Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 847

Chapter 847 You Have Been Fooled

There was no expression on Shannon's face.

She had grown accustomed to treating Micah with indifference. “Their child is still alive. Wendy's womb

is still intact. There are no insurmountable chasms between them, so they can mend their relationship.

As for us? I can't think of any reason for us to rekindle our old flame. I also feel there's no need for us

to fix our broken relationship. You're almost fully recovered now. In a few days, I'll be leaving with

Dawn. If our past love still means anything to you, please fulfill my request and don't disturb our

peaceful life. I'm begging you.”

After hearing those words, Micah didn't seem too disappointed.

Having experienced it so many times, he had become immune to it.

In the past, hearing such words might have caused him pain. However, at that moment, all that was left

in his heart was numbness.

How could two people find a way out if they were both completely in despair?

Therefore, he could not let her influence him. He had to hold onto his dreams and hopes even in his

deepest despair.

He believed that the heavens would grant them another chance, allowing them to live out the rest of

their lives together.

“All right, calm down. Let's not talk about this anymore,” said Micah. Regardless of where she goes

with the kid, I'll follow them.

Perhaps sensing his stubbornness, Shannon let out a silent sigh in her heart. I'll just let him be.

Perhaps he'll get sick of it over time.

When Bailey came out of the medical room, she bumped into Artemis head-on. “Did Daddy leave?”

“He did. It's not very safe for him to stay here. After all, Damien has been following him for years and

knows his whereabouts. Only when he returns to Hallsbay will his safety be guaranteed. When that This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

happens, we can rest easy and attend to other matters.”

Bailey glanced back at the medical room behind him, a thought crossing her mind. “Come, follow me to

the operating room.”

After saying that, she grabbed Artemis' hand and ran inside.

Artemis seemed to guess her intentions and couldn't help but laugh. “We already have two sons and a

daughter. That's enough. I'm not greedy. You should stop, too.”

“I want to get pregnant and have you treat me like a diva, though,” said Bailey.

Haven't I been doing that? He raised his eyebrow. “Do you really want to do this?”

“Yes. I want to have another child. I'm serious about this. We must cooperate with the national policy

and birth more children.”

Seeing her persistence, Artemis didn't try to stop her anymore. He reminded, “We still need to go to

Moranta to clean up the mess. Let's not stay here for too long.”

“I know. With my specially formulated medicine, you'll recover in two days.”

During the night, inside a private mansion in Moranta, Astrid was escorted into the living room by two

bodyguards from outside.

After she arrived in the couch area, one of them viciously kicked her in the calf.

Pain surged through her, forcing her to kneel.

Sitting on the couch, Shaun tipped up her chin with the tip of his leather shoe. His expression was a

mix of amusement and seriousness. “You're quite fond of that little bastard in my family, don't you?

Perfect. How about I use you to lure him out tonight? I'll make you two into a pair of star-crossed

lovers”

Astrid tightly clenched her fists, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

From the tone of Shaun's voice, it was clear that he was tired of her and was planning to end her life.

If she failed to save herself, she would die that night, which she didn't want to happen before she could

have her revenge.

As such, her only option was to take a risk. If she won, she could use Shaun to eliminate Tucker and

exact revenge on Caridee.

All her misfortunes could be traced back to those two individuals. Hence, even if her final destination

were hell, she would drag them down with her.

Once she made up her mind, she lunged forward and embraced Shaun tightly, pleading urgently, “Mr.

Carter, you can't take me to the appointment. It's because I'm not the real Caridee. If you take me to

see Veikko tonight, he will kill you.”

Shaun was taken aback.

Once he regained his composure, he abruptly leaned in, gripping her chin tightly. Through gritted teeth,

he demanded, “Repeat what you just said.”

Astrid knew what he wanted to hear, so she reverted to her original voice, raising her tone and

shouting, “I am not Caridee! It's all Tucker's doing, that scoundrel. He did it to quell your anger, to get

you to agree to send reinforcements to help Sofie attack Tarragon. He forced me to undergo plastic

surgery to look like Caridee.”

Snap!

A grating sound of bone cracking reverberated in the living room.

Astrid's chin was crushed by him. The intense pain made her curl up in response.

Even so, she still spoke, though with difficulty. “The real Caridee is still in the Shurmer family's research

base. Veikko surely knows about this matter. He only agreed to meet you to kill you. Mr. Carter, a lack

of patience in small matters will bring destruction to overall plans. You surely won't want to risk your life

for a fleeting moment of satisfaction, will you?”

Shaun abruptly shook her off, then sprang up from the couch. “How dare Tucker play me for a fool. Not

only did he cause me to lose a third of my power, but he also almost caused me to die a horrible death.

I'm going to kill him!”

After he finished speaking, he aimed his gloomy eyes straight at Astrid, who was lying on the ground.

“How dare you deceive me, b*tch. Guards, drag her away and feed her to the dogs.”

Astrid tumbled and crawled to his feet. Clutching his calves, she urgently said, “I know of a way for you

to seek revenge and kill Tucker. I also know how to tear Veikko and Caridee apart, making their lives a

living nightmare. Mr. Carter, we are both victims. Killing me won't do you any good. It won't change the

fact that we've been played. Instead, why don't we join forces and make them pay dearly for this?”

Shaun took a deep breath, suppressing the anger boiling within him. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Tell me

your plan. If I'm satisfied, I will spare your life. If you fail to do so, I will tear you to pieces.”

Astrid quickly spoke up. “Sofie and Mr. Philip have an illegitimate child. Tucker is trying to kill him. All

you need to do is find a way to relay this information to Sofie. That woman is capable of eliminating

Tucker. As for Veikko and Caridee, I'll find a way to help you get Caridee. Then, I'll seduce Veikko as

Caridee. When he's completely smitten with me, I'll seize the opportunity to kill him. What do you

think?”

Shaun reached out and gently patted her cheek, suddenly breaking into a sinister grin. “All right. We'll

do it your way. A woman as vicious as you certainly makes for a valuable chess piece. It would be a

waste to destroy you. I suppose it's better to make full use of you.”

Upon seeing him relent, Astrid was instantly drained, collapsing directly onto the ground. I've secured

my chance for revenge. Tucker, Caridee, neither of you will escape me!

Meanwhile, inside the study within Philip's residence, Tucker stared at his father, surprised.

His voice was trembling. “W-What did you say? Bailey is still alive? Not only that, she's the one who

saved Wendy, causing Sofie to lose her leverage over Holden?” I know she's alive, but she has been

staying in my winery. How did she end up at Tarragon Headquarters? Could it be that she's not the

woman in my winery? Have I been making love with an imposter? That's absurd! I refuse to believe

this! This is an outrageous joke!
