Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 781

Chapter 781 Such Intense Hostility

Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.

“Okay, I got it. As soon as they arrive, have someone stop their car immediately and then bring Zephyr to me.”

“Yes, Mrs. Xuereb.” On the other side, a black sedan was driving along Haltwind Road, and Zephyr leaned against the car window, staring blankly at the snowy landscape outside.

Just now, he kept smiling at his grandfather's house, not wanting to let his grandfather worry. Veronique was at a critical moment; if she could pull through, their family would have a happy ending.

However, if she couldn't make it through, she would die, and Justin would follow her in death. Although he couldn't bear the pain of losing his parents at the same time, he didn't want to force his father to stay.

If his mother left, forcing his father to stay behind would be a cruel act. He didn't want to see his father living like a walking corpse daily.

If that was the case, he would rather have Justin join his mother in death. Just now, his grandfather advised him, telling him to learn how to persuade his father and save his father's life. But he had different plans. He would rather be without his parents' company than see them separated.

The road to heaven was lonely. With the company of Justin, Veronique wouldn't be lonely along the way.

Screech!

A sudden screech of brakes snapped Zephyr's wandering thoughts back to reality. In the next moment, the bodyguard's voice came from the driver's seat.

“Mr. Zephyr, we've been stopped. It seems they're targeting you.”

Zephyr calmed himself down and scanned around outside the car window. As he gazed at the luxurious cars parked by the roadside, his heart suddenly sank. He hadn't figured out the other party's intentions so that he couldn't act rashly for the time being, or else it might bring about fatal consequences.

“Go and ask who they are and what they want to do.”

“Yes.”

After the bodyguard got out of the car, Zephyr quickly took out his phone and sent a text message to Zayron.

I've run into some trouble. Can you send a few people to help me out? I'll send you my location now.

Three seconds later, the other party replied with a message.

All right, I'll be there in 20 minutes. Play some mind games with them for a bit, but don't take any action on your own.

After reading the text message, he prepared to send a reply when the bodyguard who went out to investigate returned at that moment and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Zephyr, it's Mrs. Xuereb. She would like to see you. What's your plan?”

Mrs. Xuereb? Why does that old witch suddenly want to meet me? It must be up to no good.

“What if I don't? What do they want?”

“I think she will send someone to bring you over, then. Mr. Zephyr, there are too many of them, and it's almost impossible for us to break through.”

Zephyr rolled his eyes, thoughts racing quickly.

That old biddy is hoping for Justin to marry Scarlett. If they kill me, it would be hard for them to handle the situation, and Dad would probably go all out to find them. So, I guess they won't dare do anything to me at the moment.

After realizing that, he was no longer afraid and reached out to open the car door.

Upon seeing that, the bodyguard quickly reached out to stop him.

“Mr. Zephyr, their intentions are unclear. You cannot take the risk of meeting her. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Mr. Xuereb.”

Zephyr waved his hand and said coldly, “No worries, even if I don't go out, she will send someone to bring me over, anyway. I might as well take the initiative. When you went to check on them just now, I contacted Zayron. He'll be here soon; we only need to stall for 20 minutes.”

The bodyguard saw his determined attitude and noticed several people in black approaching from a distance; he gritted his teeth and reluctantly let go of his arm.

“Please be careful.”

“Um.”

Zephyr hopped off the car, led by two people in black, and walked to the other side before diving into the back of the car. As soon as he entered, he was choked by the thick fog filling the car.

He thought the old witch was trying to use a stupefying drug on him and instinctively wanted to leave. However, the people outside didn't give him a chance to get off the vehicle. With a loud bang, the sliding door closed directly. Zephyr looked warily at Olivia across from him, his eyes dancing with a wild, beast-like flame.

“What exactly do you want to do? After all, I am a member of the Xuereb family. Are you really going to exterminate me? If I die, I'm afraid the mother-son relationship between you and your son will come to an end. Is it worth it to damage your bond for someone like me?”

A hint of peculiarity flashed across Olivia's eyes. She wanted to get rid of him once and for all, but she knew very well that if he died, Justin would cut off ties with her.

The loss outweighed the gain Just before Zephyr entered, she sprayed all the potion from the bottle into the air. He was completely tainted, and her goal had been achieved. There was no need to complicate the matter.

“You, child, why do you harbor such hostility? I am your Grandma, and just as you said earlier, you are of the Xuereb family bloodline. Even wild beasts look after their young, so how could I possibly harm you? You've misunderstood me. I called you over to my car just to catch up with you. After all, we'll spend a lot of time together in the future and see each other frequently. We should also cultivate our relationship. I believe I will love you just like any other grandmother would, and I hope you can respect me as an elder, just like other grandchildren do with their grandparents.”

Zephyr knew she was talking nonsense. That old witch was eagerly waiting for Veronique's death. She was wicked and to trust her words would be like digging one's own grave.

“I'm sorry. But I have never considered you as a grandmother, and you don't need to treat me as a grandson. Mrs. Xuereb, if you don't have any further instructions, I'll take my leave now.”

With that, he turned around and wanted to pull the car door open.

Olivia said with a light smile, “It's okay. You might not know me well, so feeling unfamiliar is natural. After spending more time together, you'll get to know my temperament. I actually really like children. When your mother dies, I'll take you back-”

Before she could finish speaking, Zephyr suddenly seemed to be provoked. He suddenly turned around, grabbed her arm, and then fiercely bit her wrist.

Olivia screamed in anger, “Damn you, low life! How dare you bite me! It seems that no matter what I do, I can't turn a wild creature like you into a tamed one.” After saying that, she abruptly pulled the car door open and then flung him out.

Zephyr had been following Zayron for training all the time and had become agile. At the very moment when he was sent flying, he shifted his body and then landed steadily on the ground.

“Ha, just one sentence exposed you, revealing your true colors. Old witch, don't pretend to talk to me like that, it's disgusting. I don't treat you as a grandmother because you don't deserve it.”

“You...”

Olivia wanted to drive and run him over, but when she thought about how the little troublemaker was the only one who could get close to Veronique, she barely managed to suppress her urge.

Just wait a bit longer! Wait for that despicable woman to die, and I shall deal with this brat properly.

“What are you waiting for? Drive.”

Zephyr stood rooted on the ground. He squinted at the departing convoy, and a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes.

She left just like that? Why is she stopping my car, then?
