Lindsey was also Veikko's half-sister, as they shared the same father but had different mothers. Unfortunately, though they were from the same family, their destinies differ.
While Shaun and Lindsey lived under the protection of their family, Veikko struggled forward amidst the terror.
The beloved young man Caridee cherished had endured everything, all thanks to the Carter family. The last person she wanted to see right then was the descendant of the Carter family.
“What are you here for? Lindsey, don't waste your efforts. Bailey won't treat your brother because... Forget it! It's not my place as a bystander to comment on past grudges and resentments. In short, Bailey won't go and save your brother.”
Lindsey rushed to the bedside and said anxiously, “I heard from Shaun that Bailey is dead. It was Mr. Philip and Sofie who joined forces to kill her. Caridee, is... Is that true?”
Caridee's pupils contracted intensely twice. When she recovered her senses, her expression changed drastically. She suddenly pushed Lindsey away.
“What are you up to? Bailey is alive and well. I just saw her the day before yesterday. How can you curse her to die? If she dies, your whole family will be dead too.”
Lindsey lowered her head, and a hint of gloom flickered in her eyes.
Is this fool still clueless about Bailey's accident? Does that mean she has been left out by them? In that case, how can I still get any useful information from her?
“Caridee, listen to me. Shaun called me and told me to go home. He said Bailey has already passed away, and there's no point for me to stay here.”
“Then go back! Get lost!”
Caridee roared at Lindsey, “All of you from the Carter family are malicious and cunning. I won't believe a single word you say.”
After speaking, Caridee got off the bed, limping as she hurried toward the door. Lindsey reached out and grabbed her, placing a listening device that was held between her fingers onto Caridee's sleeve. Lindsey knew Caridee, the fool, would go to Zeke to find out about the situation.
Perhaps she could glean some clues, evidence, or trail from the conversation between the two.
If Bailey is really dead, then everyone will be overjoyed. If she didn't die, I'll continue to lurk here and wait for the perfect opportunity.
Caridee stumbled and fumbled her way to the Luther residence. Zeke received the news and came out to greet her. “Zeke, did something happen to Bailey?” Zeke frowned.
The news of Bailey's death did not spread to the public. Sofie and Philip both concealed the news of Bailey's death, clearly not wanting it to spread and become widely known, which would attract the outsiders' attention to Moranta. At that moment, Zeke wondered how Caridee found out about it.
“Caridee, how did you find out about it?”
Caridee did not answer but looked at Zeke with an anxious face.
She cried and pleaded, “Zeke, please tell me the truth. If not, I'll break down.” Upon seeing her like that, Zeke realized she was definitely on the verge of a breakdown.
But can I really tell her the truth?
A hint of hesitation flashed across Zeke's eyes. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, “Last night, Bailey secretly went to get the enhancer without telling me. When I found out, I chased after her, but I lost track of her. Later, the female bodyguard who went out with Bailey returned with the enhancer and informed us that Bailey had fallen into the hands of Sofie and her gang.”
Zeke continued, “I don't know whether she's dead or alive right now. I've already sent all my subordinates to investigate, but we haven't received any definite news yet.”
Caridee felt a sudden wave of dizziness and staggered backward.
“Did something happen? Did something really happen to her? That is impossible! She is so capable. How can she die so easily? In my eyes, she has always been strong.”
Zeke quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around Caridee's waist, carrying her in his arms.
As he approached her, the anti-tracking device on him started to vibrate more intensely. It meant that there was a listening device on Caridee.
Fortunately, Zeke did not let his guard down out of sympathy for her. Otherwise, the plan would have been exposed.
“Caridee, please prepare for the worst. In a way, it's not so bad. Since Artemis' death, Bailey has been living a life worse than death. If something unfortunate happens to her, it'll be a relief to her.”
Caridee lay in his arms and began to sob uncontrollably.
