Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 758

Chapter 758 She Had No Choice But To Sacrifice

Caridee The more Shaun looked at the photo, the more he felt plagued with impatience.

What a beautiful girl, looking so pure that she makes me want to...

Shaun had been with so many women, all seductive and sexy. Even if there were a few seemingly innocent and charming ones, they were mostly just putting on an act. For the first time, he had encountered such a natural pure girl, untainted by any impurities, and he could not wait to spoil the woman wholeheartedly. Shaun said,

“Mr. Tucker keeps saying that he wants to cooperate with me sincerely, but could it be that he has also taken a fancy to this pretty girl and planned to claim her for himself?”

The bodyguard in a black suit standing in the center of the living room respectfully replied, “Mr. Carter, you have misunderstood. Mr. Tucker has prepared a grand feast for you that will surely make you leave satisfied.”

Shaun raised his eyebrows. He leaned lazily against the back of the chair, with a hint of a half-smile playing at the corner of his lips.

“Tell me about it. I'm curious to see what kind of surprise Mr. Tucker has prepared.”

The bodyguard nodded and said, “There will be an International Socialite Gala held the day after tomorrow, which is sponsored by the Hoffman family. The young lady you're interested in is also on the invitation list. Mr. Carter, if you could grace us with your presence, you would surely win the beauty's heart. As for the specific arrangements, I won't reveal them for now. You'll understand it when the time comes.”

Shaun burst into laughter.

“I never expected that Mr. Tucker would have such a romantic side! All right, I'll wait for another two days. I hope he can bring me a once-in-a-lifetime unforgettable encounter.”

The bodyguard replied, “Definitely.”

Shaun burst into hearty laughter again, grabbing the red wine from the table and downing it in one gulp. His gaze fell upon the young girl's face in the photo, and a wicked smile formed at the corner of his lips. In his hawk-like eyes, a glint of predatory desire flickered.

He was the head of the most prominent family in Epea, with wealth as loaded as any country's reserves. Over the years, beautiful women have surrounded him, and none who caught his eye have ever managed to escape.

The same goes for the one before my eyes.

He was determined to fully savor her beauty. At a leisure club, Astrid was escorted by two bodyguards in black suits into a private room.

Astrid said, “Let go of me, all of you! How dare you arrest me in public? Does the law mean nothing to you?”

“The law? In Moranta, isn't the Hoffman family the law itself? No. The Hoffman family is the law in the entire Adrune.”

A wickedly teasing voice reached Astrid's ears, and Astrid instinctively looked up to see a tall, slender figure sitting by the window. She knew the man. He was the next heir of the Hoffman family, Tucker Hoffman.

Astrid said, “Mr... Mr. Tucker, I don't know why you want to tie me up. I... I don't seem to have offended you, have I?”

Tucker was right.

In Moranta, the Hoffman family was the law, and Astrid could not afford to mess with the family. Neither could her family, as the Adley family relied on the Hoffman family for survival.

Tucker gestured to the seat across from him with his chin and raised an eyebrow, saying, “Ms. Adley, please have a seat and enjoy a cup of coffee. Let's have a chat.”

Astrid forced herself to approach him. After sitting down across from him, she said somewhat awkwardly, “Mr. Tucker, I have limited capabilities, so I really can't do anything for you. I hope you can understand...”

Before she could finish speaking, Tucker directly waved his hand to interrupt her.

“It's just a small matter, so I don't need you to have many capabilities. I heard that Ms. Caridee of the Luther family is your friend, and you have invited her to International Socialite Gala hosted by the Hoffman family?”

“Yes, you're right. If there is anything you wish to convey, please speak freely. If there's anything I can help with, I'll definitely not decline.”

Astrid stayed silent at that warning. Inside the headquarters bedroom at Tarragon Headquarters, Bailey woke up from Artemis' embrace.

She looked up at the man above her dreamily. Gazing at his handsome face, she said in a hoarse voice, “It feels so good to open my eyes and see you right away.”

Artemis leaned in and kissed her lips.

He then said, “Bay, let's go with the method you mentioned. I think it's feasible. After all, I won't survive anyway. If we take the gamble, maybe I can live on. If we don't, then death is certain.”

Bailey propped herself up on the bed and said while smiling, “That's exactly what I was thinking. We have to keep trying everything in a desperate situation. Who knows, a miracle might happen. Even if it might not, we'll have nothing to fear as we're going to leave this world together.”

Artemis reached out and hugged her tightly. He then said while laughing helplessly, “You sure are open-minded. Tell me your thoughts on this blood exchange.”

Bailey nestled in his arms, and after a moment of silence, she said slowly, “Master's handwritten letter mentioned that two-thirds of the toxin from Soul Reaper is concentrated in the blood. So, draining the blood from your body might reduce the toxicity by two-thirds. As for the remaining one-third, we can use the method of fighting poison with poison.”

Artemis said, “Okay, I agree with this approach. You can just go ahead and do the bloodletting. No need to overthink it.”

Bailey glared at him and said with slight anger, “You can't just casually suggest bloodletting! It's very dangerous and could easily cost your life. If a person loses every single drop of the blood in their body, they would immediately go into shock and die.”

Artemis narrowed his eyes slightly.

“So, what do you plan to do?”

Bailey shook her head and said in a muffled voice, “I haven't figured it out yet. I have to extract all the blood from your body and then use medicine to clean all your blood vessels. During this process, you won't be able to survive without the blood supporting your body.”
