Bailey sighed imperceptibly.
She languidly turned to face Chloe, her gaze roving over the latter's bloody and disfigured face.
Thankfully, she had been quick enough to dodge the attack. Otherwise, she would have been the one with the mutilated face.
“You brought this upon yourself and have no one else to blame.”
“I brought this upon myself?” Chloe erupted into laughter as tears began streaming down the livid flesh around her eye sockets.
“Who do you think you are for claiming that I deserve it? Tell me!”
Bailey stared at her unfeelingly, her voice as light as the breeze as she uttered, “You were behind the first time I almost had a miscarriage, weren't you? I will never forgive anyone who dares lift a finger against my child. That applies to both you and Rhonda.”
Chloe's eyes widened as she looked at her askance. “Y-You knew I was the one all along? Then why didn't you expose me and even allowed me to be the CEO's secretary? Why?”
Bailey had on a poker face, her gaze icy.
“The only way to trounce someone like you is to let you suffer absolute defeat. Only after every bit of your superiority is decimated will you stop coming back.”
Chloe began frantically struggling from the grasp of the two guards. “Bailey, you are dead! I'll kill you!”
Bailey waved her hands. “Take her away. We'll take legal action against her for wanting to cause intentional harm and let the court decide what to do with her.”
“On it.”
Chloe's cries and curses echoed around every corner of the hall, causing everyone's hair to stand on end.
Bailey exhaled exasperatedly. Her mood had taken a turn for the worse.
She hadn't planned for these women to meet such unfortunate ends, yet they had forced her hand.
If she had not retaliated strongly, she would be the one ending up in a wretched state.
“Come on, let's head back to the medical base.”
Zeke inclined his head and held her hand as he comforted, “You reap what you sow. They're not worth an ounce of your sympathy. Don't blame yourself for what happened to them.”
Once they reached the medical base, they were told by the butler that Raiden was waiting in the living room and had an important matter to discuss.
There are only two plausible reasons behind his seeking me out.
The first is to report on the investigation results, while the second is about dealing with Scarlett.
“I'll head over to the living room. You can return to where the sick wards are without me.”
