Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 955

Chapter 955 The Unbearable Photo

An hour later.

Inside a certain grove in the countryside.

Kurt leaned against the car door, raising an eyebrow as he watched Simon and Cameron across from him.

“Is she here, the person I asked for? If yes, let's proceed with the exchange simultaneously.”

Simon narrowed his eyes at Kurt, his voice icy and detached. “Kurt, you've got quite the nerve, daring to come here alone. Aren't you afraid we might just kill you right here?”

Kurt spread his hands, his face full of indifference. “If I die, Blaze will be in a terrible situation. Either she would be tormented to death, or she would be sold to the filthiest of places. Mr. Simon, before you make a move, you should first ask if Mr. Yablon and Ms. Bailey agree.”

“Despicable.” Simon cursed vehemently, “Using a woman as a shield, are you even a man?”

Kurt shamelessly smirked; his words were disgustingly filthy. “Whether I'm a man or not, you guys definitely don't know, but Blaze does. These days, we've been together all the time, and my private part is almost worn out...”

Bang!

Simon couldn't take it anymore and fired a shot directly into the air.

Once the noise had faded, he glanced at Cameron from the corner of his eyes. Seeing his tense expression, his heart inexplicably sank.

This guy is holding back his anger.

If Kurt were to utter more provocative words, he couldn't guarantee that Cameron wouldn't lose his temper.

“Enough, Kurt. Your shamelessness is clear for all to see, so there's no need for you to keep emphasizing it here. I've brought the person. What about the things we need? Have you prepared them as well?”

Kurt flashed a smile, took out a package from the car, and instructed his bodyguard to hand it over to Simon.

The bodyguard nodded, walked over to Simon with the item in hand, and handed it to him.

Simon took it and unwrapped the package.

Just as he was about to flip through the encyclopedia, Kurt began to chuckle softly.

“Mr. Lu, I have placed something in the encyclopedia. It's specifically prepared for Mr. Yablon. You really shouldn't look. I advise you to give it to him. It's something only he can see.”

A suspicion formed in Simon's heart, and he instinctively tightened his grip on the encyclopedia.

If there truly was something unspeakable inside, then he couldn't give it to Cameron.

Kurt seemed to have read his mind and couldn't help but laugh. “That thing, I've prepared two of them. I still have one in my hand. If you destroy it, then I'll have no choice but to reveal the backup copy for everyone to see.”

Simon gritted his teeth tightly, the grinding sound echoing eerily.

Seeing that Simon's attention was diverted, Cameron swiftly snatched the package from the former's hands.

He first took out the toxin formula from below, carefully looked it over, and said, “It's the toxin formula. Take it first, then wait for me in the car.”

Simon suddenly became anxious, and he asked in a deep voice, “What are you trying to do?”

“Don't worry. I won't overstep my bounds. I've mentally prepared myself before coming here.”

Simon wanted to say something, but upon meeting the other party's cold gaze, he decided to hold back.

He ordered someone to escort Eunice out of the car, and then, holding the toxin formula, he climbed into the vehicle.

With an expressionless face, Cameron looked at Kurt across from him and asked deliberately, “What have you done to her?”

Kurt flashed a faint smile as he responded casually, “Such a delicacy. How could I bear to harm her? Don't worry. She's doing fine. I've been taking great care of her, really great.”

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the Encyclopedia of Poison in Cameron's hand with his chin and said with a smirk, “This encyclopedia is the most sacred thing of your Yablon family, isn't it? Now, I've tucked in a photo of my intimate moment with Blaze inside. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?”

Cameron's pupils contracted sharply, and the fingers holding the encyclopedia turned an abnormal shade of white.

After a moment of silence, he slowly flipped through the encyclopedia.

The sight of that unbearable photograph deeply pierced his gaze.

As he stared at her vacant gaze, a pang of wordless guilt and self-reproach spread through his entire being.

There was no greater sorrow than a heart that has ceased to feel.

He saw in her lifeless eyes a longing for a solution to death.

Once upon a time, those vibrant eyes reflected nothing but his image.

But now, only despair and ashes remained.

“How about that? Our passionate scenes are quite intense and wild, aren't they, Cameron? Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have had her first time? How could I have tasted her sweetness?”

Thud!

Cameron launched a kick directly, sending Eunice sprawling on the ground, right at Kurt's feet.

“If Blaze dies, I swear I'll tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust.”

Having said that, he turned around and walked toward the car.

His silhouette remained upright as ever, but upon closer inspection, one could notice his shoulders trembling.

In truth, he really wanted to kill Kurt and send him straight to hell.

But he was also afraid, terrified that Blaze would suffer even greater harm.

That scoundrel Kurt has always been a madman. He said that if anything happens to him, Blaze will suffer even greater pain. It must be true.

How dare he gamble with Blaze's life?

Moreover, Cameron knew that the woman was clinging to her last breath, most likely with the intention of ending Kurt's life with her own hands.

If Kurt were to die, she might take her own life before Cameron could even find her.

“Haha, Cameron, once Blaze is pregnant, I'll let you know. I'll share with you the joy of becoming a father.”

What responded to him next was the jarring sound of a door being slammed.

Simon watched Cameron climb into the vehicle, the latter's aura of pain and sorrow leaving him stunned.

“C-Cameron, are you okay?”

Cameron hung his head low, his hands trembling as he fumbled for a lighter in his pocket.

Simon wanted to get closer, but he didn't dare to.

His sorrow is something only he can confront. No one else can help him with it.

After a good while, Cameron shakily took out a lighter.

With a “pop,” the flame danced on the photo, and in no time, it devoured the image on it.

As the ashes disintegrated in his palm, wave after wave of burning sensation swept over him.

Biting back the intense pain, he managed to rasp out, “Go back.”

Simon opened his mouth, a bitter taste spreading from the tip of his tongue, leaving him momentarily unable to find his voice.

If the roles were reversed, if it were Catherine in his place, he didn't think he could bear it.

After a long silence, he finally found his voice. However, instead of offering comfort, he said, “Ken, let's go. Return to the manor.”

Only after Simon and his group had left did Kurt lower his head to examine the woman at his feet.

“Eunice, you should know that you were destined to die today. However, it was I who saved you. You'd better prove to me that you still have some worth. Otherwise... I won't mind giving you an extra stab.”

Struggling, Eunice managed to get up, a bloodthirsty chill flashing in her eyes.

“We share a common enemy. I will utilize my art of perfumery to the fullest extent, lending you as much assistance as I can.”

Kurt sneered, reaching out to hold her chin and patting her cheek twice. “A pretty face, but what a pity, you have a vicious heart. Go and create some incense that can induce hallucinations for me. I have a use for it.”

“Noted.”
