Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 930

Chapter 930 She Fell For The Trap

She was truly scared.

When that man lost his temper, he could really drive her to her wit's end.

Who knew what had gotten into him? He had been tormenting her relentlessly since the moment he got

back.

Whenever she saw him, her legs could not help but wobble in fear.

Artemis rubbed his temple helplessly and gave a wry smile. “You enjoyed it too, didn't you? If it weren't

for the excellent soundproofing in this room, I bet your voice would reverberate throughout the entire

research base.”

In an instant, Bailey's cheeks flushed red.

When she saw him approaching her again, she glared at him and yelled, “Don't touch me. I've got

things to do, and I can't mess around with you anymore.”

Artemis let out a sigh, got up, put on his robe, and then walked toward her. He forcefully picked her up,

disregarding her resistance.

“I won't give you a hard time anymore. Go take a bath, it can help ease your body aches.”

Bailey scoffed twice and asked through gritted teeth, “Did the gorgeous lady from Interpol bewitch you?

Is that why you got all—”

“Was that not enough?” Artemis asked, narrowing his gaze as a malicious intent flickered in his eyes.

Bailey's body trembled slightly at his threat. She quickly changed the subject, “Eunice is planning to

assassinate Catherine later. Stop messing around. Hurry up and carry me into the bathroom to wash

up. Although Eunice's perfumery skills aren't as good as Catherine's, she's still hiding in the shadows,

so we need to be vigilant when dealing with her.”

Upon hearing what she said, Artemis collected himself. The playful expression on his face

disappeared.

If it were someone else, he might not have taken it seriously.

But Catherine was Simon's future wife, and there was no way he would let outsiders bully her.

“Don't worry, there are so many of us guarding the research base. If something really happens to

Catherine, we would be so embarrassed that we'll bang our heads against the wall.”

While that may be the case, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Meanwhile, in the last room of the infirmary, Catherine looked at her daughter with a blank face. Her

gaze was cold and indifferent.

Her daughter lay on the hospital bed, eyes tightly shut, and her face extremely pale.

Originally, Catherine's fragrance powder could effectively suppress the revival of the parasitic bug

inside Luna.

It's all Eunice's fault!

Catherine was well aware of the woman's intentions. She knew that the woman wanted to harm Luna

and cause her deep grief and emotional distress, making her mentally and physically exhausted.

That was likely the only way for Eunice to stand a chance of winning when she ambushed Catherine.

Regardless, that woman was no match for Catherine. She could only resort to such despicable means

to compete with Catherine.

Hmph! She's nothing but trash. It's ridiculous how the elders in the family are supporting her, wanting to

help her rise to power, only to replace her later.

Catherine had not laid a finger on Eunice in the past few years. It was not because she was afraid of

Eunice, but rather, Catherine did not consider Eunice worthy of her time and attention.

She isn't worthy to compete with me.

“It's almost time. Let's leave now. Otherwise, Eunice might try to escape if she senses something amiss

upon arriving. Then it will be hard for us to catch her again.”

Simon's deep, husky voice rang out in Catherine's ears, snapping her back to her senses.

She quickly turned her head, and her gaze landed on the scene outside the window. Her hand hanging

by her side slowly clenched into a fist.

Let's put an end to this today, Eunice.

They were destined to fight to the last breath. The only way for Catherine to ensure she lived long

enough to watch her daughter grow up was to make sure that Eunice died.

“Go tell those bodyguards who are lurking in the shadows that if Eunice attacks them and makes them

feel dizzy with her perfume, they should just play along with her and not resist.”

Simon furrowed his brows and asked, “Are you sure she only uses sedative fragrance? Not poisonous

powder?”

Catherine glanced at him and then strode toward the door, speaking as she walked. “According to the

rules of the Rogers family, all of their descendants are not allowed to harm others with poisonous

powder. Eunice is determined to become the heir of the Rogers family. Do you think she would simply

kill the innocent, only to be ultimately punished by the family rules?”

Um... All right, point taken. It's quite a ridiculous question.

Soon, it was twelve noon.

In the southwestern corner of the research base, a slender figure darted over the wall like a ghost and

quickly vanished into the bush.

Three seconds later, the serene atmosphere was disrupted by the sound of several heavy objects

hitting the ground.

Afterward, several black-clad bodyguards, who were hidden in the shadows, silently dropped onto the

lawn.

They felt a gust of wind sweep past them, leaving a faint fragrance lingering in the air.

Subsequently, they lost their consciousness and fainted on the ground.

Bailey was hiding behind the window sill of a distant attic, narrowing her eyes and furrowing her brows

as she watched all the events unfold before her on the other side of the wall.

“I underestimated Eunice's skills and her mastery of the art of perfumery. I hope Catherine doesn't take

her lightly. It's hard to tell who will emerge victorious in the end.”

Arching a brow, Artemis leaned against another side of the window and chuckled. “Now that she has

entered the perilous place, her fate is sealed. She will surely die, and there's no doubt about it. Ha! I'm

really eager to know who has given this woman such confidence, making her believe she could escape

unscathed right under mine and Zeke's watchful eyes. Even the world's top assassins can't return alive

once they've ventured into the research base. I'm curious to see just how capable this woman is.”

Bailey rolled her eyes.

Indeed, no one would turn down a spectacle.

While his younger brother was downstairs, consumed by anxiety, he, on the other hand, remained

perfectly composed and content.

Eunice followed the blueprint that Aisley had provided and navigated her way through the research

base.

Wherever she went, she skillfully incapacitated all the bodyguards hiding in the shadows.

As she walked past a corner, heading towards the end of the hallway, she suddenly sensed something

was off and stopped dead in her tracks.

Astonished, she whipped out a jade stone from her pocket.

When she saw a milky white halo flickering on it, she felt as if she was struck by lightning, and her

expression changed drastically.

The jade stone is glowing? That means the parasite king isn't dead yet. If that's the case, the vector is

alive too. In other words, I've fallen into her trap. How dare you deceive me, Aisley! I'm going to kill you!

After cursing in her heart, Eunice quickly turned around, wanting to backtrack and retreat, realizing that

she was not a match for Catherine.

If that illegitimate child had survived, and Catherine's mental state was stable, I would undoubtedly be

facing my death today. The only way for me to stay alive is to run!

Just as she was about to turn and head back to the lush garden, a crisp voice sounded from behind

her. “Why are you running away, Eunice? Weren't you trying to seize the inheritance from me? If you

kill me today, you'll finally get what you've always wanted.”

Eunice's body shivered, causing her to come to a sudden stop.

As she looked up, she saw Catherine standing amidst the flowers, donned in a vintage long dress.

That woman doesn't need to do anything. As she stands there casually, she exudes an aura of

elegance, nobility, and dominance, as if she was born to be a leader.

Catherine was everyone's favorite. If she hadn't become pregnant back then and given birth to a child

of foreign lineage, she would have assumed the position of the head of the family long ago.

Conversely, Eunice was destined to be nothing more than a backdrop, existing only to complement

Catherine.

“You tricked me.”

Catherine looked at her coldly. A hint of contempt flashed in her eyes.

“Greed has no limits. You've brought this upon yourself. Since you're here, let's settle this once and for

all today.”
