Chapter 585 I Cannot Protect You Anymore
Bailey took a deep breath and looked at him expectantly.
“Okay, go ahead. Why are you becoming more and more like a long-winded woman?”
Edmund laughed and forcibly pushed her back onto the chair. Sighing, he said, “If he had gone alone, I would have
gone with him no matter what he said. But that's not the case. Your brother is with him, so relax.”
Bailey breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could say anything, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
In the next second, Gwendolyn led Steven and Waverly into the room.
“Bay, the Shurmers said they wanted to see you, so I brought them here.”
Bailey responded with a nod but didn't pay much attention to the couple. She picked up her fork and started eating
without any expression.
Waverly looked a little embarrassed and stammered for a while before finally asking, “I heard you were involved in
a car accident. I came to see you. Are you okay?”
Bailey shrugged and said in a light tone, “My mother-in-law saved my life with her own, so now I'm her true
daughter even if she didn't give birth to me. Did you come here late at night just to see me, Mrs. Shurmer? If that's
the case, please leave. I'm an unlucky woman and don't deserve such an honor.”
Waverly pursed her lips while looking at Bailey's cold expression. Bailey looked very unfriendly, her eyes devoid of

Her husband was right; all their biological children had turned their backs on them.
“Although I don't agree with you coming back to the Shurmer family, we're still related by blood. I was really
worried when I heard about your accident, so I came to see you in the middle of the night.”
Bailey raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a slight smile. “You're worried about me? Okay, then agree to let
me go back to the Shurmer family and announce to the world that Zoey is just a foster daughter, and I'm the real
daughter. That way, you can show your sincerity. Otherwise, I'll treat you as a stranger.”
Waverly struggled to contain her anger but couldn't help raising her voice after hearing Bailey's words. “Bailey,
you...”
“If you didn't come with sincerity, then please leave, Mrs. Shurmer. Goodbye, and I won't bother to see you out.”
Waverly was speechless.
Inside a suite of a five-star hotel, Scarlett tightly held onto her phone, waiting for good news from Zoey.
Unfortunately, she didn't receive any news from Zoey, only a call from Raiden.
As soon as the call connected, her brother's first words were, “Did you cause that major accident in the suburbs of
Hallsbay?”
Scarlett's fingers trembled, and the phone almost slipped from her palm.
“R-Raiden, what do you mean? How could I, Lady Scarlett of Chanaea, treat human life like trash? Don't accuse me
without evidence.”
Raiden's cold laughter came from the other end of the line. “Okay, even if you don't admit it, that's fine. I hope it's
not you. Otherwise, even the Fletcher family can't protect you. Five dead and twelve injured? Scarlett, even if the
Fletcher family has superhuman powers, we can't cover up such a big issue. Good luck to you.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Scarlett's legs went weak, and she collapsed on the couch.
What should I do? I regret it! I really regret it. How could I have been so foolish as to plan such a major traffic
accident? Five dead and twelve injured? Even if the Fletcher family is at the pinnacle of power, they can't protect
me.
What should I do? What should I do? If Bailey had died, I could still accept it, but now five lives are on my shoulders
while that woman is still alive and well. What's the point of everything I did?
A text message notification sounded from her phone.
She quickly picked it up and saw a message: The mission failed. All the spies I planted in the Saviors were killed.
Good luck to you.
The sender was a series of encrypted numbers.
D*mn Zoey! Did she send me a message with an unknown number to avoid being caught? And now she wants me
to fend for myself? That b*tch!

stomach.”
At the Saviors branch, the person in charge rushed into the lounge and said to Zayron, “Sir, they all took their own
lives by taking poison. There are no survivors or clues left behind.”
Zayron's expression turned grim.
He had hoped to pry open their mouths and get some useful information from them, but after trying for most of
the night, he had nothing.
Zeke shook his head and said, “Investigate the entire branch and check out these people's social circles. See if we
can find anything new.”
“Yes, sir.”
With that, Zeke stood up from the couch and said to Zayron, “Let's go back first. Don't rush it. We'll take them down
one by one, starting with Scarlett.”
“Okay.”
In a ward at the psychiatric hospital, Rhonda reached out and smashed everything on the bedside table to pieces,
then held her head and cried out in a hoarse voice, “Why am I not crazy anymore? I wanted to stay mad forever!
How could you be so cruel and allow me to remember that disgusting and filthy experience?”
The doctor next to her said to the nurse, “Tell Ms. Bailey that she has returned to normal and that this drug won't let
her escape from her memories. She'll live in pain every day, reliving that experience over and over again.”
