Bailey was taken aback. Once she regained her composure, she looked at her, full of surprise. Did I mishear just now? Does this girl want an imposter to replace her constant companion by Cameron's side? How can this be possible? Leaving aside the unfairness to Cameron, Eunice's cunning alone makes her an unsuitable choice for the role of the matriarch. Moreover, Eunice doesn't love Cameron. She's fond of Artemis. That's why she seduced him in such a manner that night. If Cameron ends up marrying her one day, wouldn't that turn the world upside down?
After a moment of contemplation, Bailey still decided to reveal Eunice's schemes and intentions to Blaze.
“So, this is the true nature of that woman. She's hypocritical and pretentious, and her methods are malicious. Even so, are you still going to hand Cameron over to her? Blaze, you can evade Cameron's pursuit, but you can't make decisions for him. This concerns his lifelong happiness.”
Blaze's lips were tightly pressed together, his beautiful eyes slightly shifting, revealing a pained look.
She had admired and pursued that man for many years. To say she could easily give up would be nothing but self-deception.
However, she no longer had the right to stay by his side, so letting go was the best liberation.
“I didn't think things through. I take back what I just said. Bailey, since Eunice has a grudge against you, you should deal with her. As for Cameron, I truly can't let go of everything I've experienced during this period of time and happily accept him. Our entanglement concludes here. For the rest of his life, I hope he enjoys peace and tranquility, happiness and fulfillment. I will send him my best wishes from afar.”
Bailey could only shake her head helplessly. Doesn't this girl understand? Without her, Cameron's life would never be blissful. If she were to flee, he would undoubtedly pursue her. The time wasted, after all, is the fleeting youth. By the time they look back at their lives someday in the future, everything will have already changed beyond recognition. Perhaps by then, they would regret having wasted so much time they could have spent together.
Of course, despite the laments, Blaze was beyond persuasion at that moment.
If Bailey were in that situation, she probably wouldn't have the courage to face the man she loved either.
“Very well. As long as you've made a decision, that's what matters. We still have a few days left in Gregan. What about you? Will you stay in the shadows, or will you leave?”
Blaze slowly lifted her gaze to the distant starry sky, the brilliant starlight etched in her dark eyes shimmering brightly.
After a moment of silence, she reached to her waist and pulled out a dagger, then grabbed a loose strand of hair from her forehead.
With a decisive swing of the knife, she cut a few strands of hair, holding them in her palm. “Please deliver this to Cameron for me and tell him not to worry about me for the rest of his life. I will live well.”
The strands of hair represented her threads of love.
Severing the strands of hair was like severing her threads of love.
Bailey hadn't expected her to be so resolute, determined to draw a clear line between herself and Cameron, never to cross paths with each other again.
Taking the strands of hair from her, Bailey held them tightly in her palm and nodded, saying, “Years will pass before we meet again. Take care.”
As she finished speaking, she turned to Ken, who was standing quietly not far away, and said, “Mobilize the resources of the Luther family to escort Ms. Blaze out of Gregan. After she leaves, erase all traces of her completely. Remember, you must ensure she reaches a safe place.”
“Yes, Mrs. Luther.”
After watching Blaze depart, Bailey leisurely walked toward the direction where Artemis was.
From a distance, she saw a tall and slender figure standing quietly under the moonlight, elegant and noble, unparalleled in grace and nobility.
This man, powerful and perfect, was like an aloof deity.
She believed that she must have accumulated a lot of good karma in her past life, which was why, in this life, she was able to be with such a man whom countless women yearned for.
