Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 882

Chapter 882 Find A Way To Kill Her Daughter

Caridee pursed her lips as she looked at the evil man.

I'm fully aware that this lunatic is shameless and despicable, having lost all semblance of human decency. A person of his nature is capable of anything, even things that defy all sense of morality. In his eyes, integrity is nothing more than a joke, something he can trample on at will.

“W-What do you mean by that?”

Shaun burst into hearty laughter upon seeing how frightened she was and almost couldn't help forcing himself on her and ravishing her mercilessly.

Unfortunately, he was impotent, lacking the necessary conditions.

The realization that he would be forever deprived of such earthly pleasures ignited an uncontainable wave of bitterness within him.

I must tear that b*stard into pieces and reduce him to ashes.

“You want to know? Sure, I'll tell you. The day I kidnapped you, I also arranged for an imposter to take your place.

“That imposter has already been taken to the branch of the Saviors by that jerk. They're practically inseparable, spending every minute of every day together. Just now, I ordered that imposter to go and seduce your little man. So, be patient. I'll put on a thrilling live-action show for you tonight.”

Caridee's pupils constricted.

If that's really the case, wouldn't my efforts be meaningless? If that imposter gets her way, she will ruin Veikko's life.

“No, you can't do that! He's your younger brother! You'll ruin his life by doing that!”

Slap!

Shaun landed a hard slap across her face.

“Ruin his life? How dare you mention that word in my face, you b*tch? That jerk set a mastiff on me, rendering me impotent for life. He's clearly the one who ruined me first for causing me such harm! A b*tch will always be a b*tch. I can't believe you're blindly defending him. But so what? You're still my woman, and he'll still make love with someone else. I'll make your lives a living hell.”

Seeing his bloodshot eyes, Caridee realized he was on the verge of losing control and dared not provoke him any further.

She was currently drained both physically and mentally. With her energy depleted and her mind fatigued, even if he intended to do something to her, she wouldn't have the capacity to utilize hypnosis to save herself.

After a moment of silence, she forced a bitter smile and said, “Forget it. Nothing else matters now that I've been... by you. How can I have the audacity to think about a future with him? Whatever grudges you hold against each other, sort it out yourselves. Don't involve me anymore. I just want to live my life in peace.”

Shaun slowly straightened his body, his anger gradually subsiding. He no longer appeared as intimidating as before.

“I still need to discuss business with Tucker. I don't have the time to deal with you. As long as you behave and don't defy me, I might just let you go once I've had enough fun. When I come back tonight, I'll think of other ways to deal with you. Wait here for me.”

Having said that, he strode out of the room.

Only then did Caridee begin to breathe heavily.

She got overly anxious just now, which almost caused her to lose her composure.

Now that she had calmed down, she surmised that Veikko might not necessarily be fooled.

She refused to believe that an imposter could ever replace her place in his heart.

Besides, on the day she was captured, Bailey should have already arrived in Moranta.

Given Bailey's sharp instincts, that imposter probably had already been completely exposed.

What she needed to do now was to conserve her strength and prepare herself to deal with Shaun, the scumbag, not letting him get the better of her.

In a coffee shop on the corner of the street, Matilda was sitting beside the window in a private room on the second floor, her gaze fixed on the door in anticipation. A hint of impatience flickered in her eyes.

She had an appointment with someone, and they were scheduled to meet at exactly eleven o'clock.

However, it was already a quarter past eleven, and the person still hadn't arrived. They weren't even answering their phone.

Ding!

The cellphone on the table suddenly buzzed.

She quickly reached out to pick it up, swiping the screen to answer the call and turning on the speaker.

“Where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet?”

A young woman's voice traveled from the other end of the phone. It was Eunice's voice. “I can't show myself. I'll be exposed. Mrs. Lockette, you wish for your daughter to marry into the Luther family, seeking powerful backing for your clan. On the other hand, I intend to prevent Mr. Simon from marrying my cousin. So, all things considered, our goals align. Perhaps we should consider the possibility of collaboration. Now, the only obstacle in your daughter's way is Catherine. All you need to do is help me eliminate her, and in the future, the Rogers will also protect the Locketts.”

Matilda wasn't surprised upon hearing the younger woman's words, for she had already guessed her intentions.

“Seems like those rumors about the Rogers sisters not getting along, fighting tooth and nail behind closed doors, are actually legit. I don't need you to tell me to remove that stumbling block for my daughter's sake. But you'll have to tell me what your cousin's weaknesses are, so I can tailor my approach accordingly.”

A soft chuckle traveled through the speaker, sending chills down Matilda's spine. She came to understand that this young lady from the Rogers family was not one to be trifled with.

Taking down Catherine and paving the way for my daughter to marry into the Luther family might really be possible if I work with her.

Ever since the wedding was disrupted a few days ago, the royal family had begun to question whether the Lockett family was contemplating treason.

The seeds of doubt had already been sown, and no matter how many amends they made, they couldn't regain the royal family's trust.

In that case, they decided to take a gamble, attaching themselves to the powerful Luther family in order to completely break free from the control of the royal family.

“That cousin of mine doesn't have any weaknesses. She's nearly perfect in the eyes of everyone in our family. However, she has a daughter who has been afflicted with parasitic fragrance. If her daughter dies, she would likely fall into despair. Here's the plan. You find a way to eliminate her daughter, and leave the rest to me. After all, she's an expert in perfume blending. You're no match for her.”

After giving it some thought, Matilda decided that dealing with a young girl shouldn't be too difficult, and so, she nodded in agreement.

“Sounds good. Let's go ahead with this plan. I wish you success in advance. When you successfully ascend to the position of the head of the family, don't forget to aid the Lockett family in secret.”

“Sure thing. From today onward, we're allies. Who knows, I might need help from the Lockett family in the future.”

At a mansion in the countryside, Sofie sat on the couch in the living room, her cold gaze fixed on the disheveled Zoey across from her.

“I thought you'd be living the high life after leaving me, but look at you now. You're a complete mess,” she mocked.

Zoey met her sarcastic gaze and responded lightly, “You don't seem to be doing any better than me. Aren't you also constantly on the run? While I might have to endure all kinds of hardships out there, it's still a hundred times better than being at your side, manipulated like a pawn. I was blind and befuddled back then to have foolishly believed in your benevolent facade. Now, I've ended up being kicked out by the Shurmer family, roaming the streets like a homeless stray. I only have myself to blame.”

Sofie suddenly tightened her grip on the wine glass in her hand, a dark glint flashing past her eyes as an aura of murderous intent spread around her.

“Hand over the Encyclopedia of Poison you stole from Kurt. I'll make the latter half of your life a tad more bearable.”
