward. Don't waste my time.”
Zeke sized Blaze up and felt she was indeed a good match for Cameron because even their intonation when speaking was also the same.
