Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 885

Chapter 885 The Dog Eat Dog Show Begins

Shaun issued her an order, insisting that she must win over Veikko today, no matter what.

She had tried to seduce him these past few days, but his resolve was too strong. Even when she used

Caridee's face, she couldn't make him lose his composure.

Luckily, she had packed the sedative fragrance in her luggage when she came to the Saviors.

Since she couldn't bring him down by conventional means, she had no choice but to resort to these

unscrupulous tactics.

She was now desperately wanting to get involved with Caridee's man, and then take some intimate

photos with him to send to Shaun.

Once Shaun showed the photos to Caridee, that woman will surely be heartbroken.

What a pity. I can't see the look of pain on that little wretch's face.

All she had been through was thanks to that despicable person.

If she didn't torment her until she was battered and bruised, she would be letting down her agonizing

struggles in hell all these days.

“Veikko, I feel dizzy.”

With that, she dove headfirst into the man's arms.

A glacial chill flashed in Veikko's eyes, his brows revealing a look of disgust that could not be hidden.

However, due to his upcoming plans, he could only bear with it.

This imposter has already made contact with Shaun. I believe it won't be long before they take action.

Shaun wanted to trap him and then torment him.

Hence, he planned to turn the tables and killed that b*stard.

“Let me take you to the infirmary. It could be the change of seasons that you're not used to yet.”

Astrid leaned into his embrace, subtly rubbing against his body intentionally.

Before long, Veikko sensed that something was amiss.

He could distinctly feel his body temperature steadily rising.

Hmm... There's something off about the perfume this woman is wearing.

Just as he was contemplating whether or not to accidentally push her into the artificial lake, the phone

in his pocket began to ring.

He subtly pushed her away and moved aside to answer the call.

A moment later, he returned and said to the imposter, “Caridee, I have an urgent matter and need to

step out for a bit.”

“Just stay in my villa, and don't run around everywhere, understand?”

Just as success was within reach, an unexpected obstacle got in her way, leaving Astrid feeling quite

frustrated.

If she let this man go, what kind of photo could she send to Shaun tonight? How could she provoke

Caridee?

“Then, come back early. I'll be waiting for you.”

Veikko gave a light hum, not wanting to utter another word, and directly turned around to leave the

garden.

A moment later, a maid came over carrying a cup of afternoon tea.

“Ms. Luther, please have some tea.”

Astrid dabbed herself with a captivating perfume, which inevitably led to a dry mouth if inhaled for too

long.

So when the maid handed her the water, she didn't think twice and gulped it down immediately.

Not long after drinking the water, she felt her head spinning even more. In a daze, she made her way

back to the living room and immediately lay down on a sofa.

Outside the villa.

Mindy looked at the maid in front of her while leaning lazily against the stone pillar. Her face was

expressionless as she asked, “Has she had her drink?”

“Yes, she drank it. I found that she already had a sedative scent on her. Even if we hadn't acted, she

would have been knocked out anyway.”

Mindy's eyes hardened, her teeth clenched tightly with a chilling glint of coldness burst forth from her

gaze.

“What a shameless wretch. She even smeared aphrodisiacs on herself. Since you're so desperate for a

man, I'll grant your wish.”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and said to the female bodyguard behind her, “Proceed

as planned.”

“Yes.”

Not long after Veikko left the Saviors, he received a message from the bodyguard hidden in the

shadows of the villa: Mr. Veikko, Mindy just sent someone to drug Ms. Luther. She's likely going to be

the next move. Should I step in to save Miss Luther?

After reading the text message, Veikko couldn't help but chuckle.

Mindy really didn't disappoint him at all.

The dog-eat-dog show he had been eagerly anticipating, finally began.

He guessed it. Why would a top-notch detective call him at this time to ask him out?

So it turned out that Mindy had bribed him, helping her to distract him.

Very good.

A clever scheme not only allowed him to witness the dog-eat-dog show but also revealed to him who

the traitor was.

In short, he was reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.

“Don't bother. Let the bodyguards in the villa turn a blind eye. Let her people in to wreak havoc on that

woman.”

Astrid woke up in a daze, realizing she was in a patch of grass.

This is the forest behind the artificial lake.

Didn't I go back to the living room?

How did I end up here?

Considering a certain possibility, she attempted to struggle to her feet.

In the next moment, a shadow descended, enveloping her completely.

“Help...”

The call was abruptly cut off before it could even be fully voiced.

Her eyes widened as she stared at the unfamiliar man in front of her.

She wanted to speak, but a large hand covered her mouth, preventing her from uttering even a

fragmented syllable.

Thinking about what would happen next, she was actually calm and unruffled inside.

She had been terribly tormented by Shaun. Compared to this, all the other torment seemed

insignificant to her. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

So what if another man sleeps with me? I have nothing to lose.

What she needed to consider was how to face Veikko afterward.

Who the hell is trying to harm me?

To be precise, who is trying to harm Caridee?

After all, she was now wearing Caridee's face.

The thought of her suffering once again for Caridee made her grit her teeth with frustration.

Why should I bear the brunt of this disaster today, which is originally meant for Caridee?

Why do I deserve this?

A wild hatred spread throughout her body, and all she could do was watch helplessly as she was...

After an indeterminate amount of time, a flurry of hurried footsteps echoed in her ears.

She forced herself to cry, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

She must try her best to appear pitiful, she couldn't let Veikko despise her and throw her out of the

Saviors.

Her task was not yet completed.

With a 'bang', a piercing gunshot echoed.

Next, a gush warm liquid splashed onto her face.

Through the crimson haze, she could vaguely see Veikko's face, darkened to the extreme.

Once the external force blocking her mouth was removed, she began to sob uncontrollably.

Veikko stood still, hesitating for a moment before he took off his trench coat and draped it over her.

Then, he pulled her into his embrace.

“Caridee, I... I'm sorry. Nothing happened. All of this is just a dream.”

“Take a sleep, and when you wake up, you'll realize that none of this is real. It's not real.”

Seeing him still treating her like a treasure, Astrid was filled with intense jealousy.

What does Caridee possess to have earned such profound love from this man?

Even if she was raped by others, he still cherished her dearly.

Why do I not get such affection?

Why?

No, this affection now belongs to me. I must seize the opportunity and hold onto it firmly.

“Sob, sob, sob, Veikko this... this is not a dream, I... I have been... Just leave me be. I... I am not worthy

of you anymore.”

The young man fought back his feeling of nausea, cradling her face in his hands. His eyes were red

and intense as he bore into hers. Then, he declared vehemently, “No, never. In my eyes, you have

always been the epitome of purity and flawlessness.”

Astrid began to make a scene, struggling violently in his arms.
